    Chapter 723 Sulfuric Acid


    The woman sprawled on the bed remained still. She actually seemed unconscious. However, Cherise


    was confident she was awake.


    When Cherise spoke, she clearly saw Rowena’s ECG rhythm fluctuate erratically. This was an obvious.


    indication of surprise. Rowena likely hadn’t anticipated Cherise to abruptly initiate a conversation,


    hence her evident guilty conscience.


    “Your ECG has given you away.” Cherise yawned. Her gaze on Rowena remained indifferent. “But Ms.


    Urs, I won’t unmask you if you prefer to maintain your charade. After all, you’ve been ying this


    role. for three years, right?”


    When Cherise spoke, she noticed an apparent spike in Rowena’s heart rate again.


    “Others may be unaware, but do you think I’m clueless?” Cherise shrugged nonchntly. “How did you


    rescue Damien three years ago, Ms. Rowena?”


    “You hastily fled during the fire and ignored people calling for help. Did you think the woman with the


    severely burnt hand you saw that day had passed away? Was that why youfortably assumed her


    identity and imed to be Damien’s savior?”


    “By the way, you imed your feet were burnt in that fire, right? I’ve reviewed your medical records and


    saw the photos from your treatment three years ago… Your feet were indeed burnt.”

    “Upon professional inspection, the burns on your feet don’t appear to be from a fire, but rather…” The


    woman smirked. “Sulfuric acid.”


    “Ms. Rowena, you certainly went to great lengths to im to be Damien’s savior. I was in such agony


    when my hand was burnt back then that I wished for death, yet you could withstand sulfuric acid


    burning your feet… Was it truly worth it?”


    On the bed, the woman’s eyes were closed, and she remained motionless, but her racing heartbeat


    had given her away.


    Cherise leaned against the table and observed Rowena for a considerable time. “Since you’re unwilling


    to face reality, I won’t make things difficult. I know you’ve heard every word I’ve said.” Cherise sighed


    deeply. “But merely hearing what I’ve said isn’t enough.”


    “As a fellow woman, I’ll spare you some dignity. I hope you understand what I mean. Take your sister


    away and distance yourselves from Damien. Otherwise, if I expose the truth, you and your sister won’t


    have a chance to redeem yourselves.”


    With that, Cherise turned and left.


    If not for some personal matters, Cherise would have directly disclosed the truth about Rowena’s


    actions to Damien. But the fire from that year was tooplex, so she resorted to intimidating Rowena


    to make her retreat.


    When the emergency room door shut, the woman on the bed clenched the sheets beneath her tightly


    and gritted her teeth.


    I always assumed the woman who was gravely injured in that fire had perished… Is Cherise that


    woman?


    Should I… do as she says and retreat: Rowena instinctively nced at her feet, which had just begun


    regaining mobility. No… Absolutely not.


    She had already inflicted such damage to her feet. Once she severed ties with Damien… her life would


    be ruined!


    Cherise opened the door to the emergency room. Outside, Urs charged towards her and red at


    her fiercely. “What did you do to my sister?”


    “Nothing.” Cherise removed her white coat gracefully and ced it on a nearby chair. She turned.


    indifferently to the anxious doctors waiting outside. “You may enter. She should regain consciousness


    soon.”
