Chapter 1424:
While Belinda stood in the kitchen, waiting for the kettle to heat, Faye’s desperate screams shattered the quiet
from the living room. Belinda froze for a split second before rushing out.
As she reached the living room, Faye’s pleas grew more frantic. “Belinda, please, make Uncle Lucas release me!”
The sight before her left Belinda momentarily speechless, a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Without wasting a moment, she stepped forward and gently touched Lucas’ hand, the one clamped tightly
around Faye’s wrist.
“Lucas, release her,” she said softly, her voice calm.
Her words seemed to reach Lucas. His tense expression softened, and his grip on Faye loosened as he complied.

worries about anyone taking advantage of him when he was out drinking.
Soon, Faye returned with the water.
Belinda took the cup, checked its temperature, and turned to Lucas. “Con, Lucas, drink this.”
She gently propped him up, one hand steadying his neck, the other guiding the cup to his mouth.

Belinda’s eyes flickered briefly, but she didn’t say anything about it.
After settling Lucas onto the bed, she let out a long breath.
