NovelBookChapter 1153:
The next morning, Belinda continued to give Lucas the cold shoulder. After getting ready, she left for the Grand
Plains General Hospital without sparing him a trace of attention.
The morning passed in a blur of work, leaving her no tfor distractions.
After grabbing a quick lunch in the hospital cafeteria, she made her way to Kenia’s ward. Holley was there today.
Belinda’s expression beccomplicated when she saw Holley, though she still didn’t speak to her.
Belinda merely focused on Kenia, staying for a short while before preparing to leave.
However, just as she stepped into the hallway, Holley’s voice stopped her. “Belinda.”
Belinda stopped in her tracks.
Holley approached her with an uncertain expression. “Are you still upset with me?”

Belinda regarded her coolly and didn’t answer her question. “Do you need something?”
Holley bit her lip before speaking in a softer tone. “Belinda, it's been ages since we've shared a meal together.
Would you have dinner withtonight?”
A flicker of something crossed Belinda’s face.
Holley was inviting her to dinner?
It seemed clear now. Holley was making her move to set Sarai’s plan into action.

At that moment, Belinda found it hard to put her feelings into words. Holley had finally reached out to speak with
her, but that was only because of Sarai...
How ironic.
Belinda’s lips curved into a faint smile, though whether it was filled with self-mockery or quiet sorrow was
unclear.
“Belinda?” Holley called her nagain, sensing the silence stretching between them.
Belinda met her gaze and asked, “You really want to have dinner with me?”
Holley exhaled softly before answering, “It’s been a while since we sat down for a meal together. Could you
agree to have dinner with me?”
After a brief pause, Belinda gave a simple nod. “Alright.”
Holley’s face brightened with relief. “That's great!”
Then, as if recalling something, she quickly added, “Bring Mr. Clark along. Now that you two are back together,
that makes us all family.”
Belinda’s expression remained unreadable. Without hesitation, she replied, “Sure.”
Holley seemed even more pleased. “Then it’s settled. I'll send you the details later.”

Belinda said nothing more and walked past her, leaving.
Yet, as she turned, a flicker of hurt and disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Was this invitation truly about reconnecting, or was it about helping Sarai... Tonight would reveal the truth—if
Sarai appeared, then she would have her answer.
Even now, Belinda clung to a fragile hope, wanting to believe that her mother still had sshred of conscience
left.
Rather than returning to the Cardiac Surgery Department, she changed course and headed toward Darwin's
hospital room.
She hadn't visited him yesterday, so today, she believed she needed to see him.
When she stepped inside, she found Darwin alone.
“Belinda, you're here.” Darwin's face lit up the moment he saw her, his mood visibly lifting.
