Chapter 859:

As she said this, Belinda kept her gaze fixed on Holley, studying every change in her expression.

“What?” Holley’s eyes went wide, shock etched across her face.

Kenia and Sarai shot up from the sofa, rushing over to Belinda.

“How could something like that happen? Belinda, are you hurt? Lettake a good look at you,” Kenia

exclaimed, her voice filled with worry. She gently pulled Belinda closer and examined her.

“I'm fine, Grandma,” Belinda assured her with a small shake of her head, offering a reassuring glance.

She then turned her attention back to Holley.

The shock on Holley’s face didn’t seem feigned. From her reaction, it was clear Holley hadn't been aware of the

matter. Could it really be that Holley had nothing to do with what had happened?

Once everyone was seated again, Kenia broke the silence, her tone heavy with concern.

“Belinda, tell us exactly what happened.”

Belinda drew in a steadying breath before saying, “That Minna... We've had our issues before, but | never

thought she’d actually try to kill me! It was chaos. She catso fast that | couldn’t react in time. | almost

got stabbed. But Lucas jumped in and shieldedwith his back.”

“What! How is Mr. Clark? Is he badly hurt?” Sarai immediately panicked, her face filled with worry.

Belinda shot Sarai a lazy, unreadable glance but didn’t answer. Realizing she had overreacted, Sarai stiffened,

her face frozen in embarrassment.

“Uh, just... | was too shocked...” she stammered awkwardly.

“How is Lucas now?” Kenia asked, her expression grave.

“The wound was deep, but thankfully, it missed any vital organs,” Belinda replied.

“That's a relief,” Kenia said, visibly shaken but grateful.

“We owe Lucas a huge debt. If it weren't for him...”

Holley remained quiet, her mind spinning.

That day, Kylee had called her, asking her to find a way to lure Belinda out of the hospital. Kylee had hinted at

splan but hadn't explained the details to her.

Now, hearing Belinda’s account, Holley pieced it together. The plan had been to let Minna kill Belinda. This left

Holley stunned.

And when Belinda had mentioned that Lucas had shielded her with his own body, taking the blade meant for her,

Holley’s heart had sunk. Her chest tightened. Lucas had been injured. There was no doubt the investigation into

the attack would escalate. What if people traced it back to Kylee?

And did Lucas actually care about Belinda that much? He had risked his life to save her! If Kylee discovered this,

she would undoubtedly be upset.
