Chapter 506



“I am a police officer,” the officer outside the room said, showing his badge.

Lucas’ expression shifted in an instant.

“Why are the police here? Did something happen to Belinda?” he asked.

The officer asked, “What is your relationship to Ms. Wright?”

“I’m her husband!” Lucas stated without a second thought.

The officer shot him a skeptical look before opening the door.

Seeing Belinda awake, he asked her, “Ms. Wright, is this man your husband?”

Belinda turned her head and gave Lucas a detached look, his anxious form lingering outside the door.

She quickly looked away, her voice hoarse as she said, “I don’t know him. Officer, please don’t let anyone I don’t know into my room.”

After saying this, Belinda quickly pulled the blanket over her head.

“Alright, don’t worry.” With that, the police officer closed the hospital room door.

After shutting the door, the officer turned to Lucas and said, “Sorry, sir, but you can’t go in.”

Lucas’ expression turned serious. During the brief moment the door was open, he had caught a glimpse of Belinda. Her face was pale, and there appeared to be a white bandage on her neck. Was that his imagination, or…

Every story starts at galn ovels ; com Lucas looked at the officer and said in a deep voice, “Fine, I won’t go in, but you need to tell me what happened to Belinda. Is she injured or something?”

The officer shook his head and responded, “Sorry, sir, but I can’t disclose any details.”

Lucas’ expression grew dark in an instant. He pulled out his phone and dialed Gordon.

As soon as Gordon answered, Lucas said, “Find out immediately what happened to Belinda tonight!”

“Yes,” Gordon replied promptly.

After ending the call, Lucas paced restlessly. After a moment of thought, he headed toward the doctor’s office.

He quickly located Belinda’s attending physician.

“Mr. Clark!” The doctor was surprised upon seeing Lucas.

“I need to know how Belinda is doing. Is she hurt?” Lucas said directly.

The doctor hesitated, clearly weighing what she could disclose. Finally, she said, “Ms. Wright inhaled a small amount of sedative. She may experience dizziness and nausea. Her neck has severe ligature marks, and the skin is broken and bleeding, but we’ve treated it.”

“She will be under observation tonight and can likely be discharged tomorrow if everything is stable.”

Lucas’ complexion turned pale.
