Chapter 169 That's Not Something You Should Worry About
Lost in thought, Bella's movements slowed as she gently applied ointment to Dominic's
wound.
Her soft fingertips massaged the skin around the injury with such care that she didn't even notice Dominic
watching her intently the entire me.
Finally, he spoke up, "Dr. Jones, your technique for applying medicine isn't very... professional. It's easy to
misinterpret."
Bella jerked her hand back as if she'd been shocked. He'd been deliberately calling her "Dr. Jones" ever since
they started the bath, and it was getting under her skin.
Packing up the first aid kit, she let out a sigh. "All done. You should get srest. Sleeping more will help you

Still in a teasing mood, Dominic said, "Not staying to 'attend to your patient?"
Bella practically fled the room. He might be too weak to be intimidating, but his words had becsurprisingly...
persistent.
The past few days felt like she was back to her old, hectic schedule from when she'd been juggling multiple jobs.
Taking care of Dominic wasn't easy. In fact, it was more exhausting than her shifts at the hospital. She barely had
tto see friends like Lia.
A couple of days later, Bella cacross an article on her phone about Amber's upcoming wedding.
The article didn't hold many surprises. It was mostly a public announcement-a way to solidify alliances and
maximize benefits through marriage.
Amber's engagement meant that the Yates family's crisis had been averted, and the key lay in the man she was
marrying. Clearly, Amber was rushing into this marriage to save the Yates family, sacrificing herself to keep it
afloat. Bella wondered if Amber hadn't saved Dominic back then, would it have cto this? It was obvious that
in those two and a half years together, Amber had truly fallen for him.
The whole world knew about Amber's engagement, so Dominic surely knew as well. But he hadn't mentioned it
as if nothing had happened.
Bella kept an eye on him throughout the day. Other than working in his study and occasionally flipping through a
magazine, he didn't do much else. He seemed so calm that it almost felt unnatural...
Over dinner, she tentatively asked, "Did you see the news? Amber's getting married."

Dominic barely reacted, giving a nonchalant hum without even looking up.
Bella felt like he was just pretending to be unaffected. After all, he and Amber were together
for over two years.
Even if their relationship was built on mutual benefits, it was hard to believe there hadn't been any feelings
involved.
Besides, Amber was being forced into this marriage because she saved him-even if the Yates family had brought
it on themselves.
With a sniff, she asked quietly, "Who is she marrying?"

Dominic glanced at her and replied, "The son of the man I killed. It's the only way the Yates family can prove it's
not skind of conspiracy"
Bella was stunned. "Then... will they let you go?"
He remained as calm as ever. "That's not something you should worry about. Just focus on your dinner."
Bella didn't dare press further, but every tshe saw Pudding, she couldn't help thinking of Amber. As much as
she disliked her, part of her also felt sorry for Amber.
These powerful families really did treat marriage as a bargaining chip-the Yates family did, and the Sawyer family
did too.
Would Dominic think the sway? Would he end up marrying a woman of equal status, someone who could
benefit Miller Group?
The next day, Bella was in the middle of seeing patients at the hospital when an unexpected visitor showed up-
Simon.
It had been a while since she last saw him, and her emotions had long settled. She greeted him coolly, "What
seems to be the problem?"
Simon placed his registration slip in front of her, his smile strained. He looked more worn down as if he had aged.
"I had to register just to see you. Just givea moment of your time. | won't take long."
