Chapter 518 A Mother’s Sacrifice
Cherise’s jaw gnawed, and her fists clenched tightly..
“Mom…,” she began.
She was willing to relinquish her identity, resentment, and possessions for her well-being.
Because she loved Damien, her mother chose to accept him despite his father’s atrocities.
Cherise closed her eyes as warmth and sorrow swirled in her heart.
Charisa had truly devoted her entire existence.
The first half of her life was lived for Beckham.
The second half…
“Compose yourself.”
Zachary inhaled deeply and turned to leave.
Cherise remained in the hospital room.
She leaned against the headboard, her gaze fixed on the distant pale wall. Her heart swelled with emotion.
Surprisingly, she reflected on the recent kindness bestowed upon her by her parents.
The tenderness Damien displayed during this time lingered vividly in her mind.
After a while, she opened her eyes and reached for her phone.
The most recent call log was from Damien.
The latest chat record showed that Damien reminded her to get enough rest and be the most. radiant bride tomorrow.
But the fate of this wedding…
She held her phone, hesitated for a while, and finally sent a message to Damien.
“Are you okay?”
The man on the other end of the phone swiftly responded, “I’m okay.”
Cherise pursed her lips and hesitated.
She struggled to convey her thoughts as waves of emotions paralyzed her, yet not a single word.

Following their enchanting wedding at the New World Restaurant yesterday, Cherise and Damien discovered themselves in a state of wordless uncertainty, unsure of what to say to one another.
“How’s your hand?”
After a long pause, the man on the other end of the phone sent another message.
“It’s okay.”
“Are you at the hospital?”
“Yes,”
“Can I come see you?”
“Not now…”
“Okay.”
“I need some quiet time.”
“Okay.”
Cherise closed her eyes and slumped against the bed as if all her energy had been drained after ending the call.
Soon after, the door of the hospital room was pushed open.
Lucy and Mandy entered.
“Lulu…”
Cherise welled up in tears as soon as she saw Lucy.
Lucy walked over, hugged Cherise, and said gently. “If you want to cry, just cry.”
“Mandy told me everything.”
Cherise was brought to tears profusely by her friend’s kindness at that moment.
“I don’t know what to do…“
After nineteen years, she was reunited with her family, who welcomed her warmly. Beside her stood a man she had only known for a few months, ready to commit to a lifetime with her.
“Maybe you don’t have to make a choice.”
Mandy sat down and sighed. “Beckham said they can forgive Damien’s family’s sins.

“But he hopes Damien can cut ties with the Lenoir family or Maeve.”
Cherise lifted her tear-streaked face and sniffled, “Did Dad say that?”
“Yes.”
Mandy walked over, took a tissue, and wiped Cherise’s tears. “But with Damien’s personality… do you think he would be willing to cut ties with Maeve?”
Cherise’s heart dropped and twisted in agony.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
He probably wouldn’t be willing to.
If he severed connections with Maeve, he would only have Cherise.
And she was the daughter of the enemy who had killed his parents….NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Damien wouldn’t consider choosing her, given the circumstances.
The young girl’s heart plummeted and shattered into fragments.
