“Lucas! Can't you see that Verena is injured?” Ryan exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.
Yet, Lucas seemed not to hear him, his gaze remaining steadily on Belinda.
Caught off guard, Belinda stared back at Lucas for a few seconds before looking away, her smirk still in place.
“There's no need for you to do that, Mr. Clark. You'd better get Miss Reed to a hospital quickly.”
Lucas then directed his attention towards Ryan. “You can take Verena to the hospital. I'll handle the medical

Verena’s complexion turned pale immediately. She was stunned that Lucas could remain so unaffected after
witnessing the assault.
He mentioned he would handle the hospital bills?

Her steps were clearly shaky.
Lucas watched her go, his brow furrowing deeply. Silently, he hastened to her side and lifted her into his arms.
“Lucas!” Belinda yelled in anger. “Letgo!”
She struggled, pushing and kicking against him.
Yet, Lucas carried on undeterred, his pace steady.
Belinda continued to struggle, her arms and legs flailing. “I told you to putdown! Lucas! Letdown!”
A slap resonated, momentarily paralyzing Belinda.
Lucas halted instantly.

During her frantic efforts, Belinda had accidentally hit Lucas across the face.
Shock registered on Belinda’s face, and a sense of guilt crept into her heart.
The others behind Belinda and Lucas stood frozen, their expressions filled with utter disbelief. Belinda had
actually slapped Lucas?
Everyone expected Lucas to be furious.
Yet, Lucas only looked at Belinda, his voice tinged with resignation, asking, “Are you feeling better now? Not
angry anymore?”
He believed Belinda’s outburst had stemmed from seeing him with Verena.
Belinda found herself at a loss for words.
