Ch.996 Chapter 998 - Heartbreak Brings Mr...

Sumner seemed to have recovered a lot.

Noticing her, he called softly, âLindsey.

Paige paused, following Sumnerâs gaze to meet Lindseyâs, her face breaking into a delighted smile.

âLindsey, you made it here!â she exclaimed.

With a warm smile, Lindsey stepped forward, addressing Paige.

âYou must be exhausted after these past few days.

Let me take over now.

Go on and take a break.

Paige, eager to give Lindsey and Sumner some privacy, smiled warmly and said, âPerfect timing.

Iâm feeling a bit tired.

Lindsey, please look after him for me.

Then she handed the wheelchair over to Lindsey and, after exchanging a few words with Sumner, strode away.

Lindsey led Sumner on a leisurely stroll through the park.

âLindsey, howâs the Walsh Groupâs celebration going? Have you seen that mysterious CEO?â Sumnerâs voice was soft as he asked.

When the cruise incident came up, Lindsey felt a twinge of pain, a heavy weight settling in her chest.

She struggled to hold back her emotions and replied as usual, âYes, he agreed to return Cherish to my mom.

Everything is almost sorted out.

âThatâs great.

â Sumner pressed on.

âBut something feels off about you.

You sure youâre alright?â

Lindsey felt flustered, blurting out, âYeah, Iâm happy itâs resolved.

Sumner, Iâm really grateful for your help.

Couldnât have managed without that invitation.

Seriously, thank you.

Sumner let out a soft chuckle.

âIâm glad I could help out.

Makes me feel like Iâm not just sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

His words stirred a pang of sympathy in Lindsey.

Stopping the wheelchair under a tree, she approached Sumner, squatting down to meet his gaze, their eyes locking in a meaningful exchange.

âSumner, donât underestimate yourself.

Youâre really something special.

Caught in Lindseyâs genuine gaze, Sumner felt a wave of emotion wash over him.

If only his disability didnât hold him back, he would have reached out to hug her tightly.

âLindsey, can you be with me forever? With you around, Iâll keep holding onto hope.

â He gripped his trousers tightly, his plea heartfelt as he looked at her.

She glanced down, grappling with her thoughts.

Her relationship with Domenic had ended.

Now, all she wanted was Sumnerâs recovery.

With the guilt about Domenic no longer weighing on her mind, Lindsey felt a sense of peace wash over her.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to Sumner with a smile.

âIâll stick with you until youâre back on your feet.

But what would happen after that? Would she leave after he recovered?

Sumner hesitated to ask, deciding to remain silent instead.

Having her around, even for a while, brought him comfort.
