Chapter 900



Belinda smiled back and responded, “It’s healing well. However, the injury was quite severe at the time. Although the sutures have been removed now, he still needs to exercise caution. Any sudden or strenuous movements could reopen the wound, and we definitely don’t want that.”

“Understood,” Harold replied, nodding appreciatively at her thoroughness.

After a moment of silence, Harold added sincerely, “Belinda, thank you for what you’ve done.”

Belinda shook her head gently, her smile unwavering.

“Harold, you don’t have to thank me. Lucas got injured because of me. Taking care of him is the least I could do. Besides, I wouldn’t be able to rest easy if I left him unattended.”

She prepared to depart.

“Well, I’m going to take my leave now.”

“Wait! Stay a little longer and have lunch with us before you go,” Harold said.

Belinda replied politely, “No, thank you, Harold. I just completed a night shift, and I’m feeling a bit fatigued. I really should head home to rest.”

Harold’s eyes sparkled with an idea as he suggested warmly, “Why not take a nap here? Your bed is still available! If you prefer not to share a room with Lucas, you can sleep in the guest room. We can have a meal together when you wake up.” Belinda hesitated.

Harold promptly made a decision for her sake.

“Alright then! It’s settled. You can go upstairs now.”

“Yeah, you can go and rest now,” Lucas said, not giving her an opportunity to refuse. He grasped her wrist gently but firmly and began leading her upstairs.

“Hey, Lucas! Let go of me…” Belinda protested and struggled as she came out of her daze.

Lucas winced slightly and said, “Ouch! Don’t move; the movement is pulling my wound.”

As soon as he said that, Belinda stopped moving. She was really worried about hurting his wound.

Thus, she allowed him to guide her upstairs.

Observing this interaction from downstairs, Harold couldn’t help but smile, his eyes brimming with satisfaction at their playful dynamic.

“Belinda,” he called out as Belinda walked away with Lucas beside her.

“Take your time to rest. No need to hurry.”

“Okay,” Belinda replied.

Instead of returning to Lucas’ room as expected, Belinda slept in the guest room. Lucas said nothing regarding this choice.

At the Wright family’s residence, in the study.

“What happened? Why did you summon me back so urgently?” Baker asked Kylee upon entering the study with an air of concern. At that moment, Kylee’s complexion was very pale, her anxiety evident on her face.
