Chapter 736 Meeting Zachary’s Fiancée
The man narrowed his eyes. “Let’s wait for him to regain consciousness, alright? I’ve already requested Mr. Hampson to investigate.”
“There’s no need to investigate. It was Ursula.” Cherise shut her eyes, a bitter smile forming on her lips.
Rowena hadn’t done anything since Cherise had subtly warned her in the emergency room. Cherise had assumed Rowena was retreating and backing down. She hadn’t anticipated the Mortis sisters to be scheming behind her back.
If it wasn’t for Damien and Zachary today, that truck would likely have already crushed her.
The Mortis sisters were merciless. Cherise hadn’t exposed Rowena before everyone, yet Rowena and Ursula were plotting to kill her.
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital. As Cherise disembarked from the vehicle, she caught sight. of medical personnel carrying Zachary through the gaps between Damien’s fingers.
Zachary’s eyes were shut, and his face was bloody. The blood on his body had even stained the stretcher beneath him crimson. Cherise inexplicably felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Cherise sat on the bench outside
the emergency room. She silently stared at the red light outside the room that indicated the space was occupied. This was her first time experiencing how tormenting that red light looked.
She had enthusiastically planned where to take Zachary and his fiancée just a few hours ago, but this man was in the emergency room because of her a few hours later.
A girl in a floral dress rushed over shortly. “Excuse me, is Zachary Miles in this emergency room?”
The girl had an oval face and round eyes. Her black hair was tied into two ponytails, and a beige hair clip was on her head. She looked very young, like a well-mannered and adorable high school student.
Cherise furrowed her brows and looked up subconsciously. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Yes. Zachary is inside. Damien held Cherise’s hand and spoke softly. “And you are?”
Im his fiancée. The girl pursed her lips and glanced anxiously at the red light above the emergency room. “Are you his friends? How long has he been in there?”
Cherise, who had been silent since entering the hospital, spoke hoarsely. “Half an hour.”
She looked up and carefully sized up the girl who seemed significantly younger than herself. “Are you… the fiancée he mentioned on the phone?”
The girl was taken aback. She quickly nodded and extended her hand politely. “You must be Cherise Shaw. He talks about you often.”
“My name is Lyra Quinnell. You can call me Lyra.” The girl’s fingers lightly squeezed her backpack’s straps, and she spoke somewhat nervously. “He said he was coming ahead of time to give you a surprise. How did get into a car accident?”
Cherise closed her eyes and was momentarily at a loss for words. “Lyra, you… need to be prepared.” She looked up at the girl before her. “Zachary appears… to be seriously injured.”
The girl was stunned. She had just grasped the gravity of the situation. “He… won’t be in danger, will he?” Her dark gaze dimmed. “We just… got engaged not long ago.”
Once Lyra started speaking, Cherise’s heart suddenly began to ache. It was her fault. The Mortis sisters had taken advantage of her kindness and used this opportunity to harm her.
If she had told Damien about what had happened three years ago and exposed Rowena’s lies from the start, Zachary, who had come to surprise her, wouldn’t have been injured…
“It’s all my fault.” The woman helplessly ran her fingers through her hair. “I’m the one to blame…
