Chapter 839:

“It’s nothing serious,” Lucas replied curtly but showed a hint of softness in his expression.
“That's reassuring,” Ryan replied with a nod of acknowledgment. He gazed at Lucas; his emotions were an

When Belinda returned, she immediately spotted Verena seated forlornly on a bench outside Lucas’ ward.
Noticing Verena outside the room instead of entering the ward caused Belinda’s brow to furrow slightly.
When Verena saw Belinda approach, her expression transformed in an instant.
She rose quickly to her feet and locked eyes with Belinda...

To Verena, Belinda’s words felt nothing short of blatant provocation, an intentional jab disguised as innocent
curiosity.
“The atmosphere here is pleasant. | just felt like getting sfresh air,” Verena replied evenly, holding Belinda’s
gaze.
“Ah, I understand,” Belinda said, her tone carrying a subtle edge. Then, she let out a soft laugh.
“It’s not every day that someone comes to a hospital just to enjoy the air in the corridor.”

relationship with him will revert to its former state!”
Belinda offered her a faint smile, the corners of her lips curling ever so slightly.
“Well, | hope your wish will ctrue.”
Although her words seemed polite, the underlying sarcasm was undeniable, and it stung Verena.
Without giving Verena a chance to respond, Belinda turned with a casual air and pushed open the door to the
hospital room.
Inside, Belinda cast a quick, indifferent glance at Ryan before turning her attention to Lucas.
