StartNovelChapter 1522: Just before exiting, she nodded at Elwood.
Elwood responded with a smile.
From the sidelines, Zaria observed this silent exchange with a growing sense of unease.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElwood and Belinda seemed to get along quite well.
This was not good news for her.
And worse, the rest of the family seemed increasingly fond of Belinda. That was not something she wanted to see.
No sooner had Belinda stepped out than Tasha Brown, the middle-aged woman standing beside Tamara, stepped forward, gently placing a hand on Tamara's shoulder in a placating gesture.
"Tamara, please calm down. I'm sure Nalani and Elwood didn't mean to offend you. It's just that... you said those things in front of Dr. Wright. If she takes offense and doesn't treat Barbara properly, that will only cause us trouble, right? Nalani was probably just worried about that." Tamara's features softened for a moment, but her pride quickly took hold again. Her voice sharpened. "She wouldn't dare! She's just a doctor. How dare she hold a grudge against me?" Nalani's face tightened. "Dr. Wright is a professional. She wouldn't compromise a patient's care over personal offense. Don't say things like that easily if you don't know the situation well!"

Flustered, Tasha quickly said, "I'm sorry, Nalani. I misspoke. I only meant-” "Why are you apologizing?" Tamara cut her off sharply, turning on her with a scowl.
She then shot Nalani a pointed look. "Tasha was just defending you and Elwood. Why are you treating her like this?" Nalani's voice trembled with restrained indignation. "Standing up by slandering someone who's saving Barbara's life? That is not appropriate at all.”
Tasha stammered quickly, "You're right. It's all my fault, I should never have said what did. Tamara, Nalani, don't be upset." Nalani and Tamara both fell silent.
Watching the scene unfold, Zaria arched an eyebrow. The content is on E.com!
Belinda was really something, Zaria thought.
