Maybe everything would be over after tonight.


    “I’m fine,” Lindsey responded, her disguise impressively fooling even Domenic.


    “Linds, I met a priest at the church today.


    Guess what he said to me?”


    Domenic said mysteriously, keeping Lindsey in suspense and sparking her curiosity.


    “What did he say?”


    With a soft chuckle, Domenic shared, “He said you’d get what you want after today.


    ”


    Lindsey’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of tonight.


    Mustering a forced smile, she replied, “Really? Then, I hope, I really would.


    ”


    “If something good indeed happens, I’ll pick you up tomorrow to celebrate it,” Domenic offered cheerfully.


    Despite Domenic’s upbeat mood, Lindsey responded casually, “Okay.


    ”


    After the call ended, Domenic reclined in his leather chair, recalling his subordinate’s recent report: Kendra, Lindsey’s stepmother, was the actual perpetrator behind the arson case.


    All they needed now was to locate Marisa’s child to incriminate Kendra.


    Domenic’s men far surpassed the abilities ofw enforcement.


    Each member possessed specialized training, serving as Domenic’s personal elite guard, adept at ndestine operations, and capable of resolving any arduous task on his behalf.


    Their expertise allowed Domenic to maintain an unassable stance within the tumultuous business realm, wielding numerouspetitors‘ weaknesses in his grasp.


    With the child’s location secured, Domenic’s men prepared to retrieve the child swiftly-tonight, precisely.


    It would be a surprise for Lindsey, orchestrated by Domenic himself.


    Regrettably, Lindsey remained entirely oblivious to these unfolding events.


    As dusk settled, Lindsey closed herptop and departed from the tranquil cafe.


    With a call to Benny, she discovered he had to attend a dinner party that very night.


    “Dad, could youe to the hospital to visit my mom after the dinner party?”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Benny realized he hadn’t yet visited Juanita at the hospital upon hearing Lindsey’s request.


    Eager to please his daughter, he promised, “Okay, I’ll head there once I’m done.


    ”


    Arriving at the hospital, Lindsey found her mother had been moved to a regr bed, her condition stabilized.


    It was Leonel who had been dutifully caring for her during this period.


    Concerned for Leonel’s well-being, Lindsey urged him to rest for the night, assuring him she would wait for Benny at the hospital.


    As she tenderly wiped Juanita’s face with a towel, Lindsey leaned in and whispered softly to her mother.


    “Mom, I have something to tell you, something I’ve been too stubborn to express.


    Mom, I’m sorry.


    When I was young, I said too many harsh words to you.


    I’ve always regretted it deeply.


    When I met you again, I was overwhelmed with happiness.


    I wanted to apologize and plead for you never to leave me again.


    But, that day, I still argued with you.


    ”


    Her voice quivered slightly as she continued, “I know you did everything for my well-being, but I can make my own decisions now.
