His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1418:

Carola had always seen Holley as a caring mother who doted on Belinda.

How could she have harmed Belinda like that?

Carola couldn’t make sense of it.

Looking at Belinda now, Carola felt for her.

Belinda had just been an innocent child when Holley had administered those hormone injections to her.

What had Belinda done to deserve such a terrible thing?

Carola sighed softly and asked in concern, “How is your health now? Have those hormone injections caused any lasting damage to your body?”

Belinda was momentarily at a loss for words. She couldn’t even begin to describe how she felt at that moment.

Even Carola, who wasn’t family, cared enough to ask about her health. But even after the truth about the injections had come to light, not once had Holley asked how she was doing.

Belinda might have laughed at the absurdity of the situation if it wasn’t so tragic.

Belinda pressed her lips into a tight line and mulled it over for a few seconds before saying, “I went through a full medical examination soon after it was discovered that my weight gain was abnormal. I was in very poor condition then. But after years of treatment, my health has significantly improved. Sadly, I’ve been told that a complete and absolute recovery is not possible.”noveldrama

“How awful,” Carola said with a heavy sigh.

Beyond expressing her sympathies, she didn’t know how else to comfort Belinda.

What could she possibly say to make it better? Should she tell Belinda that it was all in the past? Or perhaps, that her parents must have had their reasons for doing what they had done?

No, Carola couldn’t bring herself to say something like that.

No matter how she looked at it, Baker and Holley were horrible, and they didn’t deserve any forgiveness.

Later, during their meal, they didn’t discuss the matter further. They continued eating, and now and then, Carola would ask Belinda about her work and personal life.

Belinda didn’t hold anything back and answered truthfully.

She could tell that Carola was genuinely concerned about her and wasn’t just trying to gather information for Kylee.

It was odd. Despite the complicated way their lives were entwined, Belinda found a keen sense of comfort whenever she was around Carola.

She couldn’t quite explain this feeling.

In fact, Carola felt the same way.

Although Belinda’s circumstances had nothing to do with her, she felt deeply affected by her suffering. She wanted to do something for her, anything really, to ease her distress.
