NovelUpdateChapter 1149:
After all, hadn't Lucas made it clear he didn’t want her anywhere near Darwin? Well, she would not listen to him!
Hearing Belinda’s words, Lucas felt a fire ignite in his chest.
“Belinda, you—"
Belinda didn’t let him finish. “That's all. Bye.”
With that, she ended the call without giving him a chance to reply.
Lucas sat there, gripping his phone, seething.
He then shot up from his chair and strode out of his office.
He rushed to Darwin's ward as quickly as possible.
But as he stepped inside, he realized something was off. Belinda was nowhere in sight. Neither was Darwin.

The man looked startled to see Lucas. “M-Mr. Clark, do you need something?”
Lucas’ gaze sharpened. “Where's Darwin?”
The caregiver gestured toward the restroom. “Mr. Lambert is in the restroom.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Has Belinda been here today?”
The caregiver shook his head. “No, Mr. Clark.”
Lucas exhaled slowly. “I see.” With that, he turned on his heel and left.
After exiting Darwin's ward, Lucas sat down on a bench not far from the door, took out his phone, and called
Belinda.

The line barely rang before Belinda answered the call, her tone cold. “What is it that you want?”
“Are you actually having lunch with Darwin?” Lucas asked, his tone aggrieved.
“Yeah, we're enjoying a fantastic meal together,” Belinda replied. In reality, she was stretching lazily in the
lounge and about to take a nap.
Lucas smirked, though he tried to sound annoyed. “Oh yeah? What exactly are you eating?”
He now knew Belinda was doing this on purpose to get under his skin.
“None of your business!” Belinda huffed, then promptly hung up.
Lucas let out a quiet sigh, feeling a sense of resignation settle over him. Still, he didn’t call Belinda again, nor did
he linger at the hospital. He soon got up and left.
Later in the afternoon, Lucas headed straight to the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Grand Plains General
Hospital to pick up Belinda after her shift.

As Belinda emerged from the lounge, now changed into casual clothes, her eyes quickly landed on Lucas. She
said, “I'm not heading home. I'm going to visit Dar—"
Before she could finish speaking, Lucas interjected, “Gordon just called. There's been smovement from
Sarai.”
Belinda froze for a moment, caught off guard by the news.
Belinda’s gaze locked onto Lucas. “What happened to Sarai?”
Lucas exhaled and shook his head. “I'm not sure yet. | told Gordon to explain everything in person, so he's
already on his way to our place.” He then glanced at Belinda, hesitating for a moment.
Belinda clenched her jaw.
She was still upset with Lucas, but Sarai’s situation took priority. Taking a deep breath, she straightened her
posture and said, “Let's go home.”
Lucas’ lips curled slightly in response. “Alright.”
They had just arrived hwhen Gordon showed up.
