Chapter 178 The Countryside
“Jacob mentioned that he had consulted a renowned eye specialist,” Damien murmured, his voice
subdued.
To his surprise, Cherise didn’t appear particrly interested.
She casually responded with a casual “Oh” and continued to walk alongside him.
Aunt Sarah prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Despite the modest ingredients in the farmhouse, she managed to create avish meal for Damien
using the best items avable.
Elvis bought plenty of wine, insisting they drink until they were intoxicated.
Cherise endearingly leaned against Grandma as she attentively chatted with her while helping her with
the food.
Mr. Kolson watched contentedly as Damien enthusiastically devoured the scrumptious. homemade
drumstick.
As the sun set over the horizon, the warm glow of the sky cast a serene atmosphere upon the evening.
The sounds ofughter and cheerful chatter echoed through the surroundings, creating a lively and
vibrant ambiance that filled the air.
Elvis persistently encouraged Damien to keep drinking, even well past nine in the evening.
Cherise stayed by Damien’s side, deeply concerned for him, and offered more than just
companionship.
She sat on a small chair, watching Damien and Elvis drink while textingn on her phone.
“Ian, could you please give me the address of that elderly doctor? I’ve brought my husband back to our
hometown!”
Cherise nodded determinedly, “Yes, I hope his eyes can improve. As long as there’s a chance, I can’t
give up!”

“The thatched cottage at the entrance of Johnson Vige, Doctor Mark Johnson,” he said.

Cherise earnestly noted it down. “Thank you, Ian!”
After hanging up the call, Cherise found Elvis passed out on the brick bed. While Damien. sat there,
quietly munching on peanuts.
She couldn’t help but marvel at the scene before her eyes.
Her uncle was the best drinker in the whole damn vige!
Damien managed to knock him out cold!
“Feeling sleepy?”
The man rumbled, his voice low. “You know, you didn’t have to wait for me, really.”
“No, I insist!”
Cherish put her phone away and helped Damien, guiding him back to his room. “There are no proper
beds in the countryside, just traditional heated brick beds. I want to make sure you’refortable. If
you have trouble sleeping, I can always add an extra nket for you in the middle of the night.”
Damien chuckled softly and pulled her into the nkets. “With you here, I can sleep anywhere
comfortably.”
Cherise blushed deeply. “R-really?”
“Of course.” He was somewhat intoxicated when he cradled her face and kissed her passionately.
Cherise was left breathless. “Hubby, let’s sleep…
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the neighboring vige to explore,” she continued.
He kissed her eyshes and mumbled against her eyshes, his words slightly slurred, “Wha’ are we
explorin, hm?”
He kissed her eyshes in a drunken stupor. “What’s there to explore?”
“In the neighboring vige, there’s an elderly doctor…” She didn’t know how to lie convincingly, so she
blurted out the truth.
Damien chuckled softly; his fingers gently lifted her chin as his deep, jet-ck eyes met hers. “Why do
you want to see the elderly doctor?”
“To have him check our pulses to see when we can have a baby?”

Cherise was momentarily surprised but nodded vigorously and said, “Yes!”
“We’ll see the elderly doctor tomorrow, have our pulses checked, and get some medicine prescribed to
have a baby sooner. How about that?”
He grinned and pulled her into his arms, “Sure, I’ll go along with your n.”
“Mark Johnson?”
During breakfast the following day, Aunt Sarah frowned while eating. “That old Dr. Johnson isn’t very
reliable, you know. They say he trusted traditional medicine his whole life. But when his nephew got
into medical school and studied Western medicine, he lost. his focuspletely. Couldn’t treat patients
properly anymore.”
Cherise pursed her lips. “I just thought of giving it a try with Damien. If it works out, everyone will be
happy.”
