Chapter 494


    Chapter 494 Gut Feeling


    Charisa waspletely devoted to Cherise in every action she took. She was even willing to change


    her name to amodate Cherise’s desire to keep hers. She genuinely cared for her like a mother.


    “As long as she treats you well.” Damien smiled, yfully tousling her hair. “Let’s make ns to spend


    more quality time with her, okay?”


    Cherise nodded. She had something to say, but she was struck by the memory of Charisa’s earlier


    mention of death. Coupled with Damien’s advice about spending more time with Charisa, an


    unexinable unease crept over her.


    ncing outside, she bit her lip before saying, “Hey honey, could you find out if she’s actually doing


    okay physically?”


    She felt something was off about Charisa’s words today.


    Furrowing his brow,


    mien nced at her, then settled into the driver’s seat, softly asking, “Why do you suddenly want to


    look into this?”


    “Maybe it’s just a gut feeling.” Cherise closed her eyes, her instincts nudging her that Charisa was


    hiding something. If it was something else, it would be manageable, but if it was rted to her health,


    Cherise wasn’t sure if she could handle it. Just the thought of it made her heart clench.

    “If you genuinely want to know ask her directly.” Damien focused on the road. “Charisa is the head of


    the Miles Family, and her health directly affects their future.”


    “Even if I check, I won’t get the real information. Details like that are usually strictly confidential.”


    ncing at Cherise, he continued, “But you’re different. You’re her daughter. If you ask her in person,


    maybe she’ll open up.”


    Cherise shook her head. “But I asked her today, and she didn’t give a clear answer.”


    “Then that’s your only answer.” Damien sighed. “Apart from what she’s willing to share, we won’t


    get more.”


    Cherise was restless the entire drive back from Clover Gardens. An inexplicable unease crept over her


    body, freezing her in ce as if foreshadowing a terrible scenario.


    This restlessness felt simr to when she left the Shaw vige, only to find outter that Elvis had been


    arrested.


    Once back at Lenoir Manor, she called Zachary to get Charisa’s contact details. Now that she had truly


    epted Charisa as her mother, she felt she should have her number. Rying messages through


    Zachary was inconvenient. She wanted to personally assure Charisa of her well-being.


    “Cherry, Aunt Charisa is in a meeting.

    Zachary hesitated. “I’ll pass your contact information to Aunt Charisa. Once the meeting’s done, she’ll


    reach out to you directly. Wait for her message, alright?”


    Fidgeting restlessly, Cherise was about to respond when she heard a suddenmotion on the other


    end of the call.


    “Okay, Cherry, I’ve got something urgent to attend to. I’ll talk to youter.” Before Cherise could reply,


    Zachary abruptly ended the call.


    Listening to the dial tone, Cherise furrowed her brow deeply. She sensed that Zachary was hiding


    something from her. Considering Charisa’s repeated references to death’ today and Damien’s assertion


    that only Charisa herself would disclose her health status if she wanted to, Cherise had a dreadful


    premonition.
