Chapter 1106



When Carola heard that, her expression hardened, her brows knitting together.

Carola spoke with a grave expression. “You’ve been infected with HIV, and so has Belinda. You both—”

Before Carola could finish her sentence, Kylee cut her off with a sharp, hoarse cry, her face contorted with desperation. “No! Belinda isn’t infected! Someone tampered with her blood test results!”

Her breath came in ragged gasps as she forced the words out. “Her results were actually negative! Negative!”

“What?” Carola blinked, momentarily stunned, her mind struggling to process this new revelation.

Kylee bit down hard on her lower lip, her fingers curling into fists. “Now the entire Grand Plains General Hospital knows about it! The one who altered her blood test results was none other than the head of the lab department.” Earlier, when Verena had first informed her of the matter, Kylee had clung to the faint hope that it wasn’t true.

But when the person she had bribed at the Grand Plains General Hospital sent her a screenshot of the email confirming the tampering, her last shred of hope was obliterated.

Why? Why should she be the only one condemned to suffer?

Why was Belinda fine?

This was so unfair!

Carola remained silent, but deep inside, she felt an unexpected sense of relief wash over her.

The guilt she had been carrying these past few days finally loosened its grip on her chest.

Though she had never spoken of it, she had felt burdened knowing that Belinda’s supposed infection was tied to her own daughter’s actions.

Now that she knew Belinda was not infected, it was as if an invisible weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Taking a steadying breath, she turned to Kylee with a stern gaze. “Kylee, this matter ends now. Whatever happened between you and Belinda—it’s over. Stay away from her from now on, and let go of any thoughts of revenge. Do you understand?”

Kylee stared at Carola in disbelief, as if she had just uttered something completely incomprehensible. “Mom! I was the one infected! Because of Belinda! And you’re telling me to just drop the matter?”

Her voice cracked with emotion, rising into a near-hysterical pitch. “What about me? What about my suffering?”

Carola’s expression darkened, her gaze turning even colder. “If you hadn’t targeted Belinda first, causing her to be exposed to risks at work, do you think Lucas would have retaliated against you?”

Kylee’s blood boiled with fury when she heard that.

She sprang up from the sofa, her breath coming in short, furious bursts. “Are you even my mother? How can you take Belinda’s side over mine?”

Carola’s eyes bore into Kylee’s, her voice unwavering. “Do you truly believe that indulging your every whim, allowing you to act without consequence, is what’s best for you? That is what has truly harmed you, Kylee.”

She exhaled slowly, shaking her head in disappointment. “A person should have at least a basic sense of right and wrong. In this situation with Belinda, you—”

“Enough! Stop talking!” Kylee screamed, trembling with rage.

She was barely holding herself together, her hands clenched tightly in fury.
