Chapter 32 Don't Let Hes Kitow Was Me

Chapter 32 Don't Let Her Know It Was Me

Bella's vision went dark as her consciousness faded. Warm blood trickled down from her wound, and the strength

in her body drained away, leaving her unable to resist.

Through her blurry vision, she saw the man straddling her, fumbling with his belt. The foul stench of his sweat

filled her senses. She thought it was better to die just like this. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and startled the

birds from the trees. The sound echoed through the open space, hanging in the air.

The man on top of her fell to the ground.

In her daze, Bella saw Dominic standing there, bathed in sunlight, almost like an Illusion. She wanted to reach

out to him, but her body wouldn't move.

"Am | dying?" she wondered. "Is that why I'm hallucinating, seeing him before | die?"

It was said that everyone would see the person they wanted to see most in their final moments. Even after being

apart for over a month, she hadn't forgotten him at all. That was why she clung so desperately to his image,

even in her last moments. This was enough.

With a faint smile on her lips, Bella finally lost consciousness.

She didn't know how much thad passed when she slowly woke up. The sharp scent of disinfectant filled the

air. She recognized it instantly as the smell of a hospital.

Staring up at the white ceiling and the IV drip above her, she felt confused, her head heavy and foggy. "T

didn't die? Did someone save me?"

She recalled the "hallucination" she had just before passing out, where she had seen Dominic. It couldn't have

really been him... could it?

Her breath caught in her throat as her peripheral vision caught sight of a figure standing by the window. Ignoring

the pain from her wounds, she slowly turned her head.

Her pupils dilated, and her eyes stung with unshed tears. Was this also a hallucination?

The man standing with his back to her looked so familiar. How could she possibly mistake him?

She suddenly remembered the gunshot from earlier and felt a pang of anxiety. "Was what | saw and heard. real?

Or just a figment of my imagination?"

"Domin..." she tried to call out his name, but her throat was too dry and hoarse.

At that moment, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Leonard burst in energetically. "Whoa.. you've

got sstrong will to live, waking up so soon.

The man by the window quickly turned, glanced at Bella, and then walked to the bedside to press the nurse call

button. He immediately pulled Leonard out into the hallway.

"How could something like this happen?" he asked.

Leonard protested, "People make mistakes sometimes! Who knew she'd go to Dorothy's grave alone? That place

is so remote, and hardly anyone goes there. | didn't get there in time, but you did, right?"

Dominic's brow furrowed deeply. "Take care of that scum."

Leonard lowered his voice, "I figured you were too stressed to aim properly. If you hadn't missed, |

wouldn't have had to finish the job. Even if it didn't kill him with that shot, it would have left him crippled "

Dominic shot Leonard a glare Dont let her know it was me

Their conversation was cut short as the nurse and doctor arrived

After examining Bella, the doctor said, "You can be discharged in two days Avoid strenuous activity for the next

three months, and don't overexert yourself. Rest properly to prevent complications. Any head injury could have

lifelong consequences..." Although Bella was a doctor herself, she had no choice but to follow the orders now

that she was the

patient.

Leonard only returned to the room after the nurse and doctor left.

Bella instinctively glanced toward the door. Leonard explained, "Dominic had something to take care of,

so he left. I'll stay here with you. How are you feeling now?"

Bella's eyes bore into his. "You and Dominic knew each other alt along?
