Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Knowing Lindsey was being discharged from the hospital, Nancy arrived to pick her up.

Anticipating Lindsey might not have eaten well during her stay, Nancy decided to treat her to a French restaurant that served all of Lindsey’s favorite dishes.

“Come on, it’s on me today.

Order whatever you Like!” Nancy declared generously, handing the menu to Lindsey.

Lindsey selected a few dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter.

After the door of the exclusive dining room closed, Nancy scrutinized Lindsey, who laughed and playfully tapped Nancy’s forehead.

“I’m fine now, no need to worry!”

Nancy rubbed her forehead and then settled back into her seat with relief.

“As long as you’re okay.

I was genuinely concerned this time.

”

Lindsey felt warmth flood her heart at her best friend’s care.

They chatted about gossip and entertainment news, enjoying a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

Lindsey casually asked, “By the way, how’s work been lately?”

Nancy’s relaxed demeanor suddenly stiffened, and she seemed to deflect the topic, stuttering, “Oh, you know, everything’s fine at the company.

You just got out of the hospital.

Why rush back to thinking about work? You must be exhausted.

Take it easy and rest for a while.

As the interim head of the company, I’m giving you some time off.

No need to hurry back.

”

Lindsey sensed Nancy’s attempt to steer the conversation away.

She hesitated and asked, “Are you sure everything is alright?”

Nancy patted Lindsey’s shoulder, exuding confidence.

“Yes, don’t worry! With me there, it’s under control.

You can relax.

I’ve got it handled.

”

With Lindsey just discharged from the hospital, Nancy wanted to shield her from any business worries.

It was also curious that the companies pressing for contract terminations had suddenly backed off, granting her a breather.

Nancy rubbed her nose, suspecting Mercer had lent a hand behind the scenes.

Yet, out of pride, she hadn’t expressed gratitude to him yet.

She believed there would be plenty of time for that later.

Lindsey seemed reassured by Nancy’s words and didn’t press further.

Nancy wasn’t one to joke about business matters.

If she said it was fine, then it must be.

Lindsey smiled gently and said, “Alright, if there’s any trouble, don’t hesitate to share with me.

”

Nancy nodded slightly, focusing on her food.

After dinner, Nancy drove Lindsey home.

Before leaving, Nancy reminded Lindsey to rest well and assured her to call anytime if needed.

Lindsey nodded with a smile, watching Nancy depart before turning and heading upstairs.

As Lindsey opened her door, the entrance light automatically switched on in response to the noise.

She felt a warm rush of emotion-Domenic had arranged for this voice-activated light after learning about her fear of the dark.

Now, whenever she returned home, the light would greet her.

Standing in the illuminated hallway, Lindsey’s heart swelled with memories of Domenic.

Domenic had promised to wait for her at home.

Would he be there now?

In that moment, Lindsey yearned to see him without delay.

Her heart raced as she peered into the dark living room.

It appeared empty.

Indeed, this time of day was typically busy for Domenic, and today was Likely no exception.

Perhaps it was just an offhand comment of his.

Why had she allowed her hopes to soar so high?
