Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 555 In Sickness And In Health
Damienâs face was pale, yet he managed a weak smile. âActually, itâs quite delicious.â
âDelicious? Nonsense!â Cherise exclaimed.
âWe need to go back to the hospital, now!â
âCherise.â
Damien lifted his gaze to meet hers earnestly, âI was mistaken before.â
âI never truly understood you.â
âI had taken you for granted.â
A shadow of regret passed over his deep, dark eyes. âI should have realized it sooner.â
âYour kind nature⦠you would change yourself just to make me happy.â
With that, he let out a chuckle, âNow itâs my turn to bring happiness to you.â
âIs there something you desire that you havenât told me about?â
Cherise, seeing his pallor, urgently urged him, âStop talking and come back to the hospital with me!â
Damien sought to reassure her, âIâm fine.â
âYou call this fine?â Cheriseâs voice trembled.
âDonât you remember your gastric issues?â
âSpicy food is harmful to your stomach, and youâve been dealing with a stomach condition for two years. You canât
be this reckless!â
She helped him up and hurried him out of the room towards the exit.
Damien clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, âHow⦠how did you knowâ¦â
During their time together five years ago, there had been lingering issues with his stomach, but he hadnât been ill.
The onset of his stomach disease started three years laterâ¦.
Cherise didnât catch his question.
She guided him swiftly to the car, âIâm taking you to the hospital.â
âWhy the hospital? Youâre a doctor.â
Damien weakly chuckled in the backseat as he slumped in his seat.
Cherise frowned, âStill, we need to go.â
âThe hospital is overwhelmed today, by the time itâs my turn, Iâll be better.â

Cherise realized he was right, and she abruptly stopped the car.
The hospital was crowded with medical examinations.
âWhere are you staying?â She took a deep breath.
âSyatt.â
Cherise hesitated at the mention of the hotel. âYouâre staying there?â
Damien remained in excruciating pain, âWhatâs the matter?â
âNo, nothing.â
Cherise Shaw took a deep breath, made a U-turn, and headed towards the Syatt Hotel.
Cherise helped Damien back to the Syatt Hotelâs presidential suite and urgently contacted a gastroenterologist for
advice.
Given the doctorâs busy schedule, it took a while to receive a response, which instructed her to prepare soft food.
Cherise studied the text on her phone, her brow furrowing.
She knew he had to be put on a soft food diet.
But what about the medication?
Taking a deep breath, she poured Damien a glass of water. âDrink some water, Iâll prepare some plain porridge.
With that, she walked towards the kitchen, put on an apron, and started cooking.
Damien, lying on the bed, watched her bustling about, his heart warming at the sight.
In the pastâ¦
Cherise had always appeared busy in the kitchen.
He hadnât appreciated it then, but now he realized how precious those moments were.
With a soft sigh, he picked up the glass and sipped the water, watching her, lost in his thoughts.
