His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 993:

A few hours later, Rowell and Jazmine took their leave.

Left alone, Belinda retreated to her room, collapsing onto the sofa as a bone-deep chill spread through her body.

As she had expected, Rowell shared the same concerns. If infected blood had entered her eye, the risk of transmission would be significantly higher.

Though she couldn’t say for sure whether it had happened, the discomfort she had felt in her eyes at the time gnawed at her. The thought of it made Belinda shut her eyes tightly. She was consumed by fear and despair.

Not long after, her stomach began to spasm again, and she ran to the bathroom and threw up.

That afternoon, Lucas came to Belinda’s place.

“How are you feeling today?” he asked, his voice laced with concern.

“Slightly better than yesterday,” Belinda replied.

But her complexion told a different story. Her skin was ghostly pale, her lips drained of color, and exhaustion clung to every inch of her.

Seeing Belinda like this, Lucas felt his heart tighten painfully. Belinda looked at him, sensing his hesitation. “Is there something on your mind?”

Lucas’ expression grew serious. “The matter wasn’t an accident; it was planned.”

Belinda stiffened, her breath hitching. “Who was behind this?”

“We haven’t found the person behind it yet,” Lucas admitted, then proceeded to explain everything he had uncovered.

As the truth sank in, Belinda clenched her jaw in anger.

So it really was intentional! Someone had orchestrated the entire event with a single purpose—to infect her with HIV.noveldrama

How malicious!

Taking a steadying breath, Belinda spoke, her tone edged with certainty. “The timing wasn’t random. That day, every other attending physician was occupied with surgeries. I was the only one available to operate on that patient.”

Lucas met her eyes, his voice resolute. “No matter what, I’ll unmask the person behind this.”

Belinda held his gaze, her expression unreadable. “Lucas, thank you for finding all this out. But from this point on, I’ll handle the investigation myself.”

Lucas’ expression hardened. “What’s that supposed to mean? Why are you refusing my help now?”

Belinda’s face remained calm, her voice firm. “We’re already divorced, Lucas. There is also no future for us. I don’t want to drag you into this any further.”

“No future for us? That is not true!” Lucas couldn’t accept what Belinda had just said. “Belinda, I’ve already told you. No matter the outcome, infected or not, it doesn’t change anything. I still want to be with you. Why won’t you believe me?”

Belinda’s response was cold. “Because I don’t want to be with you.”

When Lucas heard those words, his eyes narrowed intensely, and his breath hitched for a moment.

Before he had the chance to respond, Belinda’s cold, composed voice echoed once more. “Lucas, my feelings for you faded a long time ago. Are you oblivious to the fact that your incessant meddling only brings me trouble? Please keep your distance from me from this day forward, alright?”
