Chapter 844:
“I’m feeling much better now,” Lucas replied.
Mollie turned her gaze to Belinda.
“Belinda, you and Darren step outside for a bit. I need a word with Mr. Clark.”
Belinda hesitated, her eyes flickering to Lucas with subtle concern. Catching the look, Mollie raised an eyebrow.
“What? You think I’d be harsh to someone who’s injured?”
Belinda flushed slightly, fumbling for an explanation.
“No, Mollie, I was just worried he had been sitting up too long and might get tired.”
Lucas chuckled softly, his gaze reassuring.
“I’m fine, really. Don’t worry about me.”
Belinda nodded.
“Alright. Mollie, you two can talk. Darren and I will step out.”
She then walked out of the room with Darren, closing the door behind them.
Inside, Mollie sat down on the chair near the bed.
Her expression was calm but held a firmness that didn’t invite small talk.
“Mr. Clark, our family is truly grateful for what you’ve done for Belinda. But… that’s all.”
Lucas looked at Mollie, his expression serious.
Mollie said, “We also don’t approve of you and Belinda being together. Belinda has been hurt by you far too many times. Her heart has been shattered by you more times than I can count. We don’t want her to fall into the same trap again.”
Lucas, however, gave a sudden smile, his eyes gleaming with a quiet confidence.
“You can’t know if it’s a trap or something else unless you take the leap,” he said, meeting Mollie’s gaze.
His voice was firm as he continued, “Mrs. Thomas, because I’ve hurt Belinda before and lost her, I now understand the importance of cherishing her and the relationship we’ve worked so hard for. Please believe me when I say that I love her. If she’s willing to trust me again, if she gives me another chance, I will treat her better than I ever did. I will never let her get hurt again.”
His tone was serious as he spoke.
Mollie paused, caught off guard by the weight of his words. After a long silence, she finally managed to ask, “You… You love her?”
Lucas didn’t hesitate. His expression was unwavering.
“Yes, I love her. It wasn’t until I saw Belinda in danger that I realized how much she means to me.”
He let out a deep breath, his voice full of conviction.
“My feelings for her have gone far beyond just liking her. She’s the one I’d risk my life for.”
