Chapter 774 What Era Are We Living In?


    Damien casually nced at the assertive Cherise from the passenger seat of the car. “Are you finished


    with your conversation?”


    “Yes!” Cherise nodded. “After our discussion, it’s clear that Lyra is innocent!” She turned to Mr. Kolson.


    “Let’s go to the hospital!”


    “Off to confront Kareen?” Damien interrupted nonchntly before Cherise could respond.


    “Yes!” Cherise nodded emphatically. “I’m going to help Zachary and Lyra get married!”


    Mr. Kolson drove swiftly, and they arrived at the hospital in no time. When the car stopped, Cherise


    promptly pulled Lyra out and rushed into the hospital.


    Zachary’s hospital room was on the top floor, as Kareen had arranged. Although Kareen was


    somewhat bothersome, it was undeniable that she cared deeply for Zachary in the Miles family.


    However, if Lyra were to marry into the family, she would be the one who cared most about


    Zachary.


    As Cherise led Lyra to the top floor, Kareen was conversing with Zachary’s attending physician in the


    corridor. She intermittently wiped away her tears throughout their conversation.


    Cherise noticed Kareen’s tear-streaked face from a distance, and her resentment towards Kareen for


    driving Lyra away subsided slightly. After all, Kareen was much better than those money-minded


    individuals in the Miles family.


    “Why are you here?” Kareen spotted Cherise leading Lyra towards the room before she could


    approach.


    “You’ve brought this troublesome woman back?” The worry and despair on Kareen’s face instantly


    turned into annoyance. “I’ll have you know that even though my brother is currently in aa, his


    marriage is noughing matter!”


    “Is this woman my brother’s fiancée just because she ims to be engaged to him?” She red at


    Cherise. “Until I hear my brother acknowledge it, I won’t let this woman anywhere near him!”


    Cherise frowned at Kareen coldly. “Who gave you the authority to make decisions for your brother?”


    “You should ask yourself that question.” Kareenughed in disbelief as her lips curled in scorn. “If it


    weren’t for you, my brother wouldn’t be in this state, would he?”


    “And this woman merely slept with my brother. What era are we living in? Is it mandated that a man


    and woman must marry each other if they sleep together?!”


    “And look at this woman.” Kareen nced at Lyra coldly, her eyes filled with contempt. “Can’t you see


    how ordinary she is? How could she possibly be worthy of my brother?”


    “Don’t try to convince me further. I won’t listen to anything you say.” Kareen turned on her heel,


    grabbed the doctor, and briskly walked towards the ward.


    Cherise furrowed her brows. She bit her lip, snatched the phone from the frightened Lyra beside her,


    and yed the audio that Lyra had previously recorded.


    “Zach! Tin overjoyed! Can… can I have you repeat it into my phone?


    “Sure.” Zachary’s voice in the recording was cold yet polite. “Do I just speak normally?”


    “Yes…”


    “Alright. Ms. Lyra Quinnell, I, Zachary Miles, am proposing to you today. I hope you will marry me and


    stay with me for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    “I will! I will…”


    When Cherise yed the recording, she distinctly saw Kareen freeze in ce.
