Then, her gaze fell upon Belinda, and like lightning in a storm, an idea sparked.
She narrowed her eyes ever so slightly, then looked at Belinda with a warm smile. "Ms. Wright, I truly envy you." Belinda turned toward her, brows gently lifting. "Envy me?" Zaria nodded. "Yes. You and Lucas have a deep bond, and Harold treats you like family. And though you were born out of wedlock, Carola, your father's wife, welcomed you to the family with kindness, never making things difficult for you. Isn't that wonderful?"

It was clear she was very angry.

Tamara opened her mouth, ready to unleash her wrath, but before the storm could break, a low groan of pain suddenly echoed through the room.
"Ah..." Elwood's face contorted in torment as though invisible claws were raking through his skull. He clutched his head, his knuckles white.
"Elwood, what's happening?" Tamara's eyes widened, her face clouded with worry.
"Elwood, is it that sawful headache again?" Nalani's voice trembled, startled by the scene.

They exchanged uneasy glances, not knowing what to say.
Meanwhile, Elwood remained in the throes of his pain, gripping his head. Cold sweat had already gathered across his brow.

Moments later, he lifted his gaze to Zaria, his voice trembling like leaves ve in the wind. Carola... Who is she?" "She... She..." Zaria faltered, not daring to say more.
