NovelReadingChapter 77:
Belinda turned to Baker, pressing for an answer, saying, “Dad, what were you about to say toearlier?”
With Lucas in the room, Baker hesitated to voice his original thoughts.
However, a sudden spark of resolution ignited in his eyes as he thought of something, and he addressed Belinda
with a note of sternness. “Tell me, why would you say those things in front of your colleagues at the hospital?”
“Those things?” Belinda’s lips curled into an amused smile. She responded with a calm expression, “Dad, are you
talking about the tyou took Kylee to meet Mr. Rodgers at the Grand Plains General, hoping he'd help secure
her a permanent position? What's the issue withsaying that? Isn't it the truth? Or are you implying you never
did such a thing?” Her voice shifted to a tone of feigned innocence.
Baker was momentarily speechless, taken aback by Belinda’s direct challenge. Kylee, hearing the conversation,
felt a wave of anger wash over her. How would Lucas perceive her after hearing such revelations about her?

not be a permanent staff member yet at the Grand Plains General Hospital, but it’s only a matter of tbefore
she becomes one! She was a top student throughout university, unlike you, who just scraped through your
exams. You should be thankful that your connections even got you a place at the Grand Plains General. Without
them, how could someone with your skills have gotten into that hospital?”
As Baker's temper flared, his voice rose, his irritation palpable. He completely forgot that Lucas was still present
and listening.
Lucas observed this family squabble quietly, giving Belinda a meaningful look that conveyed a mix of sympathy
and understanding. He was well aware that the Grand Plains General Hospital didn’t just hand out positions
based on connections. Its hiring standards were strict, and genuine skills were essential for securing a role there.
It seemed Baker might not fully grasp the extent of Belinda’s skills.
Belinda gave a slight shrug, her smile faint. “Is that so? Yet, here | am, a permanent doctor at the Grand Plains
General Hospital, while Kylee remains on temporary status.”

Lucas couldn’t help but wear an amused expression after hearing Belinda’s bold yet victorious declaration. It was
a complete turnaround from her usual demeanor. He knew that Belinda had always looked up to Kylee, treating
her almost reverently as the ideal sister. What had changed to make her treat Kylee so differently now?
Baker was clearly rattled by Belinda’s assertion; his complexion turned red as anger surged through him. He
opened his mouth to retort when Belinda cut in, “Hey, Dad, maybe you should calm down a little. My husband is
still here, watching.”
This gentle yet pointed reminder caused Baker to choke on his words, unable to find anything to reply. His
expression changed rapidly, reflecting a storm of emotions.
