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.

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