Belinda parted her lips to retort but hesitated.
She then shot him a fierce glare. “You're just trying to rileup.”
Lucas shrugged nonchalantly, deliberately saying, “I'm simply stating the truth. After all, it's only natural for
someone like you to feel apprehensive about being irresistibly drawn toward me.”
Belinda found his audacity so amusing that she nearly laughed out loud. “Fine! Ill let you teachhow to swim.
But not today. We'll start the day after tomorrow!”
“Deal,” Lucas replied with an enthusiastic smile and a nod of agreement.
Having made their plans clear, Lucas didn’t linger any longer. After placing the ice pack down on the table with

The following day.
As Belinda entered her office, she saw Kylee.
In a casual tone, she inquired, “Is Braden’s surgery scheduled for tomorrow?”
When Belinda questioned Kylee about the surgery, Kylee responded, “No, Braden’s operation has been
postponed until next week.”
Belinda immediately furrowed her brows in confusion. “What caused the rescheduling?” she asked, her curiosity
piqued.
Kylee chuckled derisively, a hint of disdain in her voice. “Naturally, it's because my mentor is busy. He has
numerous surgeries lined up, with three scheduled for tomorrow. So, inevitably, Braden’s operation had to be
postponed.”
With that, Kylee flashed a smile at Belinda, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Belinda, don’t assall physicians
are like you, idly waiting around.”
Had she been idle? That was far from the truth.
Belinda couldn’t help but scoff but refrained from firing back. Instead, she redirected the conversation, focusing
on Braden'’s situation. “Did you conduct a comprehensive examination for Braden?”
Kylee raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with irritation. “Of course. Do you even need to ask that?”
Belinda persisted, undeterred by Kylee’s attitude. “Braden is over seventy and already has spre-existing
conditions. Therefore, it's essential to ensure everything is meticulously examined to avoid overlooking anything.

“Enough!” Kylee cut her off with a dismissive wave of her hand before Belinda could finish her thought. “Belinda,
my mentor is one of the best cardiac surgeons around! His expertise far surpasses yours. There's no need for
you to lecture us. We know what we're doing. Besides, Braden is no longer your patient. His illness is no longer
your concern! You have no business meddling in his case. Okay? Why not focus on the few remaining patients
under your supervision instead?”
After delivering these cutting remarks with a huff of indignation, Kylee turned on her heel and walked away
before Belinda could respond.
Belinda stood frozen for a moment, processing the encounter.
At that moment, a nurse approached her and gently said, “Dr. Wright, you should stop worrying about the
patient in bed 44. He is now under Dr. Ortiz’s care. If you continue to interfere, not only will he not appreciate it,
but others might also start gossiping behind your back.”
Belinda nodded slightly but furrowed her brows as she explained earnestly, “I understand, but Braden was
originally my patient. He's elderly, and his surgery had been set for tomorrow, but now that it's been postponed,
Belinda couldn’t shake her concern that something might go awry.
