His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 575:

It was Holley.

“Belinda,” Holley said.

Belinda clutched her chest, still startled. “You scared me! What are you doing?”

Holley hurriedly apologized. “I’m sorry, Belinda. I didn’t mean to scare you. I wanted to talk to you, but I was afraid to go to your hospital, so I…”

Belinda inhaled deeply. “If you’re here to apologize to me, save it. I’m not interested.”

Her voice was icy, and she didn’t even look at Holley.

“Belinda, I know I messed up! Please, I’m begging you, forgive me. It’s painful being ignored by you,” Holley said, tears streaming down her face.

“I don’t want to talk about this right now. You should go,” Belinda said, turning to walk away.

But Holley quickly caught up with her and grabbed her hand. Tears in her eyes, she blurted out, “Do I need to kneel and beg for your forgiveness?”

Belinda’s expression hardened when she heard that.

“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to force me to forgive you by kneeling?” she asked coldly.

Holley panicked and quickly shook her head. “No, I didn’t mean it like that. I just—”

Her words were cut off by the blaring of a car horn.

Holley’s face changed as she noticed the imminent danger.

“Belinda, watch out!” She quickly pushed Belinda out of the way.

With a loud crash, a minivan struck Holley, sending her flying. Her body rolled across the ground before coming to a stop.

Belinda, who had been pushed aside, also fell to the ground.

Seeing Holley being hit by the car, Belinda screamed, “Mom!” She scrambled up and limped toward Holley, crouching down cautiously, her hands hesitating in the air. She didn’t dare touch Holley, worried about worsening any injuries.

Holley lay still, her face and hands scraped. Belinda feared she also had internal injuries.

At that moment, the bodyguard Lucas had assigned to protect Belinda rushed over. His expression was grave. He had recognized the woman with Belinda as her mother and had kept a watchful eye from a distance. However, he hadn’t anticipated such an accident.

When the bodyguard spoke to her, Belinda immediately realized he was one of Lucas’ men.

“Call an ambulance!” she said.

“Don’t worry; I already have,” the bodyguard replied.
