Chapter 529 Five Dollars
In the past, Cherise was a woman of firm principles.
Once she had decided something, she wouldn’t easily change her mind.
If she believed that a relationship was over, she would sever all ties with the man.
However, the current Cherise seemed different.
Before long, the steady rhythm of her breathing began to deepen.
It was clear that she was exhausted.
Damien observed her for a while before he sighed, rose from his seat, and exited the car.
His silenced phone displayed several missed calls from Charles.
He dialed Charles’ number as he ascended the stairs. “What’s the matter?”
“Maeve is awake.
Charles’ voice was heavy. “She wants to see you.”
“Alright.”
Damien closed his eyes and took a deep breath before pivoting to board the elevator.
A minute later, he appeared in Maeve’s ward.
“Dame.”
With Charles’ assistance, Maeve propped up on the bed and looked at her brother, who now seemed like a stranger, “My attending physician… is Cherise.”
Damien’s brow furrowed as he sat down. “So, do you still harbor prejudice against Cherise even until now?”
“She saved your life.”
Maeve’s face turned paler.
She shook her head, and her lips trembled slightly. “I don’t hold any prejudice against her…”
“The nurse told me earlier that… she’s married and has a child.”
A hint of coldness flashed across Damien’s stern fac. “That’s impossible.”
“But it’s the truth.”
