Chapter 655

Yet, a Lingering doubt persisted.

“So, having an onset and being taken to the emergency room was part of your plan?”

Lindsey whispered softly, “This isn’t part of my plan.

I must admit, your appearance was unexpected.

”

Raising her clear eyes, she met Domenic’s deep gaze.

“I never imagined I could be saved.

” A faint smile played at the corners of her mouth as she continued, “I know myself and Kendra too well.

I couldn’t endure long in such darkness.

She would find me without fail and she wouldn’t spare me.

So, I prepared for the worst from the outset.

”

That was why Lindsey had meticulously documented evidence of Kendra’s intention to kill her, forwarding it to Leonel.

The deliberate act of murder alone would put Kendra behind bars.

Never did Lindsey anticipate emerging unscathed.

Yet, even at the risk of her life, revenge was imperative.

If she could survive, that was God taking pity on her.

Domenic’s heart suddenly ached.

He gazed at Lindsey, his brows furrowed tightly, an intricate mix of emotions painting his face.

Pressing Lindsey gently onto the bed, he braced both hands near her ears, peering deeply into her eyes.

Though he had much to express, he spoke hoarsely, “Why do you persist in such recklessness? You can confide in me; I will assist you.

”

“What can you do about matters beyond even the reach of the law?

We’re just ordinary people, limited in our abilities.

If the world’s injustice persists despite conventional means, I’ll take an extreme and extraordinary step.

Even if it costs me my life, I won’t let the wicked go unpunished.

This is my choice.

I don’t want you to be involved.

Besides, once you know, you’ll definitely try to stop me, won’t you?” Determination blazed in Lindsey’s eyes, causing Domenic’s heart to miss a beat.

“Linds, actually I…”

“What do you want to say?” She interrupted, noticing his hesitant expression.

Domenic clenched his fists, longing to reveal his true identity to Lindsey.

He had the ability to aid her, and he had already done so.

But the potential repercussions of disclosing his identity led him to remain silent.

After a moment, he sighed lightly.

“You’re right.

I will try to stop you.

”

“But I will do it.

” Her gaze met his squarely.

As their eyes locked, he was the first to yield.

Bending over, he buried his head in Lindsey’s neck, his warm breath brushing against her skin.

“It’s itchy,” she remarked, adjusting her neck.

“Just a moment.

” With his head down, Lindsey couldn’t discern his expression, prompting her to wrap her arms around his waist.
