His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1134:

As Belinda watched Darwin being taken to the hospital, she finally exhaled, releasing a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

Just then, Lucas’ expression darkened.

As he was about to untie Belinda, he noticed the three bleeding wounds on her arm.

A dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.

He turned slowly, his gaze locking onto Rhys, who was now restrained.

“Break his hands,” Lucas ordered, his voice chillingly low, his fury barely contained.

How dare Rhys harm Belinda?

“Understood,” the bodyguard in black responded without hesitation before dragging Rhys away.

Lucas turned back to Belinda, quickly untying her.

He then leaned in and softly blew over her wounds, his face clouded with concern. “Are you in pain?” he asked gently.noveldrama

Belinda, her gaze meeting his, pouted slightly. “Yes,” she admitted.

She had no reason to feign strength before the man she loved.

Lucas’ heart clenched at her vulnerability.

He leaned closer, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead, his voice laced with self-reproach. “This is my fault. I should have protected you better. I failed you.”

Belinda shook her head lightly. “It’s not your fault, Lucas.”

Still, Lucas couldn’t shake the weight of guilt pressing down on him. Taking her hand in his, he spoke softly. “Come, let’s get back to the car. I’ve brought a doctor to tend to your wounds.”

“Okay.” Belinda nodded without resistance.

After Belinda’s wounds were treated, Lucas drove the car to the Grand Plains General Hospital.

By the time they arrived, it was well past eleven in the evening. Lucas had wanted nothing more than to take Belinda home, to make sure she rested after everything she had been through.

She had endured a kidnapping, injuries, and undeniable emotional turmoil.

But Belinda had refused to go home.

She believed she needed to see Darwin, to make sure he was truly out of danger.

Lucas had no choice but to relent and accompany her.

Outside the operating room, Belinda paced anxiously, unable to stand still. Lucas, seeing her so worried about Darwin, felt a pang of jealousy stir within him.

“Belinda, come sit,” he said, gently taking her hand and guiding her to the bench.

Belinda obeyed, but the worry in her eyes didn’t fade.

“Lucas… Do you think Darwin will make it?” she asked.

Lucas met her gaze, determination solid in his expression. “He will. Don’t worry.” Even though he wasn’t certain, he knew Belinda needed reassurance more than anything now.

Belinda bit her lip, still looking worried.

After a while, something seemed to dawn on her. Looking up, she fixed Lucas with an inquisitive gaze. “Lucas, how did you know where to find me earlier?”

Lucas fell into a brief silence after hearing Belinda’s words. Then, he said, “Darwin called to let me know.”

When Lucas and his people had arrived and seen the situation unfolding upstairs, they had acted immediately, forming a plan on the spot.
