Chapter 244 Silent Frustration

Victor smiled faintly. "Yeah, I can't sleep. There are some things weighing on my mind that keep me up all night. Every time I close my eyes, they come back to haunt me. It's been like this for years. I've seen countless doctors, but none of them could fix it. Just prescribe me some sleeping pills, please." Bella frowned. "How about you see Dr. Clarke from our department? He knows a lot, and he's also good with psychology. Relying on sleeping pills isn't. long-term solution. If you become dependent on them, it'll only get harder to fall asleep naturally." Victor sighed. "Forget it. I've seen more famous doctors than I can count. I'll be fine with the sleeping pills."

In that case, why did he come to her? Bella wasn't anyone special.
