Chapter 566 Damien’s Search
“He didn’t choose to have such a father or family either.”
“It’s just like how you couldn’t believe that your uncle would commit arson and murder. Understandably, he didn’t believe his father was a rapist.”
“If you have feelings for him, don’t overthink it.”
Cherise sighed and rested her weight on the table, exhaling softly.
After lunch, Cherise made her rounds and checked on her patients in their rooms.
Syatt was the last patient she visited.
“Mrs. Lenoir.”
Cherise frowned. “Please don’t call me that.”
“Alright, alright.”
Syatt nodded and eagerly took Cherise’s hand. “Mrs. Lenoir, when will you reconcile with Mr. Lenoir?”
Cherise was flabbergasted.
She found it somewhat amusing. “Did Damien drug you? Why have you suddenly started defending him?”
“He didn’t drug me.”
Syatt took a deep breath and pulled out his cell phone. “Mr. Lenoir showed me a video.”
“Take a look.”
Cherise furrowed her brows and leaned in.
His phone screen played scenes captured with a handheld video camcorder. The footage showcased Shaw’s village.
“Cherise, this is Shaw’s village. You probably don’t recognize it anymore, do you?”
“It’s because of the money I invested with Jack last time. He really did lead the village to prosperity.”
“Uncle Shaw and Aunt Wanda moved back while Sky and Tay got into college,”
The scene shifted to a small bridge and river in the village. “You and Blake used to catch fish here, and I could only watch from the side.”
“Cherise, many fish are in the river now, and I’d love to catch fish with you. Would you come back to me again?
Cherise’s college campus was shown next. “I asked the dean and your cla*smates. They said you like to study at this spot in the square every morning.”
“You previously said you wanted me to eat in the cafeteria and study with you.”
“If you come back to me, I’ll do these things with you.”

Finally, the scene switched to Damien’s stubbled face. “Cherise, this is the thirty-fifth day since I’m remorseful and want to find you, but you won’t see me.”
The scenes kept changing.
“Cherise, this is the sixtieth day I’ve been looking for you.”
“It’s been 120 days.”
“365 days have pa*sed.”
“I’ve been looking for you for 1099 days.”
Damien’s cold face appeared each time. “I’m waiting for you to come back.”
The video editing wasn’t perfect, but each scene was enough to bring tears to Cherise’s eyes.
you left.
Syatt sighed lightly. “Mr. Lenoir said he started broadcasting this video on advertising screens in major cities around the world two years ago, hoping you would know he’s waiting for you.”
“But… it seems like you’ve never seen it.”
Cherise stared blankly at the video on Syatt’s phone as she wiped her eyes. The corners of her eyes were filled with tears.
The woman sniffled. “Can you send me a copy of this video?”
“Of course!”
Syatt nodded and quickly emailed the video to Cherise. “Speaking of which, Dr. Shaw, aren’t you moved. by everything Mr. Lenoir has done for you?”
Cherise nodded as she saw the video file in her inbox. “Of course, I’m moved.”
“So, will you two reconcile?”
Syatt still looked at Cherise with the same adoring gaze as before. “Does it mean you’re close to forgiving him if you’re moved?”
He looked at Cherise seriously. “Mr. Lenoir is sincere about you, Dr. Shaw.”
“He told me a lot about what happened when he was looking for you all these years when he showed me this video earlier this afternoon.”
