Chapter 995:
Once their conversation ended, Darwin promptly contacted Kane, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed the
number.
As soon as the line connected, Darwin’s urgent voice demanded, “Were you behind what happened to Belinda?”
He dreaded that Kane might be responsible for this. He feared Kane had realized his affections for Belinda and,
seeking to advance his own schemes, had deliberately exposed her to a life-threatening illness to sever his bond
with her.
Kane, on the other end of the line, was momentarily stunned by the question. After a pause, he answered, “That
wasn’t my doing!” He exhaled in frustration. “Since | instructed you to pursue Belinda and separate her from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas, why would | do that to her? What possible advantage would | gain from such an act?”
Darwin, on the other end of the line, fell into a brief silence, his fingers tightening around his phone as he
processed Kane's words.
Kane continued, his tone laced with sincerity, “I swear, | had nothing to do with this! I only just learned about the
matter myself.”
He was telling the truth—he genuinely had no prior knowledge of the situation.
Moreover, if Belinda had indeed contracted HIV, it would bring no benefit whatsoever. If anything, it would only
complicate his plans.
The rigidity in Darwin's expression eased slightly. Based on what he knew of Kane, he believed he was telling the
truth. Choosing not to pursue the matter further, Darwin merely responded, “Got it.” Then, he hung up the
phone.
At the Davidson family’s house, Devin had hoped to visit Belinda, but she had turned him down, leaving him

Exiting his room, he set off to search for Nigel. However, his steps halted when he caught the sound of
Carmelita’s laughter drifting from the small balcony.
“Oh! What is this if not poetic justice? Belinda got infected with HIV! This is incredible! She won't be able to
seduce my brother now!” Devin’s face darkened immediately at her malicious words, his jaw clenching with
anger.
“Hiana, you can rest assured. There's absolutely no future for Devin and Belinda. Belinda is an illegitimate

voice dripped with glee at Belinda’s misfortune, her laughter punctuated by cruel amusement.
Devin could stomach no more. He strode onto the balcony, his eyes blazing with fury, and called out angrily,
“Carmelita!”
Startled, Carmelita stiffened, her face paling briefly. Seeing Devin, she hastily muttered into the phone, “Uh, I-I'll
call you later.”
She quickly ended the call and plastered an awkward smile on her face. “Devin... What brings you here?”
Devin’s voice was sharp with disapproval, his gaze unwavering. “Belinda hasn't been confirmed as HIV positive.
If you don’t want trouble, stop spreading rumors!”
Carmelita crossed her arms with a defiant pout. “I only said what everyone has been saying. Belinda cinto
contact with infected blood—the odds of her being infected are very high! Everyone is saying she is infected.”
After a brief pause, she tilted her head and asked in disbelief, “Wait, Devin... You can’t possibly still have feelings
for her, can you? Even after this?”
