Chapter 1433:
The next morning, when Belinda woke up, she stretched like a cat before rolling over and nudging Lucas. “Get up.”
Lucas groaned, pulling the sheets over his head. “Alright, alright.”
Belinda slipped out of bed, pulled on her slippers, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
After getting ready, Lucas went downstairs for breakfast, while Belinda drove straight to the hospital.
She had a surgery scheduled for the morning, so she needed to grab breakfast at the hospital cafeteria.
The surgery didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Complications arose halfway through, forcing the team to work overtime.
By the time it was over, it was one in the afternoon.
Belinda’s legs felt like jelly as she left the operating room.
Weary, she slumped into a chair in the changing room, exhaling deeply.
Soon, her stomach began to grumble.
She quickly changed out of her surgical scrubs and was about to head toward the cafeteria when a nurse approached her.
“Dr. Wright, someone’s looking for you. She says she’s your boyfriend’s niece and has been waiting for over two hours.”
Belinda paused, surprised.
Lucas’ niece? Faye was here?
“Alright, I got it. Thank you,” Belinda said, nodding to the nurse.
Adjusting her path, she headed toward the Cardiac Surgery Department.
Sure enough, she saw Faye sitting on a bench outside the doctors’ offices.

“Faye,” Belinda called gently as she approached.
Faye immediately stood and offered a bright smile. “Belinda! Did you just finish performing surgery?”
“Yeah,” Belinda nodded. “What brings you here?”
Faye replied, “I just wanted to have lunch with you and chat a bit. I asked a nurse, and she said your surgery was almost done, so I waited. I didn’t expect it to take this long.”
She pouted lightly. “Belinda, you really need to treat me to a meal to make up for this.”
Belinda gave a small laugh. “The surgery should have ended two hours ago, but there were some unexpected complications. Come on, I’ll treat you to lunch. But it’ll have to be at the hospital cafeteria; I have to be back at work in an hour.”
“Alright! Let’s go.” Faye beamed, linking arms with her.
Together, they headed to the cafeteria.
Once they had ordered and found a quiet corner to sit, Belinda turned to Faye. “So, Faye, what did you want to talk to me about?”
