Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 You Can’t Hold Me, But I Can Hold You! 

Finally… 

She rushed into his arms. 

Damien embraced her tightly. “Don’t be afraid.” 

“Damien!” 

Cherise’s tears wouldn’t stop. Her voice was filled with sobs. 

“Don’t cry.” 

His voice was hoarse from disuse. Guilt and regret consumed him for what she had endured. “I can no longer hold you.” 

Damien buckled and fell onto his knees. 

Cherise knew the sedatives and sleeping pills were to blame! 

Anger and worry overwhelmed her. She couldn’t believe they had done this to him! 

Just because he wasn’t physically harmed didn’t mean the drugs wouldn’t affect him mentally! 

She took a deep breath and tried to help him up. “It’s okay, my love.” 

“You can’t hold me, but I can hold you!” 

“I’m strong enough! Trust me!” 

She supported his body with hers, ensuring that he leaned on her. 

“Dummy.” 

Damien smiled bitterly. But his body finally gave out, and he slumped onto the floor. 

Cherise wasn’t any better. 

She hadn’t fully recovered from getting sick at the Shaw’s village, and now, after this immense 

shock. 

Getting slapped by Sage and arrested by the police completely drained her. 

All she could do right now was cling to Damien’s arm. 

But she couldn’t support him at all. 

Holding onto each other, they knelt on the floor. 

1/3 

Cherise winced when her knees hit the floor. She had used up every last bit of strength she had 

left. 

Her vision went dark, and she collapsed onto Damien. 

She could finally relax now that she saw he was fine. 

“Dummy.” 

Damien held her small figure tightly in his arms and finally succumbed to sleep. 

“Miss Lenoir, Mr. and Mrs. Lenoir have both fainted.” 

Mr. Hampson rushed over to prevent them from falling onto the floor. 

“What do you mean, Mrs. Lenoir?” 

Sage gave him an ice-cold glare, “I will be the future Mrs. Lenoir!” 

“Help up my husband-to-be and remove that woman from him. Officers, take her away 

The guards hurried over. 

Mr. Hampson frowned at Sage but said nothing. 

“Miss Caldwell.” 

The guards looked up at Sage and said. “Uh…” 

“Mr. Lenoir is holding Mrs. Lenoir too tightly. We can’t separate them.” 

Sage raised an eyebrow and looked down at both of them… 

Damien was slumped over and unconscious, but his arms were still tightly wrapped around Cherise’s waist. 

Sage glared at his arms. A surge of hatred consumed her.
