Chapter 839:

your injury?”

“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 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.”

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.
