Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 736 Meeting Zacharyâs Fiancée
The man narrowed his eyes. âLetâs wait for him to regain consciousness, alright? Iâve already requested Mr.
Hampson to investigate.â
âThereâs no need to investigate. It was Ursula.â Cherise shut her eyes, a bitter smile forming on her lips.
Rowena hadnât done anything since Cherise had subtly warned her in the emergency room. Cherise had assumed
Rowena was retreating and backing down. She hadnât anticipated the Mortis sisters to be scheming behind her
back.
If it wasnât for Damien and Zachary today, that truck would likely have already crushed her.
The Mortis sisters were merciless. Cherise hadnât exposed Rowena before everyone, yet Rowena and Ursula were
plotting to kill her.
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital. As Cherise disembarked from the vehicle, she caught sight. of
medical personnel carrying Zachary through the gaps between Damienâs fingers.
Zacharyâs eyes were shut, and his face was bloody. The blood on his body had even stained the stretcher beneath
him crimson. Cherise inexplicably felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Cherise sat on the bench outside
the emergency room. She silently stared at the red light outside the room that indicated the space was occupied.
This was her first time experiencing how tormenting that red light looked.
She had enthusiastically planned where to take Zachary and his fiancée just a few hours ago, but this man was in
the emergency room because of her a few hours later.
A girl in a floral dress rushed over shortly. âExcuse me, is Zachary Miles in this emergency room?â
The girl had an oval face and round eyes. Her black hair was tied into two ponytails, and a beige hair clip was on
her head. She looked very young, like a well-mannered and adorable high school student.
Cherise furrowed her brows and looked up subconsciously.
âYes. Zachary is inside. Damien held Cheriseâs hand and spoke softly. âAnd you are?â
Im his fiancée. The girl pursed her lips and glanced anxiously at the red light above the emergency room. âAre you
his friends? How long has he been in there?â
Cherise, who had been silent since entering the hospital, spoke hoarsely. âHalf an hour.â
She looked up and carefully sized up the girl who seemed significantly younger than herself. âAre you⦠the fiancée
he mentioned on the phone?â
The girl was taken aback. She quickly nodded and extended her hand politely. âYou must be Cherise Shaw. He talks
about you often.â
âMy name is Lyra Quinnell. You can call me Lyra.â The girlâs fingers lightly squeezed her backpackâs straps, and she
spoke somewhat nervously. âHe said he was coming ahead of time to give you a surprise. How did
get into a car accident?â

Cherise closed her eyes and was momentarily at a loss for words. âLyra, you⦠need to be prepared.â She looked up
at the girl before her. âZachary appears⦠to be seriously injured.â
The girl was stunned. She had just grasped the gravity of the situation. âHe⦠wonât be in danger, will he?â Her dark
gaze dimmed. âWe just⦠got engaged not long ago.â
Once Lyra started speaking, Cheriseâs heart suddenly began to ache. It was her fault. The Mortis sisters had taken
advantage of her kindness and used this opportunity to harm her.
If she had told Damien about what had happened three years ago and exposed Rowenaâs lies from the start,
Zachary, who had come to surprise her, wouldnât have been injuredâ¦
âItâs all my fault.â The woman helplessly ran her fingers through her hair. âIâm the one to blameâ¦
