Isaac sat across from Cherise, dumbstruck. His eyes widened in astonishment.
Is this the same reserved, aloof, and unapproachable Dr. Shaw I used to know? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
From what he could remember, Dr. Shaw seldom ate with colleagues. Even when she did, she only
nibbled a few bites before finding an excuse to leave. She always ate the slowest and showed the least
interest in food during lunch at the hospital.
He never knew Dr. Shaw could enjoy food with such excitement and joy…
Cherise sat in her chair under the midday sun, perspiring profusely as she devoured the chicken leg.
Damien sat beside her, smiling as he wiped her mouth, dabbed her sweat, grilled chicken legs for her,
and cleared away her gnawed chicken bones….
Isaac watched this scene in a daze. He felt slightly regretful but mostly envious.
As it turns out, Dr. Shaw isn’t naturally cold. She just doesn’t let her guard down around others.
This medical expert appears aloof, elegant, and indifferent to others but is charming and docile around
her loved ones…
He finally understood why Cherise had rejected all the men who had pursued her over the
years.
With such a handsome, wealthy, and outstanding man who spoils her rotten… How can she settle for
ordinary men like me?
After lunch, Cherise reclined on the sofa in Isaac’s clinic, patting her satisfied belly. “I’m not having
dinner tonight. I need to lose weight.”
Damien, who was cleaning up with Isaac, chuckled lightly. “But I’m making chicken legs tonight.”

Her current demeanor had been shaped over the past five years, and her appearance still retained the
charm she had five years ago.
“She was more adorable back then.” Observing her from a distance, Damien commented casually. “Her
face used to be fuller, and she looked like a doll.” Her face was more defined now. Although she
appeared more competent and mature, she wasn’t as delicate as before.
He used to love pinching her chubby cheeks in the past. If he were to squeeze them now, he would
probably only feel her prominent cheekbones.
The man sighed. It seems like… I need to help her gain some weight.
After the delightful lunch, Cherise chatted with Mr. Stein and Isaac for a while before they set. off on
their journey to Lermille.
Mr. Stein went in Charles’s car. Isaac initially wanted to follow them because he didn’t want to be a third
wheel to Cherise and Damien. However, Damien insisted that he sit in the passenger’s seat as Cherise
drove. “We’re used to having people third-wheel us. This won’t make a difference.”
Cherise rolled her eyes at Damien. She silently went to the driver’s seat and started the car. Damien
settled in the back seat, leaned back, and drifted off to sleep as the vehicle started moving.
“Mr. Lenoir didn’t get much sleep last night.” Isaac sighed softly as he observed the man’s peaceful
sleeping face in the rearview mirror. “Dr. Shaw, Mr. Luther asked Mr. Lenoir if he wanted to rest before
you arrived. From their conversation, I gathered that Mr. Lenoir had stayed up all night trying to
minimize the impact of this situation on you.”
“But even so, he still feels he didn’t do enough. He believes the report wouldn’t have surfaced on the
internet if he had been more thorough.”
