Chapter 163 Trusting lan
Frances was caught off guard.
Yet, half an hour later, she arrived with a generous serving of pasta Bolognese, enough for three people.
Damien swiftly polished off his plate of food and made his way to his study, as business. called his attention to the company.
Cherise perched by the windowsill with her legs crossed. She listened to music on her headphones while finishing her second plate of pasta Bolognese.
It was precisely at that moment when Lucy’s call came in, “I’ve got some major news!”
Cherise continued slurping her pasta, “What’s the scoop?”
All she cared about was to know Damien’s eyesight had improved; other than that, she couldn’t care less.
Lucy’s dramatic voice sounded from the other end of the line, “Do you remember that lady we spotted at the Viopril Palace? The one who runs the show, Violet Belcourt?”
Cherise’s grip on the phone tightened a tad. “I remember.”
Not only did she remember, but she also bore a strong distaste for Violet.
“She got into a car accident!” Lucy let out a dramatic sigh.
“You won’t believe it, but people are saying her arch-enemy pulled a fast one on her, and the car crash was no joke. She’s currently knocked out in the ICU, and there’s no telling when she’ll wake up.”
“Her parents are devastated and have launched a full-scale investigation into whoever’s behind the accident.
“Even her brother from overseas has flown back!”
Lucy’s voice on the phone was filled with amazement. “I just found out that Lennon, the gorgeous and talented sensation who started his career abroad, is, in fact, Violet’s brother,”
“Oh, Cherise responded indifferently, continuing to slurp her pasta. “And?”
Cherise’s indifference took Lucy aback. “Aren’t you even a little surprised? We met her just days ago, and now she’s in such a critical condition. Don’t you care?”
Cherise savored her last spoonful of soup and dabbed her mouth with a tissue. “My main concern is for my husband’s sight to be restored, other than that I couldn’t be bothered.”
Lucy was left speechless.
“Well, I know love-struck women only have eyes for their partners,” she sighed. dramatically. “only us, the single people, would have time to scour social media and keep up with the news.”
Cherise playfully teased, “Why don’t you find yourself a boyfriend too?”
She furrowed and pondered. “You know, Ian’s a good catch. He’s intelligent, kind, and ambitious.”
Lucy nearly choked on her saliva, “Spare me! Just mentioning him gives me the creeps. Don’t bring him up around me!”
Cherise stretched her sore legs and feigned yawning, “Why does Ian make you so uncomfortable? Are you smitten with him or what?”
Lucy was rendered speechless by Cherise’s accusation.
“Seriously?! Imma come and get you!”
Rather than feeling intimidated by Lucy, Cherise burst into laughter.
After a brief pause, Cherise composed herself. She began discussing her plan with Lucy to take Damien back to the countryside.
“Hmm… Why do I have mixed feelings about this?”
“If you’re really set on exploring holistic medicine for Damien’s eyes, wouldn’t it be more practical to find a city-based specialist in this field?”
“I’ve
got my doubts about these so-called famous rural doctors. You better tread carefully.”
Lucy’s words made Cherise pause for a moment. Then, she smiled and replied, “I trust lan
on this one.”
“After all, he owes Damien a great debt of gratitude. Even if he’s not particularly fond of
husband, I don’t think he’d deliberately harm him.”

Lucy pursed her lips. “I hope you’re making the right choice…..”
The two friends chatted for a bit longer, but Lucy had to suddenly hang up because of an unforeseen issue.
Cherise stashed her phone away. After the strenuous bedroom adventure with Damien,
two hearty plates of pasta had her feeling rejuvenated.
