Chapter 1599
“You really should pay more attention to protecting yourself,” Nalani said, her tone softening into something more tender and caring as she spoke to Belinda.
Belinda didn’t elaborate further on the matter. Instead, she turned her attention to Barbara. “Miss Dury, how has your recovery been over the past few days? Have you experienced any discomfort or unusual symptoms?”
Barbara practically radiated with unbridled happiness. “No, I feel absolutely magnificent in every way!”
Belinda chuckled with genuine joy. “I thoroughly reviewed your recent test reports, and all the medical indicators are approaching normal ranges. After a few more days, once we confirm everything remains stable, you can be discharged and continue your recovery at home.”
“Really?” Barbara’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Yes,” Belinda nodded.
“That’s wonderful news!” Barbara exclaimed, overjoyed.
Nalani couldn’t contain her overwhelming gratitude and stepped forward, grasping Belinda’s hand with trembling fingers. She had shifted from addressing her formally as “Dr. Wright” to the more intimate “Belinda.”
“There’s no need to thank me. I didn’t do much,” Belinda replied modestly.
Although she had skillfully performed Barbara’s complex surgery, few knew she was the surgeon behind it.
Nalani’s hand quivered slightly as she held Belinda’s gently. “You weren’t the surgeon for Barbara’s operation, but she told me how much you motivated her. You visited her whenever you had time, chatting with her and helping her manage her fears and anxieties. So, Belinda, you’ve done a lot for us.”
“It’s simply my obligation as her attending physician,” Belinda replied with characteristic modesty.
The more Belinda downplayed her extraordinary efforts, the deeper Nalani’s admiration and appreciation for her grew.
From Nalani’s perspective, Belinda’s actions went far beyond the typical duties of an attending physician and truly deserved recognition.
Nalani had researched Belinda’s treatment of previous patients and discovered that she approached every patient with the same compassion and dedication, regardless of their financial situation or social status.
Belinda had even quietly covered medical expenses for patients who couldn’t afford proper care.
Nalani genuinely respected and admired Belinda, recognizing her as someone truly exceptional in every way.
Furthermore, she now understood why someone as remarkable as Lucas had fallen so deeply in love with Belinda.
Even Harold, who had met countless people throughout his distinguished life and earned widespread respect, held Belinda in the highest regard.
Belinda deserved every bit of it.
