NovelApexChapter 1344:
Those words made Linsey think unexpectedly of the masked man she had crossed paths with the day before.
Gorman noticed her distraction and waved a hand in front of her. “Linsey?”
A slight start, and Linsey returned to the present.
Misreading her silence, Gorman put on an apologetic look and said, “I hope | didn’t make you uncomfortable. If

Gorman to object; all he could do was wait in the parking lot until she got back.
The restaurant wasn’t far away. Linsey dashed through the rain as quickly as she could. Still, she couldn’t keep
from getting drenched.
As she finally made it up the restaurant steps, she spotted a man in a wheelchair nearby and called out in a
bright, hopeful voice, “Excuse me, sir!”

Collin paused, his hands still on the wheels. Something about her voice tugged at his memory—it was strikingly
familiar. He started to turn around, but Linsey rushed toward him before he could.

After all, the man from last night had been strong and sure-footed, while the man before her was confined to a
wheelchair. The difference was impossible to ignore.
A cold glare from Collin cut through her thoughts. “Enjoying the view?” he snapped. “Stare any longer, and |
might just take your eyes.”
