Chapter 1080
Chapter 1080:
Lucas reached out, gently wiping the dampness from her face, his voice laced with warmth. “No more tears. This is something to celebrate.”
Sniffling, Belinda looked up at him through glistening eyes, her voice a whisper.
“I know… These are tears of joy.”
Lucas chuckled, nodding. “Alright.”
But just as the relief settled in, a sudden thought flashed through Lucas’ mind, darkening his expression in an instant.
His voice was tinged with a sharp edge. “If all six hospitals returned negative results…” He paused, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Then that means the real problem lies within the Grand Plains General Hospital.”
Belinda brushed the tears from her cheeks and straightened her posture, her face now composed.
It was clear now… From the very beginning, someone had meddled with the results of her blood test!
Lucas turned to Gordon and said in a cold voice, “Look into it.”
“Understood.” Gordon gave a solemn nod and swiftly exited the room.
Now, only Belinda and Lucas were left in the expansive living room.
Sitting on the couch, Lucas clasped Belinda’s hand firmly in his.
His voice was rough with emotion, tinged with relief. “I always believed you’d be fine. I should have realized sooner that your blood test could have been tampered with.”
“Don’t say that. This isn’t on you,” Belinda said, shooting him a sharp look. “When the results came in, we were all too overwhelmed to think straight. Who could have guessed the report might have been tampered with? Thankfully, everything’s turned out well in the end.”
Her voice wavered slightly, and her eyes glistened with fresh tears.
Lucas drew her into his embrace. “Everything is fine now.”
Cradled against his chest, Belinda wrapped her arms around him and nodded firmly. “Yes. We’re both okay now.”
After a moment, Belinda pulled back slightly, her eyes locking onto his. Overcome with emotion, she leaned in to kiss him.
But just as their lips were about to meet, Lucas abruptly pulled away, avoiding her.
Belinda was stunned. She stared at him, bewildered.
Before, when her test results were still uncertain, Lucas had repeatedly tried to kiss her, only for her to push him away. Now that she was fine and making the first move, why was he hesitating?
Lucas pressed his lips together, his voice hesitant. “I haven’t been tested yet. What if—”noveldrama
Belinda interjected, “No ‘what ifs’! You will be fine!”
With that, she closed the distance between them and kissed him.
Lucas tensed momentarily but quickly gave in.
With a soft exhale, he wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
When their lips finally parted, both of them were slightly breathless.
Belinda gently nuzzled her nose against his and said, “Lucas Clark, you fool! You never rejected me when I was at risk of infection; of course, I wouldn’t reject you now!”
She understood what he was thinking.
A faint smile tugged at Lucas’ lips, but then his expression shifted. His gaze darkened as he looked at her. “What did you just call me?”
