Chapter 645



Belinda shifted her focus to the culprit of this whole mess.

Glaring at Minna, she rose from the bench and slowly approached her.

She exuded an intimidating aura now.

Seeing Belinda like this, Minna was taken aback.

Her breath hitched, and she instinctively took a step back. Minna felt an overwhelming pressure from Belinda, something she had only ever experienced in the presence of Lucas.

“What are you doing?” Minna stammered, her face twisting with unease.

Belinda stopped right in front of Minna. Then, without saying a word, she delivered a resounding slap across Minna’s face.

The sharp sound seemed to reverberate through the hallway.

Minna staggered back from the force of the impact. If she hadn’t hit the wall behind her, she would have surely fallen straight to the floor.

The slap had been so loud that it immediately drew the attention of everyone in the hallway.

They stared at Belinda in shock, and those nearest to her backed away on reflex.

Belinda truly looked terrifying now.

Minna cupped her swelling cheek and stared at Belinda in disbelief.

Her ear was still ringing, a testament to the force Belinda had used.

“You—” Minna began, only to be sharply cut off by Belinda.

“Get out!” Belinda said coldly.

Minna gritted her teeth, her chest heaving as she glared daggers at Belinda.

When Minna didn’t move, Belinda stepped forward, drawing closer.

Startled into a panic, Minna quickly moved away from Belinda.

She wasn’t familiar with this side of Belinda, and Belinda truly scared her now. Still, she mustered all the courage she had left and spat out, “Just you wait!” Then, she quickly ran away.

Belinda’s palm was still tingling from the slap.

After that slap, the frustration in her chest finally eased a little.

Soon, the results of the CT scan were out. The doctor brought them over to Belinda and Darwin.

“There is a minor fracture in the right scapula. I recommend conservative treatment with physical therapy. Please arrange for the patient’s admission. The patient should stay overnight for further observation.”

“Thank you, doctor,” Belinda said before leaving to handle the necessary paperwork.

After that, she headed to Darwin’s hospital room.

She sat beside his bed and said, “Thank you so much for today, Mr. Lambert. If it weren’t for you, I might have…”

Darwin shook his head. “I should be the one apologizing,” he rasped. “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been in this mess in the first place. I’m actually relieved I shielded you earlier. I can’t even imagine what might have happened otherwise.”
