Chapter 52

Chapter 52:
Hearing this, Belinda scoffed and retorted, “Who said I needed her help to get into Grand Plains General Hospital?”
This left Kylee and the two doctors momentarily speechless.
“Excuse me? Do you really think the Grand Plains General Hospital is just any hospital that you can enter and exit at will? Even Kylee is merely our director’s apprentice, not a full-fledged staff member. And you believe you can just work here without any help?”
“Young lady, it’s fine to be ambitious, but you need to keep your feet on the ground and avoid aiming for the impossible,” Kylee said, her voice growing sharper with each word. By the end of her outburst, her cheeks were flushed with the intensity of her emotions.
Belinda had somehow secured a full-time position as a resident physician at the Grand Plains General Hospital. How was that even possible? Kylee’s complexion shifted from ashen to crimson, the storm of her emotions evident. Her earlier words, spoken with such confidence, now seemed to echo back at her like a stinging rebuke.
Belinda responded with a derisive snort, a clear sign of her disdain for Kylee’s reaction. Was this Kylee showing her true colors at last?
The other doctors in the room exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting a mixture of curiosity and unease. They had previously regarded Kylee as a caring older sister, someone who was protective of her sibling. Yet now, here she was, exposing Belinda’s perceived shortcomings in front of everyone, her tone growing more heated with each passing moment.
Considering the circumstances, though, it wasn’t entirely surprising that Kylee was upset. She had spent a year at Grand Plains General Hospital without securing a permanent role, while Belinda had seemingly waltzed in and already earned a full-time position. To many, her frustration seemed justified.
As she caught the looks of her colleagues, Kylee seemed to realize the implications of her words. Her tone softened as she turned to Belinda. “I’m sorry, Belinda. That came out wrong. I was just surprised by the news and curious about how it happened.”

At that moment, Kylee’s ally, Talia Holland, a middle-aged woman known for her sharp tongue, chimed in. “Mr. Campbell, isn’t it a rule here that everyone must pass the hospital’s internal exam to join? Those exams are held in January, and it’s already June. The exam season has long passed.”
As Josh’s gaze shifted toward Belinda, a middle-aged doctor interjected promptly. “Mr. Campbell, we typically don’t allow visitors here. She’s here because she’s Kylee’s assistant.”
Josh paused mid-thought, his eyebrows arching in surprise. “Kylee’s assistant?”
“Yes,” Kylee replied, standing up with a confident air.
Josh let out a brief scoff before walking directly toward Belinda. She felt a wave of resignation wash over her. She had hoped to keep a low profile, but now, with Caiden’s assistant present, any chance of remaining unnoticed had vanished.
“Are you getting along with everyone already?” Josh asked, his tone light but probing.
