NovelOnlineChapter 529 Five Dollars
In the past, Cherise was a woman of firm principles.
Once she had decided something, she wouldn’t easily change her mind.
If she believed that a relationship was over, she would sever all ties with the man.
However, the current Cherise seemed different.
Before long, the steady rhythm of her breathing began to deepen.
It was clear that she was exhausted.
Damien observed her for a while before he sighed, rose from his seat, and exited the car.
His silenced phone displayed several missed calls from Charles.
He dialed Charles’ number as he ascended the stairs. “What’s the matter?”
“Maeve is awake.
Charles’ voice was heavy. “She wants to see you.”
“Alright.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamien closed his eyes and took a deep breath before pivoting to board the elevator.
A minute later, he appeared in Maeve’s ward.
“Dame.”
With Charles’ assistance, Maeve propped up on the bed and looked at her brother, who now seemed
like a stranger, “My attending physician… is Cherise.”
Damien’s brow furrowed as he sat down. “So, do you still harbor prejudice against Cherise even until
now?”
“She saved your life.”
Maeve’s face turned paler.
She shook her head, and her lips trembled slightly. “I don’t hold any prejudice against her…”
“The nurse told me earlier that… she’s married and has a child.”
A hint of coldness flashed across Damien’s stern fac. “That’s impossible.”
“But it’s the truth.”

Maeve sighed, “Dame, if she has truly found her happiness… you should let go too.”
“But if she’s unhappy…”
Her gazed profoundly at Damien. Then, I’m willing to support you to win her back.”
Damien looked up, somewhat taken aback by her words.
“Before this, I couldn’t comprehend why a woman with no blood relation to you was worth your
protection… Until I met Charles. I was too mindless.”
She lifted her head as a drop of tear silently rolled down her cheek. “Cherise is a good woman.”
“But… if she’s truly married, has a child, and is content… would you still pursue her?”
Damien didn’t stay long in Maeve’s ward.
After perceiving that Maeve’s condition was stable, he left the building and returned to the limousine.
However, only Blake was present.
Damien frowned. “Where is she?”
“She’s gone.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake took out five coins from his pocket and quietly placed them on the table in front of him. “Cherise
said that this is her rent for sleeping for an hour.”
Damien was rendered speechless as he gazed at the five gleaming coins on the table.
This fool… she really has changed.
On one hand, she used five dollars to establish a boundary with him.
On the other hand, her action trivialized his concern for her.
“Mr. Lenoir, isn’t Mrs. Lenoir being a bit unreasonable?”
Behind him, Mr. Hampson frowned.
Chuckling lightly, Damien walked over, picked up the five coins one by one, and held them in his
hand.
He placed the five coins into Mr. Hampson’s hand and said, “Go to the bank and open an account to
deposit these five dollars.”
“Mr. Lenoir, what are you…” Mr. Hampson was astonished.
I’m curious to see how much money she intends to spend on me.”
