Chapter 79 Men Fall for This Every Time

Bella wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Dominic leaning in.

His breath was warm against her skin. Just as their lips were about to touch, Dominic suddenly turned away and

released her. In a burst of anger, he stormed upstairs and slammed the door. The sudden commotion snapped

Bella back to reality. What had just happened?

The next morning, when Bella woke up, Sylvia had already made breakfast. Upon seeing the empty wine glasses

from the night before, she made hot soup to soothe their stomachs.

but his expression soured upon meeting her

gaze. Without a

Sylvia noticed Dominic's strange behavior and gave Bella a questioning look.

Bella glanced down at her bowl of soup and murmured, "I don't know what's wrong with him."

Sylvia sighed. "Men and their moods. Just coax him a bit, Ms. Jones. Most men love that."

Bella's lips twitched as she imagined the outcof trying to coax Dominic. He was hardly the type to respond

well to that.

Besides, she had no idea why he was upset. Was it because she mentioned her mother? But hadn't he asked her

why she wanted to be a doctor?

As soon as Bella arrived at the hospital, a nurse told her that someone was waiting for her before she could even

reach her office.

Assuming it was a familiar patient, she initially dismissed the appointment. However, as she entered her office

and saw a woman dressed like a wealthy matron sitting in her chair, a wave of unease washed over her, causing

her to slow her pace. The woman didn't bother to stand up when she saw Bella. Leaning back in her chair with

her legs crossed and arms folded, she looked down at her.

After a moment of contemptuous scrutiny, she finally spoke, "You must be Bella?"

The voice confirmed Bella's suspicions, but she kept her expression neutral. "Yes, I'm Bella," she replied. "Is there

something you need, Mrs. Kennedy?"

A flicker of surprise crossed the woman's face, perhaps because she hadn't expected Bella to recognize her so

quickly. "I need to talk to you. This isn't a good place for it. Can we step outside?"

Bella knew exactly why Elaine Baldwin was there and had no intention of wasting time. "Mrs. Kennedy, I'm very

busy, but | can give you a clear answer right now. It's not possible. If you're not here for a medical appointment,

then please leave." Elaine suddenly stood up and grabbed the pen holder from the desk in a fit of rage before

hurling it at Bella. "Who do you think

you are? How dare you speak tolike that? You're nothing! I'm doing you a favor by even being here. Don't

get ahead of yourself! You're a whore, just like your mother!"

The pens in the holder didn't hurt when they hit her, but the woman's insulting words pierced Bella's heart.

Her colleagues tried to calm Elaine down and gently pulled Bella away.

Bella glared at Elaine with her fists clenched. She couldn't understand how this woman had the audacity to

criticize her mother.

It was clear that Simon had been involved with her mother first So why was this interloper so bold as to dictate

to her?

Seeing that Bella wasn't responding either verbally or physically, Elaine grew even bolder. "What are you staring

at? Huh? What are you going to do? Fine, if you're not going to talk tonow, I'll just wait outside the hospital

until you're ready."
