His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 576:

Thanks to the proximity of the Grand Plains General Hospital, the ambulance arrived within five minutes.

After Holley was rushed into the emergency room, Belinda stood outside the door, her mind reeling. With each passing second, her anxiety deepened.

Just then—

“Belinda!” a deep, concerned voice called out.

Belinda turned in the direction of the voice.

Lucas was hurrying down the corridor toward her, his face slick with sweat.

He then embraced her tightly.

“I was so worried about you…” he murmured, his voice shaking slightly.

Belinda could hear the distress in Lucas’ voice, and even she could not deny his concern for her. Her heart was thrust into turmoil once again.

She struggled against him and pushed him away.

Lucas immediately released her and then gently checked her from head to toe. His attention was drawn to the scrapes on her arms and calves. The blood had already dried.

Frowning, Lucas took her hand and led her to a nearby bench.

Belinda didn’t protest and plopped down on the bench.noveldrama

“Stay put and wait for me here,” Lucas instructed.

After making sure Belinda was settled, he turned and left.

He returned a few minutes later with an ice pack, a towel, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, and a packet of cotton swabs.

Lucas sat beside Belinda. He poured hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab and carefully dabbed it on her injuries. He even leaned in and softly blew on her wound, worried she might still be in pain.

His warm breath made her feel itchy.

Belinda stiffened slightly, and a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes.

Lucas continued tending to her injuries, his touch gentle throughout, as though he were handling something precious and delicate.

When he finished with her arms, he began to crouch down to tend to her leg injuries.

“I can do it myself,” Belinda quickly said.

“Don’t move,” Lucas said in a stern voice.

Without another word, he bent over, lifted her legs, and placed them on his lap.

Once he was done disinfecting her wounds, he wrapped the ice pack in the towel and pressed it against her ankle.

Earlier, when Holley had pushed Belinda, she had twisted her ankle. It was now red and swollen.

Lucas didn’t speak any further. He had initially planned to give Belinda some space for at least a few days. But when he received a call from one of his men that Belinda had been involved in a car accident with her mother, he couldn’t stop himself from rushing over.
