Chapter 233
A large, sprawling mansion was in the affluent area of Astonburg Manesia. The mansion was elegant and grand, offering views of the mountains and lakes, away from the noise and busir.
By the large balcony on the second floor, Cherise leaned against the railing in a loose, cozy white sweater dress. Her long hair was loose, flowing freely in the wind.
In her hand was a phone showing that she’d just ended a call with Truman. Just now, she played both parts, using two different voices to get through to Truman’s phone. She had just ished the call.
She gazed at the tranquil lake in the distance and took a deep breath. She turned around, pushed the sliding glass door open, and stepped inside. Glancing at Morris sleeping in bed, she tiptoed.
Morris, who had been lying in bed since he fell into a coma, had been asleep for almost 48 hours now. His face remained as handsome and elegant as ever.
The skin that was red before surgery was slowly recovering with the massage of special ointments, What remained were some serious scars and slightly singed hair.
By the edge of the bed, Cherise leaned over and reached out to feel Morris’s forehead. She murmured, “Looks like got a slight concussion. I wonder if there will be any after–effects,

“We’ll just have to wait until you wake up to see. After inhaling so much smoke, it’s hard to say when you’ll wake up After that, she tucked Morris in and touched the dark stubble on his lips that had grown over the past two days without shave. She felt it was a bit prickly.
st as she turned to
She rechecked Morris’s condition, then grabbed the clothes he had changed out of, ready to wash them. Just as leave, a large hand gripped her small wrist tightly.
Cherise froze immediately. The warmth from that palm was very familiar to her. For some reason, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Not wanting Morris to notice, she desperately tilted her head back to keep them in check. But they still slid down her cheek. Morris, lying in bed, watched Cherise’s back and smiled softly.
When Cherise stepped into the ER of the hospital in Astonburg, Manesia, where he was being treated, he could sense she had arrived.
In a slightly weak voice, he said, “Cherise, where are you going? Turn around and let me see you, okay? It’s been so long since 1 last saw you. I really miss you,”
Seeing Cherise didn’t turn around, he lowered his voice on purpose and said, “Sweetheart, what’s wrong? I can’t get up, and I’m feeling really bad. Let me see you, okay?”
Hearing Morris say he felt really bad, Cherise immediately turned around. She leaned over the side of the bed and said, “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt? Let me take a look.”
Morris chuckled softly when he saw Cherise’s worried reaction to his words. Seeing him laugh, Chérise quickly understood. She said, “Were you faking it? How childish!”
Morris shook his head and reached out to wipe the tears from her face. He spoke with concern, “I wasn’t faking it; it really does hurt. I’m sorry, sweetheart, for making you worry this time
Cherise pouted and said, “It’s good that you understand. If this happens again, I won’t talk to you.”
Morris chuckled softly and said, “You won’t ignore me.”

Seeing Cherise like this, Morris wanted to tease her. He said, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to propose right now?” Hearing this, Cherise’s already pink face turned even redder as die looked at Morris with slight annoyance. She said, “What are you talking about! You’re in bed with no flowers or ring. Im hot agreeing
Morris couldn’t help but laugh. But that laughter accidentally pulled at his wound, making him let out a sharp yell. “Serves you right” Cherise ignored him and just said those words. The big room was bathed in sunlight, filled with love.
Of course, Cherise didn’t actually ignore Morris. She carefully checked his wound, changed his bandages, then picked up some clothes for washing and left the room.
Morris watched Cherise as she walked out of the room, a gentle look on his face. He thought, ‘My sweet girl deserves the most beautiful proposal in the world‘
