Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

They bolted out together, the searing heat engulfing them.

Lindsey’s consciousness began to fade as the flames raged on.

As they approached the apartment door, Lindsey’s strength gave out, and she collapsed.

“Lindsey!” Sumner cried out in distress, but his voice couldn’t reach her.

He had vowed to safely evacuate Juanita, and he was determined to keep his word.

Gritting his teeth, he continued out with Juanita on his back, silently urging Lindsey in his heart to hang on.

Thankfully, firefighters were on the scene just in time to assist Sumner at the stairs.

Once Juanita was in the firefighters’ care, Sumner didn’t hesitate.

He turned back and dashed towards Lindsey, ignoring the dangers.

Behind him, the firefighters yelled out, quickly following to help.

As Domenic witnessed Juanita being carried out by firefighters and placed into an ambulance, he snapped back to reality.

He hurried over, grabbed a firefighter’s arm, and asked frantically, “Where’s Lindsey?

Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

“Sir, we’re still conducting the rescue.

We’ll do everything we can to save everyone.

”

Domenic trembled upon hearing the firefighter’s response.

He stared at the fiery scene, knowing Lindsey was still inside and yet to escape.

Everyone was striving to rescue her.

Sumner had dashed into the fire without hesitation, while he stood frozen, unable to act.

Domenic felt utterly foolish.

He had just pledged to protect Lindsey from any danger, yet now, faced with a real threat, he hesitated.

He questioned his right to claim love for her.

Domenic clenched his fists.

It was as if two voices were arguing incessantly in his head.

One voice argued that entering the blaze was a death sentence, urging rationality and self-preservation.

Love wasn’t worth dying for! Was he going to repeat the mistakes of his parents?

The other voice in his head challenged him.

“Don’t you care about her? When you truly love someone, you should be willing to face any danger for her.

Her well-being should be your top priority, far surpassing your own safety.

Otherwise, how can you claim to love her?”

Domenic’s mind was in turmoil.

He had no other option but to tap his head, trying to find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos.

At that moment, Domenic glimpsed a figure in the corner of his eye.

When he looked up, he saw Sumner emerging from the building, his body smeared with soot and his clothes charred from the flames.

Yet, he held Lindsey securely in his embrace.

This scene was a painful sight for Domenic.

He had never realized his own weakness and powerlessness more clearly than at this moment.

Sumner noticed Domenic standing nearby.

His gaze landed on Domenic, carrying a mix of mockery and disdain.
