WantNovelChapter 1689:
“Kylee, don’t say that.” Carola’s voice softened, her heart aching. “Look around—our world is changing, and
medicine has ca long way. HIV no longer means a death sentence. With consistent treatment and discipline,
many never develop symptoms at all. Besides, your grandfather has already founded a research institute
overseas. It's filled with top medical minds dedicated to HIV research. Maybe someday, a cure won't just be a
dream. So please, Kylee, don’t give up. Hold onto hope. Do you hear me?”
Carola’s words stirred something in Kylee—an odd mix of warmth, gratitude, and a spark of surprise. At that very
moment, her conviction deepened: under no circumstance could Carola discover her true identity. Because if the
truth ever surfaced, everything she had now could vanish.
With that thought anchored in her mind, Kylee nodded firmly. “Yes, | understand, Mom. I'll follow the doctor's

Belinda to the sofa and gently ushered her to sit beside him.
“Belinda, lately it seems like your attention has been everywhere but on me. Faye, Barbara, the Wrights... it feels
like it's been ages since we talked about us.” His tone carried a quiet trace of hurt.
“Us?” Belinda blinked her long lashes, a soft smile playing on her lips. “What do you want to talk about regarding
us?”

Lucas’s expression turned serious. His voice dipped low, husky with emotion. “Since we've been together, have
you felt happy? Content?”
“Absolutely,” Belinda responded without missing a beat. She reached up, cupping his chiseled face between her
palms, and leaned forward, planting a tender kiss on his lips. “Every day with you brings joy to me.” Her words
rang with honesty and affection.
A light danced in Lucas’s eyes when he heard her reply. He held her gaze, eyes deep and searching. With quiet
resolve, his lips parted as he said, his tone hopeful, “Then... about us remarrying, when do you think we should
do that?”
