ReadGoodChapter 428 He Can't Tolerate Any Imperfection Bella let out a sigh of relief. She said, "As long as everything's okay... What happened with the car accident? Has Dominic told you anything? He won't tellanything." lan hesitated for a moment before answering, "It seems like... someone was trying to set you up. While you were having dinner with Lia and Felix, someone tampered with your car, causing the brakes to fail. We're investigating it now. The person who did it disguised themselves well, and the security camera footage is old and blurry. So the chances of finding them aren't great. It's going to be a difficult investigation." Bella felt a wave of fear. If Cara had been driving any faster, she might not have made it through the day. Since this incident was directly related to her unborn child, Bella was certain that Dominic would get to the bottom of it. It was just a matter of time.
The following day, Dominic cto pick her up from the hospital. He remained cold and distant. He barely said anything and didn't even bother to glance at her.
Bella didn't have the energy to engage with him either. She slumped in the car seat, pale and drained, looking even thinner than before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time, Dominic didn't just drop her off at the neighborhood entrance but followed her up the stairs.
As they entered, Bella noticed the unfamiliar face greeting them at the door. She knew immediately that Dominic had replaced Cara. No matter what she said, it was useless. Dominic was the type of person who couldn't tolerate imperfection.
Ironically, the new maid had a similar name, Carla Lindell. She was just a few years younger than Cara and just as efficient. But there was a difference-Carla seemed robotic, focusing solely on the tasks at hand. She hardly ever smiled and coff as stern, lacking the warmth that Cara had.
Dominic didn't even sit when he entered. He simply exchanged a few words with Carla before leaving.
Bella felt uneasy just thinking about being stuck in bed for a week. She was in a bad mood, but there was no one she felt like talking to. Lia was newly married, and she didn't want to be a bother. As for Felix, she didn't want to trouble him. Then, there was Sean, who was just a kid. He was not someone she could converse seriously. Honestly, the only person she could really talk to was Dominic.
Although Dominic was around, their conversations were always strained. Thus, she felt that it was better if they just kept silent.
That evening, Simon called. Their conversation didn't directly touch on any business discussions, but it felt like it revolved around money.
Simon had heard about her car accident, and in his typical fashion, he "expressed concern" about her well-being. He then subtly inquired if the baby was alright. To Simon, this child was worth a fortune.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBella felt disgusted by his
shamelessness. He ran the company Dominic had given him, yet he was eyeing everything else even trying to take advantage of the unborn baby. It was horrifying how far people's greed could go to the point where even family ties didn't matter. Before Simon could finish his monologue, Bella hung up the phone.
Soon, she finished reading all the books she had at home. Days passed with nothing to do, restless. Carla do, and she felt m didn't talk much, and Bella didn't feel comfortable bothering her to go out and buy more books.
It was nearly tfor her check-up, so she sent Dominic a message. It read, "If you're coming withto the check-up couldy you please bringa few books? I'm still stuck in bed." Over an hour later, Dominic finally replied with just one word, "Okay."
