Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 359 Standing Up for Her

Twenty minutes later, Lana received a call from an unknown number.

On the other end, a man's low, deliberate voice said calmly, "If you don't want to end up in trouble, maybe try treating those you dislike with some respect. Your mouth isn't just for eating and throwing insults... It could keep your family safe too." The line went dead immediately afterward.

Lana began to shake uncontrollably because she knew this wasn't just a threat. Whoever called her knew exactly how many family members she had.

Understanding precisely what the call was about, she frantically searched every floor of the hospital. She was desperate to find Bella, wanting to cling to her like a lifeline.

Outside the ER, she spotted Bella talking to a patient's family, and the sight brought her some relief. "B-Bella..."

Bella frowned when she saw Lana, and she ignored her until she was done with the family. Then, she walked toward Lana and said, "It's working time now. Can't you just let me work?"

Lana grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have been so jealous, and I shouldn't have picked on you. Please, can you forgive me?"
