Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1203

Chapter 1203 Chaos Unfurling
Even the man who was her beloved had forsaken her; his devotion now entirely belonged to Violet.

From her vantage point on the second floor, Lucy observed the scene below with a heavy heart. Cheers and applause erupted from the crowd as the grand surprise unfolded.

She watched Lennon emerge from the oversized gift box, his face lighting up as he embraced Violet in a warm hug.

Her gaze remained steady as Lennon knelt down, his voice filled with sincerity as he professed his love to Violet.

She felt a pang of bittersweet resignation as she watched Lennon slide the engagement ring onto Violet's slender finger, the final act of commitment that sealed their bond.

Lucy's lips tightened into a thin line, her gaze drifting unconsciously to the wedding ring located on her right hand's ring finger.

"You need to stop overexerting yourself!" Colin insisted, his worry deepening.

Grinding his teeth, Colin continued, "The hospital reached out to me today with the news that they've found a compatible liver donor for you. Moreover, the surgery can be done as quickly as tonight..."

"This is a rare chance, you truly need..."

Lucy swiveled her head in refusal, cutting off Colin's words.

Before Colin could say another word, they were jolted by Violet's piercing scream echoing from downstairs.

Both of them spun around to face the source of the commotion—
