Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204 Lucy's Surgery
The assailant chuckled darkly, his voice laced with a sinister edge. "Don't recall how I look now?"

"Might be wise to check in with that empty skull of yours that you complimented me on my endurance and stamina in bed," he taunted, his words dripping with contempt.

Violet clenched her fist tightly, a flicker of resentment flashing in her eyes as she struggled to contain her emotions. She gestured firmly to the two security guards flanking the assailant.

"Stand down and behave yourself!" the guards commanded with steely resolve.

In a swift display of authority, each security guard delivered a sharp slap to the assailant's face. The blows landed with resounding force, leaving his mouth swollen and rendering him momentarily speechless.

After the altercation, the security guards acted swiftly to escort the assailant away, restoring a semblance of order to the chaotic scene. Meanwhile, the sound of sirens heralded the arrival of an ambulance outside.

Violet watched anxiously as the medical team carefully loaded Lennon onto a stretcher, preparing to transport him to the hospital. Despite her overwhelming relief that Lennon had intervened to shield her from harm, a pang of guilt gnawed at her.

When the knife had been poised to strike, it was Lennon who had acted without hesitation, risking his own safety to protect her. His bravery and selflessness were undeniable, yet doubts lingered in Violet's mind.

After the ambulance left with Lennon inside, Violet immediately dialed her father, the Belcourt family patriarch, on her phone. Her voice, though strained with emotion, carried a note of urgency.

"Dad, there's no reason to doubt him any longer," she began, her words firm and resolute. "Lenn genuinely cares about me; I don't see any doubt in him wanting to tie the knot with me."

"I'm your only daughter, so what do you think..." Her voice trailed off, her words becoming indistinguishable to the onlookers.

As Lucy collapsed, Colin acted swiftly, gently lifting her unconscious form into the waiting ambulance.

Meanwhile, Mandy's hands shook as she dialed Cherise's number, her voice urgent and laden with worry. "Cherise! Something happened to Lulu!"

On the other end of the line, Cherise's voice came through, surprisingly composed yet tinged with fatigue. "I'm aware; I'm currently in the hospital," she responded softly.

Cherise's next words carried a thread of hope. "I…We've identified a compatible liver for Lulu, and they've volunteered to donate some parts of their liver to her."

"Rest assured," Cherise continued, her voice steadying with reassurance, "she'll make a gradual recovery from tonight onwards."

Mandy felt a wave of surprise wash over her as she processed Cherise's unexpected knowledge. She had never disclosed Lucy's condition, her cirrhosis, to Cherise.

The information had been closely guarded, known only to herself, the hospital staff, Colin, and trusted nurses.
