Bella didn't respond directly.

She sat down on the couch opposite Amber and questioned her coldly, "Do you always destroy the things you

claim to care about? First, Pudding. Now, Dominic. Yes, you saved him, but you were the spark that started all of

this." Amber didn't argue and just gave a bitter smile. | didn't know things would turn out like this. To keep him

alive, | sacrificed my whole family. My father... He thinks I've lost Honestly, | think so too. my mind.

"But whatever, there's no point in telling you all this. | can barely take care of myself right now. You like Pudding,

don't you? Take her. She doesn't mean anything toanymore."

A moment later, a man who looked like a bodyguard entered, leading Pudding back-probably

She murmured, "She's never been this affectionate with me..."

Despite her feelings toward the Yates family, Bella couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy, for Amber's

situation. She asked, "What are you planning to do now? Are you just going to stay hidden here?"

Amber looked at her, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes. "What, are you here to gloat over my fate? Don't

entirely."

Bella realized she was letting her emotions get the better of her. Of course, Amber despised her, just as she

despised Amber.

Two women who hated each other worrying about each other's fate-it really was absurd.

She took a shallow breath. "Is there anything else? Or did you just callhere to leave Pudding with me?"

Amber hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How is Dominic? H-He made it, didn't he?"

Bella didn't try to soften the truth. "He's fine now, just not fully recovered yet. If that's all, I'll be going."

With that, she stood up, took Pudding's leash, and headed for the door. Just as she reached it, Amber suddenly

Pudding seemed to understand her words. She licked her hand, then bounded happily back to Bella's side.

Back in the car, Bella received a text from Amber

"I'm not going to hide anymore. I'm going back I can't just abandon my father. Those people will kill him if | don't

help. Take good care of Pudding for me. Don't hold it against her just because she's a reminder of my relationship

with Dominic. She's really well-behaved." Bella frowned. Was Amber just going back to get herself killed?

On impulse, she dialed Amber's number, intending to talk ssense into her. But Amber didn't pick up, and

then she blocked Bella's number altogether.

Realizing there was nothing more she could do, Bella told the driver to take her home, her mind spinning with

conflicting emotions.

A few days later, Dominic had recovered enough to return to Miller Manor. Bella arranged with the hospital to

Still weak from his injuries, Dominic spent most of his tlying down or sitting.

Too fragile to do much on his own, he had becsurprisingly "easy to bully", and Bella found herself growing

bolder around him.

For instance, she insisted on brushing his hair with her own pink hairbrush. He protested, clearly annoyed. "Don't
