Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 155

She believed this would have thrown the Stewart family into chaos.

Even though Kendra had sorted this mess out swiftly, Lindsey had played her part.

If she could plant a seed of doubt in Benny’s mind about Kendra, he’d keep a closer watch on her.

Once the child was born and a paternity test done, Kendra’s excuses would fall flat.

That was when Benny would see who was telling the truth.

Lindsey’s headache was overwhelming, and eventually, sleep overtook her.

After a long time, a persistent knocking roused her.

“Who’s there?” Her head was pounding as she forced herself up.

The fever made her body burn with heat.

She stumbled to the door.

“Lindsey, it’s me.

Are you there?”

It was Domenic’s voice.

She opened the door to find Domenic standing there, his frown deep, worry etched in his handsome features.

“Mr.

Walsh, you’ve returned.

Is something wrong?” Lindsey could barely force her eyes open.

Noticing her red cheeks, Domenic felt her forehead and was startled.

Without waiting for Lindsey to respond, he lifted her into bed and hurried to get a thermometer.

She had a high fever!

“You’re burning up.

We need to get you to a hospital,” he said.

As he leaned down to scoop her up, Lindsey caught his wrist.

Forcing her eyes open, she murmured, “I’ve already seen a doctor.

The doctor told me it’s just for three days.

If I keep up with my meds, I’ll be okay.

”

Domenic spotted a bottle of medicine on the nightstand.

He quickly got water from the living room, came back, and helped Lindsey swallow her pills.

Her weak form on the bed, lips tinged purple from fever, stirred a deep pity in Domenic.

He fetched some cold water from the bathroom, soaked a towel, folded it neatly, and laid it on her forehead.

“Thanks, Mr.

Walsh,” she said, her voice soft.

His kind, careful attention reminded her of her mother, who, despite being busy, would nurse her through fevers with gentle patience.
