Chapter 430 Nightmare-
Cherise froze.
After everything that had happened today, she had completely forgotten that Damien had promised to take her to visit Zachary after her exams.
But…
“What about your businesses in Adania and your family? Can you really just drop everything and leave?”
Damien gently pinched her cheeks. “I told you I won’t be bothered with them anymore.”
“And I won’t.”
“But…”
“Finding Zachary is far more important.”
He squeezed her hand. “Your concerns are more important than mine.”
Cherise didn’t know when she drifted off.
All she remembered was Damien holding her and talking to her.
She vaguely remembered him kissing her ear and saying. “Thank you for coming into my life.”
And then she fell asleep.
She had a strange dream.
In her dream, a group of men dragged a woman into a room.
She couldn’t move or speak. The woman lay motionless on the bed.
She could hear a man’s laughter and a woman screaming from the next room.
Her cries were so heartbreaking that they would bring anyone to tears,
Cherise lay on the bed. She wanted to sit up and say something, but she couldn’t move.
All she could do was listen to the woman’s shrieks of pain.
“Beckham.”
“Beckham!”
“Beckham…”
Finally, the woman cried, “I’ll kill every one of you with my bare hands!”
Cherise startled awake.
She was drenched in sweat.
She closed her eyes and leaned back against the headboard, trying to regulate her breathing
Why did she have such a dream….
She did not know that woman.
Nor did she know anyone named Beckham.
“Madam, are you awake?”
Frances’ muffled voice came from the other side of the door.
Cherise froze. She instinctively turned to look at the time. It was past seven in the morning. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she got out of bed. “I’m awake.”
“Where’s Damien?”
She remembered he had mentioned that they were going to Ziphon today to visit Zachary
“He left early in the morning.”
Frances smiled brightly as she led Cherise downstairs. “He left in a hurry but didn’t forget to ask me to make you breakfast. You’re going with him, right?”
Cherise nodded. She sat down at the dining table and picked up a spoon. “Did he mention what time he’ll be back?”
Frances shook her head. “He said you might have to wait a while for him.”
“He needs to take care of some things so he can go with you to visit your uncle.”
Cherise nodded. She started packing after breakfast.
By the time she finished packing, it was past ten in the morning.
But Damien still hadn’t returned.
She tried calling him, but he didn’t answer.
He must be busy.
Without any response, Cherise lay spreadeagled on the couch and texted Lucy.
“Cherry, I’ve decided I won’t have any feelings for Lennon anymore!”
It was obvious from her voice that Lucy had been crying. “I can’t believe he used both of us!”
“He is completely different from the person I thought he was!”
“I don’t want to hear from him ever again!”
Cherise thought for a moment and recalled yesterday’s events.
She gave a small smile. “It’s really not that bad. Lennon is probably more practical than we are.”
Cherise’s chest tightened as she remembered what happened yesterday.
If Lennon hadn’t done what he did, Damien and Danielle might still at it today.
