Her chest heaved with anger, her breath coming in sharp bursts.
She clenched her fists to steady herself before continuing, her voice dripping with frustration. “Did you so quickly
forget the promise you made me? It hasn't even been that long, and already you're going back on your word?”
Lamont wore a sheepish grin. “Con. It’s not like | planned for this to happen! Who knew the money would
run out so fast? | really had no other choice, so | had to cto you, Miss Lewis. | swear, this is the last time.
Just trustone last time!”
“Absolutely not!” Holley’s voice was ice-cold and firm. “I don’t have a dto give you! | can’t even pull together
a thousand dollars right now!”
Lamont didn’t drop his grin. “Oh, con. Don’t be so heartless.”
“Heartless?” Holley shot back. “This has nothing to do with being heartless! | don’t have any money to give
you!” She absolutely couldn’t give Lamont another cent!

If she relented now, Lamont would only keep coming back, asking for more, draining her dry until she had
nothing left.
She had to put an end to this now.
But the moment Lamont realized Holley wouldn't budge, his expression shifted.
His eyes darkened, and his voice took on a threatening edge. “So that’s how it is, huh? | try to be polite, and you
brushoff? Fine, then! If you won't help me, I'll just go straight to Dr. Wright. She’s got plenty of money,
right?”
With that, Lamont moved to leave.
“Stop!” Holley shouted through gritted teeth.

Lamont turned back, smirking triumphantly as he eased back into his seat. “So, you're willing to givethe
money now? That's more like it. I'm not asking for much—just two million. And this time, I'll give you three
days.”
Holley’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Two million? That's too much!” How could he ask for so much?
He had taken five hundred thousand from her not long ago, and now, he was demanding four times that
amount?
Lamont chuckled, completely unfazed by her outrage. “Just givethe money on time,” he said.
After a pause, he added, “If | don’t see the money in three days, I'll go straight to Dr. Wright. And trust me, |
don’t make empty threats.” With that, he pushed himself up from his seat and left.
This time, Holley didn’t stop him.
Her whole body trembled with rage, her jaw locked so tightly it ached. Her fingers dug into her palms as she
clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

This had gone on long enough. This man... this nightmare... it all had to end! At the Grand Plains General
Hospital, it was around noon when Lucas arrived.
After spending stwith Kenia, he called Belinda outside to talk to her.
They sat side by side on a bench just outside the hospital ward.
Lucas reached for Belinda’s hand, gently enclosing it within his own.
His gaze was steady, his voice low and tinged with remorse. “Belinda, | owe you an apology for what happened
that day... | was wrong.”
Belinda was momentarily stunned, then she realized Lucas was apologizing for forcing himself on her that day.
She pressed her lips into a thin line and said nothing.
With all the turmoil involving Holley and Sarai, she had almost forgotten that she was still angry at Lucas for
that.
Unable to help herself, Belinda turned away, her lips pursed in a playful pout.
