NovelBookChapter 1114:
Lucas turned to Belinda, his voice heavy. “Did Holley... want you to grow up to be completely dependent on her?
To be someone without any skills?”
Belinda’s expression faltered, her throat tightening. After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice hesitant.
“Maybe... Maybe she just wantedto live a simple, carefree life. Maybe she thought that would make me
happy.”
“A person who knows nothing surely doesn’t have many worries,” Lucas’ tone was full of sarcasm.
Belinda froze.
Lucas’ words were harsh, but they carried a painful truth. Had that been Holley’s intention all along? Did Holley
just want her to beca person with no purpose, no capabilities?

The rest of the car ride passed in silence. It was clear that Lucas’ words had stirred something deep within
Belinda.
Lucas could sense her turmoil, and though he regretted causing her distress, he couldn't ignore the possibility
that Holley had harbored ill intentions toward Belinda from the start. More than ever, Lucas felt that Holley’s
behavior was suspicious. Yet, his investigations had shown she appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary
woman, with no suspicious history.
Thinking of this, Lucas couldn't help but frown.
He drove Belinda to the hospital, where she would stay to keep an eye on Kenia. They spent stchatting
with Kenia before Lucas left to return home.
At Vera Villas, Sarai approached Holley with a serious expression. “Holley, can we talk?”
Holley looked at her, slightly puzzled. “What is it, Sarai? What's on your mind?” She settled onto the sofa, her
posture relaxed but her tone curious.

Sarai wasted no time. “Yesterday, at the hospital... | overheard your conversation with Kenia.”
Holley’s brows knitted together, her expression confused as she met Sarai’s gaze. “You heard it. And?”
Sarai continued, “The hormones found in Belinda’s system... | actually know something about them.”
Holley’s pupils constricted instantly.
She... she knew something about that?
With a nervous gulp, Holley asked, “What exactly do you know?”

Sarai didn't hesitate. “When | was young, | visited your house to play with Belinda. That's when | saw you holding
a syringe and giving Belinda an injection while she was asleep.”
Holley’s face shifted immediately, her composure faltering. Her heart raced, panic surging through her. She had
never imagined that Sarai would have witnessed her injecting hormones into Belinda!
Sarai’s words left no room for doubt; she had seen it with her own eyes. Otherwise, how would she have known
about the method? Holley had chosen injections for their quick results. Later, as Belinda grew older, she
switched to pills, fearing that needle marks might raise questions.
But no matter what, she could never admit to it!
Forcing a smile, Holley replied, “That's impossible! I'm not a doctor; how could | have given her an injection?
Sarai, you must have been mistaken. You were just a child back then.”
Sarai’s smile was calm but firm. “Holley, | was thirteen at the time. | knew what | saw. | watched you inject her
with a syringe while she slept. She flinched slightly, as if she felt the pain, and let out a faint sound. You pushed
the liquid in and patted her back to calm her, and she drifted back to sleep.”
