Chapter 601 Not As Simple As They Seem
Noticing Damien’s outstretched hand, Cherise instinctively grasped it before her mind could process what was happening.
Their palms met.
The warm sensation brought her back to reality, and she realized she had unknowingly held his hand.
A blush crept across her face, and she subconsciously tried to pull her hand away.
But would Damien let go so easily now that he had finally succeeded in holding her hand?
His grip on her hand remained firm. “Dr. Roebuck, it’s time for us to leave.” NôvelDrama.Org content.
With that, he led Cherise by the hand and walked out.
Cherise felt annoyed and anxious, but she needed to maintain composure in front of Isaac until the situation was resolved. She couldn’t push Damien away.
All she could do was fidget her fingers in his palm while shooting him a glare.
“Hold on.”
Isaac interrupted as they were about to leave. He quickly took off his white coat and grabbed his jacket by the door.
“If you two are heading back to Lermille, can I catch a ride with you? I need to bring that troublemaker Jordyn back.”
Damien nodded. “Of course.”
Even if Isaac hadn’t mentioned it, he had intended to have a meaningful conversation with the ‘righteous’ young woman after they returned to Lermille.
Once they left the clinic, Cherise forcefully shook off Damien’s hand. She took out her car keys and got into her vehicle.
Damien turned to Isaac. “You can ride with me.”
Isaac was taken aback.
He voiced his confusion only after settling into the back seat of Damien’s car. “I thought you two came together.”
Damien offered a faint smile. “Well, you’re mistaken.”
“But…”
He had clearly seen Mr. Lenoir holding Dr. Shaw’s hand.
And she didn’t resist.
Clearly, their relationship wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
After all, many people at the hospital were vying for Dr. Shaw’s attention, but none could get close to her.
Even he himself had only managed to get slightly closer to her during work.
“I’m courting her.”
The red BMW in front of them started moving.
Damien started the car engine with a smile. His deep voice carried a hint of pride and amusement. “Do you think I have a chance?”
The red and black cars sped along the highway.
A couple of hours later, they arrived in Lermille.

Although it was her day off, Cherise couldn’t neglect her patients. She made a U-turn and headed for the hospital when they reached the city.
Damien drove Isaac to the police station.
When Jordyn was escorted out by the police, her hair was disheveled, and her face was filled with indignation.
“I’m telling you, no one can stop me. I’m determined to expose that woman’s true colors.”
She spoke while being led out by the police.
Isaac stood helplessly in the corridor with his arms crossed, watching her. “What if I try to persuade you?”
His voice was as clear as a mountain spring.
Jordyn paused.
The next moment, she lifted her head abruptly and looked in the direction of the voice.
The young girl’s eyes widened: “Isaac?!”
She wriggled free from the officers and ran excitedly toward him.
The girl spread her arms wide open as she dashed in his direction.
She wanted to embrace Isaac.
But Isaac remained standing there with his arms crossed, showing no intention of returning the gesture.
Excited, the girl reached Isaac’s side. She reluctantly lowered her hands, realizing he wasn’t responding to her hug. “Isaac, you’re here.”
