Chapter 884

Chapter 884:

The corners of Lucas’s lips tilted slightly.

“Not much, really. | told her how | feel about you and that | hoped she'd stop being so opposed to me.” He

suspected that the hormones in Belinda’s body and the dark mark on her face before were related to Holley, but

he refrained from mentioning it to Belinda. He didn’t want to disturb her mood any further.

Belinda didn’t question Lucas’s words. She simply nodded.

Meanwhile, Holley hadn't actually left the hospital. She was waiting in the parking lot for Kenia and Sarai.

Kenia and Sarai soon approached Holley, and they all got into the car and drove back.

“What did Belinda do to upset you this time?” Kenia asked Holley.

“She askedright to my face if she could still trust me. Can you believe that, Mom? Isn’t she going too far? I'm

her mother, for goodness’ sake! She can’t even trust me, the woman who brought her into this world? How can |

not get mad at that? | feel insulted and heartbroken!” Holley’s voice cracked a little.

Kenia heaved a long sigh.

“Kenia, what did Mr. Clark say to you?” Sarai asked from the driver's seat.

“That's right,” Holley chimed in with a sniff.

“You two talked for so long. What did you discuss?”

Kenia was upfront about the conversation.

“He askedabout the hormones in Belinda’s body and the dark mark she used to have on her face.”

Holley’s pupils shrank in an instant when she heard that.

“Why would Mr. Clark abruptly bring this up?” Holley blinked, her eyebrows knitting together in evident

confusion.

“Mr. Clark toldthat he intends to begin investigating this matter,” Kenia replied.

When Holley heard that, her demeanor shifted instantly, her heart racing with apprehension. A wave of anxiety

surged within her, but she forced herself to remain composed, carefully maintaining a neutral expression.

“Isn't it peculiar?” Sarai said, a slight furrow forming between her brows.

“Who would have imagined that Belinda’s childhood weight gain was the result of unknowingly consuming

hormones? But the real question is—who could have been responsible for administering those hormones to her?”

Her voice carried a note of confusion, her mind already sifting through possibilities.

“We don’t know that. That's why Mr. Clark wants to investigate the matter,” Kenia said.

Sarai gave a slight nod and didn’t say anything more.

Holley, meanwhile, kept her lips pressed together in a firm line. Her fingers twisted together unconsciously,

betraying the turmoil she struggled to contain.

Kenia’s sharp eyes didn’t miss the subtle gesture.
