His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 769:

“Ah! A bee! A bee!” Verena’s panicked shriek echoed as she darted around wildly, flailing her arms in an attempt to evade the insect.

Everyone turned to see a bee buzzing aggressively after her, its relentless pursuit sending her into a full-blown frenzy.

Verena’s face turned ashen with fear, and in her frantic attempt to escape, she collided with Belinda. The impact was swift and powerful.

Verena barreled into Belinda with such force that Belinda had no chance to steady herself. Completely caught off guard, Belinda stumbled backward, her body thrown with alarming speed like a kite snapping free of its string.

With a loud splash, Belinda fell directly into the nearby hot spring pool.

Verena, still flailing and screeching, lost her balance in the chaos and followed suit, tumbling into the water right after Belinda.

“Belinda!”

“Verena!”

At that moment, a loud splash echoed through the air. Lucas dove headfirst into the waters of the hot spring.

“Help… Help me…” Verena cried out, her arms flailing helplessly as she struggled to keep her head above water, panic etched across her face.

When she spotted Lucas swimming toward her, a flicker of hope ignited in her eyes. She reached out to him desperately, grasping. “Lucas, save me… Please…”

To her utter disbelief, Lucas forcefully shoved her away and barked.

Without a moment’s pause, he swam directly toward Belinda.noveldrama

Belinda was also thrashing about in the water, her hands splashing wildly at the surface. Yet, fear had silenced her; she had already swallowed several mouthfuls of water and knew that speaking would only invite more of it down her throat.

Verena’s grasp on Lucas had made Belinda’s heart plummet. She feared Lucas would abandon her for Verena’s sake.

But to her astonishment, Lucas had shaken off Verena’s hand without a second thought and swum straight to her side.

At that moment, words failed to capture the whirlwind of emotions swirling within Belinda.

This left everyone on the shore frozen with disbelief.

Ryan’s expression shifted dramatically. Without a moment’s hesitation, he plunged into the water to rescue Verena.

As Lucas reached Belinda, he wrapped his arm securely around her waist, lifting her up from the water.

Belinda instinctively clung to his neck, gripping tightly in fear.

“It’s alright, Belinda. Don’t be afraid. I’m right here,” Lucas reassured her gently. He looked at Belinda with concern etched on his face, one arm secured around her waist while his other hand tenderly patted her back in comfort.

Finally mustering the courage to breathe, Belinda opened her mouth. But as fresh air filled her lungs, she erupted into a fit of coughing.

“Let’s get out of the water.” Lucas began leading Belinda to the edge of the pool.

Meanwhile, Ryan managed to pull Verena from the depths of the water. She coughed uncontrollably as she gasped for air, her complexion flushed with distress.
