Chapter 268
Chapter 268:
Ryan stood in place, watching Lucas leave in the hallway. His brows furrowed deeply, confusion settling over his features.
What was going on?
This approach had always worked before.
Lucas had never been so distant and dismissive like this.
Why wasn’t it working now?
A thought crept into Ryan’s mind, darkening his expression.
Could it be because of Belinda?
The possibility gnawed at Ryan, and for a moment, frustration flickered in his eyes.
But then, his gaze shifted, and a sly grin curved his lips as he remembered the photos he had just taken.
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his phone, scrolling through the images to confirm their clarity.
Satisfied, he sent them directly to Belinda.
Ryan smirked, imagining Belinda’s reaction.
Whatever it would be, it promised to be…
Interesting.

Slipping his phone back into his pocket, Ryan turned and entered the hospital room.
As soon as Verena saw Ryan, her eyes brimmed with tears, her despair evident.
“Ryan, what should I do now?†she asked, her voice cracking.
Her vulnerable tone tugged slightly at Ryan.
He had never seen her like this before—so vulnerable and hurt.
“I can feel that Lucas is growing more and more impatient with me,†Verena added, her hands twisting nervously in her lap.
Ryan moved closer, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry,†he said softly, his voice low and measured.
But he had noticed it, too—Lucas was growing distant from Verena.
Biting her lip anxiously, Verena pressed on, her voice dropping to a whisper. “You must have noticed it, too—Lucas and Belinda, they…â€
At that moment, Verena took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly as her breathing grew shallow. “I’m really scared Lucas won’t want to divorce Belinda now… What am I supposed to do if that happens?â€
Ryan’s face hardened, a shadow crossing his features. “Our top priority now is to destroy their relationship.
We can’t let them get any closer,†he said firmly, his voice resolute.
“But… How do we do that?†Verena asked hesitantly, her eyes searching his face for answers.
Ryan pressed his lips together for a moment, his tone taking on a cryptic edge. “Don’t worry.
I have a plan.â€
