Chapter 556
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 556 You Can Do It
Damien received a concerned message from Maeve on his phone. âHow was it, bro?â
âI just got word from the nurse that Dr. Shaw had flushed cheeks and left with an attractive man. Where did you
take her?â
Damien smiled wryly. He picked up his phone and started to reply. âSince when have you taken such an interest in
me and Cherise?â
âI should have shown concern long ago.â
Maeve expressed remorse on the other end. âI regret not understanding the dynamics of love back then. If I had, I
certainly wouldnât haveâ¦â
âBut thatâs all in the past. You should now focus on winning Cherise back and bringing the two Lenoir children back!â
A faint smile appeared on Damienâs face. âI wish I could.â
As he typed those words on his phone, he glanced towards the kitchen with a soft smile playing on his lips. âButâ¦
the journey is long and filled with challenges.â
On the other end, Maeve frowned. âYou can do it.â
âIf you can win Cherise back⦠I wonât mind severing ties with you as the Tanner family demanded five
years ago.â
âAs long as youâre happy.â
The words on the phone weighed heavily on Damienâs heart.
Before meeting Charles three years ago, most of Maeveâs life was dedicated to her family.
Apart from seeking justice for her parents, she wanted Damien to have a better life.
Even though she saw that Damien was now living a good life, it could have been better.
Now, she was willing to make such a sacrifice for Damien and Cherise to reunite..
Damien took a deep breath. He picked up his phone and typed solemnly. âI wonât sever ties with you.â
âI want both my family and Cherise in my life.â
Five years had passed.
He was no longer the Damien who had to live according to other peopleâs plans.
He didnât want to give up anything. He wanted to have it all.
âThe stew is ready. Itâs a little hot.â
The petite woman left the kitchen and placed the steaming stew on the bedside table.
âYou can have it later.â

She quickly removed her apron and put on her coat. âIâm heading to the nearby pharmacy to get some stomach
medicine for you. Iâll be back shortly.â
Damien acknowledged it softly. He leaned against the headboard and gazed at her tiny face, his dark eyes. filled
with affection. âHurry back.â
Cherise was speechless.
She momentarily felt electrified by the intensity of the manâs gaze.
She quickly looked away. âThe pharmacy is just around the corner.â
With that, she left without looking back.
Damien leaned against the headboard as he watched her leave. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
After purchasing the medicine as prescribed by the gastroenterologist from the pharmacy, Cherise hurriedly
entered the Syatt Hotel.
Cherise was in such a rush due to her concern for Damien that she failed to notice the other patrons in the lobby on
the ground floor.
âIsnât that Dr. Shaw?â
A man murmured as he lounged on the lobby sofa. He squinted slightly, watching as Cherise headed. towards the
elevator.
The man in black sitting across from him paused. âDr. Shaw?â
âDr. Shaw from Adania Hospital⦠who previously performed my heart surgery?â
âYes.â
The man in black stood up and walked towards the reception in long strides. âCheck which room Dr. Shaw
Went to.
The receptionist nodded nervously, âAlright, sir. Iâll check immediately.â
When Cherise returned to the room, the stew on Damienâs bedside table remained untouched.
The woman set down the medicine she had purchased from the pharmacy. She turned to him and asked, âDonât
it? Why havenât you eaten?â
