173 Bella's Feelings

"Oof…"

Wu couldn't help but gasp at Bella's reaction, not expecting it. She looked at Drakos and he was equally surprised. 

"Bella, of course, I'm worried about you, but this is important. We can't let him finish his project. We need to act now," Drakos explained urgently, but that only worsened the situation. 

"So I'm not important…? You can't even spare two seconds to check on me?" Bella asked coldly, her eyes staring straight into his soul. 

"Hey…" Drakos softened immediately as he flew up to her. "Of course you are important to me. Are you okay?" 

He tried to hold her hand, but she slapped it away. 

"Don't touch me." Bella's words were as sharp as spears. "You only act when someone points out your wrongs. And here I thought you changed. You got me for a second, I must admit. I really thought you are someone I can depend on but I guess I was wrong. You only care about yourself."
