Chapter 833

Upon hearing Nancy’s words, Lindsey was stricken with disbelief.

She remained stunned, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

“How could this happen? It’s all my fault…”

The memory of Sumner’s heroic act, saving her and her mother from the flames that engulfed her mother’s apartment, flashed vividly in her mind.

Without him, she would’ve been consumed by the fire.

Now, in his valiant effort to save her once more, Sumner lay grievously wounded, possibly facing a lifetime of disability.

Lindsey felt like a heavy stone had lodged itself in her chest, suffocating her with each labored breath.

She owed Sumner more than a mere life debt.

The weight of her indebtedness felt insurmountable.

With a worried gaze, Nancy tenderly brushed Lindsey’s hair, offering solace.

“Linds, please don’t be too hard on yourself.

The doctor emphasized rest for your recovery.

No one could have foreseen this.

It’s not your fault.

Just lie down and focus on healing.

”

But how could Lindsey rest when it was because of her that Sumner found himself in his current state? How could she face him, let alone repay his selfless kindness?

Self-loathing consumed her.

If only she had insisted on staying in today, perhaps this dreadful accident could have been avoided.

She found herself at a loss, unsure of how to confront Sumner or even begin to repay him.

Nancy gently guided the dazed Lindsey to lie down, comforting her like a nurturing guardian.

“Linds, try to rest.

Things will look brighter when you wake up.

Trust me, everything will be alright.

”

Meanwhile, in Mubluosia, a line of sleek black cars came to a halt outside Herbert’s private villa.

A line of bodyguards dressed in black attire disembarked from the cars, each exuding an air of professionalism.

One of them approached the last car with deference, stooping respectfully to open the door.

Two young men of exceptional demeanor emerged from the car.

Arturo casually adjusted his sunglasses, his gaze fixed on the villa before him.

“We’ve arrived.

”

Following a subtle cue from Domenic, someone promptly dashed forward to ring the doorbell.

Yet there was no response even after a prolonged wait.

Domenic’s voice, deep and resonant, carried a note of uncertainty as he inquired, “Are you certain he’s inside?”

Arturo nodded in confirmation.

“The place has been under constant surveillance, just as you instructed.

It’s undeniable that your Uncle Herbert hasn’t left the premises since his arrival yesterday.

”

Domenic raised his hand, issuing a commanding gesture to the bodyguards positioned behind him.

“Break down the door.

”

They promptly advanced, swiftly dismantling the door within seconds.

Domenic wasted no time; as he entered, a glint of cold light caught his attention.

Reacting instinctively, his eyes narrowed, and his reflexes kicked in.

With a swift movement, he bent down, narrowly evading the ambush.

Seeing Domenic’s deft evasion only fueled Herbert’s fury.

With a fierce wave of his dagger, he launched a reckless onslaught, stabbing indiscriminately at Domenic’s body.

Despite Herbert’s attempts, it was evident that he stood no chance against Domenic’s well-prepared men.

Swiftly, they subdued Herbert, forcefully pinning him to the ground.

Domenic himself intervened, swiftly kicking away the dagger from Herbert’s grasp.

Despite Herbert’s vigorous struggles, he remained firmly held down by Domenic’s men, his body pressed hard against the floor.

“Are you alright?” Arturo glanced over at Domenic, who shook his head in response.

With Herbert now firmly under control, Domenic composedly positioned himself in front of him, lowering himself halfway to meet Herbert’s gaze.

His expression remained impassive.

“Uncle Herbert, your tactics have sunk to new lows.

What’s this? Are you trying to kill me, your nephew?”

Herbert spat in anger, his scarlet eyes blazing with fury as he directed a glare at Domenic, cursing, “Domenic, you wretched bastard! You’re cruel and merciless! You’re even plotting against your uncle! And here you are, spouting nonsense.

I curse you to never find peace in death and to rot in hell!”
