Chapter 181: Worried
Bella was unconcerned with anything else. She helped Dominic back to his room, laid him down, and expertly unbuttoned his shirt. Once his skin was exposed, she gently pressed various areas, checking for discomfort. "Does it hurt here?" Dominic shook his head, and she moved her hands. "What about here?"
When he continued to shake his head, she felt helpless. "How about we go to the hospital for a check-up? I've repeatedly told you not to overwork yourself. You're only twenty-eight. Please take care of yourself."
Dominic replied half-jokingly, "With how you're acting, it feels like I'm already in a hospital bed."
Bella straightened and asserted, "I'm not joking. Which part hurts? I'm a doctor, but I can only do a simple check-up in this situation."
Then, he sat up and casually buttoned a shirt button. "I'm just a little dizzy. Why are you so anxious?"
Instantly, she felt deceived, wondering why he hadn't told her earlier.
Sighing in relief, she said, "I'm anxious because you're still not resting. If anything happens to you, your fortune goes to me. I'm just scared that that there's nothing I can do. Rest up. I'll leave now."
However, Dominic merely glanced at her with a sly grin. "If you're so terrified that I'll die, why don't you stay and keep an eye on me? What if my dizziness isn't from exhaustion?" Before she could respond, he went to the bathroom. "It's settled, then. Didn't you say you owe me? You'd better not regret it."
Bella felt he was being mischievous, but he'd blocked her escape, and she had no choice but to stay.
While he showered, she made a makeshift bed on the floor and brought her own blanket and pillow.
After his shower, his expression darkened. "You"
Chapter 101: Worried
Bella lay down before he could explode. "I'm looking after you. Go to sleep. It's late, and I'm tired. Oh, and don't forget to turn off the lights."
Dominic turned off the lights, a stern look on his face. The room plunged into darkness. Bella could see his silhouette as he sat on the bed's edge, stiff as a statue. He was probably too angry to sleep. After a pause, he muttered, "You're sleeping where Pudding usually does."
She closed her eyes. "It's fine. I don't mind."
He snorted softly. "I was just worried you would."
She remained silent. Despite his usual quietness, his remarks were sharper than anyone else's.
Dominic lay down after a moment, but he wasn't finished. "Come help me massage my back. It hurts."
His wound often caused lower back pain. Bella got up, knelt on the bed's edge, and gently massaged his back. Soon, her eyes grew heavy, and she began to fall asleep. Suddenly, he grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed. She initially resisted, but he held her securely, his breath slightly heavy above her. "Don't move. Go to sleep."
She was too tired to resist. After settling comfortably and placing her hand on his back to continue the massage, she said, "I won't move. You go to sleep You're quite a hassle" The next day, Bella found herself still in Dominic's arms.

I have removed the repeated promotional text. I have also corrected grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure for clarity and flow. I've standardized numbers (e.g., "twenty-eight"). The overall narrative is now much smoother.
