Chapter 1112



Jazmine’s gaze was tinged with concern. “We just want you to be aware of what you’re stepping into. Reconciling with Lucas means facing countless challenges, even dangers. You know his status—there are plenty of women who would do anything to take your place, and just as many who would love to see you fall. You will face a lot of trouble.”

She hesitated, then sighed. “Think about it. Your occupational exposure during surgery, your altered blood test report—both are, in some way, connected to Lucas. That alone should tell you that being with him won’t be easy.”

Jazmine’s voice turned gentle yet firm. “Rowell and I… We’re worried about you. We don’t want you walking into something that could put you at risk. That’s why we need you to ask yourself—are you absolutely sure this is what you want?”

Rowell didn’t wait for Belinda to respond before adding, “Back when you were married to Lucas, to be blunt, no one paid much attention to you. You weren’t conventionally attractive at that time, and Lucas himself didn’t care for you. But things are different now. Now, you shine on your own. And Lucas is in love with you. That also means the challenges ahead will be far greater than before.”

His voice softened. “Belinda, we just want you to be safe. We don’t want your life to be an endless storm of troubles.”

Belinda felt a warmth spread in her chest.

She understood their concerns.

But…

“Rowell, Jazmine,” she said, her voice steady, “I’ve considered everything you’ve said. And I can tell you with absolute certainty—I love Lucas. I want to be with him. And I will be with him. No matter what challenges come our way, we’ll face them together.”

Every story starts at galn ovels ; com Her eyes held unwavering resolve—no hesitation, no doubt.

“I know choosing him means my life will never be ordinary again. And I’m ready for that.” Belinda smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m not a child—I can take care of myself. And besides, Lucas will protect me, too.”

Rowell and Jazmine exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with resignation. After a long silence, Rowell exhaled slowly. “We know better than anyone that once you’ve made up your mind, there’s no changing it. So, if this is truly what you want, all we can do is support you.”

He looked at Belinda. “But Belinda—listen to me. If you ever run into trouble, you have to tell us. Don’t keep things from us just because you’re afraid we’ll worry about you. Promise us that.”

Belinda nodded enthusiastically. “Alright, I promise. Thank you, Rowell, Jazmine. And don’t worry—I won’t hesitate to ask for help if I need it.” Jazmine sighed, half-exasperated, half-amused. “Oh, you!” She gave Belinda a knowing look. “Are you happy now?”

“Of course, I am!” Belinda replied, her smile lighting up her face. Her smile was genuine.

Seeing Belinda like this, Jazmine couldn’t help but feel her own mood lift. She smiled and nodded. “Good. As long as you’re happy.”

After a brief pause, something seemed to cross Jazmine’s mind. “Oh, by the way—have you contacted Mr. Baldwin?”

Belinda replied, “Don’t worry; I already did. He said the tickets will go on sale in the next few days.”

Jazmine let out a small sigh of relief. “That’s good. This whole thing has been dragged out for far too long. Honestly, if it weren’t for your reputation as Moon, your talent, and the fact that Mr. Baldwin’s wife adores your piano playing, they wouldn’t have been this patient.”

Belinda pouted. “The incident was not something I could control. I didn’t want things to go this way either.”
