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."

Since he insisted, Bella didn't push further and prescribed him a controlled amount of sleeping pills. After receiving the prescription, Victor didn't leave right away. Instead, he stared at Bella oddly, which made her feel uncomfortable. "Did you need something else, Mr. Morse?"

Victor stood up slowly as he shook his head. Then, he said nonchalantly, "No, that's all. See you around Dr. Jones."

As she watched him leave, Bella couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. From the start, Victor knew her family name, and then he gave her such a strange look. He also said "see you around" instead of "goodbye", as if they would meet again. What puzzled Bella the most was that Victor claimed he had seen countless famous doctors. In that case, why did he come to her? Bella wasn't anyone special.
