Frances was caught off guard.
Yet, half an hourter, she arrived with a generous serving of pasta Bolognese, enough for three
people.
Damien swiftly polished off his te of food and made his way to his study, as business. called his
attention to thepany.
Cherise perched by the windowsill with her legs crossed. She listened to music on her headphones
while finishing her second te of pasta Bolognese.
It was precisely at that moment when Lucy’s call came in, “I’ve got some major news!”
Cherise continued slurping her pasta, “What’s the scoop?”
All she cared about was to know Damien’s eyesight had improved; other than that, she couldn’t care
less.
Lucy’s dramatic voice sounded from the other end of the line, “Do you remember thatdy we spotted
at the Viopril Pce? The one who runs the show, Violet Belcourt?”
Cherise’s grip on the phone tightened a tad. “I remember.”
Not only did she remember, but she also bore a strong distaste for Violet.
“She got into a car ident!” Lucy let out a dramatic sigh.
“You won’t believe it, but people are saying her arch-enemy pulled a fast one on her, and the car crash
was no joke. She’s currently knocked out in the ICU, and there’s no telling when she’ll wake up.”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Her parents are devastated and haveunched a full-scale investigation into whoever’s behind the
ident.
“Even her brother from overseas has flown back!”
Lucy’s voice on the phone was filled with amazement. “I just found out that Lennon, the gorgeous and
talented sensation who started his career abroad, is, in fact, Violet’s brother,”
“Oh, Cherise responded indifferently, continuing to slurp her pasta. “And?”
Cherise’s indifference took Lucy aback. “Aren’t you even a little surprised? We met her just days ago,
and now she’s in such a critical condition. Don’t you care?”

Cherise savored herst spoonful of soup and dabbed her mouth with a tissue. “My main concern is for
my husband’s sight to be restored, other than that I couldn’t be bothered.”
Lucy was left speechless.
“Well, I know love-struck women only have eyes for their partners,” she sighed. dramatically. “only us,
the single people, would have time to scour social media and keep up with the news.”
Cherise yfully teased, “Why don’t you find yourself a boyfriend too?”
She furrowed and pondered. “You know, Ian’s a good catch. He’s intelligent, kind, and ambitious.”
Lucy nearly choked on her saliva, “Spare me! Just mentioning him gives me the creeps. Don’t bring
him up around me!”
Cherise stretched her sore legs and feigned yawning, “Why does Ian make you so ufortable? Are
you smitten with him or what?”
Lucy was rendered speechless by Cherise’s usation.
“Seriously?! Immae and get you!”
Rather than feeling intimidated by Lucy, Cherise burst intoughter.
After a brief pause, Cheriseposed herself. She began discussing her n with Lucy to take
Damien back to the countryside.
“Hmm… Why do I have mixed feelings about this?”
“If you’re really set on exploring holistic medicine for Damien’s eyes, wouldn’t it be more practical to
find a city-based specialist in this field?”
“I’ve
got my doubts about these so-called famous rural doctors. You better tread carefully.”
Lucy’s words made Cherise pause for a moment. Then, she smiled and replied, “I trustn
on this one.”
“After all, he owes Damien a great debt of gratitude. Even if he’s not particrly fond of
husband, I don’t think he’d deliberately harm him.”

Lucy pursed her lips. “I hope you’re making the right choice…..”
The two friends chatted for a bit longer, but Lucy had to suddenly hang up because of an unforeseen
issue.

Cherise stashed her phone away. After the strenuous bedroom adventure with Damien,
two hearty tes of pasta had her feeling rejuvenated.
