Chapter 72 Because You’re Crying
She brought the phone to her car, surprised that he had answered. Before she could gather her thoughts, there was a brief moment of silence.
Tears streamed down her face as she frantically wiped them away, fearing someone might see her.
Her uncontrollable sobs carried through the phone to Dominic on the other end. His voice was steady as he asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m in the hospital,” Bella replied softly.
The call was immediately disconnected, leaving her staring at the phone in a daze. A deep sense of loss washed over her as she realized she shouldn’t have disturbed him.
She had no intention of going home. After what had happened, she was too scared to be alone.
With Simon still unconscious under anesthesia and no way to contact his family, she felt responsible for staying, especially since he’d been injured trying to save her.
The corridor was empty, except for the occasional family member visiting a patient. They all gave her strange looks. Perhaps her current disheveled appearance was so diffe from her usual neat and tidy image in her white coat that no one recognized her.
Just as she was about to resign herself to spending the night there, someone walked up to her and blocked the light above her.
She looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. It was Dominic. He was here!
“What happened?” he asked with a frown.
Bella suppressed the turmoil in her heart and explained what had happened, but she avoided mentioning her relationship with Simon. She was already enough of a burden for him, so she didn’t need to add to his annoyance.
After listening to her, Dominic’s frown deepened. “Let’s go home,” he said.
Bella glanced at Simon’s room with unease, but with the nurses there, she felt he would be okay. She needed to go home and clean up anyway.
