Chapter 1479:
She knew the surgery had been done well, and she wanted to take on the task of helping Barbara recover.
The problem was, Turner was still officially Barbara’s attending physician. But Belinda knew that no one would question the legendary Star if she recommended someone to take over the position.
After everything, Belinda was fairly certain that Nalani would agree to anything Star said.
Sure enough, Nalani nodded without hesitation. “Yes, of course. I will do as you say.”
Belinda gave her a brisk nod, and without saying anything else, left the hospital with Fred and Kori.
Belinda still needed to monitor Barbara’s condition in the ICU, so she had Fred drive her to a nearby coffee shop.
Belinda shed her disguise and got out of the car, then caught a taxi back to the hospital.
As she walked into the Cardiac Surgery Department, she heard everyone discussing Barbara’s surgery and the amazing skills of Star.
One of the doctors noticed Belinda and immediately said to her, “Dr. Wright! Where were you last night? Why didn’t you come?”
“I had some business out of town,” Belinda explained. “I even took the morning off.”
“No wonder! It’s a shame you couldn’t be here! You wouldn’t believe this, but…
Star herself operated on Barbara last night!”
“That’s right, Dr. Wright. What a pity you missed it. We all watched everything from the theater; it was a total aortic replacement, and Star did it so effortlessly. She is simply amazing! I’ve never seen a more efficient doctor in the operating room. Her hands were so steady, even when they were moving fast.”
“Well, what else can we expect? Star is known to be the top surgeon globally. She’s on a level above the rest.”
Belinda feigned surprise and interest at their chatter. “Is she really that remarkable?”
“Absolutely! Oh, you should have seen it with your own eyes. If we’re blessed with another chance to watch her work, you should definitely be there! Once you see her perform surgery, you’ll understand what we’re talking about.”

“Those hands of hers are meant for surgery! She is incredible!” The doctor spoke with utter admiration.
“I agree! Her hands moved on instinct, and they worked seamlessly with her genius mind. Truly remarkable.”
Belinda just smiled. “Well, you’ve certainly piqued my curiosity now. I hope I get the opportunity to see Star perform surgery next time.”
“Oh, I’m sure it will be an experience you will never forget!”
Just then, Caiden suddenly walked into the office.
Turner was trailing behind him, his face red with indignation.
The room fell silent upon their entrance.
It was Turner who broke the silence, and his tone was nothing short of aggressive. “What are you saying, Caiden? You do realize that I’m Barbara’s attending physician, right? Do you really expect me to just hand over her follow-up treatments to Belinda?”
