WantNovelChapter 1681:
Nalani, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, turned to Tamara. “Mom,” she said gently, “who do
you think wanted to sabotage the hypnosis?”
Tamara’s gaze hardened, her voice steady. “This needs to be investigated properly and without delay. Our first
step is to get in touch with that assistant.”
Nalani gave a small nod in agreement, her lips pressed into a thin line. She said nothing more as the weight of
the situation settled over them both.
The next day, since it was Saturday, both Lucas and Belinda didn’t have to work. They slept in, and after they
woke up, they freshened up and set off for the Clark family’s residence.
A spark of delight lit up Harold's and Norma's faces when they saw Lucas and Belinda arrive.
Faye also walked down the stairs with a bright smile, her steps quick. She approached Belinda and Lucas, her
eyes shining with joy. “Uncle Lucas, Belinda, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here today?”
Belinda returned the smile, her voice light. “Lucas and | both have the day off, so we thought it'd be the perfect

Harold, who had been quietly following the exchange, interjected, “You must never act so recklessly again, Faye.
If Lucas and Belinda hadn't shown up when they did, who knows what could have happened!”
He exhaled through his nose, tension visible in the tight set of his jaw. “You're not a child anymore; you're well
into your twenties. How can you still be so careless about your own safety?” He was still upset about the
incident.
Ever since he'd heard what had happened, he hadn't been able to shake the chilling thought of what could have
occurred if Lucas and Belinda hadn't saved Faye in time.
