Chapter 26 Beyond Saving
After speaking, Bella turned and walked away.
As she passed by Leonard, she asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Leonard lazily looked up at the sky. “Can’t I look at the moon?”
Bella, feeling irritated, knew he had followed her on purpose but didn’t have the energy for small talk. Well, enjoy your moon–gazing. I’m heading back.”
Leonard casually followed her. “You really don’t appreciate good intentions, do you? I was just worried you might run into trouble. You’re my tenant, and if something happened to you, I’d be responsible.”
Bella shot back in annoyance, “Right now, you’re the biggest danger to me. As a landlord, is it normal to stalk your tenant?”
Leonard was at a loss for words, forcing a grin through gritted teeth. “Yes, yes, I’m a creep. You should be careful around me from now on.”
Over the next week, Simon sent Bella messages every day, urging her to leave the tiny, desolate town and come with him to Holha, where he promised her a great life.
Seeing that Simon wore all designer clothes, with a watch worth hundreds of thousands, Bella knew he had made something of himself over the years. But she had no intention of taking advantage of that.
Growing up in Miller Manor, she had seen it all. She was not someone who could be swayed by money or material things.
She never replied to his messages, but Simon persisted, sending them morning, noon, and night.
Finally, when he was about to leave the town, he sent her a farewell message. Bella glanced at it but ignored it as usual.
Working at the small town hospital was easy and stress–free. Most of the time, there was little to do. The escape from the pressures of the big city was pleasant If she could, she would live in the town peacefully until the end of her days.
The only thing that troubled her was that she still occasionally thought of Dominic. Whenever that. happened, her quiet heart would be thrown into turmoil.
“I’m not a pediatrician,” she said. “You should find another doctor quickly. There’s an experienced one in the office next door!”
