Chapter 581



Belinda gently placed her mother’s hand under the blanket and tucked her in. “Alright, no more talking about that topic. You need to rest now.”

“Okay.” Holley nodded and closed her eyes to rest.

Soon, she drifted into sleep, her energy completely spent from the conversation.

Belinda suggested that Kenia and Sarai should go home, as she planned to stay and watch over Holley through the night.

Kenia frowned, concerned. “Belinda, you’re injured, too. Perhaps you should consider hiring a caretaker to look after your mother. Besides, you have your job to think about.”

“I’ll arrange for a caretaker later. The next few days are crucial, and I’d feel better being here myself. I just have a minor ankle sprain. I’ll apply some spray to it later. Please, don’t worry about me. I’ll take some time off work,” Belinda said.

With Belinda adamant, Kenia decided not to push further. She and Sarai lingered in the hospital room for over an hour before departing.

During this time, while Holley slept, Belinda sat by her side, vigilantly keeping watch.

Soon after Kenia and Sarai had left, there was a knock on the door. Johnson and Bethany entered, carrying various items.

Seeing them, Belinda was surprised. “What brings you here?”

Bethany rolled her eyes playfully. “You didn’t even tell us about the car accident. Do you still consider us friends?”

Johnson also gave Belinda a stern look. It had been Lucas who had informed him of Belinda’s car accident.

Belinda chuckled. “I just haven’t had a chance to tell you.”

Bethany looked at the peacefully sleeping Holley and sighed. “Thankfully, Holley’s injuries aren’t too severe.”

“Yes.” Belinda nodded, still feeling a residual shiver of fear because of the incident.

Johnson looked at Holley and then turned to Belinda with a serious expression. “Belinda, can we step outside for a moment? I need to discuss something important with you.”

Confused, Belinda glanced at the still sleeping Holley and nodded. She followed Johnson outside the room.

Then, she inquired, “What do you want to talk about, Johnson?”

“Could you recount the incident in detail?” Johnson asked.

Belinda pressed her lips together thoughtfully for a moment and began her detailed recount of the incident.

“It really sounds like the situation was quite urgent at the time,” Bethany remarked after hearing the story.

Belinda nodded. “Yes! If it weren’t for my mother, I’d be the one in the hospital bed right now.”
