As they walked out of the doctor's office, Bethany turned to Belinda and said, “Con, I'm going with you to
your department to ensure you take leave tomorrow.”
Belinda gave a resigned smile, saying, “Fine, I'll skip tomorrow’s surgery. I'll ask the department’s deputy
director to cover for me.”
Bethany gave an approving nod. “That's the spirit. But words alone won't cut it — I'm coming upstairs with you
to make sure you hand over the case.”
Understanding Bethany’s concern for her, Belinda didn’t argue and simply agreed, “Okay, I'll do as you say. But

like that before.
After holding each other close for several heartbeats, Belinda and Lucas remembered they were standing in a
public space, so they reluctantly released their embrace.

Lucas grasped Belinda’s hand and guided her toward a bench positioned on the quieter side of the area.
He held her hand tightly, his voice trembling with worry as he asked, “Where did you get hurt?”
“I'm completely unharmed. Just look atright now—I’m bursting with vitality and absolutely fine!” Belinda
responded with hasty reassurance.
Bethany spoke up. “Her wrist underwent a CT scan just moments ago, and we're still waiting for the results to
determine if there’s any real damage. Either way, the doctor instructed her to monitor her hand vigilantly over
the next few days—no heavy lifting and no rapid or repetitive movements.”
