Chapter 267 When | Think of You

After a long, busy day at the hospital, Bella glanced at the clock. It was almost tto head home, and the sky

outside was already growing dark.

She stood up and walked over to the water dispenser to pour herself a cup of hot water. Suddenly, she heard

footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she was surprised to see Dominic. She blinked. "What are you

doing here?"

He walked over to the patient consultation desk, sat down, and slapped a registration slip onto the table. "Dr.

Jones, that's a strange question. Why else would | cto a hospital? I'm here for a check-up."

Bella frowned and returned to her seat. Glancing at the registration slip, she asked, "What's wrong? Where are

you feeling unwell?"

Dominic gave her a pained look "This is the cardiac department. Where do you think?"

At first, she thought he was just teasing her, but a part of her was worried he might actually be feeling unwell.

She grabbed her stethoscope and walked over to him. "Open your shirt."

He looked up at her, his hand moving slowly as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and shirt. He revealed his defined

After listening to his heartbeat, she pulled the stethoscope away. "Everything sounds normal. So, what exactly is

Dominic calmly buttoned up his shirt. "Sometimes, my heart races like crazy, and | feel like it's pounding out of

Bella rolled her eyes. "You've been irritable since you were a kid. What's that got to do with this? If you don't

have any obvious symptoms, just watch your diet and get srest.

"If you're still worried, go get an X-ray. I'm about to clock out, so if you want to do that, you'd better wait until

starts racing? Or what triggers it? If you keep brushing off your patients like this, I'll file a complaint with the

Bella's eyes twitched. "You... Why are you deliberately messing with me? If you were sick, you would've gone

Ignoring her protest, Dominic picked up his phone, making sure she could see he was about to call the hospital

director.

Seeing that he was serious, Bella quickly gave in and snatched the phone from his hand.

She muttered through gritted teeth, "The universe must've placedat your mercy! Fine, Mr. Miller. When

Bella couldn't hold back anymore. "We can talk about this at home. Stop messing around... I'm off in five

minutes. Just wait outside and don't trouble,"

Dominic replied seriously, "I'm not messing around. I'm dead serious, Only you can treat this condition. If you
