Chapter 149 No One Compares to You
Damien maneuvered his wheelchair onto the rooftop. He saw Cherise standing with her back facing
him and shouting something into the wind.
Although he could not catch every word, he heard this clearly, “I’m useless.”
She thinks she is useless.
“Cherise.”
Cherise froze while venting her frustration when she heard Damien’s deep voice.
She turned around and looked at him with teary eyes. “Why are you on the rooftop?”
He’s blind, and the rooftop’s barricades are not secure enough. What if he accidentally fell?
At that thought, she sniffled and rushed to hold his wheelchair still. She pushed him toward the

He reached out and clasped her hand. “You’re here. Why can’t I be here?”

Cherise stopped pulling him toward the elevator.
She pursed her lips. “Dear, do… you wish to stay here to feel the wind?”
Damien nodded. “You must stay with me. I can’t see. You have to act as my eyes.”
Cherise froze at his words.
After a while, she looked down and replied, “I think Blake is more qualified to do this.”
“He’s skilled with self-defense. He can not only act as your eyes but also protect you…”
“I…”
“No one compares to you in my eyes.”

Damien smiled and held the hand on his wheelchair. “Cherry, do you know how much. criticism I’ve
faced since I was little?”
Cherise pursed her lips and remained silent.
She knew what he meant.
Even Bernard dared to tell him that he was bad luck. Others must have said worse things.
Damien’s whisper floated in the wind. “Some people said I’m cursed.”
Cherise shook her head. “I know you’re not cursed.”
“See, I’m fine standing next to you!”
Damien smiled and continued, “Some said I’m bad luck.”
“Others said I’m not fit to be a Lenoir.”
“They said I should leave the Lenoir family and be left to fend for myself.”
“Some even said I should have died.”
He laughed with self-derision. The black sash over his eyes made him appear mysterious and lonely,
“Who do you think I should listen to?”
Cherise shook her head hard. “They were trying to discourage you. You mustn’t listen or believe any of
them!”
She held his hand urgently. “Dear, don’t listen to others. What matters the most is happiness!”
Damien smiled. “You mean I mustn’t listen to others and focus on my happiness?”
“That’s right!”

He sounded just like those gossiping women.
Cherise’s face blushed before turning pale. In the end, she could not help but laugh at his
impersonations.
