Chapter 1046:
Belinda was visibly thinner now, her complexion paler than before.
“Listen to me,” Catherine said with determination, “You're going to be alright. A classmate of mine has a brother
who's a doctor. He once experienced an occupational exposure incident, but because he received immediate
treatment and followed the full course of medication, he was completely fine. You will be, too.”
Belinda met her gaze and nodded, a small but genuine smile on her lips. “Yeah, | believe that.”
Catherine smiled back upon hearing that.
After a moment, Belinda hesitated, then spoke with a mix of caution and curiosity. “Catherine... Are you really
planning to keep avoiding Johnson?”

At the mention of Johnson, Catherine’s expression shifted. She bit her lip and lowered her gaze, a storm of
emotions flickering across her features.
Belinda let out a quiet sigh.
Just as she was about to speak, a sudden knock echoed from the door.
Rising from her seat, Belinda made her way to the door and opened it. For a split second, she stood frozen in
place, her eyes widening in surprise at the unexpected visitor standing before her...
Belinda cleared her throat gently, her voice soft but deliberate.
“Johnson, you're here,” she said.
At the sound of Belinda’s words, Catherine, seated on the sofa, stiffened abruptly.

Johnson stepped into the room, his eyes briefly flickering toward Belinda. “Why are you wearing a scarf?” he
asked.
“It’s a little chilly. I'm wearing it to keep my neck warm,” Belinda replied, her fingers brushing the fabric lightly.
Johnson nodded, his attention shifting to Catherine.
His brow lifted slightly as he said casually, “Oh, Cathy’s here, too.”
“Johnson,” Catherine greeted him, rising to her feet.
Johnson acknowledged her with a brief nod before turning back to Belinda. “How are you feeling? Have the side
effects eased a bit?”
Belinda nodded. “Yes, | am feeling much better today.”
Johnson walked over to the sofa and took a seat, continuing to inquire about Belinda’s condition.
Throughout the conversation, he didn’t so much as glance at Catherine.

This left Catherine feeling a mix of confusion and relief.
The three of them spent stchatting, with Johnson and Catherine keeping the conversation light and
focused on Belinda. Eventually, Catherine was the first to excuse herself.
“Belinda, | have sthings to take care of, so I'll leave now. Take care, and I'll visit you again soon,” Catherine
said.
“Alright,” Belinda replied with a nod.
At that moment, Johnson also stood. “I should get going, too,” he announced.
The moment he said that, Catherine froze.
Belinda didn’t say anything, but her gaze lingered on Johnson, her eyes conveying something unspoken.
Johnson, however, remained unfazed, his face betraying no emotion.
Together, Johnson and Catherine left Belinda’s house.
As soon as they stepped outside, Catherine turned to Johnson. “Johnson, I'll be on my way now. Goodbye.”
