Chapter 78

Chapter 78:

Kylee, utterly embarrassed by the unfolding scene, felt her cheeks burn with humiliation. She dared only a quick,

covert glance at Lucas, who was now looking at Belinda with an amused and seemingly appreciative smile. That

look from Lucas, almost admiring, only deepened Kylee’s frustration, sparking a bitter resentment within her as

she bit her lip, wrestling with her emotions.

The atmosphere in the living room becpalpably tense. Holley made several attempts to lighten the mood

with small talk, but her efforts fell flat, failing to dissolve the tension in the air.

Eventually, it was tfor dinner, and everyone moved to the dining room. As they settled into their seats,

Belinda inquired, “Where's Carola?”

“She is tied up with something and won't be able to join us tonight,” Baker responded.

Belinda acknowledged this with a nod and refrained from saying anything more.

The meal proceeded in heavy silence, with the clinking of utensils against plates filling the air instead of

conversation.

Throughout dinner, Kylee stole glances at Belinda, her feelings oscillating between jealousy and rising irritation.

The more she reflected on the evening's exchanges, the angrier she became. She was determined not to let

Belinda get away with this easily this time. She wanted Belinda to learn that she was not someone to be trifled

with.

Fueled by this resolve, Kylee’'s gaze sharpened, her mind racing with plans. Quietly, she began to devise a

strategy, her eyes flicking cunningly as she formulated her next move.

Kylee rose from her seat, grabbed a nearby clean bowl, filled it with soup, and offered it to Belinda. “Here,

Belinda, try sof this soup.”

Belinda looked up at Kylee, her piercing eyes slightly narrowed as she observed her closely. There was a distinct

wariness in her gaze.

Kylee pressed her lips together, then spoke gently, “Belinda, | want you to know that | didn’t mean to embarrass

you in front of our colleagues. The incident was also my fault. | was happy to hear about your position at the

Grand Plains General Hospital, but when | first heard the news, | was so shocked that | spoke without thinking.

I'm sorry for that, Belinda. Do you think you could forgive me?”

Throughout her apology, Kylee’'s words seemed genuine and heartfelt. Yet, Belinda remained unmoved, her gaze

steady and her expression unchanged.

At that moment, Baker intervened. “Belinda, why are you still staring at Kylee? She’s apologized and even

brought you soup. Aren't you going to say anything? Con, just accept the soup already!”

A slight flicker crossed Belinda’s eyes. After a few seconds, she stood up and reached for the bowl. She was

curious to see what Kylee was up to.

As Belinda was about to touch the bowl, Kylee unexpectedly let go of it. The soup splashed all over Kylee’s hand.

“Ah!” Kylee screamed in agony, her hand instantly turning red. Her complexion turned ashen, and tears

streamed down her face from the pain.
