Chapter 589:
With proper lighting, Lucas’ hand looked even worse than Belinda had initially assumed. Belinda took a deep breath before she started to carefully remove the glass shards, piece by piece.
“How on earth did he get this injury?” she grumbled.
“He crushed a wine glass in his hand,” Vincent explained.
Belinda said to Lucas, “What the hell were you even thinking?” Although her tone was sharp, her actions remained gentle.
“I was wrong for doing that,” Lucas said without hesitation.
His words made Belinda pause in surprise, but only for a few seconds. She then continued to tend to his wound in silence.
It took her a while, but she eventually removed all the glass shards. Still, she took Vincent’s phone and examined Lucas’ hand more closely to make sure she hadn’t missed anything.
When she grabbed the iodine to disinfect the wound, she didn’t hold back and applied more pressure than necessary. She wanted the pain to serve as a lesson to Lucas not to be reckless in the future.
However, Lucas didn’t even flinch. He remained completely still, his gaze still fixed on Belinda.
After a few more minutes, Belinda secured the bandages and finished the treatment.
When Belinda looked up, her expression was back to being cold and distant.

“I’m leaving now,” she said, getting to her feet.
She hadn’t even taken a step when she felt Lucas tugging at her sleeve. “Don’t go, Belinda…”
Belinda stiffened and turned her head. Lucas was looking up at her, his expression a blend of hope and vulnerability. His bloodshot eyes shimmered faintly. Perhaps due to the alcohol, his handsome face was flushed now.
“Belinda, you’ve already come here and treated Lucas’ wound. Maybe you could send him home as well.” Vincent’s smooth voice cut through the silence. “Lucas and I have both been drinking, so I can’t drive, and I can’t leave Lucas alone. It’s not safe. Besides, Lucas only wants you near him.”
Belinda clenched her teeth, her gaze shifting to Lucas. The thought of that plot of land flashed in her mind. She felt a complex mix of emotions.
“Fine. Just this once. This will be the last time I help Lucas!”
Fixing Lucas with a stern glare, she said coldly, “Get up. Let’s go.”
Lucas’ face broke into a goofy grin as he stood up. He swayed almost immediately, losing his balance.
Startled, Belinda darted forward to steady him, one hand grabbing his arm, the other wrapping around his waist.
Using this chance, Lucas pulled Belinda into his arms. Belinda staggered slightly before pushing him away with an irritated frown. “Stand properly!”
Lucas jerked upright immediately and looked at her nervously, as if afraid she might abandon him now.
