His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 486:

Mollie hesitated, her tone cautious as she asked, “Belinda, regarding you and Lucas… Is there something going on between you two?”

At Mollie’s question, a flicker of emotion crossed Belinda’s face.

Lucas’ confession suddenly echoed in Belinda’s mind.

Before Belinda could respond, Mollie spoke up. “You’ve heard about Lucas’ actions towards the Wagner family, right? His intense reaction… Don’t you feel something about that?”

Belinda pressed her lips together for a moment before answering, “No, my feelings for him remain unchanged.” Yet, Mollie could see that Belinda’s emotions were anything but calm. She chose not to push further and gently patted Belinda’s shoulder.

After dinner, Belinda retreated to her room. In the bathroom, under the warm cascade of water, she closed her eyes. Her heart was in disarray, and she struggled to find the words to describe how she felt.

Despite reminding herself not to be influenced by Lucas’ words or actions, it became increasingly difficult. His simple confession had sent her emotions into turmoil, and that frustrated her deeply. She had never expected such a confession from him, and his words caught her completely off guard, disturbing the peace she had tried so hard to restore.

She resented how profoundly Lucas could still affect her.

That night, Belinda tossed and turned, eventually falling asleep after two in the morning.

The following morning, she prepared herself and yawned as she descended the stairs for breakfast. After eating, she drove to the hospital.

It had been a while since she’d driven, and as she passed by the roadside, she noticed a familiar blue luxury car parked. Instinctively, she tapped the brakes. Two seconds later, she started the car again, speeding off.

The blue car followed her.

Belinda drove without stopping, and Lucas made no effort to stop her. He simply followed her steadily.

He only turned his car around when Belinda entered the underground parking lot of the Grand Plains General Hospital. It seemed as though he had just wanted to ensure she arrived safely at work in his own way.

Belinda found the entire situation perplexing, but she didn’t dwell on it. She quickly focused on her tasks.

After yesterday’s events, the hospital staff and patients’ families treated Belinda with renewed respect. However, Belinda showed no reaction to their changed demeanor.

Around noon, a nurse called out from the doorway, “Dr. Wright, you have a visitor.”

“Okay, got it,” Belinda responded, glancing up. She placed the medical record on the desk and exited her office.

When she stepped out, she saw Darwin and his aunt nearby. Belinda approached them with a smile and greeted them warmly.
