?Chapter 1645:


    Forcing herself to shut her eyes, Sarai tried to push the ideas away. All she could do now was wait for the person to reach out again.


    Two days flew by in an instant.


    Today marked Barbara’s discharge from the hospital. In her hospital room, Belinda carefully went over post-discharge instructions with Barbara and Nni.


    “You’re cleared to go home, but you’ve just undergone major surgery, and your body’s still healing. Be cautious at home—no heavy lifting or intense activities, got it? Schedule regr follow-ups, and if you feel even the slightest difort, call me right away. Don’t brush off any symptoms, no matter how small,” Belinda said.


    Barbara nodded enthusiastically, her face glowing with appreciation. “Got it, I’ll be careful. Thank you, Belinda.”


    Belinda smiled warmly, gently tousling Barbara’s hair.


    Nni, taking Belinda’s hand, spoke with heartfelt sincerity. “Belinda, please talk to Lucas and let us know when you’re both free. Our family would love to have you over for dinner to celebrate Barbara’s recovery. You have toe.”


    Belinda’s smile didn’t falter as she agreed. “Sure, I’ll check with Lucas.”


    “That’s great to hear!” Nni beamed.


    Turning to Elwood, Belinda asked, “Mr. Wright, have you had any more headaches recently?”


    Elwood responded with a calm, polite smile. “My doctor gave me some medication, and I haven’t had any headaches since.”<fn182c> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on f?ndnovel</fn182c>


    “That’s a relief,” Belinda said, nodding. “Just keep things low-stress and don’t push yourself to recall anything; it could trigger the headaches again.”


    “Alright,” Elwood replied.


    Nni observed their exchange, noting the easy rapport between them. Just as she was about to say something, the door swung open.


    “Dad, Aunt Nni, Barbara!” Zaria called out as she entered with Kylee by her side.


    Your escape is on g ? ln σ ν?? ??s


    At the sight of Kylee, Belinda’s expression tightened slightly, while Nni’s face clouded with concern, her eyes darting toward Elwood.


    Kylee, unfazed, strode directly toward Belinda. “Belinda, it’s a surprise to see you here.”


    Upon hearing Kylee address her, Belinda furrowed her brows deeply. She stayed silent, giving Kylee a brief, dismissive nce before looking away.


    “Sister?” Elwood, catching Kylee’s words, couldn’t hide his confusion. Nni’s heart raced with unease. She wanted to swiftly redirect the conversation or usher Kylee out, but after a moment’s reflection, she realized that would only raise more suspicion. So, she held her tongue.


    Kylee turned to Elwood and exined, “Yes, Belinda and I have the same father. Her mother is my father’s… well, close friend.” She chose her words with care.


    Upon hearing this, Elwood instantly understood who Kylee was. Looking intently at her, he asked, “Is your mother Car?”


    Nni’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of Car. She clenched her jaw, her gaze fixed on Elwood, tense with worry. Kylee nodded without hesitation. “Yes!”
