NovelUpdateChapter 1146:
“I did.” Belinda gave a small nod before tilting her head slightly. “Is that why you're upset?”
Lucas’ expression darkened, his frustration barely contained. “You've been going to see him twice a day for the
past several days. Every visit lasts over half an hour. On top of that, you've been personally arranging for the
kitchen to send him special meals and nutritious soups daily.”
He exhaled sharply, his voice carrying an edge. “You're taking such good care of him, treating him like he’s
someone incredibly important to you. Have you ever stopped to think about how that makesfeel? Did it ever
cross your mind that | might be jealous?”
Belinda let out a breath, pressing her lips together as she tried to reason with Lucas. “Lucas, Darwin was injured
because of me. He's lying in a hospital bed for saving my life. Isn't it only right that | check in on him regularly?”
Her voice remained steady.

After a pause, she continued, “And the food? | just want him to heal faster; that’s all.”
Lucas’ gaze remained cold. “I know he saved you. | haven't forgotten that, and | won't. I'll repay that debt for
you.”
Belinda sighed, rubbing her temples. “Yes, you've said that. But just because you intend to repay him in your
own way, does that mean | should just ignore him altogether? Pretend nothing happened? You knowbetter
than anyone, Lucas. Do you really think I'm the kind of person who would be that ungrateful?”
Lucas’ jaw tightened. “This isn’t about being ungrateful. It's about keeping boundaries.”
Belinda’s expression darkened at that. “Boundaries? Darwin and | are friends, nothing more. What kind of
‘boundaries’ do you think I'm crossing?”

Her eyes locked onto his, her tone sharpening. “Lucas, what exactly are you implying? Do you actually suspect
that there's something improper going on between Darwin and me? Is that how you see me?”
As the words left her lips, the air between them grew heavier.
“Of course not!” Lucas immediately replied. And he meant it.
He also knew that Belinda only loved him.
But he knew Darwin had feelings for Belinda. That much was obvious. And watching her devote so much time
and attention to another man—it made his blood boil with anger.
Lucas exclaimed, “I don’t care! From now on, you're not allowed to visit him anymore.”
Before she could protest, he added, “If you're worried about his condition, I'll go check on him for you.”
Belinda’s temper flared instantly. “Absolutely not!”
Now, it wasn’t just Lucas who was upset—she was also angry.

Lucas’ expression darkened further at her immediate refusal.
He clenched his jaw, his frustration bubbling over. “I said what | said. This isn’t up for discussion,” he stated
firmly.
Belinda shot up from the couch, her hands balled into fists as she glared at him. “Lucas, you're being completely
irrational!”
Lucas’ anger spiked. She was actually calling him irrational because of Darwin?
Lucas stood as well. “Oh, I'm being irrational? Fine, Belinda. Letshow you what being truly irrational looks
like.”
Before she could react, he bent down and effortlessly threw her over his shoulder.
Belinda yelped, caught off guard by the sudden movement. “Lucas, what are you doing?”
