Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 249

Clara's breath caught, unsure of how to politely decline.

"Then... I'll trouble you again."

"It's no trouble."

Dominic simply helped her up, his strong hands gripping her shoulders. The warmth of his touch seeped right through her clothes and into her skin.

Clara's heart skipped a beat, feeling overwhelmingly awkward. But seeing the man's perfectly professional expression when she turned her head, she couldn't protest. Biting her lip, she simply lowered her head.

They reached the consultation room on the second floor.

Dr. Aris asked about her symptoms while typing on his computer.

Clara explained, "Doctor, this is an old stomach issue of mine. If you could just prescribe some medication, that would be great."

Before she could finish, Dominic cut her off smoothly. "Admit her for the day and set up an IV drip."

Clara paused, looking up at him in surprise.

Dominic patted her shoulder, his gesture dominant yet incredibly gentle, silently coaxing her to be a good girl.

Clara froze again, her heartbeat accelerating wildly beyond her control.

Watching their interaction, Dr. Aris couldn't help but chuckle as he said to Clara,

"Your boyfriend really thinks of everything. He's just looking out for you. You should listen to him and get admitted for the day!"

Clara's cheeks flushed a bright pink. "He's not..."

Dominic interjected smoothly, "Thank you, doctor."

Dr. Aris smiled, handing him the printed slip. "No problem. Take good care of your girlfriend."

"I..." Clara was thoroughly mortified.

Dominic remained entirely unfazed. Taking the slip, he turned to her. "Let's go. There are people waiting behind us."

A surge of warmth blossomed in Clara's chest. Left with no choice, she walked over and blocked his phone with her hand. "I'll ask Susan to come over and keep me company. She can take care of me. There's no need to hire a stranger."

In the past, whenever she was so sick she couldn't bear it, Susan was the one who kept her company.

Dominic's gaze lingered on her slender, pale fingers for a second before shifting to her face. He conceded, "Alright."

"Go ahead and change. I'll step outside."

Clara bit the corner of her lip. "Okay..."

Watching her, Dominic allowed a faint smile to touch his lips. He pocketed his phone and left the room.

The door clicked shut softly.

Only then did Clara let out a long breath of relief, patting her chest. She called Susan and then went to change into her hospital gown.

While changing, she figured she could use the opportunity to ask Susan if she wanted to continue working for her in the future. Now that she and Julian were broken up, she definitely wouldn't be returning to his place.
