Chapter 1039:

“There's nothing to worry about! Holley has already been kicked out by you,” Belinda said. She then gestured

toward her bedroom door. “Besides, from today onward, I'll make sure to lock my door every night before going

to sleep. That way, nothing like that will ever happen again.”

Lucas frowned, wanting to say more, but before he could, Belinda interrupted him. “That's final! You are not

moving in here!”

Lucas’ expression darkened. He looked at Belinda with a frown.

“There's no room for negotiation,” Belinda said, her tone firm. After a brief pause, she softened her tone slightly.

“Just stop worrying so much. Nothing bad will happen to me. Margie is someone Mollie trusts completely, so

there won't be any issues.”

Lucas clenched his jaw, clearly displeased, but after thinking for a while, he relented. Still, just the thought of

Holley made his face cloud over again.

In a private dining room of Harlequin Eats, Vincent sat beside Ryan. Ryan spoke first. “Vincent, was there a

particular reason you invited Verena andto a meal today?”

Vincent didn’t beat around the bush. “You both know about Belinda’s situation, right?”

Ryan and Verena exchanged a look before nodding. “Yes, we do,” Ryan replied.

After a pause, Ryan asked, “Vincent, | heard that Belinda has a high risk of infection. Is that true?”

Vincent replied, “No one can say for sure until the final blood test results are in.”

Verena hesitated before speaking. “Then... If—just hypothetically—Belinda is diagnosed with HIV, does that

mean... she and Lucas could never be together?”

The moment the words left Verena’s mouth, Vincent's expression hardened. His sharp gaze locked onto her.

“Verena, even after all this time, you are still thinking about Lucas? Are you unable to let go?” Verena remained

silent; however, her expression told Vincent the answer.

Vincent let out a slow sigh before saying, “It's not just Belinda. Lucas... He's at risk of infection, too.”

“What?” Ryan's eyes widened in shock.

Verena'’s body went rigid. “What do you mean by that?”

Vincent leaned back in his chair. “In order to prove his devotion to Belinda, Lucas bit her lip, drawing blood

intentionally. He wanted to prove to Belinda that he would stay by her side no matter what.” A heavy silence fell

over the table.

Verena felt her chest tighten, her mind spinning. Her face instantly turned pale.

“Vincent... Is what you are saying true?” Ryan asked, his voice tight with disbelief.

Vincent's gaze remained steady. “Do you honestly think | would lie about something like this?”

Ryan fell into silence, his thoughts reeling. As for Verena, she was completely frozen. At that moment, it was as if

her ears had stopped working—nothing registered except the deafening ringing in her head.

“Has Lucas completely lost his mind? Does he not realize the danger? Belinda could already be infected! We're

talking about HIV! A deadly, incurable disease!” Ryan exclaimed in shock.
