His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 1146:

“I did.” Belinda gave a small nod before tilting her head slightly. “Is that why you’re upset?”

Lucas’ expression darkened, his frustration barely contained. “You’ve been going to see him twice a day for the past several days. Every visit lasts over half an hour. On top of that, you’ve been personally arranging for the kitchen to send him special meals and nutritious soups daily.”

He exhaled sharply, his voice carrying an edge. “You’re taking such good care of him, treating him like he’s someone incredibly important to you. Have you ever stopped to think about how that makes me feel? Did it ever cross your mind that I might be jealous?”

After a pause, she continued, “And the food? I just want him to heal faster; that’s all.”

Lucas’ gaze remained cold. “I know he saved you. I haven’t forgotten that, and I won’t. I’ll repay that debt for you.”

Belinda sighed, rubbing her temples. “Yes, you’ve said that. But just because you intend to repay him in your own way, does that mean I should just ignore him altogether? Pretend nothing happened?
