Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right by PASSION

Chapter 987

Lindsey walked into Juanita’s ward and closed the door behind her.

Even though her face was devoid of emotion, her eyes were slightly red.

She approached the bed and picked up an apple from the bedside table.

Gaze fixed on the apple, she asked in a voice barely above a whisper, “Mom, do you want an apple?”

Before Juanita could reply, Lindsey moved away and started searching the room for a knife.

She scoured the countertop and drawers frantically.

In her haste, she knocked over the bag of apples to the floor.

There was a soft thud as all the apples spilled out and rolled all over the place.

This seemed to be the final straw that broke the camel’s back and Lindsey suddenly found herself overwhelmed by all the emotions she had been trying to keep at bay.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she bit her lip tightly, refusing to let them fall.

A lump lodged itself into Juanita’s throat as she watched her daughter.

Lindsey was on the floor, trying to pick up the apples, but the rigid lines of her shoulders hinted at a different issue altogether.
