Chapter 164 He's Back

Every night, when Bella woke up from her dreams, she found it impossible to go back to sleep. So, she'd lie awake until dawn. She kept asking Leonard for updates on Dominic, even trying to call him herself, only to find his phone was always turned off. That night, just as she was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard the sound of several cars pulling away downstairs. The last time there had been this much commotion was when Leonard returned after she came here. Sensing that something was going on, she went to check Leonard's room, but, as expected, he wasn't there. With a flicker of hope, she dialed his number. "Did you just leave? Did something happen?" Leonard's voice was subdued. "Just go to sleep. I'll explain when I get back. I'm afraid if I tell you now, you won't be able to rest." Bella's heart shot up into her throat. "Is Dominic back?" There was a two-second silence before he answered, "Yes, I'm going to pick him up. I probably won't be back tonight. Get some rest."
