Chapter 1071



A wave of profound disappointment swept over him.

When had his cousin become someone like this?

Observing Kylee now, Mitchell felt as if he no longer recognized her. She seemed almost sinister.

Nevertheless, he remained silent and chose to overlook her smirk.

Kylee excused herself and returned to her room.

Once inside, she let out a scream and jumped around in excitement.

However, then, a sudden unease filled her mind.

She had been experiencing a low fever and intermittent muscle and joint pains for the past few days.

Was it merely a side effect of her medication or something more?

She reassured herself it must be because of the medication.

With that thought, she gently closed her eyes. She would be fine. She had to be.

At the Clark family mansion…

“Harold, please, tell me if Belinda is infected,” Norma said, her voice laden with anxiety.

Kane had arrived and broken the news that Belinda’s blood test was positive. Norma and Harold had refused to accept it, prompting Harold to call Lucas for confirmation.

After a heavy sigh, Harold confessed, “The result… is indeed positive.”

“This… This can’t be!” Norma’s eyes widened in disbelief, her complexion draining of color. “Harold, you… You must be joking, right?”

Harold met her gaze silently, his expression solemn.

Yet, Norma knew Harold would never joke about such a matter.

She found it impossible to accept the diagnosis.

At that moment, Kane, who had remained silent, spoke up. “Now that Belinda is confirmed to have HIV, shouldn’t Lucas distance himself from her?”

Norma frowned at his suggestion and quickly said, “Lucas can choose who he wants to be with. That’s his decision.”

Kane scoffed coldly. “Do you really want people to talk about the Clark family’s son having a wife with HIV?”

Norma felt as if she had been struck. Her face paled.

After a long pause, she drew a deep breath and declared, “So what? They might gossip behind our backs, but would they say that to our faces? Should we live our lives always affected by the opinions of others?”

A shadow crossed Kane’s face.

If Norma truly cared about public opinion, she wouldn’t have married a man over twenty years older than her. Not to mention, Harold had been married before and already had two children.

Reflecting on this, Kane couldn’t help but think of his mother.

How had she died? Who was responsible for her death?

When Kane thought about this, a mix of rage and bitterness surged within him.

He inhaled deeply and faced Harold. “Dad, what are your thoughts?”

“As long as Lucas is happy, that’s what truly matters,” Harold replied.

Kane’s brow furrowed in response.

Despite everything, Harold and Norma still didn’t oppose Lucas and Belinda’s relationship.
