Chapter 657 She Is Happy
Not all doctors were as indifferent as Lucy.
Cherise had already experienced this firsthand, feeling the palpable hostility from her colleagues at the
hospital today as if they wished they could trample her underfoot.
Despite maintaining a low profile over the years, the director’s favor and praise had thrust her into the
limelight. This had sparked envy among her fellow doctors.
A pang of bitterness tugged at Damien’s heart when he noticed Cherise’s gradually dimming
eyes.
He asked, “Are you satisfied with your life now?”
“I can’t
say whether I’m satisfied or not. Actually, aside from these unnecessary social events and meetings, I
quite enjoy my current job. It’s comfortable and fulfilling.”
The man looked at her and smiled. “Your personality might be better suited for behind-the- scenes
academic research rather than making public appearances and delivering speeches.”
“Perhaps.”
The emotions that had accumulated for a long time were finally released. Cherise let out a long sigh of
relief, feeling much better.
Moments later, she placed the pillow on the couch and said, “It’s getting late. You should back and
rest.”
“And what about you?”
She waved the notebook in her hand. “I’ll continue working on this.”
“I’ll stay with you,” Damien answered gently.

Sitting beside her, he carefully read her writings in the notebook and pointed to where she had just
written. “Here, people will question why you want to go abroad.”
Cherise bit the end of her pen and pondered momentarily before writing in the notebook. ‘I went to
Europe to receive treatment for my right hand.
Damien’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Five years ago, at their wedding, Cherise had indeed used her right hand to shield him from a knife
attack by Melanie. At the time, he had consulted numerous doctors, and the consensus was that it
wouldn’t affect her daily life or her ability to perform surgeries.

So why did she go to Europe for treatment? Moreover, she had undergone the treatment two years Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
ago. If it were the injury from five years ago, she wouldn’t have waited until three later to treat it.
Frowning, Damien glanced at her right hand, which was holding the pen.
years.
The skin on her right hand was fair and delicate, but the scar from the stab wound on the back of her
hand was clearly visible.
“Is your hand… okay?”
Cherise’s hand holding the pen paused abruptly.
The next second, she wore an awkward smile and covered the scar on the back of her hand with her
sleeve. “Yeah. It has fully healed.”
“I didn’t expect the injury from five years ago would still affect you…”
Stunned, Cherise coughed lightly in embarrassment. “It’s all in the past now.”
Damien narrowed his eyes. Perceiving her somewhat awkward gaze, he decided not to press further.
And so, the man in the light gray pajamas and the woman in the pink home clothes sat on the living
room floor and rehearsed repeatedly under the dim light of the table lamp for the various scenarios they
might encounter at tomorrow’s press conference.
Unbeknownst to them, the door to Soren’s room had been silently opened at some point. The little guy
in the light blue pajamas stood at the door and observed the scene in the living room for a long time.
Ultimately, Soren took out his phone and captured the scene before him.
After returning to his room, Soren hesitated for quite a while before sending the picture to Zachary,
‘Uncle Zach, is Mommy truly happy now?”
Moments later, Zachary replied.
“Yes, she is.
“Congratulations to your family.”
The next day, the press conference held by Lermilles Hospital commenced at ten o’clock in the
morning.
