Chapter 464



At the Grand Plains General Hospital, in a VIP hospital room, As soon as Lucas arrived, Verena sat up in bed. “Lucas, you’re here,” she said, smiling.

Lucas approached her bed, gazing down at Verena.

He parted his lips slightly as he asked, “Did you tell Belinda that I said I would marry you whenever you wanted?”

Verena’s expression stiffened in an instant.

She had never imagined that Belinda would tell Lucas what she had said!

She had only said that to Belinda because she believed Belinda wouldn’t mention it to Lucas.

But to her shock…

Verena’s expression was immediately filled with anxiety.

Ryan, standing off to the side, remained silent, too scared to say a word.

After all, he had been the one to tell Belinda about that in the first place.

The moment Lucas saw Verena’s reaction, he instantly understood everything.

His expression turned dark, and it was clear he was very angry.

“Verena, you know how much I despise it when people go behind my back, right?” Lucas’ voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.

Verena bit her lip, her fingers trembling with nervousness as she tried to explain, “Lucas, I know I shouldn’t have said that to Belinda.

I was just feeling anxious at the time.

I saw you with her in the hospital room that day, and I couldn’t help but feel a mix of jealousy and pain.

I was afraid that if you two got back together, I would lose everything.

So, I acted impulsively.”

Upon hearing Verena’s explanation, Lucas couldn’t hide his growing impatience, coupled with a slight sense of disgust.

He said, “Verena, whom I choose to be with is my business, and no one else has the right to meddle in it.”

He paused briefly, his eyes turning even colder. “You should know that you can’t do something like this ever again.”

Without giving Verena a chance to reply, Lucas turned on his heel and walked away.

Verena was startled by his sharp words and quickly called out to him, “Lucas, Lucas! Please, just listen to me…”

But Lucas didn’t stop at all; he continued walking without hesitation, quickly disappearing from the room.

Verena’s face drained of color.

It felt as though all her strength had evaporated, and she sank onto the bed in defeat.
