Chapter 805 The Joyful Awakening
Amidst the chaos, Raymond and the groom were rushed to the hospital, and the groom’s awakening marked the joyous conclusion of the wedding.
Now dressed comfortably, Lyra sat on a hospital bench outside Zachary’s room, holding Cherise’s hand tightly. “Cherry, I’m really scared,” she whispered, her face pale with panic.
“You weren’t this nervous when you said you wanted to marry my brother, so why are you acting like a scaredy-cat now that Zac’s awake?” Kareen retorted, sitting down across from them with her arms crossed.
Lyra bit her lip and stammered, “I thought I could be strong for him and take care of him while he was in a coma. But now that he’s regained consciousness… he might think that I was pushing too hard for this wedding. His proposal was sudden, and…”
She choked back a sniffle, “He still had feelings for… Zac was still hung up on Cherry back then, and what if he regrets everything?”
Tears welled up in her eyes, painting her cheeks a rosy hue. “If he does… maybe we should just go to the courthouse tomorrow morning and get it over with…”
Lyra nodded, but unease lingered in her mind. Muttering to herself, “What if…”
Cherise gently squeezed her hand. “Lyra, there are no what ifs, so stop catastrophizing. Breaking up or staying together, it’s not all up to you, honey. We also have to consider Zac’s feelings, right?”
She gave a slight smile, ready to offer more comfort to Lyra when the door to the room swung open.
Several doctors who had been examining Zachary emerged with smiles and approached Lyra, “Mrs. Miles, Mr. Miles is doing well now. With some good rest, he’ll be back to his old self!”
Lyra was pleasantly surprised, “I… I’m not Mrs. Miles; just call me Lyra.”
The doctors exchanged puzzled looks, “Oh? You… aren’t Mrs. Miles?”
Had they made a mistake? Didn’t this woman just come in wearing a wedding dress? Was there another bride?
As the doctors started speculating about a love triangle, Cherise intervened, saying, “Don’t mind her rambling; she’s just too excited and talking nonsense!”
After that, she nudged Lyra into the room and shut the door. When Cherise returned after closing the door, Kareen chatted with the doctors about Zachary’s condition.
After bidding farewell to the doctors, Kareen glanced at the closed door and asked, “Is she in there?”
Cherise nodded, “Yes.”
Kareen shook her head, almost amused, “What a fool.”
Then, facing Cherise, s.
said, “Just like you, a fool.”
Cherise frowned, “Excuse me, who are you calling a fool?”

Kareen rolled her eyes, “You, of course. I’ve never liked you one bit, yet you’re still hanging out with my brother, and your husband is fully committed to the Miles Group. Quite the fool, aren’t you?”
With an unexpected smile, she added, “But I kinda appreciate your unique brand of foolishness.”
Kareen sheepishly scratched her neck: “Look, Gwenn used to be my BFF, and she always painted you as the villain. So, I judged you, big time. My bad for being clueless.”
Although clumsy, Kareen’s apology seemed genuine.
Cherise softened. “You’re Zac’s little sister, the one my mom practically raised. I never thought you were bad, not for a second. If you’re willing, I would also like to be friends with your friends and family.”
