Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Cara was startled by the earlier commotion and called Dominic without Bella's consent. "Mr. Miller, a woman came and caused a scene at the house. Ms. Jones was really upset, and now, she seems to be in pain...' Dominic didn't respond and directly hung up the phone.

Cara wasn't sure what his reaction meant and approached Bella cautiously. "Ms. Jones, should we go to the hospital to get things checked out?"

Belle waved her hand. "No, I'll be fine. Cara, please have someone install a surveillance camera at the door. If they dare to return tomorrow, call the police immediately."

Cara hesitated. "But that woman threatened to sue you. Since it's your father, maybe you should pay a bit of money each month to prevent complications."

However, Bella firmly stated, "I won't give them a single cent! Every time I give in, they'll only demand more. They're a bottomless pit! I already gave them 1.5 million. Now, look at how quickly they're back! Do you think this is the kind of problem that can be solved with a small amount?"

Knowing how greedy Simon and Elaine were, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy them even i Bella gave them 50 grand monthly.

Since Cara didn't know the whole story, she remained silent as she didn't want to upset Bella further.

Soon, Dominic arrived. He was still slightly out of breath when he entered the door.

Bella had no idea Cara had phoned him. "Why are you here?"

Without saying anything, he stepped over and carried her in his arms. "We're going to the hospital to get you checked."

Even though she insisted that she was fine, he didn't budge.

As they reached the elevator, she noticed both elevators were still on the top floor. This made her wonder if he had taken the stairs up.

Since they were so close, she could see the beads of sweat on his forehead, and her heart softened. "I'm a doctor myself. I know if the baby is fine or not. You don't need to worry."

Dominic's gaze remained locked onBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

the elevator doors, which were taking too long. He turned and

walked toward the stairs. "Quit spouting crap. Everything you disturbs me, so please be silent."

Bella remained quiet and followed him to the hospital for a check-up. As predicted, the baby was well, but the doctor advised that emotional stress might affect the pregnancy.

On the way back from the hospital, Dominic had returned to his usual indifferent demeanor. Out of the blue, he suggested, "Why don't take care of them once and for all? It would make things easier.

She was astonished. "What do you mean by 'take care of"?"

He didn't respond, and she was worried about what he might be planning. "Don't do anything rash. Let me think about how to handle this." Dominic clucked his tongue. "You were never clever, and now, you're much more stupid. What method could you possibly think of? Leave it to me."

Bella feared that he would be too vicious. "They'll probably be back tomorrow. If we can resolve this peacefully, that would be ideal Please don't do something extreme because I'll worry."

He turned to look at her with amusement. "Are you worried about me or about someone else?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't answer.

Back at the house, Lia and Cara enthusiastically recounted the incident to Dominic. Lia was particularly enraged as if she wanted to tear Elaine apart. Dominic remained calm. "I've got it. I'll stay here and wait for them to arrive."

After hearing this, she felt reassured and carried the fruits in her hands. "Well, I'll head out, then. Thank you, by the way. These fruits are a real delight." He playfully joked back, "No worries. Take as much as you want. I'll settle the bill with Leonard later."
