    Chapter 196 Broken Trust


    As Cherise walked past him, she casually stretched her hand out to touch his chest.


    What she felt left her stunned-his heart was pounding like a drum.


    It does affect him’ she thought.


    Initially, she had no intention to test if he was really blind. If she truly believed Jan’s words, she would


    havee up with an intricate n-it was not difficult for someone who had always been passing her


    exams with flying colors.


    Her actions had been more of a half-hearted test because she trusted himpletely.


    However, his pulse rate was far beyond the average range,


    Cherise withdrew her hand sharply as if she had been electrocuted. As she entered the kitchen. she


    felt her blood run cold.


    Something else must have been causing his unusual heart rate! It can’t possibly be because of how I


    look right now. He’s blind!


    She bumped into a ss door before the kitchen, and the te in her hand fell to the ground with a


    loud crash.


    Staring at the shattered porcin fragments, she began to see them as a metaphor for her broken


    trust.


    “Cherry.”


    Damien rose from his seat and approached her with a look of deep concern.


    Meanwhile, she froze as she looked at his gait. He walked to her steadily and calmly, without any


    hesitation or any fumbling of steps, as if he could see clearly.


    In that instant, she had no clue how to face him.


    It was apparent to him that something was wrong with her. He held her hand and asked, “What’s


    wrong?”


    “L” She pursed her lips and shook his hands away before crouching to pick up the broken pieces. “I


    identally-


    Lost in her thoughts, she inadvertently brushed against the shards, causing them to scratch her. Blood


    oozed from the wound onto the white porcin pieces.


    Damien frowned and pulled her hand to him. “Did something happen to Lucy?”


    She was just fine this afternoon before heading out. I’ve been so busy with work and Jacob just now


    that I

    didn’t have time for her. By the time she got back, she was already in this disoriented manner.


    Hence, Damien attributed the sudden change in behavior to the meeting with Lucy.


    From his knowledge of her behavior, it was not normal for her to suddenly take off her clothes. during


    dinner.


    Cherise bit her lips without replying to him.


    “Leave it.” He held her bleeding hand and carried her to the couch before turning around again to find


    the first aid kit.


    The scene before her reminded her of the time she injured herself during his birthday-he did the same


    thing as well.


    Back then, she doubted his blindness, but he told her his eyesight might return sporadically. It was


    stupid of me to believe that excuse. How was it usible?

    Damien found the first aid kit and started cleansing her wound.


    “I’m always here to hear you out if you face any problems. Perhaps I can even help.”


    Staring at his perfectly sharp jawline, Cherise felt a sharp pang of pain stabbing at her heart.


    “Damien Lenoir.”


    “Yes?” he replied with a pause.


    It was rare for her to call his full name. Ever since Sarah told her off on the second day of their


    marriage, she had been calling him endearing terms like ‘darling’ or ‘dear.
