?<strong>Chapter 1093:</strong>


    If they suddenly imed the previous results had been falsified and that she was, in fact, uninfected, some might start to question things.


    They might question whether Belinda was genuinely in the clear, or if Lucas had exerted his influence to fabricate a different oue.


    By documenting the entire process, they would eliminate any doubts.


    Belinda understood the reasoning behind these precautions and acquiesced.


    With that, Lucas, Belinda, and Caiden left the director’s office together.


    “Oh, Belinda, you’re okay! I can’t tell you how relieved I am!” Caiden exhaled deeply once they stepped outside.


    Since Belinda’s diagnosis, he had been gued with sadness.


    “Yes!” Belinda smiled warmly, nodding in agreement.


    Upon reaching theboratory, Belinda calmly underwent the blood draw once more.


    This time, from the moment the needle pricked her skin, a camera was rolling, documenting every step of the procedure.


    Once the sample was collected and sent for testing, the cameraman followed closely behind, ensuring not a single detail was left unrecorded.


    Since the results would take a few hours, Belinda and Lucas chose to leave for the time being.


    As they made their way toward Kenia’s ward, Lucas nced at Belinda and asked in a probing tone, “Belinda, do you think I was too ruthless with Diego?”


    Belinda faced Lucas and replied, “Absolutely not. I understand you’re using him as an example to deter others. You’re sending a clear message: if anyone dares to target me in secret, Diego will serve as their cautionary tale!”

    She exhaled sharply, her cheeks puffing out in frustration, and added, “Honestly, I wouldn’t mind taking Diego down myself! He has no clue how catastrophic his actions could have been for me! Whatever his reasons were, as a medical professional, he shouldn’t have done that! So no, you didn’t do anything wrong!”


    Initially, when Lucas issued his orders, Belinda had been shocked. Seeing Diego on his knees, weeping and begging, she had felt a brief pang of sympathy…


    But that fleetingpassion had disappeared almost instantly.


    True, Diego hadn’t acted out of greed; he had been coerced for his son’s sake.


    Still, no justification could excuse his actions. They were unforgivable!


    And so, Belinda felt no sympathy for him now.


    Hearing her words, Lucas smiled softly and took her hand.


    He had always known she would understand him.


    Together, they visited Kenia’s hospital room, sharing a warm conversation before Belinda gently nudged Lucas to return to work.


    Lucas agreed with a nod.


    Kenia, seeing Belinda now, felt nothing but relief.


    Her eyes softened as she said, “Belinda, I can see how genuinely happy you are now. That brings me so much joy! But remember, no matter how deeply you love someone, never lose yourself. Don’t change who you are just to please the one you love. Do you understand?”


    Belinda knew Kenia’s concern stemmed from her past tendency to reshape herself to meet Lucas’ expectations.


    She nodded resolutely and assured Kenia, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I won’t do something like that again!”


    She was confident in this. And she believed Lucas loved her for who she truly was, ws and all.
