Belinda gently dabbed at Kenia’s tears with a tissue. “Please, don’t cry. Right now, your health is what matters
most.”
Kenia shook her head. “I'm fine. I'm just worried about you. You didn’t tellthe truth earlier; you lied to me.”
Her tone carried a mix of frustration and concern.
Belinda bit her lip, then said, “I just didn’t want to worry you. | was going to tell you the truth when the twas
right, but... things didn’t go as planned.”
At that moment, Lucas spoke up. “Kenia, don’t worry. I'm here for Belinda. I'll take care of her.”

It was Caiden. He quickly greeted them.
Then, turning to Belinda, he said, “Let's talk.”
Belinda nodded to Lucas. “Wait here for me.”

“You know about my blood test results, right?” Belinda asked.
“Yes, | do,” Caiden nodded, his expression turning sad. “Star, I'm sorry for what happened.”

Belinda pressed her lips together for a moment before answering, “It’s complex between Kylee and me. She
arranged for the AIDS patient, ensuring his family concealed his condition.”
“That's monstrous! Absolutely vile!” Caiden exclaimed, visibly angered.
Belinda remained silent for a moment before facing Caiden once more. “Given my situation, | can’t continue to
be a doctor in this hospital. I—"
“You don’t have to make that decision right now,” Caiden interjected before she could finish. “Even HIV carriers

As she spoke, Belinda felt her nose tingle and her eyes blur with tears.
At that moment, she fully grasped how deeply she cherished her career. The thought of never entering an
operating room again tore at her heart, overwhelming her with suffocating pain.
