?Chapter 1638:


    That was why, after everything, Sarai had buried the truth deep within herself, using it to serve her own interests.


    Someone like Sarai was not worth the ache in her chest. Belinda knew this, but she still couldn’t help but feel slightly sad.


    Just then…


    Lucas reached out and gently took Belinda’s hand in his. He could feel the weight of her pain.


    Sarai’s call had no doubt stirred up memories of that unpleasant incident. She had been betrayed by those she trusted most. The scars from that betrayal still lingered, and now, with Sarai’s call, those old wounds were being pulled open again.


    “Those people aren’t worth your sorrow,” Lucas said gently.


    Belinda nodded slowly. “I know. I just got carried away for a moment. I’ll be alright.”


    They didn’t revisit the topic after that.


    After the meal, Lucas drove Belinda back to the hospital.


    That evening, as usual, Lucas arrived to pick her up after work, and they headed home together.


    During dinner, Belinda noticed something off about Gwenda. She seemed a bit distracted.


    “Grandma, is something bothering you?” Belinda asked.


    Gwenda didn’t reply, as though lost in her own world.


    “Grandma? Grandma?” Belinda called again.


    “Huh? What is it?” Gwenda finally turned to look at her.


    “You seem distracted,” Belinda said. “Is something on your mind?”


    Gwenda gave a faint smile. “Oh, it’s nothing. My thoughts just wandered for a moment.”<fnfef7> For more chapters visit findnovel</fnfef7>


    Let your mind wander with g?lnσν????s﹒??????


    Belinda didn’t say anything more, but it was clear she didn’t believe Gwenda’s exnation.


    After dinner, Gwenda moved to the living room without another word. Belinda quietly turned to Margie and asked, “Did you notice anything unusual about my grandma today?”


    “Unusual?” Margie looked confused.


    “Did she meet someone or get a phone call or something?” Belinda said.


    Margie paused, then seemed to remember something. “Oh, actually, yes—this afternoon, she took a phone call. I don’t know who it was on the other end of the line; she went upstairs to take the call.”


    Belinda’s eyes narrowed slightly. Gwenda had gone to her room just to take the call. It had to be Sarai who had called Gwenda. Belinda was sure of it.


    She pressed her lips together, lost in thought.


    Before she could think more about it, the doorbell rang.
