Chapter 42

Chapter 42:
Kylee’s inquiry didn’t come as a surprise.
That day, Kylee had been at the Thomas family’s banquet but had to leave abruptly due to a call from her mentor. As a result, she was unaware of Belinda’s recent act of heroism or Darren’s comments about Belinda potentially joining Grand Plains General Hospital.
Reacting to Belinda’s earlier comment, Kylee beamed and said, “Yes, I’ve started working at Grand Plains General Hospital.” A look of pride washed over her as she spoke.
Intrigued, Belinda asked, “Really? What’s your role there? Are you an attending physician or something else?”
Kylee was caught off guard by the question. Her face tensed briefly before she replied with a forced smile, “Actually, I’m not officially on staff yet. You see, Grand Plains General Hospital only hires the best. There’s a strict entry process with exams and several selection stages.”
After a slight pause, Kylee continued, “I’m currently at Grand Plains General Hospital as an apprentice to the Chief Surgeon in the Cardiac Surgery Department. I’m still in training, but my mentor believes that with another two years of hard work and experience, I’ll be ready to pass the exams.”
Belinda nodded in understanding and replied, “I see.”
Kylee then added, “Belinda, why not join me there? Initially, you might not meet the criteria to train, but you could start by assisting me. With a couple of years of experience, you could likely move up to a trainee position.”
Belinda smiled politely and responded, “Thank you, but I’ve already secured a job. I start tomorrow.”

Curious, Kylee asked, “Oh? Where will you be working?”
With a meaningful smile, Belinda said, “You’ll know soon enough.”
“Fair enough,” Kylee replied, though internally she dismissed Belinda’s new job, suspecting she would be working at a lesser-known hospital or clinic, perhaps too modest to mention.
Throughout the meal, Kylee continued steering the conversation towards various topics, trying to engage Belinda. “Belinda, now that you’re the goddaughter of Mr. Thomas, I’m so thrilled for you. Since our families are closer now, maybe you could find out when Santino and Mollie are free for a dinner with my family?”
Belinda responded with a nonchalant expression, “We’ll see.” Both Santino and Mollie harbored disdain for Baker because of how he had treated Belinda, causing them to react negatively whenever he was mentioned.
Kylee, frustrated by Belinda’s lukewarm response but aware of her current aloofness, held back any further comments.
Once their meal concluded, they left the restaurant together. Belinda politely turned down Kylee’s suggestion to continue their afternoon together and then drove off from the restaurant.
Back at the Clark family estate, the air in the living room crackled with tension.
