My Blind Husband novel (Damien and Cherie) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Damien Felt Powerless

Cherise sprawled over the table and pried. “What kind of bet was it?”

“A.. heartbreaking one.”

Lennon closed his eyes, and the memories from twelve years ago flooded back to him.

A young boy stood on the third-floor balcony, grinning at him. “Do you think that after I jump from here, no one from the Lenoir family will come to check on me?”

Troubled by his adoption by the Lenoir family, Lennon shook his head. “No way.”

“Us adopted kids get ignored. You’re their biological child; they can’t be indifferent to your safety.”

That year, Lennon was determined that once he found his real family, he would find love and warmth. He firmly believed that all family members cared for one another.

“Let’s bet.”

The fourteen-year-old boy turned to Lennon, the wind lifting his white shirt, making him look lonely and frail.

“What are we betting on?”

“If I jump and get injured, and within half a month, no one from the Lenoir family comes to see me, then you can stop searching for your real family and stay back in Europe with me.”

Lennon nodded. “Alright.”

Later, Damien actually took the plunge. Lennon frantically went out of his way to inform the Lenoir family.

The outcome? One day had passed, then two, and even a week turned into two, but the Lenoir family remained indifferent to Damien’s injury.

Those distant memories made Lennon sigh softly. “Be good to Damien; he’s been through a lot.”

After his words met silence, Lennon turned to find Cherise asleep on the table.

Simultaneously, he heard a car stopping downstairs. Looking down from the balcony, he spotted. a figure in black. A man whistled and approached him, saying, “I never thought that in my lifetime, I’d get to witness you driving.”

Damien gave him a disdainful look. “Where is she?”
