Chapter 873
Turning a deaf ear to her words, he didn’t stop and continued taking off her clothes.
Seeing that her clothes were about to be torn by him, Lindsey couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped hard on his face, shouting, “Don’t touch me!”
Instantly, the narrow bathroom quieted down, and only their breaths could be heard.
With his head tilted to one side, Domenic stood still silently, frozen.
Lindsey’s eyes were red with anger.
She slumped back, feeling totally drained.
The wall was freezing, making her shiver, but honestly, it couldn’t match the icy feeling in her heart right now.
It really hurt to be so misunderstood by Domenic.
She figured he would blow up or get mad, but she never saw it coming that his first thought would be… that she would betray him….
She fought to keep her tears at bay as she turned to face Domenic.
Even though she tried to sound steady, her voice still wavered.
“Fine.
You want to get me checked out? Sure, Go ahead.
But don’t come saying to me if you regret it later.
”
Domenic didn’t even bother to glance her way or utter a word.
So, Lindsey just went ahead and started stripping off her clothes, starting with her coat, then her shirt, and finally her underwear.
She took her sweet time, but Domenic remained as silent as ever, not lifting a finger to stop her or even casting a single glance her way.
It wasn’t until Lindsey stood there completely naked, tears streaming down her face, that she finally burst out, “Come on, look at me! Look closely! Do you see any other man’s marks on me? Have I betrayed you?”
Finally, Domenic snapped out of it and looked up at Lindsey right in front of him.
Her skin looked so smooth and flawless, not even a hickey.
She was shaking a bit, and her face had gone pale.
She used to be fearless, handling whatever came her way with ease.
But now, tears streamed down her face as she stared at Domenic.
The sight of her tears hit him like a ton of bricks, snapping him back to reality in an instant.
What had he done? He had just lashed out with some pretty nasty words.
Now, he noticed the red mark on her slender wrist from where he had grabbed her.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Instant regret flooded through Domenic.
But in the heat of the moment, he had been completely out of control, as if some kind of wild beast roaring inside him.
Lindsey must’ve been terrified of him acting so ruthlessly.

She clutched her trembling body like a scared rabbit, her tear-filled eyes brimming with disappointment.
Domenic felt a sharp pang in his heart, like a knife jabbing into it.
Hurriedly, he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Lindsey’s body.
Then, he pulled her into a tight hug and kept saying sorry with regret in his voice.
He wanted to explain that he hadn’t meant to hurt her earlier.
But now, it felt like nothing could undo the damage.
Lindsey remained silent, Like a lifeless puppet, allowing Domenic to hold her.
After a few moments, she seemed to snap out of it and pushed Domenic away forcefully.
Her voice was flat, yet tinged with a hint of sadness.
“Why did you do that to me, huh? Instead of caring about me after my car accident, why did you think I was with another man?”
Lindsey fought to get the words out, almost stumbling, “How do you know all about that night? Are you investigating me? You knew about my accident and still didn’t trust me like before.
You don’t really care about me.
You’re just selfish and possessive.
It’s all about you!”
Domenic rushed to explain, “No, I’m not! I really care about you.
I rushed back because I was worried something bad might happen to you.
”
Noticing something off in his words, Lindsey frowned and gave him a careful look.
“Why would you think I would be in an accident? Do you think it was planned?”
