Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 617 True Love
Both she and Charles had scars on their faces when they first met.
They were both survivors of a devastating fire, seeking a second chance at life in the hospital.
Their paths crossed, love blossomed, and she finally understood the true essence of love.
âTrue love does exist,â she declared.
After sharing those words, Maeve looked at Lucy and whispered, âMs. Staber, Lenn has been searching for you all
these years.â
Lucyâs grip on the black card tightened.
Lennon had been⦠searching for her all these years? â
She was so busy that she could barely recall who Lennon was.
She shook her head, âSearching for what?â
âEven if he found me, thereâs no valid reason for us to reunite,â Lucy muttered, leaving immediately.
As Lucyâs hands brushed against the doorknob, Maeve sighed, âLenn hasnât been well these past few years.â
âHow does it concern me?â
Lucy scoffed and strode out of the ward.
The breeze in the corridor left her feeling a bit chilly.
She wrapped herself in her white coat as a cold shiver filled her heart.
The haunting echoes of Lennonâs anguished voice during their breakup reverberated in her
cars.
âLucy, Iâm not a substitute for the family love youâre seeking!â
âYou donât have to force yourself to be with me just because your mother donated your kidney to me!â
Lucy gave a bitter smile.
He hadnât been doing well these years?
He deserved it.
Due to Cherryâs recent unusual behavior, David couldnât help but feel that something was amiss with her lately.
So when Cherry went to the director and dean to request leave for a shopping trip with Lucy, David exchanged a
knowing glance with Mr. Carlos.â
Mr. Carlos beamed, quickly approved the leave, and said, âCherry, if youâre feeling down, go out and enjoy yourself,
donât overthink!â
âLulu is your best friend. Let her accompany you
and open your heart!â
âEnjoy yourself for a few days, then return and focus on your work!â
Cherise nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
As she left Mr. Carlosâ office, she noticed that the leave was for two days.
She frowned as she had only requested one day.
She quickly turned back and pushed open the office door.
Mr. Carlos was on a call in his office.
âLulu, yes,
Iâve approved the leave.â
âDavid mentioned Cherryâs recent unusual behavior. Sheâs trying to reopen Isaacâs case from years ago. Do you
think sheâs not thinking clearly?â
âYes, you should advise her not to do anything recklessâ¦â
âI think she might be under immense pressure lately; could she be depressed?â
âIf you an persuade her, that would be ideal. If not, we do have a psychiatric departmentâ¦â
Cherise was standing outside the door and felt numb.
In David and Mr. Carlosâ opinion, did Cherryâs recent effort to reopen Isaacâs case suggest mental instability?
The woman discreetly sighed and closed the door, avoiding embarrassment.
On the way to the mall, Cherise wasnât surprised to be teased by Lucy the entire way.
âWhat was Damien thinking, trying to reopen your case?â
âWhy did he make you apologize to David?â
âThis is outrageous!â
âReopening a case involving a competitor from years ago, especially at the peak of oneâs career, seems
counterproductive and self-sabotaging. Who would even consider such a move?â
