Chapter 526 Guess Who I Bumped Into
âGuess who I bumped into?â
âWho?â
âCherise.
As the name was uttered, a profound silence ensued on the other end of the line.
After a moment, Jacob sighed. âYouâve been searching for her for years, and it turns out she has become a doctor in a small town. It does make sense, though. Wasnât she studying medicine when you two got married?â
âWe were mistaken, a*suming she would inherit the Tanner or the Milesâ business. Weâve been investigating in that direction all these years.â
âWho would have thought that Beckham would actually let her pursue her pa*sion.â
Damien narrowed his eyes with his gaze fixated on the woman in surgical scrubs.
It had been five years.
She had slimmed down, grown, and become even more captivating.
âThatâs all for now.â
Cherise handed a full page of notes to Charles. If you have any queries, you can find me in my
office.â
With that, she turned and left.
Damien stood less than 15 feet away from her.
However, Cherise didnât glance in his direction or notice his presence.
All she wanted for now was to retreat to her office and get some much-needed sleep.
After a grueling thirteen-hour surgery, she was exhausted and famished..
Once back in her office, Cherise quickly changed her clothes and freshened up. Then, she started nibbling on a sandwich while texting Zachary. âThe surgery from yesterday just concluded.
âCan you help drop the children off at the kindergarten later?
âMy God, Bunny, canât you take a break?â
Zachary replied in no time. âYouâve been in surgery since yesterday afternoon!â
1/2
âYes. Itâs a challenging case which is similar to Momâs back then.
âFortunately, the surgery was a success.
Aunt Charisa would be overjoyed if she knew.â
Zachary sent a resigned emoji. âBut if she knew you were pushing yourself this hard, she would be upset with you.â
âGo rest quickly!â
âOkay.â
Cherise put on a wry smile and continued nibbling on her sandwich. After hanging up the call, she picked up the surgical report and filled in the crucial details.
Just then, her office door swung open.
She frowned, and without lifting her gaze, she continued to fill in the report while speaking. âIf youâre a patient, please seek a*sistance at the nurseâs station or the clinic.â
âIf youâre a staff, please refrain from disturbing me. I need to rest.â
However, the person at the door showed no signs of leaving.
Frowning, Cherise put down the pen after finishing writing and glanced toward the door.
Instantly, her pupils constricted.
Dressed in a sleek black suit, the striking man with distinctive features stood tall at the door, emanating an imposing aura.
He was more attractive but also aloof than five years ago.
He radiated the coldness and masculinity typical of men in their thirties.
Cherise looked at him, but her astonishment merely lasted for a moment.
She greeted the man. âHi, Mr. Lenoir. Are you here to inquire about your sisterâs surgery?â
She offered a professional smile. Her voice was formal as if she was dealing with a strangerâs family member. âThe surgery was successful; both the mother and daughter are safe.â
âYour sister gave birth to a healthy seven-pound baby girl. Her heart condition was also treated. While we canât predict the future, at least she can live five more years without any complications.â
The woman yawned, turned around, and opened the door behind her office, which led to the staff dormitory.
