Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090 Cherise's Got Skills

There was a momentary silence over the line before Mandy asked quietly, "Is Cherise okay?"

"Don't let her find out about Uncle Beckham. I think, even if he wasn't physically injured, the experience will likely leave him with mental scars."

"I understand." Damien silently gave Cherise a meaningful glance as he replied to Mandy. "Don't worry, Cherise is a doctor herself. She will understand what her father needs to recover. Everything will work out."

"That's true." Mandy sighed softly before ending the call.

Damien put away his phone and turned to face his silently weeping wife.

Feeling his gaze on her, Cherise sniffed and wiped away her tears. "I'm fine. I just... I feel like... my parents have suffered too much in their lives."

Many years ago, on that fateful night, though her mother had been the victim, she had chosen to leave her family quietly for the sake of her father. After leaving, she joined the Miles family and became the head, silently supporting her father's career from behind the scenes, though she dared not appear in front of him.

Her father searched for her mother for so many years before finally finding her and learning that she had been silently helping him all these years, but before they could reunite, her mother passed away.

It had been five years since her mother passed away, but her father still hadn't gotten over her mother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flown over to seek revenge as soon as he found out where Raymond was hiding.

Cherise felt her heart ache with longing at the love her parents had shared. She burrowed into Damien's embrace. "Honey, if one day I disappear like my mom did or die, will you still remember me? Will you still keep on loving me?"

"What's running through your mind now?" Damien gently smoothed back her hair. I won't let you disappear again. I'll always be here to protect you, and I'll keep you by my side so that I can show you how much I love you every day."
