“Belinda,” Sarai finally said, “I actually think that you and Mr. Clark have a rather harmonious relationship.
Last time, why did you—"
“It’s getting late,” Kenia suddenly cut her off. “You should go hand rest, Belinda.”

Lucas, on the other hand, would periodically glance at Belinda.

Frowning, he reached out to press his palm against her forehead and check her temperature.
She was burning hot!
Belinda was running a fever.
Lucas’ expression shifted slightly. “Belinda,” he called out in an urgent tone as he shook her shoulder gently.
“Belinda? Wake up...”

“What is it?” she asked, squinting at her surroundings in mild confusion.
“You're running a fever,” Lucas replied gently.
