Chapter 409:

His voice was so loud that it was impossible for anyone to miss his words.

Belinda’s hand paused momentarily around her glass, but she quickly masked her reaction, regaining her

composure.

Lucas picked up his glass with calm determination, clinked it against Ryan’s, and downed the drink in a single,

effortless gulp.

Meanwhile, Darwin turned to Belinda and said, “Dr. Wright, | truly appreciate everything you've done. If it weren't

for you, my aunt might not have made it.” After a pause, he added with genuine gratitude, “You're a hero to my

entire family.”

Belinda smiled warmly. “There is no need for you to thank me. Anyone in that situation would have done the

same.”

Darwin shook his head and replied, “That's not true. These days, people are too afraid to help others and be the

hero, so most just turn a blind eye when they encounter someone who needs help. That's what makes your

timely intervention so commendable.”

As he spoke, Darwin's tone carried a subtle hint of resignation. “My aunt was supposed to be here today, but she

wasn't feeling well before leaving, so | told her to rest at home. She’ll thank you in person next time,” he

explained.

Belinda advised gently, “If she frequently feels unwell, it's best to have it checked at the hospital to prevent it

from worsening.”

Darwin nodded in agreement and said, “I understand. I'll take my aunt to the hospital tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Belinda replied with a reassuring nod.

Throughout the meal, neither of them said much.

However, Darwin was very attentive, often helping to fill Belinda’s glass with a polite gesture.

Belinda couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed by his constant attentiveness.

Halfway through the meal, she excused herself and headed to the restroom.

After washing her hands, as she was about to return to her table, Belinda spotted Ryan standing nearby.

The moment Belinda laid eyes on Ryan, her brows knitted together in frustration, and a look of impatience

flickered in her gaze.

She continued walking, her eyes locked firmly ahead.

As she passed Ryan, he suddenly called out, “Belinda.”

Belinda paused in her steps.

Ryan’s expression grew serious as he stared at her, his eyebrow lifting just a fraction. “Can we talk?” he asked.

In response, Belinda tugged the corner of her lips into a cold smile and replied, “I don’t believe there's anything

for us to talk about, Mr. Adams.”

Ryan let out a soft chuckle. “Oh, but there is. Aren't you curious to hear something about Lucas?”

Before Belinda could say anything, Ryan continued, “This morning, Lucas went to the hospital to visit Verena. Not

only was he showering her with concern, but he also told her straight away that he has divorced you.”

He smirked. “And Lucas also mentioned that, as long as Verena is willing, he is ready to marry her anytime.”
