Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Where were you when she needed you?”

Domenic’s fists tightened, and his face remained unreadable, which made him look quite lonely.

He didn’t reply to Sumner’s question.

Instead, he said calmly, “I want to see her.

”

Yet, as he moved toward the door, Sumner’s hand blocked him.

The anger in Sumner’s eyes was clear.

“She doesn’t want to see you.

”

Domenic halted and looked up at the cold gaze of the man in front of him.

“Did she tell you that?”

Sumner stared back at Domenic, a mocking smile on his face.

“Does it matter? You shouldn’t even think about seeing her.

You’re her boyfriend, you were supposed to be there for her, yet you hid away.

You’ve lost any right to be by her side.

”

With every word, Sumner’s voice grew more heated, his face flushed with intensity.

Deep down, he believed Domenic was unworthy of Lindsey.

Domenic’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his lips moved lightly.

But finally, he couldn’t say a word.

His hands were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back stood out.

After what felt like an eternity, his grip finally eased.

He looked at Sumner and said simply, “Look after her.

”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Domenic had actually checked on Lindsey’s condition with the doctor before approaching her room.

Knowing she was stable brought him a sigh of relief.

“Coward!” Sumner’s voice was a quiet growl as he watched Domenic walk away.

Domenic then returned to the apartment he shared with Lindsey.

He slumped onto the couch, lighting cigarettes one after another.

The smoke veiled his face, and the glow of the burning embers dropped to the floor, littering it with spent cigarettes.

His gaze drifted to the kitchen, a space filled with unfulfilled promises with Lindsey.

Over recent years, Domenic had carved out a realm for himself in the business world.

Whatever he set his mind to, he made happen.

Yet, he hadn’t managed to do something quite so simple.

He reached for his phone and rang up Hendrix, saying, “Tell the Morcastle Central Hospital to keep a close watch on Lindsey and Juanita.

Also, look into what caused today’s fire in Juanita’s apartment.

”

Feeling helpless, he resorted to issuing commands, the only action that came instinctively to him.

After a long time, it was already dark outside the window.

Domenic fell.

on the couch, and the light of his cigarette was still flickering.

He didn’t turn on the light, so his face could not be seen in the dark.
