After work that evening, Bella ran into lan in the parking garage. When he saw her car, he immediately recognized it as one of Dominic's collections.

"Why were you so miserable commuting by bus? Why didn't you switch sooner?" he asked.

Bella scoffed. "You go first. I don't want to scratch your car with my lousy driving skills. I couldn't afford to pay for any damages." lan's car was expensive, far beyond what a typical doctor could afford. Bella wasn't surprised that someone close to Dominic would have aworth in the hundreds of milli lan took her comment as a joke and slowly pulled out. Assuming he wasn't in a hurry, Bella decided to go first But then her worst fear ctrue as their car fronts suddenly collided.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she and lan stared at each other through the windshields; neither of them wanted to get out of the car.

lan finally backed up a little and said, “Ladies first. I'm honestly a bit scared of you!" Bella rolled down her window and said with a hint of frustration, "Whose fault is it that you were so careless? I thought you weren't in a hurry, so I went ahead. I didn't expect y to suddenly speed up." lan felt a pang in his heart and wiped his eyes. "Sorry about that. You should go ahead."

Dominic glanced up from what he was doing and said, "It's up to you. If you think it's a problem, get it fixed. If not, just drive it as is. There's no need to askabout something so minor. I gave you the car, and I didn't expect it to stay in perfect condition." Bella felt a bit flustered He knew her well enough to understand her limitations.

Her phone started ringing insistently in her bag. Noticing Dominic's m annoyed frown, she quickly took it upstairs. It was a call from Simon's new number. Thinking he might need something at the hospital, she quickly asked, “What is it?"

Simon's deep voice cthrough the phone. "Bella, I just got discharged from the hospital.m Ve heading back to Holha tomorrow morning. But before I go, there's something I need to tell you. Please, I need to see you." Perhaps it was Simon's humble tone or the fact that he had helped her before, but Bella agreed to meet him.
