Chapter 1607
Belinda’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She shook her head. “No, they’re both curious about who could have done this.”
Lucas maintained his contemplative silence, his expression revealing layers of complicated emotions.
After a while, he softened his voice. “I’ve sent people to closely monitor those who went looking for Faye that night. Let’s see if there will be any breakthrough.”
“Alright,” Belinda responded with a single nod of understanding.
Lucas found himself unable to suppress a deep, weary sigh that seemed to emerge from the very depths of his soul, his voice carrying a potent mixture of self-reproach and frustration. “I made you a solemn promise that I wouldn’t allow you to suffer harm again, but here we find ourselves—”
Belinda quickly interjected, “It was an accident. You really shouldn’t blame yourself. How could you possibly predict every dangerous scenario that might unfold anyway? You’ve already done a great job protecting me.”
Lucas gazed deeply into Belinda’s eyes with an intensity that seemed to peer directly into her soul, maintaining this profound silence for what felt like an eternity.
Eventually, he leaned his body toward her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
The kiss was filled with tenderness and affection.
Belinda’s lips curved upward into a contented smile as she nestled herself deeper into Lucas’s embrace.
After a while, she feigned curiosity and said, “By the way, Lucas, I’m curious about something. I feel like Georgie is very doting on Faye. I’m wondering whether Georgie experienced significant difficulties during Faye’s birth? Or perhaps it was hard for her to conceive Faye in the first place?”
Lucas didn’t suspect anything. He nodded. “Indeed. Georgie and her husband were married for three years without having a child. They visited countless hospitals for check-ups, and although both were healthy, they just couldn’t have a baby for some reason. They tried all sorts of methods and even considered IVF. Eventually, one of Harold’s friends told them about a psychic who lived in the mountains. Harold’s friend said his daughter-in-law couldn’t conceive until she visited this…
The psychic followed his advice. Remarkably, three months later, she got pregnant.
He took a deep breath and continued, “So Georgie and her husband decided to give it a try. That mysterious man informed them that their future child apparently preferred an entirely different environment, which explained their previous inability to conceive successfully. He strongly advised them to relocate to Blaystan immediately and avoid all contact with other family members for a year. Everyone expressed skepticism about this unusual advice initially. But surprisingly, after they moved, Georgie got pregnant within two months.”
He paused for a moment. “Because of this, Georgie and her husband believed that man’s words and stayed in Blaystan for a year without seeing any other family members. When they finally returned, Faye had already made her entrance into the world. Faye represented a genuine miracle to them. Georgie and her husband have always been very protective of Faye.”
After Belinda absorbed Lucas’s thorough explanation, her expression transformed into something complex.
Belinda felt absolutely convinced that Faye was indeed Georgie’s biological daughter and also Lucas’s niece by blood, which meant her previous speculation had been wrong.
