BossNovelChapter 1740:
“What happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?” Jazmine’s voice carried a note of worry.
Belinda reassured her, “There’s no visible damage so far. | had a CT scan done, but I'm still waiting for the
results. The doctor recommended I rest my hand for a couple of days, avoid heavy lifting or overuse.”
Jazmine chided gently, “You need to be more cautious, Belinda. You are a surgeon and a pianist. Do you realize
how important your hands are?”
Belinda replied softly, “I know. It was just a minor accident. Don’t worry; I'll take good care of my hands.”
Jazmine let out a soft sigh. “Alright, just focus on recovering. Try to keep up with your piano practice if you can,
and letknow the moment you get the results of the CT scan.”
“Okay, | will!” Belinda promised.
After a brief chat, Belinda ended the call.
That evening, as Belinda and Lucas lay in bed, he pulled her close, his arms wrapped tightly around her.
His low, gravelly voice rumbled in her ear. “Belinda, tell me, when you ran out to save Carola today, what was
going through your mind? Did you even consider yourself, or me?”
His words revealed he was still troubled by the day’s events.
Belinda pressed her lips together for a moment, searching for an answer. “Lucas, | don’t have a clear explanation
for that, because I'm not even sure why | acted when Carola was in danger. It was pure instinct. When the
robbers targeted Kylee, | didn’t move or think about saving her at all.”

She wasn’t a saint, and given her strained relationship with Kylee, risking her life for her was unthinkable.
After a pause, Belinda continued, “But when Kylee pushed Carola toward the robbers, and their leader seemed
set on taking her, one thought consumed me. | couldn't let anything happen to Carola, no matter what. Before |
knew it, my body moved, and I rushed over to save her. That's how it happened.”

After Lucas heard Belinda’s words, his brow creased faintly.
He fixed his gaze on her and said, “Belinda, you seem very invested in Carola’s well-being...”
Belinda understood what he meant and nodded. “You're right. | feel a unique bond with her. Honestly, if it
weren't for her, my days with the Wright family would have been even tougher. So, consider this my way of
giving back for how she protectedback then.”
She turned to Lucas, her tone
earnest. ‘l know | acted rashly today,
Lucas. But... if | could turn back fire.

only had one gun. | figured if | could
disarm them, my good fighting skills
might givea shot at taking them

Lucas’ face clouded over, his
disapproval evident as he countered
sharply, “Sure, they onl had ene-gun.

His voice grew heavier with every word, fear creeping in. “What if those robbers saw you as a threat and shot
you on the spot? What then?”
