Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Where Is She

“I… I mean, Mom is sick, she’s very, very ill..

“I don’t know what to do.”

The doctors… they say there’s nothing they can do…..

“They say she doesn’t have much time left….

“What should I do, Dad?”

Tears streamed down Cherise’s face. “I know you and Mom are divorced. I know you might not want to deal with Mom’s situation, but…

“Where are you?”

From the other end, Beckham’s voice trembled in an unusual wavering “Send me your location.”

“I am on my way,”

Cherise found herself unable to articulate where she was, choking on her words.

Hearing the entire conversation, Zachary grabbed the phone.

Holding the device, Zachary let out a deep sigh. “Mr. Beckham, it’s Zachary,”

“We’re at the General Hospital of the East.”

Once the call ended, he sighed again, lifting Cherise from the ground and helping her to a bench.

“You’re making it difficult for Aunt Charisa.”

Crouching down to meet her eyes, he continued, “Not only did Aunt Charisa not want you to know about her illness, she also didn’t want Mr. Beckham to know either.”

“You might not be aware, but Aunt Charisa originally married my uncle… for Mr. Beckham’s sake”

Cherise stared, shock evident in her eyes, as she met Zachary’s gaze.

“Don’t be surprised, it’s true.

Taking her hand, he continued, “There’s so much we’ve kept from you because it’s too painful to

bear”

“Aunt Charisa didn’t leave Mr. Beckham because their love faded.”
