?Chapter 1611:


    Back in their room, neither said a word.


    Belinda curled into Lucas’s arms. He wrapped her gently in his embrace, his eyes quietly fixed on her face.


    But his gaze was distant, his thoughts drifting elsewhere.


    Then his eyes narrowed slightly, as though a decision had taken shape in his mind.


    Because of the incident earlier, they didn’t feel like making love anymore. They both fell asleep not long after lying down.


    The next morning.


    Belinda didn’t bother with breakfast at home. She got up early, left the house, and arrived at the hospital well ahead of time.


    As she made her way to the cafeteria, she slipped in her earphones and initiated a group call.


    A few secondster, Bethany and Johnson picked up.


    “What’s going on?” Bethany asked, her voice still tinged with sleep. “Why the early call? Did something happen?”


    Belinda exhaled slowly and went straight to the point. “Tonight, when Fayees home, I will tell her to move out.”


    Bethany gasped. “Whoa, really? What did she do this time?” Even Johnson couldn’t help but frown slightly.


    For Belinda to react this way, Faye must have crossed a serious line.


    “Bethany, you were right all along,” Belinda said, her voiceced with resignation.


    She paused for a moment, inhaling deeply, then continued, “Last night, Lucas and I were just about to… well, you know, get a little intimate. Then, Faye came knocking on our door again!”


    Bethany’s and Johnson’s expressions shifted in unison at that.


    Your next journey starts at g?lnσν???s???o??


    “Oh my God. She’s really…” Bethany faltered, at a loss for words to describe Faye.


    “What was her excuse this time?” Johnson asked, his toneced with disbelief.


    Belinda painted a vivid picture of the previous night’s dramatic events, sharing every excruciating detail with Bethany and Johnson.


    After absorbing the entire ount, Bethany scoffed, “Oh, how absolutely brilliant! This time, Faye knocked on your door wearing the perfect mask of concern for Gwenda’s well-being! How could anyone possibly find fault with that? What a masterfully executed n!”


    “She caused all thismotion over merely some sneezes?” Johnson’s expression twisted into something indescribable, caught between disbelief and exasperation.


    Belinda said, “Yeah. I personally examined my grandmother from head to toe and found absolutely nothing concerning. She herself insisted she felt perfectly fine throughout the entire ordeal.”


    Bethany unleashed a string of curses before saying, “This situation has bepletely intolerable! I warned you yesterday to send Faye packing, but you refused to heed my advice.”


    “I’ve really reached my absolute breaking point! She must pack her belongings and leave this house! If she stays under this roof even one more day, I’ll lose everyst shred of my sanity!” Belinda dered through clenched teeth.
