hapter 34 Seeing Dominic Again
When they arrived home, two b
sedans were parked at the gate, leaving no space for Leonard's car.
He had to drop off Bella and then find another place to park.
Bella walked into the courtyard and caught a glimpse of Dominic holding sblueprints and discussing
something with others. The sunlight filtered through the grape trellis, casting delicate shadows on him, making it
seem like a picturesque scene.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in professional attire with short, neat hair emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray
of tea. Bella instinctively stepped back and retreated to her room.
That woman was the sone who had been in Dominic's arms when they entered the hotel. Bella had waited
outside the hotel all night, dreading what might have transpired between the two in Dominic's

room.
Even on this business trip, he had brought that woman along.
With Dominic's arrival, Leonard's place becfully occupied and much livelier. But for Bella, it was a form of
torture. Her once peaceful life was completely disrupted.
To avoid running into Dominic, she limited herself to moving between her room and the kitchen. Most of the
time, though, the kitchen was occupied by the woman he had brought along, who seemed to be in charge of his
meals and personal care. Whenever they ran into each other in the kitchen, Bella remained silent, like a timid
creature that couldn't make a sound. Magdalena, on the other hand, would always greet her, to which Bella
would only respond with a nod before hurriedly escaping. Bella went to the kitchen to make herself something to
eat late at night and once again encountered Magdalena.
Perhaps because she saw Magdalena was only preparing a drink and would leave soon, she didn't try to avoid
her this time.
Magdalena greeted her as usual, then suddenly asked, Do you think there's something more than professional
betweenand Mr. Miller?"
Bella looked at her in surprise but didn't respond.
Magdalena smiled. "Sometimes, what you see isn't always the truth. Mr. Miller isn't that kind of man. I'm just his
assistant, nothing more."
With that, Magdalena took her tea and left.
Bella couldn't understand why she felt the need to say any of this. Anything related to Dominic had nothing to do
with her now.
After making sinstant noodles and finishing it, Bella thought about taking a shower.
The doctor had advised her not to let water touch her wound, as it would hinder recovery, and she understood
this. She thought she could be careful enough.
Bella entered the bathroom and undressed. Just as she turned on the shower, the bathroom door suddenly
opened.
She was startled and grabbed a piece of clothing to cover herself. When she saw that it was Dominic, she froze.
"Do you... heed to use the bathroom? I'll leave right now!" Dominic looked at her with a blank expression. "You're
a doctor. Don't you understand basic common

sense?"
Bella had no response. She wanted to say she'd be careful not to get the wound wet, but the words stuck in her
throat, refusing to cout.
As the bathroom door closed again, she dejectedly dried herself off. Although she felt somewhat refreshed, she
couldn't wash her hair.
She had a lot of it, and it hadn't been cut for many years. It reached past her waist, was naturally healthy, and
had never been dyed or permed. It used to be her pride, but now it felt like a burden.
The weather had been unpredictable lately, and it was especially warm these past few days. She couldn't stand
the discomfort of not washing her hair and considered cutting off the long hair she had grown for so many years.
The courtyard was quiet, with no one around, and the lights in Dominic's room were off. Bella found a pair of
scissors and placed a trash can at her feet.
Her slender fingers gathered her long hair together, and she brought the sharp scissors close.
Before she could cut it, the scissors were suddenly snatched from her hand.
