Chapter 721 Who’s The Naïve One?
“When Ms. Rowen got into the accident, Ms. Ursula had pestered us to go downstairs to find roses for her sister…” The call was on loudspeaker, and Cherise could clearly hear every word.
She sipped her red wine delicately as her right hand tapped on the table lightly. She could deduce what had transpired at the hospital from the man’s words.
Rowena and Ursula had most likely seen the video on the Internet, and Rowena must have lamented not having roses. This would have prompted Ursula to command the bodyguards to accompany her in a quest for roses for her sister in a fit of indignation!
Rowena must have known that Damien had purchased all the roses in the city. Yet, she still made her sister. and the bodyguards embark on this futile search for roses…
The only plausible explanation was that Rowena wanted to be left unattended so she could get injured. Rowena had devised an ingenious strategy to harm herself and garner sympathy.
Cherise had to acknowledge that Rowena was a formidable character, Cherise prided herself on her strong willpower but would not resort to hurting herself to put on an act.
“I’ll be right there.” Damien took a deep breath and ended the call. He turned to Cherise, “I’ll have Mr. Kolson escort you home. I need to go to the hospital to see Rowena.” Damien quickly added to prevent any misunderstanding. “After all, Rowena saved my life. She’s in critical condition now, and I must head there. But don’t worry, I’ll return home as soon as she’s stable.”
Cherise offered a faint smile. I’ll come with you.”
Damien was taken aback and wrinkled his brows slightly. “I thought you wouldn’t want to see her….
“I don’t.” Cherise smiled at Damien. “But she did save my husband’s life. Even if I don’t want to see her. I should ensure she’s stable before I feel at ease. Besides, I’m a doctor. If someone is ill, I might be able to
assist.”
Since Cherise had said as such, there was no reason for Damien not to take her along.
The man sighed lightly. “You really haven’t changed at all He raised his hand to stroke Cherise’s head. “You’re still the same kind and naïve girl”
Cherise looked up and glared at him like she did five years ago. Im not naïve at all!”
You’re the naïve one! You don’t even know that your wife was the one who saved you three years ago!
When Cherise and Damien arrived at the hospital, Rowena was still in the emergency room.
Upon seeing Cherise arrive with Damien, Ursula sprang from her chair. “What are you doing here?!” She confronted Cherise angrily. “My sister is still unconscious. If she sees you after gaining consciousness, she might faint again!”
Cherise held Damien’s arm with one hand and clutched her handbag with the other. “Your sister might faint frequently in the future.” She smiled gently at Ursula. “Ms. Ursula, have you seen the news and videos online? I’m now Damien’s fiancée, and your sister is Damien’s savior. We’ll be meeting each other a lot in
the future.”

Perhaps Ursula had not expected such a response from Cherise. She was momentarily stunned before regaining her composure. “What do you mean, Cherise Shaw?!
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Cherise had a sneer in the corners of her mouth. “Do you want me to repeat it in another language? Ms Ursula, you’re just a junior high graduate. Do you even know another language? You should read more if you’re so dim-witted. Don’t rely on your sister’s merits to act like a bully. Are you even worthy
