Chapter 566 Damienâs Search
âHe didnât choose to have such a father or family either.â
âItâs just like how you couldnât believe that your uncle would commit arson and murder. Understandably, he didnât
believe his father was a rapist.â
âIf you have feelings for him, donât overthink it.â
Cherise sighed and rested her weight on the table, exhaling softly.
After lunch, Cherise made her rounds and checked on her patients in their rooms.
Syatt was the last patient she visited.
âMrs. Lenoir.â
Cherise frowned. âPlease donât call me that.â
âAlright, alright.â
Syatt nodded and eagerly took Cheriseâs hand. âMrs. Lenoir, when will you reconcile with Mr. Lenoir?â
Cherise was flabbergasted.
She found it somewhat amusing. âDid Damien drug you? Why have you suddenly started defending him?â
âHe didnât drug me.â
Syatt took a deep breath and pulled out his cell phone. âMr. Lenoir showed me a video.â
âTake a look.â
Cherise furrowed her brows and leaned in.
His phone screen played scenes captured with a handheld video camcorder. The footage showcased Shawâs village.
âCherise, this is Shawâs village. You probably donât recognize it anymore, do you?â
âItâs because of the money I invested with Jack last time. He really did lead the village to prosperity.â
âUncle Shaw and Aunt Wanda moved back while Sky and Tay got into college,â
The scene shifted to a small bridge and river in the village. âYou and Blake used to catch fish here, and I could only
watch from the side.â
âCherise, many fish are in the river now, and Iâd love to catch fish with you. Would you come back to me again?
Cheriseâs college campus was shown next. âI asked the dean and your classmates. They said you like to study at
this spot in the square every morning.â
âYou previously said you wanted me to eat in the cafeteria and study with you.â
âIf you come back to me, Iâll do these things with you.â

Finally, the scene switched to Damienâs stubbled face. âCherise, this is the thirty-fifth day since Iâm remorseful and
want to find you, but you wonât see me.â
The scenes kept changing.
âCherise, this is the sixtieth day Iâve been looking for you.â
âItâs been 120 days.â
â365 days have passed.â
âIâve been looking for you for 1099 days.â
Damienâs cold face appeared each time. âIâm waiting for you to come back.â
The video editing wasnât perfect, but each scene was enough to bring tears to Cheriseâs eyes.
you left.
Syatt sighed lightly. âMr. Lenoir said he started broadcasting this video on advertising screens in major cities around
the world two years ago, hoping you would know heâs waiting for you.â
âBut⦠it seems like youâve never seen it.â
Cherise stared blankly at the video on Syattâs phone as she wiped her eyes. The corners of her eyes were filled with
tears.
The woman sniffled. âCan you send me a copy of this video?â
âOf course!â
Syatt nodded and quickly emailed the video to Cherise. âSpeaking of which, Dr. Shaw, arenât you moved. by
everything Mr. Lenoir has done for you?â
Cherise nodded as she saw the video file in her inbox. âOf course, Iâm moved.â
âSo, will you two reconcile?â
Syatt still looked at Cherise with the same adoring gaze as before. âDoes it mean youâre close to forgiving him if
youâre moved?â
He looked at Cherise seriously. âMr. Lenoir is sincere about you, Dr. Shaw.â
âHe told me a lot about what happened when he was looking for you all these years when he showed me this video
earlier this afternoon.â
