Chapter 908
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Lindseyâs gaze locked on it.
Realization dawned.
She shot up from the bedside, gripped Juanitaâs shoulders, and called out, âMom, are you awake? Did you hear our song? Wake up! Please wake up!â
Leonel, startled by her outburst, mistook it for agitation.
He quickly reached for her arm.
âLinds, calm down.
Mom is still unconscious.
â
âNo, I saw it with my own eyes! Her finger twitched, Leonel.
Momâs waking up!â Lindsey cried, tears welling up again.
Leonel glanced between the sleeping Juanita and Lindsey.
After a silent beat, he said, âIâll get the doctor.
â
He hurried out, leaving Lindsey clutching Juanitaâs hand to her cheek.
âMom, I only have you and Leonel now.
Please wake upâ¦â
A doctor soon arrived, stethoscope in hand.
After examining Juanita, he turned to the anxiously waiting pair.
âThere are signs of awakening, but I canât predict when.
Keep talking and spending time with her.
â
Joy flooded their faces.
They exchanged a tearful glance.
The doctor left.
Lindsey cleaned Juanita, then spoke softly to her.
Stealing a glance at her watch, she realized it was late.
âLeonel, I have important work calls this afternoon.
Can you stay with Mom? IâLL be back as soon as possible.
â
Leonel met her gaze.
âGo ahead.
Iâll be here.
â
Lindsey had a prearranged meeting with Reece at 2 pm.
She couldnât break her appointment.
âIâll be back soon.
Call me when necessary.
â
Leonel glanced at her, remaining silent.
At Reeceâs firm that afternoon, Lindsey handed over relevant documents.
Reece absorbed details about her partners and her agency.

Afterward, Reece walked Lindsey out.
On their way, they encountered a distressed middle-aged couple exiting another office.
Seeing Reece, they rushed over.
âMr.
Barton, canât you take my daughterâs case?â the woman pleaded.
Reece replied with a polite smile, âYour current lawyer is also highly skilled.
Theyâll fight for your victory.
â
âBut we trust you more,â the man insisted.
Then, the woman saw Lindsey beside Reece.
She was stunned for a second, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
Confused, Lindsey glanced at the weeping middle-aged woman and silently appealed to Reece for assistance.
Reece sighed and elaborated, âYou resemble their daughter in both age and appearance.
I believe you reminded her of her own daughter.
â
The middle-aged woman dried her tears and recounted, âMy daughter has a difficult life.
She fell for a playboy who, despite being wealthy, was already engaged.
He toyed with her feelings, but she couldnât move on.
Consequentlyâ¦â
Unable to continue, the woman broke down into more tears.
