His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 490:

“Thank you, Carola,” Belinda replied, pouring herself a cup of coffee before returning to her work.

This brief exchange sparked whispers among the other doctors, though none dared to ask anything openly.

Just then, one of the people wanting to flatter Kylee spoke up. “These snacks and drinks are all very expensive. We’re really lucky to enjoy this, thanks to Kylee!”

“Indeed! We owe this treat to Kylee and her mother,” another chimed in.

Kylee responded with a gracious smile. “I’m just glad you’re enjoying it.”

Carola didn’t linger, leaving after only sitting for a while.

Once Carola departed, Belinda gathered the medical records and exited the office.

At this moment, Kylee gave a knowing look to the person standing nearby. The person quickly seized the opportunity to ask, “Kylee, are you and Belinda half-sisters?”noveldrama

All heads turned as Kylee confirmed with a calm smile.

“Yes, Belinda and I have different mothers,” she said.

The person furrowed her brows. “Wait, didn’t you say you and Belinda have the same birthday? How can you have different mothers? Could it be…”

“Your father…” Realization spread like a ripple through the room.

Kylee’s cheeks flushed as she awkwardly replied, “Yes, my father was involved with Belinda’s mother while he was married to my mother.”

Gasping, the person asked, “Oh no, so Belinda’s mother was a mistress? Does that mean Belinda is an illegitimate daughter?”

The shock in the office was unmistakable, rippling through the gathered doctors. Many found it hard to believe that Belinda’s mother carried such a scandalous reputation and that Belinda was an illegitimate daughter.

“Please don’t use those words. Belinda and I are as much sisters as anyone,” Kylee said softly.

“You’re so kind! Despite everything, you treat her like a true sister,” the person remarked, surprised.

“Just don’t mention Belinda’s identity from now on, or you’ll upset me,” Kylee said, pretending to be annoyed.

The person sulked but chose to stay silent after the warning.

Still, whispers about Belinda’s mother and Belinda’s identity spread quickly, fueling gossip throughout the hospital. Soon, it became the hottest topic of conversation, and everyone was talking about it.

When Belinda heard the news, she was unfazed. She had already expected Kylee to use this as an opportunity to flaunt her status. She was indifferent to the gossip swirling around her. After all, she understood that no one could choose their family. So what if she was born out of wedlock?

Kylee, noticing Belinda’s apparent lack of reaction, frowned. She wondered if Belinda truly didn’t care or was merely pretending not to care. Nevertheless, spreading rumors about Belinda’s identity brought her a certain satisfaction.
