His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1382:

By the time she finished everything, she was utterly drained.

She fell asleep right at her desk in the doctor’s office.

Fortunately, nothing else came up during the last hour of her shift. In the morning, after other doctors arrived and completed the handover, Belinda finally finished her shift.

The moment she entered the parking lot, she spotted Lucas leaning against his car, waiting for her. Belinda ran up to him and rushed into his arms.

Breathing in the comforting scent of Lucas, which always soothed her, Belinda felt her weariness begin to dissolve.

“What’s the matter?” Lucas asked softly, his arm slipping around her waist.

Belinda pressed her face into his chest, her voice gentle. “I’m just worn out; I handled two surgeries today.”

“You must be exhausted,” Lucas said, planting a kiss on her forehead before lifting her into his arms. He carried her to his car.

Belinda drifted off in the passenger seat before they even reached home.

Lucas carried her from the car to their bedroom.

She didn’t stir the whole time.

With Lucas by her side, she felt completely safe.

She slept deeply, not waking until after three in the afternoon.noveldrama

Rubbing her eyes after waking up, she sat up in bed.

Grabbing her phone, she unmuted it and saw multiple messages and missed calls. All the calls were from one person.

Belinda quickly called back.

“Hey, Mollie,” she said. The calls had come from Mollie.

“Sweetheart, you’re awake?” Mollie’s voice was warm.

Unable to reach Belinda earlier, Mollie had spoken to Lucas, who had explained Belinda’s night shift and need for rest.

“Yeah,” Belinda replied. “What’s up, Mollie? Do you need something?”

“Are you free now? Can you come over to my place?” Mollie asked.

“You and Santino are back from your trip?” Belinda asked, smiling.

Santino had whisked Mollie away for a two-week vacation recently.

“We just got back today,” Mollie replied.

“Alright, I’ll freshen up and head over now,” Belinda said.

After hanging up, she got ready and drove to the Thomas family’s home.
