Chapter 182 Take Care

Perhaps they were exhausted from the previous day as neither Bella nor Dominic moved much throughout the

night. The only tshe moved was when she turned away from him and had her back to him. At this moment,

his other hand naturally rested on her waist. The scene was so serene that even the sunlight seemed to add a

touch of warmth. Bella felt almost hesitant to ruin such a rare and peaceful moment. After ten minutes went by,

Dominic showed no signs of waking up. However, Bella couldn't wait any longer as she would be late for work.

She slowly turned to look at him, only to find him staring back at her. The minute their gazes met, they asked

simultaneously, "You're awake?

Bella instantly freed herself from his arms. "Why didn't you say anything after waking up? | was so afraid to

move so as not to wake you up. I'm going to get ready and leave for work. If you're not feeling well, stay home

and rest. If it gets worse, go to the hospital. You need to take care of your health."

Dominic lazily stretched and moved his arms. "I've been awake for a while, but | thought you were still sleeping.

You were massaging my back for so long last night, and | figured | couldn't be so heartless, so | decided to let

you sleep longer.

idea drove her crazy, so she left immediately to get away from him.

Upon reaching the hospital, Bella found a box of pastries on her desk. The box had the logo of a famous shop in

Joville.

She asked her coworkers if they knew who sent it, but no one knew. The delivery note was addressed to "Ms.

Jones" with her phone number, so there was no possibility of a mistake.

Since she had skipped breakfast, she opened the box and ate the pastries despite not knowing who had brought

After finishing her work around noon, Bella pulled out her phone to order takeout. Before she could open the app,

she received a call from a delivery driver.

She confusedly answered the call and heard the delivery man politely informing her, "Hello, Ms. Jones. Your order

has been delivered to the nurses’ station on the third floor of Horizon Hospital. Please get it as soon as possible.

Have a great meal."

After hanging up, Bella headed to the nurses’ station, still puzzled. Sure enough, there was a takeaway box

waiting for her. Like the pastries in the morning, it cfrom a well-known store in Joville. She would never

order such expensive takeout, nor did she have the tto make such an order.

This time, she didn't eat it immediately. After picking up the food, she returned to her office and ruled out likely

senders. Lia wouldn't be that lavish, and she would've told her if she had purchased meals for her.

If it wasn't Lia, then it had to be Dominic. He had been acting strange recently; whether it was out of genuine

concern or for show, he seemed likely to do such a thing.

Bella's circle of people was small, and after eliminating a few possibilities, Dominic seemed the most plausible.

With that in mind, she called him, and he picked up instantly.

Dominic sounded professional and indifferent when he asked, "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing his question, her first thought was that the takeaway wasn't from him. After telling him it was

nothing, she hung up.

After sthought, she threw away the takeout. She realized she had forgotten Simon.
