Chapter 1068:
Lucas followed her, concern etched on his features as they hastened toward the Grand Plains General Hospital.
Throughout the drive, Belinda’s heart raced with trepidation, leaving her feeling utterly disoriented. Each passing
moment felt like an eternity as she grappled with the thought of her grandmother in distress.
Lucas continuously tried to reassure her with gentle words. “Everything will be alright, Belinda. Kenia is strong.
She'll get through this.”
Yet Belinda barely heard him. All she could think about was her grandmother lying on a hospital bed, possibly in
pain and unconscious...
After a while, they finally arrived at the neurosurgery operating room at the Grand Plains General Hospital,
breathless and anxious.

At the entrance to the operating room, they encountered Sarai waiting anxiously.
The instant Sarai saw Belinda, she rushed forward. “Belinda! Hurry! The doctors need a family member's consent
before they can start the surgery!” Since Sarai wasn’t an immediate relative, she hadn't been permitted to sign.
Belinda barely stopped to catch her breath as she reached the surgical unit. “Dr. Hammond!” She recognized the
man in front of her as the deputy director of the neurosurgery department.
Hammond turned at the sound of her voice, his expression shifting slightly when he saw her. “Dr. Wright? What is
your relationship with the patient?”
“She’s my grandmother!” Belinda answered without hesitation.
Dr. Hammond nodded in understanding, his expression a blend of professionalism and empathy. “Alright, let me
brief you on her condition.” He took a deep breath before continuing. “The fall resulted in fractures to her left
ankle joint and left shoulder blade. While painful, these injuries are not life-threatening. The primary concern,
however, is intracranial hemorrhaging.”

Belinda’s heart sank at the mention of “intracranial hemorrhage,” and her face lost all color as the weight of the
words settled in. Beside her, Lucas’ demeanor shifted to one of concern.
Tightening his grip around Belinda’s shoulder, he offered silent comfort.
Hammond added, “Fortunately, the bleeding is not extensive. Given her age, we strongly recommend treating
the hematoma with a minimally invasive stereotactic aspiration procedure. This method is much safer than open
cranial surgery and reduces the risk of complications.”
He extended a document toward Belinda. “We need your signature to proceed.”
Belinda swallowed hard, her fingers trembling as she grasped the pen. With her vision slightly blurred by unshed
tears, she scrawled her non the form before looking up at the doctor, desperation evident in her gaze.

“Dr. Hammond, please... Please do everything you can to save her,” she said.
Dr. Hammond met her plea with a reassuring nod. “We'll try our best; don’t worry.” With that, he turned and
disappeared into the operating room.
Lucas guided Belinda to a nearby bench, gently urging her to sit down. He took her hands in his, his grip warm
and steady. “Your grandmother is in capable hands, Belinda. I'm sure she will be alright.”
Belinda nodded, though her breath remained shallow.
The knowledge that the surgery was minimally invasive brought srelief, but the uncertainty still loomed
over her like a dark cloud.
Just then, a thought suddenly jolted Belinda from her spiral of fear. Her gaze snapped to Sarai, whose face was
still drawn with worry. “Sarai, tellexactly what happened. How did my grandmother fall?”
Sarai’s expression darkened with hesitation before she finally spoke. “It was Holley... Kenia received a call from
her. Holley told her that you had tested positive for AIDS.”
