Shattered Longings

Chapter 22 Goodbye, Dominic

Before leaving, Bella arranged to meet Lia and handed her the resignation letter. “Please give this to the hospital director for me.”

Lia looked troubled as she rubbed her hands. “Where are you planning to go? Are you really leaving? Felix has already taken care of those things online. It’s all sorted out now…”

Bella sighed. “I really have to go this time. I’ll let you know where I end up later. Maybe I’ll come back someday since I grew up here. Please thank Felix for me. I’m not going to call him.”

Lia knew that once Bella made up her mind, it was impossible to change it, so she said, “Then let me know when you settle down.”

Bella nodded. They said their goodbyes with forced smiles, both with red–rimmed eyes.

The departing train whistled as it started its journey, and Bella chose it to slowly take in the scenery, bit by bit, saying goodbye to the past.
