Chapter 510:
But before Harold could finish speaking, Belinda cut him off.
“There’s no way Lucas and I can get back together. You can forget about this,” Belinda stated with utmost seriousness. Her tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.
Harold’s eyes widened in surprise. He sensed something was off with Belinda’s attitude. “Belinda, what’s wrong? Did something happen last night?” After a brief moment of silence, Harold asked gently, his voice filled with concern.
“No,” Belinda replied calmly. “Harold, I’m always open to having a meal with you, but please, don’t invite Lucas again.”
Hearing this, Harold sighed, resigned. What else could he say?
“Alright, I won’t invite him next time,” he said.
“Okay.” Belinda nodded and spoke with Harold for a few more moments before ending the call.
Feeling unwell, she decided not to go to work and called in sick. After returning to her room, she took a shower, carefully avoiding her wound, and went back to bed.
Nightmares had disrupted her sleep the previous night, making it feel as if she hadn’t slept at all. She needed rest now.
After ending the call with Belinda, Harold immediately dialed Lucas’ number.
“Hello.”

The call rang for a long time before Lucas answered.
Harold got straight to the point. “What exactly happened last night? Belinda just told me not to create any more opportunities for you two to meet. Why did she say that?”
When Lucas heard this, his expression shifted subtly. “I know Belinda wouldn’t say something like that without a reason!”
Harold’s tone turned serious. “Dad…”
When Harold heard Lucas call him that, his expression stiffened.
It had been ages since Lucas had called him like that.
Harold responded, slightly awkwardly, “Why are you calling me that?”
Sitting in his car, Lucas stared ahead, his eyes distant. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “I messed things up this time.”
When Harold heard this, his expression darkened. “What exactly happened?” he asked.
Lucas remained silent before abruptly ending the call.
This left Harold feeling even more unsettled. Both Lucas and Belinda were acting strangely.
Determined to uncover the truth, Harold picked up his phone and instructed Gordon to come to the Clark family estate immediately.
In a VIP room at the Grand Plains General Hospital, Harold entered, immediately noticing the change in expression from both Ryan and Verena.
