Chapter 617 True Love

Both she and Charles had scars on their faces when they first met.

They were both survivors of a devastating fire, seeking a second chance at life in the hospital.

Their paths crossed, love blossomed, and she finally understood the true essence of love.

“True love does exist,” she declared.

After sharing those words, Maeve looked at Lucy and whispered, “Ms. Staber, Lenn has been searching for you all

these years.”

Lucy’s grip on the black card tightened.

Lennon had been… searching for her all these years? –

She was so busy that she could barely recall who Lennon was.

She shook her head, “Searching for what?”

“Even if he found me, there’s no valid reason for us to reunite,” Lucy muttered, leaving immediately.

As Lucy’s hands brushed against the doorknob, Maeve sighed, “Lenn hasn’t been well these past few years.”

“How does it concern me?”

Lucy scoffed and strode out of the ward.

The breeze in the corridor left her feeling a bit chilly.

She wrapped herself in her white coat as a cold shiver filled her heart.

The haunting echoes of Lennon’s anguished voice during their breakup reverberated in her

cars.

“Lucy, I’m not a substitute for the family love you’re seeking!”

“You don’t have to force yourself to be with me just because your mother donated your kidney to me!”

Lucy gave a bitter smile.

He hadn’t been doing well these years?

He deserved it.

Due to Cherry’s recent unusual behavior, David couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss with her lately.

So when Cherry went to the director and dean to request leave for a shopping trip with Lucy, David exchanged a

knowing glance with Mr. Carlos.”

Mr. Carlos beamed, quickly approved the leave, and said, “Cherry, if you’re feeling down, go out and enjoy yourself,

don’t overthink!”

“Lulu is your best friend. Let her accompany you

and open your heart!”

“Enjoy yourself for a few days, then return and focus on your work!”

Cherise nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

As she left Mr. Carlos’ office, she noticed that the leave was for two days.

She frowned as she had only requested one day.

She quickly turned back and pushed open the office door.

Mr. Carlos was on a call in his office.

“Lulu, yes,

I’ve approved the leave.”

“David mentioned Cherry’s recent unusual behavior. She’s trying to reopen Isaac’s case from years ago. Do you

think she’s not thinking clearly?”

“Yes, you should advise her not to do anything reckless…”

“I think she might be under immense pressure lately; could she be depressed?”

“If you an persuade her, that would be ideal. If not, we do have a psychiatric department…”

Cherise was standing outside the door and felt numb.

In David and Mr. Carlos’ opinion, did Cherry’s recent effort to reopen Isaac’s case suggest mental instability?

The woman discreetly sighed and closed the door, avoiding embarrassment.

On the way to the mall, Cherise wasn’t surprised to be teased by Lucy the entire way.

“What was Damien thinking, trying to reopen your case?”

“Why did he make you apologize to David?”

“This is outrageous!”

“Reopening a case involving a competitor from years ago, especially at the peak of one’s career, seems

counterproductive and self-sabotaging. Who would even consider such a move?”
