Chapter 1655:
Carola nodded and dug in, her hunger evident. Neither of them spoke. Carola was genuinely hungry and finished
all the food.
Following her meal, Carola started her third round of IV drip. Just then, she turned to Belinda and inquired, “You
barely keep in touch with your parents anymore, right?”
The question caught Belinda off guard, as she hadn’t anticipated Carola’s interest in this topic.
“That's right,” Belinda replied with a nod, seeing no point in concealing the truth.
Since the topic cup again, Carola felt indignant. “Their actions were completely out of line! No matter their
struggles or justifications, no parent should jeopardize their child's well-being like that. You're right to hold a
grudge.”
Carola’s words prompted a bitter smile from Belinda, who recognized this as the perspective of a caring parent.

Baker, | had asked him directly if he had a girlfriend. He had sworn—without a flicker of doubt—that he didn’t.
But he had been lying. Men are all trash.” Her voice dripped with irony as she spoke.
She turned her eyes on Belinda. “You think | hold no grudge against you because you were just a child—an
