Chapter 1051:

But Bethany engaged Catherine in conversation to ease the tension.

The air at Starryhill was crisp and invigorating.

The group arrived around eleven, and after a leisurely stroll and lunch, they went to their hotel rooms for a brief

rest.

Later, they ventured out to fish by the river.

Belinda was visibly cheerful, her smile constant.

However, that morning, she had noticed a rash developing on her neck.

All the typical side effects of her medication were manifesting.

Feeling resigned by her condition, she chose to wear a silk scarf to conceal the marks on her neck and keep the

matter hidden from the others, including Lucas.

After a productive afternoon of fishing, the group let the resort staff prepare the fish for dinner. In the evening,

they grilled the fish themselves.

While doing that, Catherine accidentally burned her hand.

“Ouch...” she winced.

Johnson's face transformed with concern, and he instinctively wanted to stand up to help her.

Just then, Belinda discreetly kicked him under the table.

This sharp reminder caused Johnson to recall—he had to remain distant toward Catherine now.

So, he turned to Bethany and said, “Bethany, could you help Catherine rinse her injured hand?”

Catherine froze briefly upon hearing that.

Johnson had never addressed her as “Catherine” before.

He had always called her “Cathy.”

It seemed he was intentionally creating distance between them.

“Okay,” Bethany replied and guided Catherine to the restroom.

As she ran cold water over Catherine’s burn, Bethany said, “Catherine, Johnson does care about you. He's just

afraid you might not like him getting so close to you. So, to prevent any discomfort, he thinks it’s best to put

sdistance between you two.”

Catherine gave a small nod. “I understand; it's probably for the best.” Yet, as she said it, she questioned herself

—was it truly for the best?

Why did she feel a bit sad because of this?

She was conflicted.

Previously, she had longed for her relationship with Johnson to return to how it was before. Now, with Johnson

distancing himself as she had wanted, she didn’t feel good about it at all.

After treating Catherine’s burn and securing ointment from the resort staff, Catherine and Bethany rejoined the

others by the river.

“How's your hand, Catherine?” Belinda inquired.

Catherine offered a reassuring smile. “It's fine now.”

“That's great,” Belinda replied.

After dinner, Lucas and Belinda decided to take a stroll.

“Did you have fun today?” Lucas asked as he gently ruffled Belinda’s hair.

“Yes, | had a wonderful time,” Belinda responded cheerfully, her smile bright.

She felt uplifted. The fresh air had done wonders for her mood.

About an hour into their walk, Lucas guided Belinda to a bench and sat down beside her.
