?<strong>Chapter 480:</strong>


    “Appearances are really deceiving, aren’t they?”


    “This Lucas being discussed, is he Lucas rk from the prestigious rk family?”


    “Oh my God! No way! That means Dr. Wright used to be Mr. rk’s wife?”


    “I just remembered something! Did you know Verena was Mr. rk’s ex-girlfriend? Their scandal was huge! I heard Mr. rk ended his marriage with Belinda after Belinda allegedly pushed Verena down from the second floor at Harold’s birthday party. The very next day, Mr. rk filed for divorce from Belinda!” This bit of gossip was blurted out by a rtive of a patient.


    “Is that true? Belinda sounds quite sinister, and she’s supposed to be a doctor? Talking about saving lives but acting like this? She’s really shameless!”


    A flurry of disdainful res and mocking jeers quickly followed, directed at Belinda.


    Amidst this, Verena couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction. This was the oue she had wanted—ruining Belinda’s reputation to the extent that she would be unable to stay in the hospital.


    Despite noticing the usatory stares and harsh whispers, Belinda’s demeanor remained unaffected, as though the person being discussed were not her.


    It was then that Verena, adopting a tone of false distress, turned to her and said, “Ms. Wright, now that you and Lucas are no longer married, can’t you just let us be?”


    “Yes, Dr. Wright, it’s time for you to stop obsessing over your ex-husband!”


    ???é?? ???t?€я? ?n Ga?n?νεl?.???


    “Exactly! Your actions are shameless!”


    “You already pushed Miss Reed down the stairs before. Isn’t that enough?”


    The harsh, scornful words pierced Belinda’s ears like sharp daggers.


    With deliberate steps, she moved closer to Verena.


    She came to a halt right in front of her, a faint smirk curling her lips as she said, “So, I stole your man? You think I’m still holding onto Lucas?”


    “Yes!” Verena responded, straightening up defiantly, her stance suggesting she felt entirely justified in her usation.


    Belinda gave a softugh and a nod.


    Without another word, she reached into the pocket of her white coat and pulled out her phone to make a call.


    Watching this, Verena felt a sudden wave of anxiety wash over her.


    Then, she heard Belinda say into the phone, “Mr. rk, could youe to the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Grand ins General Hospital right now?”


    Verena’s expression transformed in an instant when she heard this.


    Lucas’ concerned voice quickly came from the other end of the phone, “Why? Did something happen?”


    “You’ll see when you arrive.” Belinda ended the call abruptly before Lucas could inquire further.
