    Chapter 64 Sparkle In Her Eyes


    Walking next to her,n could not help but notice the radiant sparkle in her


    This was a Cherise Shaw he had never seen before.


    eyes.


    She had always been a cheerfuldy in the past, but never like this, radiating the glow of happiness so


    vividly.


    Jealousy crawled its way inton’s heart.


    What’s so special about that old and bald man?!


    How does he deserve her love and sacrifice? Even Grandma Mary approves of him!


    As they reached the gate, Cherise turned to say goodbye to Ian. “I’m off to the sanatorium!”


    With those words, she slung her little backpack over her shoulder and headed in the direction of the


    bus stop.


    “In that case, thanks Ian!”


    Cherise did not hesitate and hopped into Ian’s car.


    On the way to work,n thought about bringing up Damien several times but decided. against it.


    He understood that learning more about the man would lead to nothing but agony and pain.


    He recalled the way Cherise used to look at him when they first met, her eyes twinkling like stars.


    His ssmates used to tease him. “That junior seems to be fond of you. Aren’t you going to take the


    first step?”


    He would respond with a faint smile. “I have plenty of juniors who like me.”


    Now, though she treated him with the same amount of respect, that sparkle in her eyes belonged to


    another man.

    They soon arrived at the nursing room.


    Ian walked her to her station before leaving.


    “Tsk tsk, you even have a cute guy to keep youpany now.”


    L sneered and dumped a pile of used bed sheets in front of Cherise. “You were missing. yesterday,


    so I saved these for you.”


    Cherise looked at the towering heap of sheets, feeling a bit troubled. “Is the washing machine still not


    working?”


    She had spent the whole afternoon washing bed sheets the other day, and her wrists were aching by


    the time she finished!


    Besides, the materials which the sheets were made of were stiff and difficult to maneuver.


    “Nah, it hasn’t been repaired.”


    L replied with a cold sneer. She crouched to Cherise’s eye level and fixed a cold gaze on her.


    “What’s the matter? Can’t you handle a bit of washing?”


    “Or perhaps now that you’ve found a man to dote on you, you’re refusing to get your hands dirty?”


    Cherise did not miss the sarcasm in L’s remark, but she chose to lower her head. “I’ll try my best.”


    It might be challenging, but since she had taken on this job, she was determined to get it done!


    Ian stepped out of the sanatorium director’s office with half an hour to spare before hist afternoon shift.


    With extra time on his hands, he headed to the second floor for Cherise.

    Earlier, he had requested L to assign lighter tasks for Cherise, like making and serving. tea to the


    patients.


    By that logic, she should have been stationed on the second floor, but he searched part of the floor and


    could not find her.


    It was only after someone pointed it out that he learned Cherise was in theundry.

    2/3


    Theundry room was tucked away in a corner of the sanatorium’s backyard.


    He pushed the door open, revealing severalrge washing machines with ‘Out of Order’ signs taped on


    them.


    At the far end of theundry, he saw a petite girl standing barefoot in a basin, her hands and feet


    covered in foamy suds.


    When she heard the door open, she looked up. “Tan?”


    Ian furrowed his brows and approached her withrge strides. “Cherise, why are you doing this?”
