Chapter 85:

Belinda had spent the entire night in the emergency room at the hospital.

By the next morning, she woke up to find Darren at her side, his eyes red and weary.

“Darren, how are you holding up?”

As she woke, he swiftly pressed the call button next to the bed and grasped her hand with evident excitement. “Is your stomach still aching? Are you feeling any better now?”

Darren trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging.

Belinda understood his implication.

She managed a weak smile and responded, “Thank God you came just in time. I feel a lot better now,” Belinda said, trying to pull her hand out of Darren’s hold.

However, his grip was firm, and her strength faltered against it.
