Chapter 567 Is He Giving Up?
“I have come to understand the difference between him and me.”
“I confessed my love for you, but unlike him, I cannot abandon almost everything in my pursuit to find
you.”
“I questioned myself. If you were to leave me one day, would I be determined to search relentlessly for you for five years?”
As he spoke, the man bowed his head in silence. “Therefore, I slapped myself.”
“Perhaps, compared to Mr. Lenoir, I lack a true understanding of what love truly entails.”
Cherise was left speechless with surprise as she gazed at Syatt before her.
Eventually, she let out a light sigh and gently moved Syatt onto the bed. “Alright. I understand.”
“But Syatt, you must prioritize your health no matter what.”
“Whatever happens between Damien and me is our own business. You have heart problems, so avoid getting overly agitated and refrain from self-harm without reason. Take responsibility for your own well- being, alright?”
After that, she didn’t wait for Syatt to respond and promptly left the ward.
Cherise let out a long sigh as she left and glanced at her cell phone.
She pur her phone on silent mode and repeatedly watched the scenes that Damien had personally documented.
He went to Adania, Tanner Residence in Europe, Miles Manor in Ziphon, Shaw’s village, and Adania University. He even visited the locations she had written about in her diary, like South America and Peru, where she had longed to visit and explore.
He would record himself searching for any traces of her at each location and annotate it with how many days he had been searching.
As she scrutinized these scenes, Cherise’s emotions were in turmoil.
It would be a blatant lie to claim she wasn’t moved.
But she didn’t necessarily want to forgive him just because she was stirred…
She lay in her office and watched the video for the entire afternoon.
When it was time to clock out in the evening, Lucy asked curiously while changing, “Did Damien come to see you in the afternoon?”
Cherise, who was buttoning her clothes, paused momentarily. “No.”
“How strange.”
Lucy raised her eyebrows. “Don’t tell me I hit the nail on the head? Is he giving up so easily?”
“I a*sumed he would pursue you relentlessly. Turns out, it seems he values his pride more. You rebuked

him at noon, and he’s nowhere to be seen by evening?”
Cherise pursed her lips and remained silent.
She deliberately strolled from the hospital to the parking lot.
Dr. Shaw, are you waiting for someone?”
Doctors and nurses walked past her continuously.
Cherise shook her head. “No…”
“Oh, you’re walking so slowly. I thought you had plans and were waiting for someone.”
“I don’t.”
“Do you want to come with us? We’re going out for drinks later!”
“Yeah, Dr. Shaw, would you like to join us? We’ve never had drinks with you.”
Cherise waved awkwardly. She turned to unlock the car door with her car keys. “Not today. I need to pick. my children up from kindergarten.”
“Ah. I see. What a shame…”
The doctors and nurses walked away dejectedly. Cherise let out a long sigh and finally settled into the driver’s seat.
Forget it.
I should be happy since Damien no longer wants to bother me. Why should I feel disappointed?
He loves me deeply? So what if he broadcasted the video of his search for me on screens in major cities globally and searched for me relentlessly for five long years…
It’s all a lie!
A charade!
I only rebuked him impulsively before getting to the bottom of things!
But he quickly backed away and was nowhere to be seen for the entire afternoon. He completely stopped pestering and disturbing me!
