Chapter 1450:


    Lucas didn’t argue. He fell quiet for a moment, thoughtful. Then, he said, “Since Nni and Barbara havee all the way to Owathe, I should pay them a visit. I’ll speak with Harold about this tomorrow. He’ll help coordinate it.”


    “Alright,” Belinda said. “Oh, another thing—when you go see Barbara, avoid mentioning me to Nni, will you?”


    Lucas gave a resigned nod and smiled. “Okay. I won’t. I’ll let her make her own decision.”


    “Good.” Belinda smiled.


    “You continue with your work. I’m going to take a shower,” Lucas said.


    “Alright.”


    The next day.


    Turner and his team arrived early in the morning at Barbara’s hospital room.


    “Miss Dury, how are you feeling this morning? Any difort?” Turner asked, shing a smile that stretched a little too wide, his gaze fixed on Barbara.


    Barbara barely acknowledged him. Her eyes, cool and unreadable, slid past his face as if he were nothing more than a shadow on the wall. She looked away, her silence dismissive and her disinterest palpable.


    Turner’s smile faltered for just a fraction of a second. He quicklyposed himself.


    Since Barbara offered no reply, he turned toward Nni. “Mrs. Dury, how is your daughter today? Any signs of difort?”


    “None,” Nni answered calmly. “Everything appears normal.”


    “That is good to hear,” Turner said with a courteous nod. “When ites to matters of the heart, even the smallest sign must not be overlooked. If she feels anything unusual, please do not hesitate to call me immediately.”


    Nni gave a silent nod, offering no furtherment.


    ???????? ???????????????? ???? ????????????????????????


    After a slight pause, Turner said, “Mrs. Dury, have you made a decision about who will be Miss Dury’s attending physician?”


    Nni repeated the same answer she had given Belinda the day before. “Once thetest test resultse in, I will expect both you and Dr. Wright to propose your respective treatment ns. After that, I will make my choice.”


    For a moment, Turner froze. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. Despite everything he had said earlier, Nni still hadn’t decided whom to choose.


    She wanted both him and Belinda to present treatment ns.


    It was infuriating.


    He, the chief physician and head of the Cardiac Surgery Department, was being pitted against an attending physician.


    This was outrageous!


    “Very well,” Turner said, suppressing the irritation curling in his chest. “I will wait for Miss Dury’stest results before proceeding further.”


    Without waiting for a response, he turned to his team. “Let’s go.”


    The team followed him out of Barbara’s room in silence, the heavy door clicking shut behind them.
