Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Escape the Pain 

“We should pray before 

any group 

activities next time,” Lucy remarked ruefully. 

Cherise had fallen asleep behind Lucy, her head resting on Damien’s chest. Lennon was treating Lucy’s wounds. 

“Be gentle!” Lucy cried. 

Lennon deliberately applied more pressure to her wound with the cotton swab. “I’m going 

to make sure it hurts.” 

“Or you’ll never learn from this!” 

“Pain won’t change me.” 

Lucy rolled her eyes and turned to look out the window. Despite their playful banter, her eyes flashed with steely determination. 

Even though his words were harsh, he was gentler when handling her wounds. 

In the back row of the bus, Rodney pouted and said to Mandy, “I’m in pain…” 

Mandy tried to compose herself before glancing at his wounds. “Do you want me to help. you put some ointment on it?” 

“Yes, of course!” 

Rodney’s eyes widened with excitement as he extended his hands towards her. “Remember to be gentle.” 

Mandy’s lips widened into a wide grin. She patted Jacob on the shoulder, who was engrossed in a Korean drama. 

Jacob took off his earphones. “Doctor, please hand me some treatment for his wounds.” 

“Alright,” he replied. 

Mandy gently spread the powdery substance onto Rodney’s wounds. 

“Ouch!” 

A loud scream echoed through the bus. “Jacob! What did you give Mandy?” 

“Salt.” 

1/3 

Jacob chuckled. “I brought some seasoning with me before the hike in case we had a barbecue on the mountain.” 

He raised his eyebrows at Mandy. “I also have cumin. Do you want some?” 

Mandy glanced at Rodney’s wound innocently and said, “Honey, do you want me to spread some cumin on your wounds?” 

Rodney stared back at her in disbelief. 

The car drove from Sequoia to Adania. 

Mandy’s smile faded as her head began to throb with pain. 

“I…” 

Her face suddenly turned ashen. She clutched Jacob’s arms but couldn’t manage to say a 

word. 

Inside the villa, a man in black opened the door. “I received a signal from her but can not longer detect any voice signals.” 

“She must have removed the chip.” 

The woman in the wheelchair chuckled menacingly. “She’s become more arrogant.” 

“Bring her here, no matter what.” 

“Argh!” 

“It hurts!” 

Mandy clutched her head tightly and growled in pain inside the secret chamber hidden beneath Jacob’s clinic.
