Chapter 1739:
This time, Belinda had rescued Carola, becoming not only her savior but also a hero to the entire Happer family.
With the Happers’ strong sense of duty, they would surely go to great lengths to show their gratitude to Belinda.
This would only strengthen Belinda’s connection to Carola and the Happer family.
And Carola had just mentioned Belinda’s name with an affectionate tone.
How could Kylee not feel a surge of panic?
Since Belinda had joined the Wright family at seventeen, Carola had always addressed Belinda with indifference.
But now, after this incident, everything had changed.
Kylee gritted her teeth, frustration boiling within her.
Damn it! Were family ties really stronger than anything?
At that critical moment, Belinda had risked everything to save Carola.
Just as Kylee was beginning to reveal her identity as Elwood’s daughter, Belinda’s bond with Carola had grown stronger.
For Kylee, this was the worst possible news.
Originally, Belinda had arranged for Darlene to take over the surgery scheduled for the following morning.
Darlene had agreed and received all the necessary medical records of the patient from Belinda.
However, when the patient was informed of the change, they refused, insisting they would wait for Belinda’s return before getting the surgery.
Fortunately, the patient’s condition was stable, so postponing the surgery for a day or two posed no serious risks.
Belinda consulted with the patient, proposing that they wait for her hand’s CT scan results to determine whether she should perform the operation or if Darlene should take over.

The patient agreed to this plan.
Belinda, Lucas, and Bethany then left the Grand Plains General Hospital. After driving Bethany to her residence, Lucas and Belinda headed back to their home.
That afternoon, Lucas opted to work from home instead of going to the office. He had Gordon deliver the necessary documents to the house, where he settled at his desk to focus.
Every so often, he glanced up to check on Belinda, who was resting on the sofa nearby.
Seeing her safe and unharmed brought him a quiet sense of reassurance. Though he hadn’t witnessed the day’s events firsthand, the mere thought of them left him unsettled.
While resting, Belinda texted Jazmine to inform her about her hand injury and explain that she might need to pause her piano practice for a few days.
Concerned, Jazmine called her immediately.
Belinda answered the call. “Hello, Jazmine.”
