Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Paige quickly wiped away her tears and greeted Lindsey with a strained smile, offering support so she could sit next to her.

She also motioned for Xiomara to join them.

“How are you feeling? When did you wake up?” Paige asked worriedly, taking Lindsey’s hand and gently rubbing it.

“I woke up last night.

The doctor assured me it’s nothing serious, and I should be discharged in a few days,” Lindsey responded truthfully.

Paige nodded before her gaze shifted to Sumner, her eyes brimming with tears.

“I don’t know when Sumner will wake up.

It’s been two days.

This situation is really tearing us apart…” she said, sobbing.

“Mrs.

Lopez, I’m really sorry…” Lindsey couldn’t help but apologize as she felt a surge of guilt.

“This is all my fault…” She paused, gathering the courage to confess, “Sumner was hurt while trying to protect me…”

“No, dear, you’re not to blame,” Paige responded with a sad smile, dismissing Lindsey’s self-blame.

““Sumner’s life has been challenging from the start.

His mother left after he was born, and his father disowned him.

He never once visited and chose another family over him.

Although we’ve adopted Sumner, we can’t fill the void left by his biological parents.

Despite his cheerfulness, he is deeply sensitive and fears losing those close to him.

He’s incredibly loyal to those he cares about…”

As Paige spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks once more.

Lindsey’s heart got heavier with sorrow.

She glanced at the man lying unconsciously on the bed, and guilt overwhelmed her once again.

She attempted to comfort Paige by wiping her tears with a tissue, but Paige took the tissue from her hand and continued, “Sumner’s still so young, just beginning his journey in the workforce, but now… his leg.

What if he never walks again? Vincent and I can take care of him now, but what about the future? After we’re gone, who will be there for him?”

Paige’s voice caught in her throat as she spoke, and it brought tears to everyone in the room.

Xiomara listened quietly.

Her eyes were turning red as tears welled up in them too.

She was dying to tell them that she could totally take care of Sumner.

She was willing to do it for as long as they needed, even if it meant for a lifetime.

She couldn’t even recall when she started having such a big crush on Sumner.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Maybe it was from the very first time they met.

Or perhaps it was when he didn’t judge her for her weight, but instead swiftly carried her to the car and drove her to the hospital when she fainted from taking the wrong drugs.

It might’ve been when he paid her medical bills and then took care of her patiently.

In her whole life, no man had ever treated her as nicely as Sumner did.

It was surprising how liking someone could feel both tough and simple at the same time.

No matter if Sumner could walk or not in his lifetime, she just wanted to be with him in any way possible.

Moreover, when she found out Sumner had hurt his leg badly, she felt kind of weirdly happy inside, thinking she finally had the chance to take care of him.

The next moment, Xiomara got totally freaked out by her own crazy thought.

She also realized that her crush on Sumner was getting pretty intense.

Maybe she couldn’t love anyone else in her life except Sumner anymore.

But it seemed she didn’t have much of a say in this situation.

She softly bit her lip, unsure if she should speak her mind.

Suddenly, a voice cut in.

Lindsey was the first to break the silence.

“Mr.

and Mrs.

Lopez, don’t worry.

” It looked like Lindsey had finally made up her mind.

She stood up from her chair and promised Vincent and Paige in a serious tone, “I’ll take care of Sumner until he can walk again.

”

Xiomara’s heart skipped a beat out of the blue.

She lifted her head and glanced at Lindsey in shock.

Didn’t Lindsey have a boyfriend?

Weren’t they getting married soon? How could her boyfriend be okay with her taking care of Sumner? Another thing that concerned Xiomara was Sumner’s crush on Lindsey.

What if spending a lot of time together while Looking after him made them develop feelings for each other?

Xiomara’s mind was in turmoil, pondering the possibilities.

When Paige heard this, she gently patted Lindsey’s hand and said, “I know you’re a kind person, but you have a boyfriend now.

Even if he’s okay with it for mow, you’ll eventually get married.

After marriage, will your husband still be okay with you taking care of another man?”

Lindsey was unsure what to say for a moment.

Paige really got it right.

Would Domenic be okay with Sumner being part of their Lives?

No man could be okay with his wife always taking care of another man.
