Chapter 1054:
Once Lucas dropped Belinda off at her place, he headed to the office.
Around noon, Belinda received two unexpected visitors.
She quickly greeted Nigel and Devin, surprised. “What brings you here?” she asked.
Nigel said, “I heard what happened, so I asked Harold for your address. I wanted to check on you.” He hesitated. “I hope we’re not intruding?”
“Of course not!” Belinda smiled warmly. “I appreciate you coming here to check on me.”
Nigel studied her, concern evident in his eyes. “You’ve lost weight. You look pale. Are you feeling alright now?”
Belinda reassured him with a wave of her hand. “I’m fine. The medication has strong side effects, but I’m already improving.”
His voice softened. “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”
Belinda nodded with a smile.
Devin remained silent, his gaze fixed on Belinda. When he noticed the exhaustion on her face, something twisted in his chest. Nigel talked with Belinda while Devin listened.
After half an hour, Nigel finally suggested they take their leave.
But just as they were about to go, Devin spoke. “Dr. Wright, can I talk to you in private?”
Belinda blinked, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected this at all.
After a moment’s thought, she nodded. “Okay.”

She then led Devin upstairs to the study, but when they entered, she left the door open.
Turning to face him, she got straight to the point. “Mr. Davidson, what do you want to discuss with me in private?”
Devin gazed at Belinda, his expression serious. “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a long time, but I kept holding back. Today, I want to take this chance to finally say it…”
His eyes locked on hers, earnest and determined.
He took a deep breath and confessed, “Belinda, I have feelings for you.”
Belinda was taken aback, her eyes widening in shock.
She questioned if she had misheard Devin.
Before she could respond, Devin continued, “Yes, Belinda, you heard me correctly. I really do have feelings for you! When you returned to the country, at the welcome banquet the Thomas family hosted for you, when you knelt down to perform that pericardiocentesis… I fell for you.”
Belinda was stunned once more.
The welcome banquet?
So Devin had also been there that night. He had fallen for her at first sight back then?
This seemed unbelievable!
Devin continued, “That night, I had someone find out more about you. That’s when I discovered—you were Lucas’ wife.”
His voice tinged with sadness, he confessed, “Learning that really shook me. It took me a long time to accept it. The emotions I felt back then… They were overwhelming. And because of who you were, I had to keep my feelings for you to myself. But I never expected that when my grandfather said he wanted to arrange a matchmaking meeting for me, that person I should meet would turn out to be you! That’s when I learned you and Lucas had already divorced.”
