Chapter 254 Losing It
It was late at night when Bella finally returned to Miller Moor.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she noticed that the lights in his room were off, which meant he hadn't

Betore, when he wasn't hers, she didn't have to worry or get upset. Now, she couldn't help but feel small. So,
what was the point of being together?
After a restless night, Bella was late for work the next day. As she rushed to park her car in the garage, she ran
into lan, who was also late.

lan smiled at her. "BlDominic. He draggedout for drinks last night, and | almost couldn't get up this
morning. Why are you late too? Fighting with him never feels good, huh?" Hearing that Dominic was with lan the
night before gave Bella a strange sense of relief. "It's just too cold, so | overslept. Let's go."
tan joined her in the elevator. "With how cold you seem, anyone would think you don't even like Dominic. To like
someone for so many years, those teelings must be deeply ingrained by now, right? Honestly, it's impressive
that you're able to stay calm and not act all tic."
Bella was silent for a moment before replying, "What's the point of acting tic? If that actually worked,
people could solve everything with a tantrums or s."
Lan was speechless. He was afraid that she'd lash out at him, so he wisely said nothing more.
In the morning, Bella only had one minor surgery to perform. It was something simple for her. By the tshe
finished, it was barely 11:00 am. With no work lett on her plate, her mind wandered. She kept thinking of
Dominic, which disturbed her peace. Absent-mindedly, she checked her phone. There was a message from
Dominic, "I'll pick you up for lunch. We need to talk."
Almost instinctively, she found herself looking at her reflection on the phone screen, fixing her appearance.
Then, she felt a bit sad.
Why was she always the one being so cautious?
Both of them were thinking the opposite. What kind of future could that lead to?
She didn't reply to his message. After work, she simply headed downstairs, still wearing her white coat.
Sure enough, Dominic's car was parked at the hospital entrance. She had no idea how long he had been waiting,
but she didn't bother to ask.
As she got into the car, she brushed a few wind-tossed strands of hair behind her ear and avoided looking at
him. She asked coldly, "What do you want to talk about?
Dominic glanced at her work ID and her white coat, remaining silent for a long time.
At that moment, she gave him a strange feeling. She wasn't the swoman who used to tiptoe around him but

distant and unfamiliar.
When he still didn't speak, Bella didn't know what to say either. Eventually, she broke the silence. "If there's
nothing to talk about, I'll just go back." Dominic immediately reached over and locked the car doors. "I've been
busy lately. If that's what's bothering you, I'll make it up to you once things calm down. I've always been busy,
haven't I? I've been trying not to travel as much."
Bella crossed her arms defensively and said, "I don't care if you're busy or not. Running Miller Group is a heavy
burden. If it were me, | wouldn't have been able to handle it either. So, don't worry, it's fine."
She said it was fine, but her indi
