Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Since he felt guilty, Dominic behaved himself the entire night.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The next morning, Cara was about to head out to get groceries when she let out a startled scream. Then, she hurriedly shut the door again.

Upon hearing the commotion, Dominic put a shirt on and headed outside. "What's wrong?"

She pointed at the door and said, "Someone is sleeping at the doorstep with a bunch of bags. Could it be Ms. Jones' father?"

Dominic frowned as he opened the door to take a look. It was indeed Simon. He was sleeping in front of the door with all of his belongings like a homeless person.

Dominic was starting to question his decision. Had he been too harsh with Simon? If Simon were still basking in his former glory, he wouldn't have shown up at their doorstep like this.

Despite being fast asleep, Dominic was still woken up by the commotion. On the other hand, Simon didn't even move an inch.

"Hey. Wake up," Dominic walked forward and called out.

Simon was still.

"Is he dead?" Cara asked softly.

There was no way Dominic was letting something like that happen at Bella's doorstep. He immediately reached forward to check if Simon was breathing. The man was still alive. He just didn't look sound. Dominic promptly took out his phone and dialed 911. It was better to leave such matters to the hospital.

He had just ended the call when Bella walked out of the bedroom. "What's going on? Why are you two standing at the door?" she asked groggily.

Cara didn't dare to respond. Dominic paused before saying, "Your father is at the door. He doesn't look very well. I already called 911."

Bella frowned, Despite Cara's

obstruction, she approached Simon and casually checked on him. "He's probably malnourished. The injury on his leg is inflamed too. That's why he has a fever. He's

unconscious, but he'll live. Let's just

Afterward, she nonchalantly walked off to wash up and have breakfast. No one knew about the raging emotions hidden beneath her calm exterior.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Simon to the hospital. Dominic had Cara tag along in order to follow up on the situation.

Bella finished her breakfast like it was routine and chugged a huge glass of milk. To her dismay, she felt incredibly nauseous. She ended up throwing up in the end. Dominic handed her water and some tissue. "What are you planning to do? Since you don't like the way I do things, we'll do it your way."

Bella fell silent. After a long period of time, she said, "Why did my mother get involved with a scumbag like that?"

There was no way she could get an answer to that question. She wasn't able to talk to the dead.

Not a while later, they received news from the hospital. Simon needed to undergo another surgery for his leg Since she couldn't be bothered to

Dominic only headed off when Cara returned from the hospital. The hospital needed a family member to sign off on the paperwork for Simon's surgery. Dominic was there in Bella's stead. Simon had already regained consciousness. When he saw Dominic, he became slightly anxious. "Where's Bella?"

"She won't be coming," Dominic responded in a cold voice. "I'll be dealing with this. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after the surgery."

Simon was afraid of dying on the operating table. "Ask Bella to come. She needs to sign the paperwork!"

Dominic ignored him and requested

the consent form. When the doctor asked about his relationship with Simon, he simply said, "I'm his daughter's husband. His daughter is pregnant and can't be here."

Despite Simon's refusal, he was ushered into the operating room.

Dominic waited in the corridor outside with a blank face. While he waited, he made a call and figured out where Simon spent the 1.5 million dollars that he gave him.
