Chapter 888:
“Belinda?” Kylee, who had been observing the procedure beside Turner, was the first to recover. Her voice rang out, sharp and demanding.
“What are you doing here?”
“Dr. Ortiz was unable to find the cause of the patient’s abnormal bleeding, so Mr. Rodgers asked me to come and take a look,” Belinda explained calmly.
Everyone in the operating room seemed to freeze at her words, and the only sound that broke the silence was the beeping and whirring of various machines.
“You? Take a look? What makes you think you’re qualified to do that? Do you honestly think you’re more skilled than my mentor?” Kylee scoffed and rolled her eyes, as if she had just heard the most ridiculous joke.
“You are not needed here!” Turner said coldly.
“Leave!”
Belinda didn’t even flinch.
“Dr. Ortiz, failing to find the cause of a patient’s bleeding is an alarming matter.”
“Who said I couldn’t find it?” Turner retorted, clearly agitated.
Just then, the phone in the operating room rang. A nurse rushed over to answer it and then put it on speaker.
Caiden was on the line, and he had only one thing to say.

“Turner, let Belinda take a look.”
The color drained from Turner’s face for a few seconds.
“Mr. Rodgers—” he started, but Caiden cut him off sharply.
“Dr. Ortiz! Remember that you are a doctor before anything else. You must always put the patient’s safety first. Since you cannot find the source of the problem, step aside and let someone else have a go at it! Time is running out!” Caiden’s words were blunt and authoritative, and they stung.
The operating room fell silent.
Turner took a deep breath to steady himself.
“Well, what if Belinda doesn’t find the cause, either? What then, Mr. Rodgers?”
“She will find it. Now, move!” Caiden spoke with absolute certainty. He hung up before Turner could protest.
Turner could only laugh in frustration.
“Fine!” he said, turning to Belinda with a bitter glint in his eyes.
“Mr. Rodgers seems to have a lot of faith in you, Dr. Wright. Feel free to take over now!” He was eager to see just how remarkable Belinda could be.
Beside him, Kylee was quite surprised that Turner had caved in so easily.
Still, she believed that since her esteemed mentor couldn’t find the source of the bleeding, how could Belinda possibly find it? She was convinced that Belinda was merely bluffing. She would wait and see Belinda fail.
