?<strong>Chapter 752:</strong>


    “Exactly!” Kenia chimed in enthusiastically. “Your mother may be timid and fearful of pain, but when ites to safeguarding you, she doesn’t hesitate for a second.” Holley chuckled alongside Kenia.


    Throughout the exchange, Belinda’s gaze remained fixated on Holley’s expression.


    She noticed how utterlyposed Holley appeared while uttering those words—there was no indication of anything amiss behind her demeanor.


    This realization made Belinda feel an unsettling disquietude within her.


    Holley’s facade had reached this level of mastery.


    At that moment, Belinda found herself at a loss for words to articte the turmoil brewing within her heart.


    “Grandma, Mom, I’m feeling weary. I think I’ll head back to my room to rest now,” Belinda announced abruptly, rising to her feet with an urgency that belied her fatigue.


    She feared that lingering any longer might lead her to reveal too much about the confusion swirling in her mind.


    “Alright, go ahead,” Kenia replied gently, nodding in agreement.


    That night, Belinda found herself unable to sleep.


    Her thoughts spiraled endlessly through memories—vivid snapshots of Holley caring for her during childhood danced before her eyes like flickering mes.


    Her emotions were inplete disarray.


    She felt tremendously conflicted at this moment.


    Who was Holley really? The nurturing mother, or someone cloaked in secrets?


    Unable to reach a conclusion amidst the chaos of her thoughts, she forced herself to cease pondering the matter further.


    After countless turns in bed and futile attempts to find sce in sleep, she finally sumbed to a restless slumber.


    The news Lucas had conveyed to Belinda had cast a long shadow over her heart.


    For two consecutive days now, she had been unable to summon any energy.


    During these two days spent at Vera Vis, she attempted to observe Holley closely—hoping to catch any signs of odd behavior from Holley.


    However, Holley appeared entirely normal in every respect.


    Holley seemed to care for her as usual, constantly worried about her well-being.


    Especially regarding her rtionship with Lucas—Holley’s anxiety reached new heights.


    She repeatedly urged Belinda not to be soft-hearted and to avoid getting back together with Lucas, warning her not to make the same mistake again.


    Belinda couldn’t discern if Holley’s concern was rooted in genuine love, or if there lurked an ulterior motive beneath it all.


    At the Burke family’s residence,


    In recent days, Minna had adopted an exceedinglypliant demeanor. Even when Moshe exhibited his more violent tendencies toward her, she reacted differently than usual; there was no fire left in her eyes.


    This transformation surprised and pleased Moshe greatly.


    Moshe lifted Minna’s chin delicately with one finger and stroked her cheek.
