Chapter 533

Chapter 533:
“Belinda, please, believe me; I really didn’t mean to do that!” Holley said, reaching out to grasp Belinda’s hand.
But Belinda swiftly shook her off.
“I have work to do; I need to go now,” Belinda stated flatly and turned to leave.
As Belinda walked away, Holley allowed a slight smirk to play across her lips.
When Belinda entered the doctors’ office, the chatter in the room abruptly ceased, and all eyes turned to her.
Their faces were a blend of pity, sympathy, and awkwardness.
Taking a deep breath to manage the rising frustration inside her, Belinda composed herself.
As she sat down, two doctors quickly approached her. “Dr. Wright, are you okay?” they asked, their concern evident.
“I am fine,” Belinda replied calmly, maintaining a neutral expression.
“Dr. Wright, don’t try to tough it out. Anyone in your situation would be deeply affected. For us women, this is really a serious matter,” one doctor said, reaching out to gently pat Belinda’s shoulder in a gesture of comfort.
Belinda looked at her and said, “I’m really fine! The man, I fought him off. He didn’t succeed.”
The doctor nodded, her face reflecting understanding. “Alright, I get it. You’re fine. We all agree that the fewer people who know about this, the better. Don’t worry; we won’t spread it around.”
“Yes, Dr. Wright, we’ll keep it confidential for you,” another doctor added quickly.

Belinda took a deep breath and fell silent.
She knew that no matter how much she tried to explain, no one would believe her now.
To everyone else, she was already marked as a victim.
She felt utterly powerless.
A deep sense of helplessness suddenly engulfed her.
Even though Belinda reminded herself repeatedly that she couldn’t control others’ words and that their opinions didn’t matter as long as she knew the truth, the stares of everyone in the department—doctors, nurses, patients, and their families—still weighed heavily on her.
At noon, Lucas arrived at the hospital to bring lunch to Belinda.
After parking his car, he made his way to the elevator.
As he walked, he overheard a conversation between two doctors.
“Hey! Did you hear about that incident with Dr. Wright from the Cardiac Surgery Department?” one male doctor said.
Lucas’ eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard that.
They were talking about Belinda?
“I heard it! It’s the talk of the Grand Plains General Hospital now.
