Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 A Coincidence

He didn’t have any problems eating before she suggested feeding him.

After Cherise was done serving and feeding Damien, she received a call from Eriana before she could wash the dishes,

“Cherise, I’m not trying to rush you. You inust be more sincere if you want me to keep your secret. Don’t tell me you’ll delay giving me even the three thousand?”

Eriana started urging Cherise for money once the call was answered.

This time, her tone was harsher than last night. From the looks of it, Eriana was up to something.

Cherise pursed her lips and glanced at Damien as he sat on the living room couch and listened to the news. “Aunt Eriana, you’re being too impatient.”

“I’m not free in the morning. I’ll come and look for you in the afternoon.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word. I won’t shortchange you. I’ll give you three thousand, but if you don’t help me keep my secret, I won’t give you anything.”

On the other end of the phone, Eriana snorted coldly. “If I don’t get the money today, you can explain it to your grandmother yourself by her bed!”

“I’ll tell her you married a blind, disabled man for her sake!”

Cherise’s head hurt. She massaged the bridge of her nose. “Wait for me to come and give it to you in the afternoon.”

Cherise was an orphan adopted by Elvis, while Eriana was Mary’s biological daughter.

But Eriana threatened Cherise with Mary’s health at a time like this.

Cherise was experiencing the cruelty and indifference of humanity.

After her morning classes ended, she turned down Lucy’s invitation to eat lunch. She took a bus alone to the hospital Nicky was at.

The hospital Nicky was in was where Cherise had previously met Ian.

When Cherise went to the hospital room to give Eriana the money, Eriana was feeding Nicky.

Eriana’s face turned cold when she saw Cherise. “Why did you take so long? I thought you weren’t coming.”

Cherise smiled demurely. “I had classes in the morning, so I was busy.”

“You sound like you’re very hardworking.”

Eriana rolled her eyes and put the cutlery down. She turned and left with Cherise.

Lying on the hospital bed, Nicky looked startled since Cherise entered. From the looks of it, Blake had beaten him up severely.
