Chapter 863



“Okay, I understand,” Holley said immediately, her head nodding in firm agreement.

Kylee remained silent, but the tension in her shoulders spoke volumes. She had taken Baker’s warning to heart. She would have to tread more carefully from now on.

On her way back to the hospital, Belinda’s phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Darwin’s name. She quickly answered the call.

“Ms. Wright, I just got back from an overseas trip and heard about what happened,” Darwin said. He paused briefly, the line heavy with unspoken guilt. Then, with a sigh, he added, “I’m really sorry…”

Darwin still couldn’t wrap his head around how things had escalated like that. That reckless woman, Minna, had crossed an unforgivable line.

Belinda stayed silent. The events that had unfolded left no room for her usual reassurances. She couldn’t simply say, “It’s fine.” Because this time, Minna had hurt Lucas. That was something she could not tolerate.

Breaking the silence, Darwin asked hesitantly, “Would it be alright if I went to the hospital to visit Mr. Clark?”

Belinda exhaled slowly, her voice measured.

“I’ll have to ask Lucas that first.”

“Of course. No rush. I’ll wait for the reply,” Darwin replied.

“Okay.” With that, Belinda ended the call and slipped the phone back into her bag.

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs．c𝗈𝗺, a world of tales When she arrived at the hospital and entered Lucas’ ward, she heard Gordon reporting the investigation results to Lucas.

“We have completed the investigation on Verena and Kylee…”

The moment Belinda stepped into the room, Gordon straightened up and nodded respectfully to greet her.

Belinda’s gaze swept over him briefly.

“You can continue,” she said.

Gordon resumed his report.

“Kylee’s communication records and bank transactions came up clean, nothing out of the ordinary. We reviewed surveillance footage from outside the Wright family’s properties and locations under Kylee’s name around the time Minna escaped. There was no sign of suspicious activity. During that period, Kylee was either at home or in the hospital. She didn’t visit any other locations or meet anyone unusual. Based on our findings so far, Kylee doesn’t appear to be involved in the matter.”

Belinda let out a small breath she didn’t realize she had been holding as relief washed over her. If Kylee wasn’t connected to this, could it mean Holley was innocent? Maybe Holley hadn’t lied. That night, when Kylee called her, was it really just to warn Holley to stay away from the Wright family’s residence?

Belinda frowned, uncertainty gnawing at her.

“What about Verena?” Lucas’ deep voice cut through Belinda’s thoughts.
