Chapter 900

Then he turned around so that he wouldn’t see Lindsey’s lonely and sad expression.

He was scared that it would instantly undermine his determination to go through with what he had just declared.

But just as he was about to walk away, he was suddenly embraced from behind.

Two arms tightly gripped his waist, the warmth of the embrace making him freeze in place.

Lindsey’s choked voice came from behind, “Domenic, I take it back.

I was lying when I told you that I didn’t want to hold you back.

I want to be with you, I want to marry you and become your wife, I want to have babies with you.

I consulted a doctor recently.

If Sumner can persist in his rehabilitation training, it will take him three to five years at most, to stand up and walk on his own.

Since he saved my life twice, I just want to repay his kindness.

I don’t really love him.

The only person I love… is you! Wait for me, Domenic, okay?”

She was all but begging him.

This stirred Domenic’s heart.

Despite being known for being usually calm and composed, he now had red eyes.

He put his hand over

Lindsey’s, with the intention of holding her tightly, but he quickly checked himself.

He desperately wanted to tell her that the reason for the breakup wasn’t because he was impatient.

In fact, he could wait for her to repay her debt of gratitude, be it a year, ten or even twenty years.

He could even wait for her all his life.

But what he feared most was that being with him would cause Lindsey harm.

In order to ensure her safety and happiness in life, he had no other choice but to leave her.

Ever since his parents died, his life had been only filled with darkness, but that was until Lindsey appeared in his world.

Just when he thought he had finally caught that ray of light again, it turned out to be fleeting.

Lindsey was intelligent, determined, and independent.

She also had a man Like Sumner who was willing to risk his life for her.

Domenic knew that it was very possible for her to live a stable and fulfilling life without him and without being exposed to the hidden dangers of his family.

Remembering his mother’s fate, Domenic couldn’t help but feel as if his heart was being torn apart.

Unfortunately, history could easily repeat itself.

But Lindsey’s life was very important to him.

He would never expose it to any danger.

Hence, he had to let her go so that she would be safe forever.

The pain he was feeling was only temporary.

He was sure that it would soon dissipate.

Perhaps, she too would forget about him before long.

With this thought in mind, Domenic forced a smile to his face and unwound Lindsey’s hand from around his waist.

Struggling greatly to suppress his inner emotions, he said in a cold tone, “Lindsey, I can’t wait for you for such a long time.

Let’s go our separate ways.

”

Lindsey clung to Domenic from behind, her embrace tightening with each sob that escaped her.

His heart ached at the sound of her sorrow.

“No, I won’t let you go,” she insisted, her voice trembling.

“Not unless you tell me you don’t love me anymore!”

Domenic took a deep breath.

The thought of saying he didn’t love her was more agonizing than the breakup itself.

But he had no other choice.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and through gritted teeth, he forced out the words, “I… I don’t love you anymore.

”

Lindsey stood frozen in shock.

“What did you say?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

“I don’t love you anymore,” Domenic repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.

Yet, it seemed to drain all the strength he had left.

Although shocked, Lindsey’s arms instinctively tightened around him.

“I don’t believe it!” she exclaimed, her eyes searching his face for any sign of deception.

“And why…” she continued, her gaze shifting to his wrist, “why are you still wearing the bracelet I gave you if you don’t love me?”
