Chapter 818 Kindness Is Useful
Damien finally relaxed his tense nerves and humbly responded, “Mr. Aquino, you have keen insight.”
“Hahaha, I’ve seen a lot!” Jarvi was delighted by Damien’s words. He even patted Damien’s shoulder and poured him a glass of beer. “Join me for a drink. It’s been a while since I met a young person as straightforward as you!”
Damien smiled, picked up the glass, and began drinking with Jarvi.
After a few drinks, Jarvi became even more at ease with them.
He patted Damien’s shoulder and repeatedly urged him to take care of Cherise. “This girl is probably Charisa’s last concern in the world. You must look after her…”
Damien nodded, agreeing with everything Jarvi said.
By the time he and Jarvi started drinking their fifth glass of beer, the subordinate who had gone out to make a copy of the photo had returned.
Jarvi happily collected the photocopy and returned the original photo to Cherise. He even enthusiastically instructed his subordinate to send Cherise and Damien back to the hotel.
After Cherise exited the car driven by Jarvi’s subordinate, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m so grateful that Mom decided to do a good deed that day and saved Jarvi’s life.”
Furthermore, if Cherise had not remembered her mother mentioning Jarvi just now, she and Damien would not have returned to the hotel safe and sound.
“So kindness is useful sometimes.” Damien smiled and embraced Cherise. “All right, we’ve had dinner. It’s time to rest.”
Although the recent scare was a false alarm, he could tell Cherise was exhausted.
The two entered the elevator and were about to return to their room when Damien’s phone started ringing incessantly.
The call was from Mr. Kolson, who was guarding the hospital.
“Sir, you must come to the hospital immediately!”
Mr. Kolson’s urgent voice made Damien frown. “What happened?”
“Raymond… he escaped…”
“I understand,” Damien replied calmly and hung up.
“What’s wrong?”
Cherise was opening the door with the room card. She frowned and turned to Damien. She seemed exhausted, but she still looked at Damien with concern
Damien pursed his lips slightly and embraced Cherise. “It’s nothing. Tristan is causing trouble at the
hospital again.”
He pulled Cherise into the room, took off the bag she was carrying, and gently pushed her down onto the bed. Then, he planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll handle it. You’re too tired. Just rest.”
Cherise pursed her lips and looked at Damien with concern. “Can you handle it on your own?”
Saying that, she tried to get up from the bed, intending to go out with him. However, Damien pushed her back onto the bed again. “Don’t worry. Tristan won’t do anything to me. Be a good girl and wait for me to come back.”
Damien’s determined gaze made Cherise take a deep breath. “Sure.”
Cherise was genuinely exhausted. She had never experienced so many emotional ups and downs in one day. Now, it seemed she could fall asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
After confirming several times that Damien could handle the situation at the hospital by himself, Cherise yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep shortly after.
Hearing her steady breathing, Damien finally took a deep breath and left the room.
The hospital was in chaos.
Blake sat silently on the marble floor of the corridor, hugging his knees.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kolson looked at Damien apologetically. “Shortly after you and Mrs. Lenoir left, Mrs. Lenoir’s sister and father visited Raymond.”
