Chapter 577



Even though the bodyguard had told him that Belinda wasn’t hurt, he was still beside himself with worry. He couldn’t think of anything else other than seeing Belinda right away.

His frantic heart only calmed down when he saw with his own eyes that she was fine.

Meanwhile, Belinda was rather uncomfortable with her ankle resting on Lucas’ lap. She tried to pull away, saying, “I can press the ice pack myself.”

“Don’t move,” Lucas said, pinning her lower leg in place.

After a brief pause, he added, “Don’t worry; I’ll leave right after doing this.”

That made Belinda glance over at his face, but she refrained from saying anything.

Neither of them had any idea how much time had passed when Lucas finally set Belinda’s leg down. The ice pack had done its job, and the swelling had all but gone.

Just then, the door to the emergency room flew open.

Belinda jumped to her feet, eager to speak to the doctor.

“Slow down,” Lucas cautioned as he reached out to hold her arm and support her toward the door.

The doctor nodded to acknowledge Belinda. “The patient has fractures in the left rib and left leg, and her left arm is dislocated. Luckily, she sustained no damage to her internal organs. We’ve already treated her injuries.”

Belinda breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, doctor,” she said.

“You’re welcome. We’re only doing our jobs.” With that, the doctor left.

Soon after, Holley was wheeled out and taken to a private ward.

Lucas accompanied Belinda all the way to her mother’s hospital room. They hadn’t been there long when Kenia and Sarai arrived.

“How is your mother, Belinda? Is she out of danger now?” Kenia asked, visibly anxious as she hurried to Holley’s bedside.

“Don’t worry, Grandma,” Belinda reassured her. “My mother is out of danger. She has a few fractures, but nothing too serious.”

Kenia felt relieved after hearing that. At that moment, she noticed Lucas standing nearby.

“Kenia,” Lucas greeted her.

A mix of emotions crossed Kenia’s face. After seemingly debating something within herself, she asked, “Do you have a moment, Mr. Clark? I’d like to speak with you alone.”

“Of course.” Lucas nodded.

They exited the room and chose a quiet spot in the corridor to talk.
