Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

A call had gone out to the fire department, but it would take some time before they showed up.

At that moment, everyone could do nothing but stand there, helpless, as the fire continued to creep.

Nobody dared to approach any closer.

Then, suddenly, a burst of flames shot from the window, causing their hearts to skip a beat.

Lindsey lifted her gaze, fixing her eyes on the room where the fire raged.

Something about it seemed oddly familiar.

Then, her gaze landed on the curtain, now ablaze and dancing in the breeze.

At that moment, her eyes widened in sudden realization!

“It’s my mother’s apartment! It’s now on fire!”

As this struck her, Lindsey was on the brink of dashing in like vrazy, but Domenic swiftly caught her arm from behind.

“It’s too risky!”

“My mother is in there! I need to save her!”

Lindsey let out a piercing scream, unable to believe her own eyes.

The fire was devouring her mother’s apartment, and her mother was still inside, expecting her return.

“Going there means you’re heading straight into death’s embrace!” It brought back memories for Domenic, memories of his parents’ tragic end.

He couldn’t bear to endanger Lindsey.

“Hold on.

The fire trucks are on their way.

”

Lindsey acted like a madwoman, disregarding everything as she darted in a frantic frenzy.

Her sole obsession at that moment was to save her mother from the raging flames! She understood that the longer her mother remained indoors, the greater the peril she faced.

She struggled to free herself from Domenic’s firm grasp, but he held on with determination, refusing to let go.

Driven by desperation, Lindsey seized his arm and sank her teeth into it with all her might.

She bit down without a second thought, oblivious to the pain it caused Domenic, causing his grip to loosen a little.

In that precious moment, she broke free and rushed into the fire, driven by sheer desperation.

Deep down, Domenic yearned to follow her, but the instant he tried to move closer, it was as if his brain got stung by an instinctual warning signal, setting off a mental alarm.

His father had dashed to the car, heedless of the danger.

The haunting memory of his father’s demise in an explosion replayed in his mind, wounding his heart.

He felt his feet were encased in lead, rendering him unable to move forward.

At that moment, a silhouette swiftly moved past him and dashed into the building ahead.

As the figure sped past him, Domenic was left utterly stunned.

He was sure that it had been Sumner who had just rushed inside.

Sumner, mirroring his father’s fearless dash to save his mother, had plunged into the fire.

Meanwhile, Domenic stood frozen, overwhelmed with fears…

It was as if Domenic’s heart had been struck with a heavy, blunt object.

He stared at the ever-growing blaze.

The man who had always been composed and unflinching now confronted an immense barrier in his soul, one he found hard to overcome.

The memory of the car explosion cast a dark shadow over his mind, leaving him consumed by nothing but fear.

Time ground to a halt for Domenic.

He stood still, surrounded by a whirlwind of activity-people bustling about, the wailing sirens of fire trucks, and firefighters.

Once inside the building, Lindsey wasted no time.

She tore a strip of fabric to cover her mouth and nose, then hurried into the room where Juanita was trapped.
