Chapter 555 In Sickness And In Health
Damien’s face was pale, yet he managed a weak smile. “Actually, it’s quite delicious.”
“Delicious? Nonsense!” Cherise exclaimed.
“We need to go back to the hospital, now!”
“Cherise.”
Damien lifted his gaze to meet hers earnestly, “I was mistaken before.”
“I never truly understood you.”
“I had taken you for granted.”
A shadow of regret passed over his deep, dark eyes. “I should have realized it sooner.”
“Your kind nature… you would change yourself just to make me happy.”
With that, he let out a chuckle, “Now it’s my turn to bring happiness to you.”
“Is there something you desire that you haven’t told me about?”
Cherise, seeing his pallor, urgently urged him, “Stop talking and come back to the hospital with me!”
Damien sought to reassure her, “I’m fine.”
“You call this fine?” Cherise’s voice trembled.
“Don’t you remember your gastric issues?”
“Spicy food is harmful to your stomach, and you’ve been dealing with a stomach condition for two years. You can’t be this reckless!”
She helped him up and hurried him out of the room towards the exit.
Damien clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, “How… how did you know…”
During their time together five years ago, there had been lingering issues with his stomach, but he hadn’t been ill.
The onset of his stomach disease started three years later….
Cherise didn’t catch his question.
She guided him swiftly to the car, “I’m taking you to the hospital.”
“Why the hospital? You’re a doctor.”
Damien weakly chuckled in the backseat as he slumped in his seat.
Cherise frowned, “Still, we need to go.”
“The hospital is overwhelmed today, by the time it’s my turn, I’ll be better.”
Cherise realized he was right, and she abruptly stopped the car.
The hospital was crowded with medical examinations.
“Where are you staying?” She took a deep breath.
“Syatt.”
Cherise hesitated at the mention of the hotel. “You’re staying there?”
Damien remained in excruciating pain, “What’s the matter?”
“No, nothing.”
Cherise Shaw took a deep breath, made a U-turn, and headed towards the Syatt Hotel.
Cherise helped Damien back to the Syatt Hotel’s presidential suite and urgently contacted a gastroenterologist for advice.
Given the doctor’s busy schedule, it took a while to receive a response, which instructed her to prepare soft food.
Cherise studied the text on her phone, her brow furrowing.
She knew he had to be put on a soft food diet.
But what about the medication?
Taking a deep breath, she poured Damien a glass of water. “Drink some water, I’ll prepare some plain porridge.
With that, she walked towards the kitchen, put on an apron, and started cooking.
Damien, lying on the bed, watched her bustling about, his heart warming at the sight.
In the past…
Cherise had always appeared busy in the kitchen.
He hadn’t appreciated it then, but now he realized how precious those moments were.
With a soft sigh, he picked up the glass and sipped the water, watching her, lost in his thoughts.
