Chapter 564 I Hit Myself
Upon seeing his tear-streaked face, Cherise felt overwhelming sympathy. She approached him, pursing her lips, and handed him a tissue while reassuring him. “I’m here.”
Syatt took a deep breath and accepted the tissue with a pitiful expression, wiping away his tears. “Dr. Shaw, I’m distraught.”
Cherise sat by his bedside, her lips still pursed, and gently comforted him. “It’s alright. It’s all in the
now.”
“I assure you that Damien will never appear before you again.”
Syatt’s hand froze as he wiped his tears.
He looked up at Cherise tearfully. “Why?”
Why?
It’s obviously to protect you from harm!
Cherise took a deep breath. “It’s for your safety. Moving forward…”
“For my safety?”
Syatt was taken aback. “Dr. Shaw, have you misunderstood something?”
“Where’s Mr. Lenoir?”
Cherise was dumbstruck.
“Mr. Lenoir?”
“Yes.”

Syatt’s tearful eyes blinked. “Damien and I are now as close as brothers. From now on, I’ll refer to him as Mr. Lenoir out of respect.”
Cherise was so taken aback that she was momentarily speechless.
“Didn’t you… have a fight with Damien?”
“A fight?”
Now it was Syatt’s turn to be surprised. “Why would I have a fight with him?”
Cherise pursed her lips. “What about the handprint on your face…
“This?”
Syatt touched the swollen handprint mark on his face. “I hit myself.”
Cherise was dumbfounded.
