Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

The phone seemed to ring forever before finally being answered by a voice that was unusually rough and tired.

“You better have a good reason for calling me at this hour.

”

Mercer paused, momentarily caught off guard, then quickly apologized, “My bad.

I forgot about the time difference.

I was just curious about something.

Did you break up with Lindsey? Why threw her agency into a mess?”

Domenic was swamped lately.

With everything that had been going on, he was losing sleep.

He had just managed to fall asleep when Mercer’s call jolted him awake with its unexpected content, causing him to snap.

Annoyed, he responded sharply, “Keep up this nonsense, and I’ll have you cut off for good!”

Mercer was at a loss for words but went on to convey Nancy’s concerns about her agency.

“She thinks she’s been targeted by the CEO of Vitality Group, likely due to that interview.

That’s why I’m checking with you.

”

Domenic had been preoccupied with dealing with his uncles abroad and hadn’t kept up with domestic issues, unintentionally overlooking Lindsey.

It had been two days since their last conversation.

The only one who could bypass Domenic and directly issue orders to the Emperor Hotel was Jordan.

Jordan had planned to keep the engagement party under wraps, but Sumner had carelessly leaked it, causing his family public embarrassment.

That was why Jordan was determined to reprimand Sumner for this.

Considering Sumner worked for Lindnita Artists Agency, Domenic wondered if his grandfather was actually targeting Lindsey’s business.

Feeling anxious, he realized that something was definitely amiss.

After ending the call, Domenic instructed his team to arrange the earliest possible flight.

He then informed Arturo about handling the ongoing matters abroad.

“What’s the rush to return?”

Domenic appeared troubled.

“I’m concerned my grandpa might target Lindsey.

She’s vulnerable without my support.

”

During their last phone call, Domenic felt something off about her tone.

Now, he realized she’d been dealing with a lot on her own since then, but he didn’t do anything to help.

He’d been wrapped up in dealing with his uncles for quite some time, too busy to be there for her.

He hadn’t given her the attention she deserved.

He felt terribly guilty.

With Lindsey’s company under attack, he guessed she probably wished he was there with her.

He realized that even if he couldn’t do much, offering emotional support would be helpful.

Lindsey understood him so well and was so thoughtful that she never had to ask for such a thing before.

The more Domenic thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

Nothing seemed as important as helping Lindsey.

He only wished he wasn’t so far from her.

He just wanted to hop on a plane and be by her side immediately.

“Has your grandpa caught on to your connection with Lindsey?” Arturo asked, visibly taken aback.

“I doubt it.

It’s an artist under her company that inadvertently crossed my grandpa.

I fear he might seek retribution.

”

“That’s harsh,” Arturo said, aware of Jordan’s ruthless reputation.

“I need to head back.

”

After ending the call, Domenic called Hendrix to check on Lindsey and the Lindnita Artists Agency.

Then, he rubbed his forehead and hopped on a plane that night.

The next morning, Lindsey woke up early and went to Sumner’s hospital room.

She convinced Vincent and Paige to head home and take a rest.

Then, she grabbed the cotton swab that Paige had left and gently moistened the dry Lips of Sumner with water.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Sumner was still asleep, relying on IV fluids to stay stable.

Feeling responsible for his condition, Lindsey was consumed by guilt.

The sight of Sumner’s plastered leg was a painful reminder to Lindsey of the debt she owed him.

Sumner slowly began to wake up.

He sensed the coolness and dampness on his lips.

With great effort, he managed to open his eyes, his eyelashes flutter slightly.

It took him a moment to focus on what was before him.
