Chapter 227 The Light in the Tunnel

Bella froze at the thought. Did he overhear her conversation with Lia?

Her phone was still connected to the video call. She quickly glanced down and scrambled to end it. Before she

could lift her head, Dominic gently tilted her chin up and inspected the bridge of her nose.

"It's nothing serious, just a little red. Who told you to lie down while using your phone? If you're going to sleep,

then sleep properly."

Belia held her breath while watching him closely, trying to figure out if he had heard anything. However, as she

stared, her focus slipped. His face was Just inches from hers. Fresh from the shower, he smelled clean, almost

intoxicating. Any coherent thought she had vanished.

What was even more unusual was how he was gently massaging her nose, blowing it lightly as if comforting a

child. Bella wasn't sure if it was the sting In her nose or something else entirely, but she couldn't hold back her

tears. Dominic paused and frowned. "Does it hurt that much?"

Bella shook her head and wiped the tears off her face. "No. Go ahead and dry your hair before you catch a cold.

I'm tired. I'm going to sleep." Dominic stood there for

a moment in silence as if he was weighing something in his mind. Then, without another word, he turned to

leave. However, Bella's tears didn't stop when the pain did. She was crying because of the way Dominic had

treated her just now. He was so gentle and sol tender. It made her realize that someone as nice as him, who was

so close to her, would never truly be hers. The thought hurt more than anything. The saddest thing was to love

someone she couldn't have. No wonder Amber gave up everything, including her pride and her high status for

him. Bella wasn't any stronger than Amber. At least Amber had a chance to date Dominic for two years and a

chance to make him fall for her. Dominic had given her that chance himself. Bella would never get the same

chance.

So, why was Dominic so nice to Bella? Why would he give her, someone who had been lost in the dark for so

long, a glimpse of light? Once someone had seen the light, how were they supposed to go back to the darkness?

The next morning, Bella left the house early.

When she arrived at the hospital, Dominic sent her a message, "Why did you leave so early?"

Bella replied that she was busy with things at the hospital and put her phone away. She couldn't mess with

Dominic, but she could always hide from him. She could feel herself slipping into dangerous territory. The only

way to keep from falling completely was to stay away. Whatever his intentions were, she couldn't play along any

longer.

That evening, they sat across from each other at the dining table. Bella responded to Dominic's questions

politely but never said a word more than

necessary.

When she finished her meal, she set her cutlery down and stood. "I'm done. I'll head back to my room now."

Dominic frowned. "Aren't you coming withto walk Pudding?

Bella smiled slightly. "Not today, I'm exhausted. You go ahead."

Determined to keep her distance, she went back to her room and locked the door. She put on her headphones to

watch a show. When she got tired, she went straight to bed. She filled her tso that there was no room for

overthinking.

Her polite indifference was flawless. She didn't give him the cold shoulder outright, and because of that, Dominic

couldn't find fault with her. Even it he sensed she was avoiding him, he wasn't certain enough to confront her,

When the weekend rolled around, Bella left early to hang out with Lia. To keep things smooth, she texted

Dominic to let him know her whereabouts. As expected, he didn't say anything

The routine carried on for nearly two weeks, and Bella felt a rare sense of relief. The only thing that bothered her

was the delay of her period
