His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius
âYour ribs and left leg are fractured. The pain is normal; try to bear with it,â Belinda said.
âOkay.â Holley nodded.
Her voice tinged with concern, she asked, âBelinda, are you alright? Are you hurt?â
Belinda replied gently, âDonât worry; Iâm fine.â
âThatâs good,â Holley murmured, managing a weak smile despite her weakened state.
Seeing Holley conscious, Kenia felt a wave of relief wash over her. She sighed softly, her expression still visibly shaken. âYou two really scared me.â
âIâm sorry, Mom, for worrying you,â Holley apologized. âIt all happened so suddenly. I saw the car heading straight for Belinda and didnât have time to think. All I knew was that I couldnât let anything happen to her. So I acted without considering my own safety.â
Kenia, moved by emotion, responded, âOf course, any mother would react the same way. When a parent sees their child in danger, their first instinct is to protect their child.â
Belindaâs eyes flickered when she heard that.
In that critical moment, Holley had not hesitated to push her out of harmâs way. Otherwise, she might have been the one lying in the hospital bed now.
Reflecting on that perilous moment, Belinda felt a mix of emotions.
gⱯlnÏνð®ðsâ¤com holds stories for every mood âBelindaâ¦â Holley called out softly.
Belinda looked at her. âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?â
Holley shook her head slightly. âNo, I just wanted to ask if youâd be willing to forgive meâ¦â
âYes, Belinda, please forgive Holley. She genuinely cares for you. Just consider this car accidentâshe didnât even hesitate to risk her life for you. Iâm sure she didnât mean to hurt you before,â Sarai said swiftly.
Kenia remained silent, but her gaze on Belinda was telling, filled with hope that Belinda would forgive Holley. After all, Holley and Belinda were mother and daughter.
Belinda turned to Holley. âIâm not angry with you anymore. I forgive you.â
âReally?â Holleyâs eyes lit up, surprised and hopeful.
âYes.â Belinda nodded slightly.
In that moment, Belinda knew she could only agree to forgive Holley. Moreover, she believed that instincts never lied. Holley had acted instinctively to save her, a clear testament to her deep care for her.
So⦠It was time for her to forgive Holley and forget about the past. After all, Holley was still her mother. How long could she possibly hold a grudge against her?
âThank you, Belinda, for forgiving me! I promise, nothing like that will happen again. From now on, Iâll be more cautious with my words and actions,â Holley said, her voice tinged with emotion, her eyes brimming with tears as she clutched Belindaâs hand.
