Chapter 423:
Kenia frowned and replied, “It’s not about being the first surgery. It’s about giving the patient the best.”
Holley pressed her lips together for a moment and then replied, “I know. I was just speaking casually.”
She turned back to Belinda, curiosity lighting her features. “What time is the surgery?”
“Tomorrow morning at eight,” Belinda answered.
Kenia’s brow furrowed slightly, her expression softening with concern. “Will your injured ankle affect your performance?” she asked.
Belinda smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll be fine.”
Kenia nodded. “That’s good to hear.”
The next morning, as Belinda prepared to leave for work, Holley approached her with a container in hand. “Here.” She held it out to Belinda. “I made you breakfast. Take it.”
Belinda blinked, a bit surprised. It had been so long since her mother had made her breakfast.
Holley shoved the box into her arms with a gentle smile. “Well? Don’t just stand there. Take it,” she said.
Belinda’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Thank you, Mom.” She tucked the box under her arm and left the house, unaware that what awaited her that day would be far from ordinary. It would be a day that nearly cost her life.
Belinda arrived at the hospital early and quickly changed into her white coat. She retrieved the breakfast Holley had prepared for her and started to eat. Though one of the dishes, the one with artichoke, wasn’t to her liking, Belinda finished all the dishes, not wanting to waste any food.

With breakfast done, she started her preparations for the upcoming surgery. When the time came, Belinda proceeded to the operating room. Today marked her first surgery as the lead surgeon, a significant step up since her promotion to attending physician.
The surgery began without a hitch. The resident doctors and the surgical nurses assisting Belinda were all impressed with her speed and precision. Her movements were both rapid and smooth. To an onlooker, it might appear as if she had years of experience behind her.
But during a crucial moment, Belinda’s colleagues noticed a sudden tremor in her hand as it gripped the scalpel.
“Dr. Wright, are you okay?” one of the doctors inquired, breaking the silence.
Belinda’s face tensed momentarily. She shook her head and said calmly, “I’m fine.”
She dismissed the incident and carried on with the procedure. As the surgery progressed, however, Belinda felt her breath become shallow, and her hands began to tremble once more. Still, she remained resolute, pushing through to complete the operation.
She could not allow herself to be distracted now, not at this critical juncture. She steadied herself, focusing intently on the surgery. Yet, as time went on, she felt increasingly uncomfortable.
