Chapter 1209:
Holley trembled at the loud sound, her face turning even paler. She stared at the closed door, clenched her teeth
in frustration, and then turned to leave.
Inside the room, Belinda settled onto the sofa. Her expression was still dark. Several days had passed since the

Even her apology was motivated not by a genuine realization of her mistake but by Kenia’s urging.
It was evident to Belinda now that she held no significance to Holley. Previously, such indifference would have
wounded her deeply, leaving her heartbroken. But now, she felt nothing but numbness. Because she no longer

That night, Belinda’s sleep was deep and undisturbed, free from any thoughts of Holley.
The following day, Belinda had not yet returned to her office after finishing her rounds when she noticed
Carmelita waiting for her at the doctor's office door. Carmelita’s face clouded over at the sight of Belinda.
Belinda said to the other doctors, “Return to the office without me.”
“Okay,” they replied.
After they had left, Belinda approached Carmelita.
“Cwith me,” Belinda said curtly, leading the way.

Carmelita’s eyes were blazing with fury as she spat out, “Drop the act, Belinda! You know exactly why | came

Belinda couldn’t help but laugh at that. She sighed and gave Carmelita a cold look. “The thing is, you have only

because of me?”
Carmelita was rendered momentarily speechless. It was as if something was stuck in her throat, and for a

have succeeded! Things wouldn't have turned out this way!”
Belinda scoffed and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, “Believe me, if you and lliana
had succeeded in your plan, your situation would be a lot worse than this. As a matter of fact, you should be
thankingfor having interfered in time. If | hadn't cwhen | did, you'd be in more serious trouble right
now.”
