Chapter 149 No One Compares to You
Damien maneuvered his wheelchair onto the rooftop. He saw Cherise standing with her back facing him and shouting something into the wind.
Although he could not catch every word, he heard this clearly, “I’m useless.”
She thinks she is useless.
“Cherise.”
Cherise froze while venting her frustration when she heard Damien’s deep voice.
She turned around and looked at him with teary eyes. “Why are you on the rooftop?”
He’s blind, and the rooftop’s barricades are not secure enough. What if he accidentally fell?
At that thought, she sniffled and rushed to hold his wheelchair still. She pushed him toward the elevator. “You can’t be here. Go back!”
He reached out and clasped her hand. “You’re here. Why can’t I be here?”
“It’s different for you.”
Cherise pursed her lips. “I can see, but you can’t! It’s too dangerous!”
“Since it’s dangerous, it’s even more so the reason for you to be with me.”
Damien pointed his face toward the sky and felt the wind against his skin. “It’s been a long time since I come so high to feel the wind.”
Cherise stopped pulling him toward the elevator.
She pursed her lips. “Dear, do… you wish to stay here to feel the wind?”
Damien nodded. “You must stay with me. I can’t see. You have to act as my eyes.”
Cherise froze at his words.
After a while, she looked down and replied, “I think Blake is more qualified to do this.”
“He’s skilled with self-defense. He can not only act as your eyes but also protect you…”
“I…”
“No one compares to you in my eyes.”

Damien smiled and held the hand on his wheelchair. “Cherry, do you know how much. criticism I’ve faced since I was little?”
Cherise pursed her lips and remained silent.
She knew what he meant.
Even Bernard dared to tell him that he was bad luck. Others must have said worse things.
Damien’s whisper floated in the wind. “Some people said I’m cursed.”
Cherise shook her head. “I know you’re not cursed.”
