?<strong>Chapter 1083:</strong>


    Soon, everyone had gathered in the private room of a restaurant.


    “Belinda, do you have something to tell us?” Bethany was the first to ask, her curiosity evident.


    Belinda nced around the table. Everyone here had been with her that day, anxiously waiting for her blood test results.


    She felt a surge of gratitude. With friends like these, she truly was blessed.


    Belinda rose from her seat, holding up her ss of juice, and began to speak, her voice filled with emotion. “I just want to take a moment to thank you. Having you all in my life means the world to me, and I truly consider your friendship one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.”


    Before she could continue, Bethany quickly stood up, slinging an arm around her shoulders with a yful grin. “Oh,e on, why all the sentimental talk? That’s what friends are for; we’ve got each other’s backs, no questions asked.”


    Johnson raised his ss and stood as well, saying, “Bethany’s right! Let’s just raise a toast to friendship!”


    The group followed suit, lifting their sses, clinking them together, and then settling back into their seats.


    Belinda cleared her throat, drawing everyone’s attention once more. “Actually, I have some good news to share,” she announced, her tone shifting to one of excitement.


    “Good news?”


    “What kind of good news?”


    The room buzzed with curiosity.


    Given the circumstances, what could this good news possibly be?


    Vincent, unable to contain his curiosity, blurted out, “Did you and Lucas finally remarry?”


    “Really?”


    “Wait, is that true?”


    The room erupted in chatter, but Belinda froze, caught off guard by the question.


    Lucas, sitting beside her, let out a soft chuckle before shaking his head with a resigned smile. “I’m still waiting for her to agree to that.”


    Belinda shot him a sharp look before refocusing on the group.


    “No, that’s not it,” she said firmly. “The good news is—I’m not infected with HIV!”


    The room fell silent for a moment before erupting into exmations of disbelief and joy.


    “Are you serious?”


    Everyone leaped to their feet, their faces alight with a mix of shock and tion. Bethany leaned forward, her eyes wide. “What happened? Tell us everything!”


    Belinda reached into her bag and pulled out six blood test reports, handing them over to the group.


    “These are the results from different hospitals,” she exined.


    As everyone scanned the reports, their relief and happiness grew.


    This was the best news they could have hoped for!


    Once the initial excitement subsided, Darren’s expression turned serious as he looked at Belinda. “So, this means someone deliberately tampered with your first blood test results at the Grand ins General Hospital, doesn’t it?”


    “That must be it!”


    “But who would do something like that?”
