Chapter 1444:
The hospital director took that cue to step in. “Of course, Mrs. Dury. Please take all the time you need. In the meantime, I’ll arrange a comprehensive preliminary check-up for your daughter.”
“All right.” Nalani nodded.
Turner, however, did not look pleased.
He hadn’t expected that even after laying everything out, Nalani still needed time to consider the matter.
But he also knew the real reason behind this: Nalani trusted Caiden.
Thinking of this, Turner couldn’t help but grit his teeth in anger.
Drawing a breath to steady his emotions, he pulled a business card from his coat and handed it to Nalani. “If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”
“Okay,” Nalani said, accepting the card without hesitation.
With that, the director, Caiden, and Turner all left Barbara’s hospital room.
Since Nalani had asked for time to consider, pushing the matter further would be futile. And so, the director, Caiden, and Turner returned to their respective offices, saying no more about the situation.
But the news didn’t stay contained for long; it rippled swiftly through the Cardiac Surgery Department, stirring up murmurs of astonishment.
Once again, the matter had turned into a competition between Belinda and Turner.
Most people believed that in terms of medical skills and experience, Belinda couldn’t compare to Turner.
Even setting Turner aside, there were still three deputy chief physicians. How could Belinda be entrusted with such a high-profile case?
As the whispers grew, some people began to secretly talk about Belinda’s identity.

She was, after all, in a relationship with Lucas, a man of considerable power.
Some believed that Caiden had recommended her partly because he had personally recruited her and partly because she had Lucas’s support.
Behind closed doors, many were dissatisfied with Caiden. They saw his recommendation as biased.
Soon, the news reached Belinda, and she was surprised by it.
Truth be told, Belinda believed Caiden’s decision to recommend her might not have been the wisest move.
Caiden knew she was Star and that she was more than capable of taking over the case of this patient with Marfan syndrome. But the others didn’t.
Still, Caiden was not wrong.
Because in matters involving Marfan syndrome, her expertise was second to none.
This condition, a rare genetic disorder, was not something every physician could handle with confidence. Patients with Marfan syndrome were often tall, with unusually long limbs and fingers.
The most life-threatening complications of Marfan syndrome often involved the aorta, with aortic aneurysms and dissections being the most common, posing a risk of sudden death.
