Chapter 502:

After all that had happened, Verena was back in the hospital again. Just days ago, she had chosen to leave,

unable to bear the whispers and judgmental stares from the medical staff. And yet, here she was again,

unconscious and vulnerable.

Lucas sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, his back slouched against the backrest, his legs crossed. His

handsface betrayed no emotion, and his calm eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts.

Just then, Ryan emerged from the ward and sat beside Lucas.

“Why aren’t you inside?” Ryan asked.

“The air is better here,” Lucas replied nonchalantly.

After a few seconds, Ryan couldn't help but ask, “Lucas, what you said to Verena before... Was it all true?”

“Yes,” Lucas responded with a calm voice.

Ryan turned toward Lucas, his disbelief evident. “You... You've actually fallen for Belinda?” he asked.

Lucas furrowed his brow. “Is it really so shocking? Is it that unbelievable that | have feelings for Belinda?” he

said.

Ryan nodded without hesitation. “Of course! You used to hate her! You couldn't even hear her nwithout

showing annoyance. How could you possibly have feelings for her now? Lucas, are you sure about this?” Ryan

struggled to accept this change.

“The past is the past,” Lucas said calmly.

After a moment, his expression grew serious. In a low, husky voice, he added, “Now, she is the only one | want.”

When Ryan heard this, his expression shifted instantly. He couldn't believe it... Lucas was saying he only wanted

Belinda!

Ryan swallowed hard, struggling to process Lucas’ words. After a moment, he finally asked, “Then... What about

Verena? What are you going to do with her?”

At Ryan's words, Lucas’ expression darkened, becoming even more serious. Without hesitation, he replied, “I

can’t love two people at once. For Verena, all | can offer is my apology.”

Ryan met Lucas’ gaze, inhaled deeply, and asked, “Do you know why Verena attempted to take her own life?”

Lucas’ brow furrowed at the question.

Ryan briefly pressed his lips together before explaining, “Over the past few days, Verena’s mental state has been

incredibly unstable. She hasn't been able to sleep through the night. Even when she manages to drift off,

nightmares jolt her awake. Eventually, she had to rely on sleeping pills—sometimes taking four at once—just to

get srest. One day, Verena confided in me, saying the agony she felt was so overwhelming that she didn’t

know how she could continue living. | was stunned, and it tooka long tto find the right words to comfort

her.”

After a pause, he continued, “Her words madecautious. That's why, over the past few days, I've had the

family servants check on her often and keep a close watch on her condition. Today, if a servant hadn't realized

Verena had been in the bathroom for too long and used the spare key to unlock the door, Verena would have...

She would have died!” His voice cracked, his eyes welling up with tears.
