Chapter 759



Lucas briefly contemplated her words before responding with conviction, “I’ve already dispatched personnel to closely monitor Kylee. If she exhibits any peculiar behavior, I’ll be alerted.”

Belinda nodded once more, though her frown deepened. After a moment’s contemplation, she said, “Do you think Minna might approach Macie?”

“She won’t,” Lucas responded without hesitation, his tone firm. “If she had merely fled, she might have sought refuge with Macie or Rhys. But after what she did to Moshe, the Burke family will stop at nothing to locate her.”

He paused for a moment before adding gravely, “The Burke family members are aware of Minna’s close bond with Macie; Minna wouldn’t take the risk to see Macie. That said, Minna is unpredictable. She might act contrary to our expectations and secretly hide at Macie’s residence—it’s not out of the question. Thus, I’ve also assigned personnel to keep tabs on Macie and Rhys.”

Belinda believed Lucas had a point.

Lucas had a serious expression as he leaned closer to Belinda. “Exercise caution from now on and try not to go out alone.”

Belinda responded, “I will be cautious.”

She then gazed up at Lucas as she asked, “Did Minna endure much suffering while living with the Burke family?”

Otherwise, when Minna had escaped from the Burke family, she wouldn’t have resorted to such brutal and violent methods against Moshe.

Her actions suggested she had endured unspeakable abuse to seek such extreme revenge.

Lucas didn’t sugarcoat the truth and answered directly, “Yes, Moshe tormented Minna almost every day. He even put a dog collar on her, keeping her locked away like some kind of animal. According to him, there wasn’t a single part of Minna’s body that escaped his cruelty.”

Lucas met her gaze steadily, his voice unwavering as he continued, “I had a hand in it, too. I asked Moshe to torment her. In addition to Moshe’s own enjoyment of torturous methods, I instructed him to double her suffering.”

He stopped to gauge her reaction. He wasn’t sure if she would be angry with him because of this, but he had no intention of hiding the truth.

Belinda blinked, momentarily taken aback by Lucas’ confession.

But clarity dawned quickly; she knew he had done it all for her. Her voice steady, Belinda said, “I don’t feel sorry for Minna. On the contrary, I believe she brought this upon herself.”

There was no sympathy in her tone. No matter how much Minna had suffered, she had only herself to blame.

Lucas allowed himself a small smile, relieved that Belinda didn’t see him as heartless.

They then let the subject drop.

After the meal, Lucas drove Belinda back to the Grand Plains General Hospital.

The incident barely lingered in Belinda’s thoughts as she refocused on her work.

That afternoon, however, her phone rang unexpectedly. Darwin’s voice greeted her on the other end of the line.

“Ms. Wright, are you free this evening? Let’s have dinner together. I want to give you something,” Darwin said.

“What is it?” Belinda asked, curiosity piqued.
