Chapter 405

Domenic took the necklace from Lindsey’s hand and placed it around her neck.

He revealed, “It’s known as Blood of the Heart, symbolizing that you are the very essence of my heart.

”

It turned out that the red diamond embodied such a significant and heartfelt meaning.

Lindsey was profoundly moved, a wave of emotions welling within her.

As Domenic looked up at her, she reached out, encircling his neck, and leaned in, eager to ki*s his lips once more.

Maybe Lindsey put a bit too much enthusiasm into her action, as a sharp pain suddenly shot through her head, turning her tender ki*s into a grimace of discomfort.

Domenic found her reaction amusing and couldn’t contain his laughter.

“Weren’t you the one who just reminded us that we’re in a hospital?

You should take it easy, don’t tempt me too much, or I might lose my control of myself.

Once you’ve recovered, we can be as intimate as you wish.

”

“Domenic, you should practice some self-control, it’s healthier that way!” Lindsey said, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Yet, this was the first time she had seen Domenic laugh so heartily, so freely.

Despite her initial embarrassment, she found herself joining in his laughter.

“Speaking of which, where is Chayce? What happened to him in the end?”

Lindsey’s laughter suddenly stopped as she inquired.

“Don’t worry.

The police have apprehended him.

He won’t be a threat to you again,” Domenic reassured her, though his expression grew slightly grim.

“I always knew he wasn’t a go

od person, but I never thought he’d sink so low as to take money from Kendra and Shelia to target me,”

Lindsey said, her brows furrowed in frustration.

She pondered over what might have happened if Domenic hadn’t arrived when he did – a chilling thought of her possibly floating lifeless in the ocean.

Domenic, observing Lindsey, said in a gentle tone, “Those two women seem to be constantly troubling you.

Would you like me to step in?”

“Nope.

I’ll handle them myself,” Lindsey firmly stated, gripping the edge of her blanket.

She was resolved to confront Kendra and Shelia herself, determined to deal with them on her own!

Domenic chose not to push the matter.

Though he wouldn’t interfere openly, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t provide subtle assistance.

He had his own way of dealing with those who dared harm his beloved.

“Oh no, Nancy must be getting anxious with me being out so late.

I should call her,”

Lindsey said, reaching for her phone.

However, Domenic gently caught her wrist.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to her,” he assured her.

“What? When was this?” Lindsey’s eyes widened in surprise.

“She called while you were unconscious, so I picked up.
