Chapter 57 I Want to Speak to Him in Private
Cherise took a deep breath. “Uncle, you can hide the truth forever. I’d rather introduce. him to her officially than let her find out for herself. I’ll tell her I’ll be very happy with him. Despite the nervousness on the way there, she heaved a sigh of relief.
I’d rather tell Grandma the truth than be constantly threatened by Aunt Eriana. Even though Damien is blind and disabled, he treats me really well. I’m sure Grandma will understand.
Elvis sighed upon meeting her earnest eyes. “Alright, alright. Your grandma misses you too. But a warning beforehand-if you land her in the emergency room again, I won’t forgive you!”
Cherise giggled and patted his shoulders. “Don’t worry.”
Elvis then turned around and smiled at Damien. “Damien, you guys go ahead first. I’m out. to buy some food for everyone.”
Damien returned the smile and replied distantly, “Thanks.”
After Elvis left, Damien frowned slightly. “I seem to have met him before.”

Mary instantly noticed the extraordinary aura he exuded despite the black cloth around

With a frown, she muttered, “This is…”
Cherise took a deep breath. “Grandma, this is Damien. I brought him here today to tell you-”
“Cherise, let me speak to Grandma alone. Please leave with Jacob first.” He interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
“But-”
“Don’t worry. He knows what he’s doing.”
Jacob tugged her sleeves and dragged her out of the ward.
“Will everything be alright?” She lifted her head to look at the door of the tightly shut. ward.
“Dr. Caldwell, perhaps you can take a look inside?”
She was immensely worried. Mary had just recovered from her illness, while Damien was a blind and disabled man. What could they have been talking about for so long?
“Don’t worry,” Jacob repeated while playing games on his phone. “Damien knows what he’s doing.”
That was the fourth time he had said the same thing.
Cherise paced back and forth in the corridor with her hands balled into fists..
