Chapter 252 

“Dominick, you really shouldn’t have treated her like that just n 

now 

Vincent said solemnly 

“Stephanie is your wife, after all” he added 

In the still of the early morning, amidst the vibrant chaos of Flaming Bar, where the lights flickered in multicolored brilliance and the booming beats of the DJ filled the air. Vincent sat in a secluded booth, engaged in a serious conversation with Dominick. 

“Wife?” Dominick seemed impatient with Vincent’s persistence, picking up a glass of brandy and swirling it in his hand, his deep eyes showing 

irritation. 

“How should I have treated her then?” 

Is, his lips curling in a self–deprecating smirk. “I don’t know.” 

Vincent was momentarily at a loss for words, his lips curli 

Caught in the glare of his cold, aloof gaze, Vincent turned away. Dominick, the sole grandson of the renowned George, exuded an air of genuine nobility and unattainable allure. 

“Dominick, you never used to be like this with her. Vincent muttered almost to himself. He just felt that if Dominick were to remember her, he would regret his actions deeply. 

A graceful figure approached them. “Vincent, the doctor mentioned that the shrapnel in Dominick’s brain have been there for too long. His recovery to this extent is already remarkable. Don’t push him; he’ll remember in his own time.” 

Hayley effortlessly took Dominick’s brandy away, replacing it with a bottle of light brown medicine on his table. “Don’t drink alcohol. You haven’t taken today’s medicine yet” 

Dominick glanced up at her and complied with her words. He took the bottle and unscrewed the cap, popping three pills into his mouth without hesitation Before long, the bitter taste of medicine filled his senses 

“How much longer do I have to take these!” His expression was displeased, and he was clearly not fond of the medication. 

Hayley motioned for the bartender to pour a generous half–glass of warm water, offering it to him. Seeing his frown at taking the pills, she couldn’t help but smile, “What, you can’t handle these meds 

Dominick took the glass and drank half of it, his gaze lingering on her with a curious interest. 

“Why ar 

are you being kind to me?” he asked bluntly. 

Feeling his intense u 

stare, Hayley was momentarily caught off guard. This look was one a man gave a woman he was interested in, and this stirred something within Hayley. 

Her checks flushed, and she smiled with a hint of shyness. Just because I want to, she answered cleverly, meeting his gaze without flinching. They were both adults; there was no need to say more to get her message across 

Vincent remained seated listening to their conversation and watching their meaningful glances, feeling deeply disdainful. 

“Ms. Isaac, don’t read too much into it, Vincent said collly 

Perhaps because he was close to Stephanie, his words now carried a hint of bitterness 

Vincent wasn’t sure how much memory Dominick had lost in the surgery, but he was certain that whether in the past or now, Dominick had never truly been interested in random women. 

Dominick glanced towards Vincent and suddenly, a faint smirk played on his lips, as if to mock his friend. 

He casually took off a Patek Philippe watch, which was embedded with shimmering diamonds on its surface. Raising his right hand high, he looked at the crowd playfully. Who wants this!” 

The surrounding crowd erupted into clamorous chatter. 

In Flaming Bar, everyone knew not to offend the mysterious owner, and most didn’t know Dominick’s identity. Still, this didn’t stop them from admiring him with heated gazes and cheering for him loudly, 

“A new Patek Philippe worth 2.6 million dollars!” 

“Handsome, I love you!” 

Handsome, I don’t want the watch, I want you!” 

Hayley frowned immediately as she watched the commotion, about to wave for the bar’s management to intervene. But just then, as she raised her hand. Hammack quickly grabbed and pressed it dow
