Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 805 The Joyful Awakening
Amidst the chaos, Raymond and the groom were rushed to the hospital, and the groomâs awakening
marked the joyous conclusion of the wedding.
Now dressed comfortably, Lyra sat on a hospital bench outside Zacharyâs room, holding Cheriseâs hand
tightly. âCherry, Iâm really scared,â she whispered, her face pale with panic.
âYou werenât this nervous when you said you wanted to marry my brother, so why are you acting like a
scaredy-cat now that Zacâs awake?â Kareen retorted, sitting down across from them with her arms
crossed.
Lyra bit her lip and stammered, âI thought I could be strong for him and take care of him while he was in
a coma. But now that heâs regained consciousness⦠he might think that I was pushing too hard for this
wedding. His proposal was sudden, andâ¦â
She choked back a sniffle, âHe still had feelings for⦠Zac was still hung up on Cherry back then, and
what if he regrets everything?â
Tears welled up in her eyes, painting her cheeks a rosy hue. âIf he does⦠maybe we should just go to
the courthouse tomorrow morning and get it over withâ¦â
Lyra nodded, but unease lingered in her mind. Muttering to herself, âWhat ifâ¦â
Cherise gently squeezed her hand. âLyra, there are no what ifs, so stop catastrophizing. Breaking up or
staying together, itâs not all up to you, honey. We also have to consider Zacâs feelings, right?â
She gave a slight smile, ready to offer more comfort to Lyra when the door to the room swung open.
Several doctors who had been examining Zachary emerged with smiles and approached Lyra, âMrs.
Miles, Mr. Miles is doing well now. With some good rest, heâll be back to his old self!â
Lyra was pleasantly surprised, âI⦠Iâm not Mrs. Miles; just call me Lyra.â
The doctors exchanged puzzled looks, âOh? You⦠arenât Mrs. Miles?â
Had they made a mistake? Didnât this woman just come in wearing a wedding dress? Was there
another bride?
As the doctors started speculating about a love triangle, Cherise intervened, saying, âDonât mind her
rambling; sheâs just too excited and talking nonsense!â
After that, she nudged Lyra into the room and shut the door. When Cherise returned after closing the
door, Kareen chatted with the doctors about Zacharyâs condition.
After bidding farewell to the doctors, Kareen glanced at the closed door and asked, âIs she in there?â
Cherise nodded, âYes.â
Kareen shook her head, almost amused, âWhat a fool.â
Then, facing Cherise, s.
said, âJust like you, a fool.â
Cherise frowned, âExcuse me, who are you calling a fool?â

Kareen rolled her eyes, âYou, of course. Iâve never liked you one bit, yet youâre still hanging out with my
brother, and your husband is fully committed to the Miles Group. Quite the fool, arenât you?â
With an unexpected smile, she added, âBut I kinda appreciate your unique brand of foolishness.â
Kareen sheepishly scratched her neck: âLook, Gwenn used to be my BFF, and she always painted you
as the villain. So, I judged you, big time. My bad for being clueless.â
Although clumsy, Kareenâs apology seemed genuine.
Cherise softened. âYouâre Zacâs little sister, the one my mom practically raised. I never thought you
were bad, not for a second. If youâre willing, I would also like to be friends with your friends and family.â
