Chapter 431 Where’s Damien?
“I can’t believe you’re defending him.”
Lucy sighed, “You have no idea what happened, do you?”
“Your husband attacked Lennon last night.”
“Lennon tried to call Damien today to apologize and asked him to come to the company for some work matters, but Damien refused!”
“In the end, he got Jacob to conceal his cuts and bruises, so they weren’t visible, and went to work.”
Cherise laughed, “How do you know this? Are you with him?”
“I am not! Don’t make things up!”
Cherise couldn’t help but laugh, “You amaze me.”
“You took care of him all night, yet you claim not to like him anymore.”
“Lucy, you’re such a hypocrite!”
Cherise laughed when she suddenly realized something strange..
“Did you say that Lennon went to work today?”
But Frances said Damien had left early in the morning
to handle some work matters!
“Yes, I did.”
Lucy frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Are
you sure? He tried to contact Damien but was turned down, and then he went to work himself?”
“Yes.”
Lucy could sense something was wrong. “Cherry, what’s wrong?
Cherise’s heart sank.
If Damien hadn’t gone to the company, why did he lie to Frances and her?
She took a deep breath and recounted her earlier conversation with Frances to Lucy. “Let me ask Frances for more details.”
“Mr. Lenoir didn’t personally tell me he was going to the company”
Frances looked puzzled. “It was Mr. Kolson. Mr. Kolson informed me.”
“Mr. Lenoir was already in the car when he told me.”
“Mr. Kolson is Mr. Lenoir’s chauffeur. He wouldn’t lie to me, would he?” Frances asked in bewilderment.
Cherise bit her lip and tried Damien’s phone again.
It went unanswered.
She decided to call Mr. Kolson.
To her surprise, Mr. Kolson answered after two rings.
“Madam.”
“Where’s Damien?”
Cherise took a deep breath. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about this.
“Mr. Lenoir is in the emergency room.”
Mr. Kolson’s voice was devoid of any emotion. “We were attacked on the way to the office this morning. Mr. Lenoir is seriously injured.”
Crash! Cherise’s phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the floor.
“Madam!”
Cherise woke up to find herself in the hospital.
Lucy was sitting next to her, holding her hand. Her eyes were red and swollen from tears.
“How is Damien…”
Cherise massaged her throbbing temples and asked quietly.
“He’s out of danger.”
Lucy squeezed Cherise’s hand. “The doctor said you fainted from shock.”
Jacob came by and said that Damien is doing much better. So don’t worry too much.”
“I want to see him…”
Cherise struggled to sit up. “I can’t relax until I’ve seen him…”
“He’s fine now. You can go see him later.”
Lucy made her lie back down. “There’s not much you can do for him now. You’re not a doctor. He has Jacob, and his family will take care of him. Nothing will happen.”
“You, on the other hand, haven’t fully recovered from that cold you caught in Shaw’s Village. With the shock you experienced last night and this morning added to that…”
“The doctor said you might have a breakdown if you don’t get enough rest.”
Cherise bit her lip. “I still want to see him.
Taking a deep breath, she pulled herself up and put on her shoes. Swaying on her feet, she said, “Where is he?”
