Tve thoroughly explained to Mr. Luther and provided written instructions on the patient’s subsequent
care.” Cherise said
“If there’s nothing else, I would appreciate it if you could leave. I’ve been in surgery for thirteen hours. I
desperately need some rest.”
Damien stood silently by the door, his heart pounding as he gazed at her.
He had been searching for her for five long years,
From the moment he heard of Charisa’s death, he had been relentlessly searching for Cherise
Yet, neither the Miles nor the Tanners revealed her whereabouts.
He searched every place he could think of, where she might go, but to no avail
Little did he expect she would be working as a doctor in this remote, small city.

encounter.
She would regard him as a total stranger.
Cherise didn’t appear elated or sentimental upon the encounter. In fact, there was not even a hint
of resentment.
To her, he seemed to be nothing more than a strange and a patient’s family member.
“Mr. Lenoir, if you’re unwilling to leave, feel free to hang around in the office. The room has surveillance
cameras, so I’m not worried you’ll take anything from here.”
With that, she was about to close the door to the staff dormitory to get some sleep.
Suddenly, the man took a quick step forward, slammed the door shut, and pinned her against it. “Are

The man’s icy demeanor caused Cherise’s heart to flutter

Even after five years apart, she still yearned for him.
Yet despite the surging emotions within her, her face remained impassive. “Mr. Lenoir, I’m not

Caught off guard, Damien instinctively turned to look behind him.
Inside the staff dormitory, two bunk beds were occupied by a man and two women.

Damien was flabbergasted.
He hadn’t realized there were others present.
Cherise gave him a helpless look. “Mr. Lenoir, could you release me now?”
Frowning, Damien glanced at the three onlookers and reluctantly released Cherise.
“Please close the door on your way out, Mr. Lenoir.”
Cherise yawned and had no intention of continuing to engage with Damien.
She lay down in the vacant bed, pulled a blanket over herself, and prepared to sleep.
Damien remained motionless as his eyes fell on the man lying on the bed beside Cherise.
He knitted his brows. “You share a room with a man?”
Cherise rolled her eyes, looking impatient. “That’s none of your business.”
It was a small hospital, so the rest area was modest.
