My Blind Husband novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 We Must Turn Around

Cherise, a well-behaved six-year-old, never caused trouble for her aunt and uncle. She was even too afraid to tell them that she was unwell, fearing that they would abandon her. As a result, a simple cold worsened and developed into pneumonia.

Eventually, Elvis and Sarah discovered Cherise unconscious with a high fever in the chicken coop. but it was already too late. When they brought her to a doctor in the city, he informed them that Cherise urgently needed treatment or she would not survive. The treatment cost two hundred thousand.

Elvis had no choice but to search for jobs in the city’s black market. After all, he had a shady past when he was younger. Eventually, he received a job that required him to set fire to a place. The person insisted it was an empty house and no one would be there at night. Elvis was required to set fire to it due to property disputes. He would be paid two hundred thousand for the job.

Elvis found it suspicious to be paid so much for such a simple task. However, he desperately needed the money and had no choice but to proceed with it. He paced outside the house for a long time, confirming that there were no lights in the house and it seemed to be empty. Therefore, he took a nap in a corner outside the home.

By the time he woke up, it was already the appointed time. He did not pause to reconsider and immediately started a fire that burned down the house. Once he received the payment, he immediately used it to save Cherise’s life.

Later, on the second day after Cherise regained consciousness, Elvis read the news and realized that the fire had killed a young lady and injured a boy from a wealthy family. He panicked and immediately brought Cherise back to the village, swearing to never come to Adania again. However, fate had a twisted sense of humor.

Years later, Cherise was accepted into a university in Adania. She later married the young man who had been severely injured from the fire and almost couldn’t walk again.

Elvis entered the police car and closed his eyes. He calmly glanced at the police officer beside him and asked, “Do you know whether I’ll receive a death sentence for my crime?” The police officer frowned and replied, “We’re not sure.” Elvis sighed and muttered calmly, “Honestly, the death sentence will be the best. It will end everything once and for all.” He feared they would do something worse to him.

Cherise felt somber after leaving Shaw’s village. She couldn’t explain why, but she felt inexplicably anxious. She leaned into the backseat, and her discomfort grew as she pondered on the matter.

“Hubby, can we turn back?” Cherise gritted her teeth. In the end, she couldn’t help but voice her concern. “I’m worried that the two men in Uncle Shaw’s house would harm him.”

“Vivian Shaw,” she continued, “Uncle Shaw said they were the sons of his friends in the army.

However, he hadn’t been in contact with anyone from the army for a long time. He left the over twenty years ago. Why would his army friends’ sons suddenly come to see him? And why do they insist on staying?”

The more Cherise thought about it, the more absurd the situation seemed. “Hubby, something is wrong. We must turn around to check on Uncle Shaw.”

“What if they…” Cherise held her head and pondered for a long time. “Uncle Shaw is an honest man. He never offended anyone…” Then, she suddenly looked up. “Vivian’s husband has been released from prison. Could he have sent someone to harass Uncle Shaw?” Convinced of her theory, she urgently sat up and said, “No, we must turn around now!”

“Cherise,” Damien frowned slightly, “Uncle Shaw hurried us out of the house because he had something important to discuss with those people. If they had threatened Uncle Shaw, he would never have made us leave. Furthermore, those two wouldn’t have regarded us with indifference.”
