Chapter 180 Tainted Tales

“What if I refuse to tell you?”

Dr. Johnson sighed heavily. “The girl is already pregnant, and their relationship seems. fine. Why

meddle?”

Ian, on the phone, was left utterly stunned. “No, that can’t be!”

How could Cherise be pregnant? She had only been married to Damien for just over a month!

“She’s indeed pregnant, but it hasn’t been long, Dr. Mark said.

“You need to trust your uncle’s experience. My pulse diagnosis is much more accurate than early

pregnancy tests,” Dr. Johnson reassured earnestly.

He sighed, “lan, you should focus on your own life. Let others…”

“Damien isn’t blind, right?”

Ian narrowed his eyes on the phone. Dr. Johnson wouldn’t have said so much if Damien weren’t blind.

“Whether he’s blind or not, Cherise and her child do not concern you.”

“I’ve got it!”

Ian snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

He couldn’t and wouldn’t let Cherise bear Damien’s child!

She was pure, innocent, and devoted to her family.

If she gives birth to Damien’s child, she will never leave him for the rest of her life.

Cherise felt dejected and guided Damien back from the Johnson village to the Shaw Family village.

When they arrived at the entrance, they encountered Ben, who was burdened with bags. Behind him, a

teary-eyed Vivian trailed.

“Give me a break,” Cherise scoffed under her breath.

Ben sneered upon seeing Cherise and Damien. He glared at Cherise coldly and scoffed, “Married a

disabled person and now shamelessly dragging a disabled man back home. How embarrassing”

“And how did Elvis end up with such a shameless girl?” he scowled.

Vivian heard and frowned. She gently pushed Ben. “Dad, leave them alone.”

“That blind guy is quite powerful, you know,” Vivian warned.

Her husband was arrested last night, and his dislocated wrist hadn’t fully healed yet!

Ben snorted and gave Vivian a disdainful glare. “So, Dexter went in and took your guts with him?”

“A blind guy like him, what is there to be afraid of?”

“Honey, let’s go,” Cherise said, pulling Damien away.

Cherise quickly led Damien away from Ben and Vivian, avoiding conflict with the father- daughter pair,

and headed towards another alley to go home.

However, Ben wasn’t willing to let her off so quickly.

The sun shone bright in the sky, casting long shadows across the village paths. The air was filled with

the sounds of the busy farmers heading home for a well-deserved lunch after a morning’s hard work in

the fields.

Ben raised his voice and declared, “Listen, everyone! I was telling the truth! A few days back, I told you

all about the little girl Elvis saved and gave away to a blind man in return for treating his mother’s

illness. Can you imagine that some of you doubted it?”

“Now look, the one she’s supporting, with something covering his eyes, isn’t that the blind. man?”

“Was I lying? Elvis’s family is heartless. This Cherise is just silly!”

The villagers came to a sudden halt, staring at Cherise and Damien while murmurs filled.

the air.

Cherise could feel her anger well in her chest as she went cold with fury.

She guided Damien carefully through the onlookers, heading home.

Ben’s voice slowly faded as he mocked, “Can you hide forever?”

“You married a disabled man just for money, and now you can’t bear to hear the truth!?”

Cherise clenched her fists tightly. Her anger was mounting, and she was about to explode with rage.

Damien lightly furrowed his brow and reached for her hand. “Does it bother you?”

Cherise was puzzled and looked up

at him.

“Bother me? What do you mean?”

“Do you mind being ridiculed for marrying a disabled man?” Damien questioned.

Cherise shook her head. “I’ve never minded, not at all.”
