Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440:
Faye shook her head.
“Then you should go. I’ve got work to finish.”
Without another word, Faye turned and left.
Lucas then turned his focus back to work.
That evening, after wrapping up, he drove straight to Grand Plains General Hospital to pick up Belinda.
As they headed home, Lucas glanced at her and asked, “Belinda, did Faye visit you?”
At Lucas’s words, Belinda paused, momentarily caught off guard. Then, with a small smile, she said, “How did you know?”
“Faye came to my office today,” Lucas said calmly. “She wanted to talk about the matter. Apparently, both you and Vincent had spoken to her about maintaining some boundaries.”
“Oh?” Belinda’s brows drew together slightly, a flicker of irritation surfacing in her expression.
Was Faye really trying to complain about her to Lucas?
“What did you say to her?” Belinda asked.
Lucas gave her a reassuring smile. “Naturally, I stood by your side. I told her that her behavior was inappropriate and advised her to be more mindful going forward. She agreed.”
Belinda didn’t respond immediately. She knew Faye—outward compliance didn’t always mean she would change. Deep down, she suspected the girl still held resentment, likely blaming her for the situation.
But it didn’t bother her. She was pleased with the outcome, and that was all that mattered.
As they waited at a red light, Lucas turned toward Belinda, his expression earnest. “Belinda, if I ever do anything that makes you unhappy, promise me you’ll tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself, alright?”

Belinda laughed softly and nodded without hesitation. “I will. Don’t worry.”
She understood that Lucas said this because he cared about her deeply.
So, she felt very happy and smiled.
Seeing her smile, Lucas also broke into a smile.
Belinda didn’t dwell on the matter.
Lucas had made his stance clear, and that, to her, meant everything.
Knowing that Belinda had an early surgery scheduled the next morning, Lucas was especially considerate that night. He simply held her in his arms and let her drift into a peaceful sleep.
The next day.
Belinda rose early and made her way to the hospital.
After a light breakfast, she scrubbed in and entered the operating room. The surgery went smoothly, wrapping up after just three hours. Once it was done, she took a short rest, got changed, and returned to her office.
