Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband novel Chapter 862

Chapter 862 A Sudden Revelation
In truth, a pang of hunger gnawed at Cherise's stomach.

The ordeal of last night's car ride had sapped much of her energy.

She pressed her lips together and instructed, "Pop it in the fridge for me; I'll eat it when I return."

With a concerned glance, Frances slipped two packets of hot milk into Cherise's bag, fearing she might grow famished on her way.

Cherise sipped on the warm milk, exiting the manor while settling into Mr. Kolson's car.

Thirty minutes later, the vehicle pulled up at the research institute.

Just as before, upon stepping out of the car at the institute's entrance, Cherise noticed her colleagues' furtive glances and hushed murmurs.

The unresolved plagiarism issue cast a pall over her interactions.

These silent judgments weighed heavily on Cherise's spirits.

She hastened towards Heather's usual workspace, milk in hand.

Heather had mentioned earlier that Mr. Whitlock sought to speak with her, prompting Cherise to head straight for his office.

As she approached within twenty meters of the door, Cherise caught the sound of a woman sobbing from within.

She barely registered the first cry.

But the second one jolted her to action.

It was Heather's voice!

Hastily, she rushed forward, flinging open the director's door!

The sight that greeted her shook Cherise to her core.

Heather lay on the bed, stripped to her shirt, while Yolanda, clad in white, sat nearby, delicately puncturing Heather's blisters with a needle and holding disinfectant.

Mr. Whitlock stood at Yolanda's side, offering ointment with a respectful smile.

The shrieks that had echoed earlier had been Heather's cries as her blisters were lanced!
