His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1171:

After a brief moment of contemplation, Belinda responded, “Alright, but I’ll need to consult with your doctor first. If he approves, then we’ll proceed with your discharge.”

“Okay,” Kenia replied.

Following a discussion with Kenia’s doctor, Belinda received confirmation that the doctor, too, believed home would be a better environment for Kenia’s recovery. Prolonged hospitalization could take an emotional toll on patients, and since there were no major health concerns, recuperating in a familiar and comfortable setting was deemed the best course of action.

With the doctor’s approval, Belinda agreed to the discharge. The next day, she completed all necessary formalities and prepared to take Kenia home.

Holley intended to accompany them, but Kenia immediately rejected the idea.

“There’s no need for you to come along! Belinda will take care of me,” Kenia said coldly. Without sparing another glance at Holley, she turned to Belinda. “Let’s go, dear.”

“Alright,” Belinda had no objections and gently guided Kenia out of the hospital ward.

Watching them leave, Holley clenched her teeth, her expression darkening with frustration.noveldrama

Before taking Kenia home, Belinda made a stop at the Thomas estate to request a caregiver from Mollie. Given her complicated situation with Lucas, she was cautious about hiring an outsider who might be easily bribed.

She had to be extremely cautious about this. After all, it wasn’t just her and Lucas in the house anymore—Kenia would stay with them, too. Ensuring her safety was paramount.

Belinda specifically sought out a trusted caregiver from the Thomas family, as their reliability was well-established. As for why she didn’t consider getting a caregiver from the Clark family, it was because of Kane. His deep-seated animosity toward Lucas made the idea unfeasible.

Worried that Kenia might struggle with the transition, Belinda took a short leave from work, staying home for the first couple of days after Kenia’s discharge from the hospital to ensure she settled in comfortably. Only when she was certain that Kenia had no difficulty adapting did she return to her duties at the hospital.

That day, Baker summoned Holley to his place. The moment Holley stepped inside, she asked urgently, “Baker, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Lamont ran away!” Baker’s voice was grave, his expression grim.

“W-What?” Holley’s face paled instantly.

After much deliberation, Baker had made the ruthless decision—he would find someone to kill Lamont. As long as Lamont was alive, he posed a perpetual threat. His existence jeopardized everything. Killing him was the only way to erase the problem entirely. After everything was ready, Baker had sent people to take action last night. But unexpectedly… Lamont had run away.

“How did this happen?” Holley asked, her voice laced with disbelief. “You sent three men after him, didn’t you?”

How could three trained individuals fail to kill Lamont?

“I have no idea how this happened.” Baker shook his head, his face clouded with uncertainty. “My men watched Lamont enter his house, and they never saw him leave. They waited until nightfall and made their move… But the moment they broke in, Lamont was nowhere to be found. They searched every corner of the house, but there was no trace of him. They’ve been monitoring the surrounding area ever since, yet he hasn’t been spotted.”
