NovelEnglishChapter 1741:
Seeing Lucas getting emotional, Belinda reached out, gently pressing her hand to his chest to soothe him. “Okay,
okay, | get it. | shouldn't have acted recklessly. Please don’t be upset, alright? At least things turned out okay this
time, didn’t they?”
Despite her words, she couldn't deny that Lucas had a point.
The first two robbers were mediocre at best with their fighting skills, but the third? He was clearly well-trained in
fighting, and his strength was formidable. Truthfully, if she hadn't resorted to a clever maneuver, she might not
have taken him down successfully.
But she kept that to herself, not wanting to worry Lucas further.
Lucas looked at her, his frustration still simmering.

Lucas didn’t respond, instead pulling her closer into his embrace.
After a while, his voice was low and rough as he murmured, “If anything like this happens again, I just wish you
would think of yourself first and stay safe. Your well-being means more than anything.”
Deep down, though, Lucas knew that was a futile hope.
Belinda remained silent, simply burrowing deeper into his arms.
Letting out a quiet sigh, Lucas said nothing more.
Thankfully, Belinda was unharmed this time.
That night, wrapped in Lucas’ arms, Belinda slept soundly.
She had thought she'd dream about what had happened that day, but surprisingly, she didn’t have a single
dream and slept straight through until morning.
Belinda might have slept well, but two others lay awake, their minds restless through the night.

“Mom, what would you like to eat? | can go get something for you,” Kylee said gently to Carola after they
finished freshening up.
“No need for that. I'll have the maid at hbring something,” Carola replied, her face indifferent, brushing off
the offer.
Kylee felt a pang of helplessness at her mother’s dismissal. After a moment, she nodded, “Alright, I'll call the
maid then.”
After arranging for food to be delivered, Kylee settled into a chair beside Carola’s hospital bed.
Hesitantly, she asked, “Mom, are you still upset with me?”
