His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 731

Chapter 731:

Lucas’ expression remained cold, his thoughts drifting to the three red welts he had seen on Belinda’s neck. The

sight of them had unsettled him deeply, his brows furrowing in displeasure. He could only hope the marks

wouldn't leave permanent scars.

He had already instructed Gordon the previous night to find the world’s most effective scar-removal ointment.

Belinda’s neck had to heal perfectly.

At the Cardiac Surgery Department's director's office, a sharp knock broke the silence in Turner's office.

“Cin,” Turner called out, glancing up from his desk.

The door creaked open, and a middle-aged woman, likely in her early forties, stepped inside.

Kylee was the first to speak. “Can we help you?” she asked.

The woman approached the desk and settled into the chair across from Turner. Her expression was both anxious

and determined. “Dr. Ortiz, hello. I'm a relative of the patient in bed 44. My father’s attending physician is Dr.

Wright, but I'd like to request a transfer under your care.”

Turner exchanged a quick glance with Kylee, both of their brows knitting slightly.

“Ah, so your father is Dr. Wright's patient,” Turner said. He paused briefly before adding, “Since your father is

under Dr. Wright's care, it’s best to let her handle the treatment. She is a skilled physician.”

The middle-aged woman's expression soured, her lips curling in thinly veiled disdain. “Her skills are nothing

compared to yours, Dr. Ortiz! She's far inferior.” Her tone softened as desperation seeped into her words.

“Please, Dr. Ortiz, I'm begging you. Allow my father to be transferred under your care.”

“There's truly no way around this,” Turner declared, his voice tinged with frustration. “As the director of the

department, how could I possibly justify appropriating a patient from one of my own physicians? If news were to

get out, I'd becthe subject of ridicule.” He exhaled sharply, looking resigned.

The middle-aged woman, her eyes flashing with determination, immediately retorted, “But wasn’t it you who

approached Toby's family and inquired if they would consider transferring him to your care? If he could be

transferred so easily, why can’t my father?”

Upon hearing her words, Turner couldn't help but let out a profound sigh. “Ah, regarding that particular

situation... | deeply regret my actions back then. | acted impulsively, and | never anticipated it would lead to

such complications for Dr. Wright. Now, | truly can’t engage in something like that again.”

The middle-aged woman was relentless, her voice rising with urgency as she implored, “Dr. Ortiz, please make

one final exception. Just this one!”

At that moment, Kylee, standing beside Turner, felt compelled to speak up. “Dr. Ortiz, considering her sincerity

and desperation, could you possibly help her? I've heard that her father is about to undergo surgery soon. But

you know how it is with Dr. Wright's abilities... Her first surgery nearly failed. That's quite alarming. And the

patient is over seventy years old! The risks associated with surgery at this age are already higher compared to

younger patients. If you were to undertake her father’s operation, the probability of success would be

exceedingly high!”
