Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 778

Chapter 778 Team Up 

Kareen finished venting her frustrations and returned the two bank cards that Lyra had offered. “No, keep these. I can manage for now. Use that money for your wedding instead. Even if Zac is unconscious, his big day shouldn’t be any less amazing!” 

Kareen climbed into bed, stubbornly turning her back to Damien and Cherise. “Go away, both of you. I’ve agreed to your plan, so don’t bother me unless it’s urgent.” 

Lyra stood frozen, clutching the cards in her hand. “But…” 

“You stay and take care of your comatose fiancé!” Kareen’s voice was cold, yet a hint of warmth peeked through. “Weren’t you the one talking about taking care of him forever? Having second thoughts now? You might as well call off the whole thing.” 

Lyra remained rooted to the spot, unable to speak. 

Cherise sympathetically patted Lyra’s shoulder. “Kareen just means you can stay here and watch over Zac. She won’t kick you out.” 

Lyra finally snapped out of her daze, ecstatic. “I’m going to his room right now!”/ 

Without saying goodbye to Cherise or Damien, she rushed out of the room, excitement propelling her towards Zac’s ward. 

“Love is foolish,” Kareen muttered from the bed. “My brother is practically unconscious, and she’s still determined to marry him. Talk about hopeless!” 

Cherise shook her head. “You just don’t understand their love.” 

Kareen rolled her eyes. “I hope I never will. You’re all a bunch of crazy fools. Leave me out of it!” 

“A business tycoon interfering in someone else’s life for a woman. A renowned doctor willing to sacrifice his career for a man. And my brother? He’s pushing his sister aside to save a woman with two kids from another guy! And now I have another delusional woman as a sister-in-law.” 

“I’m done with all your drama and nonsense!” Kareen closed her eyes. “Leave me alone. I need some peace.” 

Cherise bit her lip, glancing helplessly at Damien. 

Damien chuckled. “Very wise words indeed. Speaking of which, you and Gwenn were quite close, weren’t you?” 

“Yeah,” Kareen mumbled, her lips pursed. 

Unfortunately, the recent fallout between Zachary, Cherise, and Gwenn had strained Kareen’s relationship with Gwenn. 

“Considering your close friendship,” Damien continued, “you should invite her to your brother’s wedding.” 

Kareen looked puzzled and asked, “Are you sure? Given the drama between your girlfriend and her, I doubt she’d want to come. Wouldn’t it be awkward?” 

Damien waved it off. “Nah, just ask her. If she’s not up for it, no big deal.”
