Chapter 1073



Although Belinda had anticipated another sleepless night, she fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.

In Kylee’s room, Kylee dialed Verena’s number.

“You’ve heard about Belinda’s situation, haven’t you?” Kylee inquired.

“I have.” On the other end, Verena’s voice held a hint of a smile.

Kylee suddenly asked, “You… You didn’t do anything about it, right?”

After Kylee learned of Belinda’s HIV diagnosis, her initial excitement shifted to curiosity. Could Verena be involved?

That was why she had rushed to ask Verena about the matter.

Verena raised an eyebrow. “Are you asking if I tampered with Belinda’s test results?”

Before Kylee could reply, Verena answered, “I didn’t.”

Kylee’s smile returned swiftly.

If Verena hadn’t done anything, then Belinda’s diagnosis was genuine.

This was perfect!

“Belinda got what she deserved!” Kylee exclaimed, but then a thought struck her. “But if Belinda is infected, doesn’t that mean Lucas is at higher risk of infection too?”

Mixed feelings of pity and joy conflicted within her.

She now only felt hatred for Lucas.

Nore chatpers 𝖌Ɐ𝗅𝗇𝗈ν𝖊𝗅𝘀.c0n That man was a monster!

Verena’s face tensed at Kylee’s words.

This was the last thing she wanted to think about.

Taking a deep breath, she declared, “Even if he is infected, I won’t abandon him.” Yet, inwardly, she thought that if he was really infected, she would avoid any intimate contact with him.

Her love for him persisted. And she was determined to become Mrs. Clark.

Kylee scoffed coldly, “Well, good luck with that.”

Even now, Kylee couldn’t get a read on Verena. She was always so calm and composed. And since they were speaking over the phone, Kylee couldn’t see her face—couldn’t see if there was something odd about her reaction.

But doubt about Verena had begun to creep into Kylee’s heart.

Someday, she vowed, she would uncover the truth behind her kidnapping.

Convinced that Belinda’s diagnosis was authentic and not a manipulation by Verena, Kylee ended the call.

The following day…}

Belinda and Lucas went to the Grand Plains General Hospital.

As the ICU visiting hours commenced, they donned protective gear and entered Kenia’s private suite in the SVIP section of the ICU.

They arrived just as Kenia was waking up.

As soon as Kenia saw Belinda, her eyes welled with tears.

“Belinda…”

Belinda rushed to her side, her voice soft. “Grandma, don’t cry. Look, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. How are you feeling now?”

“How can I not worry? How could this happen…” Kenia’s voice trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks.
