Chapter 1544: Tamara quickly stepped in, her voice sharp and final. "No one! She has nothing to do with you! Elwood, stop thinking about that name." "No!" Elwood's voice cracked with desperation. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Zaria's. "Tell me! Who is she?" The mention of Carola's nhung in the air like a thunderclap.

Zaria recoiled, her body trembling. She swallowed hard and stammered, "I-I don't know, Dad... I've only met Carola twice. We're not close. All I know is that she's Mr. Baker Wright's wife." Elwood's face drained of color. He inhaled shakily, each breath weighted with disbelief. "Wife? Carola... She's married? Ahh—my head... It hurts so much!” He clutched his head, and his features twisted in agony again.
"What's happening to him?" Harold, alarmed by the sight, asked, worried.
"It's an old ailment. These headaches occur now and then," Tamara explained.
Belinda rose from her chair, decisive. “Letmassage his head. It might help ease the pain." Tamara nodded quickly, hope flashing in her eyes. "Yes, please. Go ahead." Belinda stepped to Elwood's side and gently pulled his hands away from his head. She then pressed her fingers to his temples, starting to massage.
Though Elwood's eyes stayed shut, his expression slowly began to soften.
With a healer's focus, Belinda moved from his temples to the crown of his head, working as if untangling knots in invisible thread.
Ten minutes slipped by, and gradually, color returned to Elwood's face. His eyes blinked open. "I feel alright now. The headache's gone. Thank you, Dr. Wright." Find your imagination at galn ovels; con Belinda stepped back, her expression composed but serious. "Mr. Wright, this is the second tI've seen your headaches strike, and this one hit harder than the last. You should go to our hospital and see a neurologist. You need to find the root of this." However, as soon as Belinda finished speaking, Tamara immediately interjected, "That won't be necessary!" The moment Tamara spoke, every head turned in her direction.
Tamara realized, a beat too late, that her reaction had been a touch too tic. Caught be guard, she hesitated briefly before composing herself and offering an explanation.
"Oh, it's just that Elwood has fmet struggled with headaches for quite stime. He's already undergone several examinations at the hospital."
Belinda remained calm, her voice steady and professional. “Headaches, especially chronic ones, should never m be taken lightly. Even though the Grand Plains General Hospital may be more widely known for its Cardiac Surgery Department, its Neurology team comprises several highly respected experts. Since Mr. Wright is now in Owathe, it might be wise for him to go and have a check-up."
