Chapter 160 Damien Being Unusually Accommodating
“Maybe you can persuade him to give it a shot. Who knows, it might work?” Cherise. nodded enthusiastically. “Definitely!”
“Do you know where the holistic medicine doctor is located? I can take my husband to see. him sometime.”
“It’s up
in the mountains near our hometown, Jan furrowed his brows, thinking for at
moment.
“But Cherry, I’d suggest you plan a little getaway with your husband, and during the trip, you can visit the old holistic medicine doctor.”
Cherise furrowed her brows. “Why’s that?”
Ian began gently persuading her. “Firstly, that old holistic medicine doctor has some, family connections with me. Your husband hasn’t been the most welcoming toward me, so if he figures out you took him there and finds the connection, he might jump to conclusions.”
Cherise paused, then nodded. “I see. Anything else?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Secondly…” Ian thought for a moment. “Your husband probably wants his eyes to recover even more than you do, but holistic medicine is a bit of a long shot. If you don’t tell him beforehand, he won’t get his hopes up, and he won’t be let down if it doesn’t work, right?”
Cherise pressed her lips and contemplated. “That makes sense.”
She took a deep breath and looked at Ian with gratitude. “Thank you. He should have. some free time coming up.”
“I’ll arrange a visit to our hometown soon under the pretense of visiting my grandma and taking a little break, and we can see the doctor then.”
With the plan in place, that evening after dinner, Cherise deliberately stuck close to Damien.
“Honey, it’s been a while since we visited my grandma.”
She rested her head on Damien’s lap, her eyes shining as she gazed at him.
Damien
gave a faint smile and ruffled her hair. Didn’t we talk to her on the phone just at few days ago? She mentioned she’s back home after being discharged from the hospital.”
“But a phone call isn’t the same as seeing her in person.” Cherise pouted.

“Darling, we’ve just closed a major deal, and the whole team is taking a break. You should unwind, too.”
“I’ll take you to the countryside to visit my grandma, and we can have some relaxation time by catching fish with our bare hands and feeding them to my cat. How does that sound?”
Damien chuckled. “Oh? You’re that skilled, catching fish barehanded?”
“Obviously!” Cherise said with a sense of pride, raising her head high. “Catching fish with bare hands, like fishing, requires a calm and focused mind.”
“Those folks in my hometown couldn’t match my skills!”
“I used to catch so many fish when I was a kid. We’d fry the big ones for my aunt and take the small ones home to feed Plumkin.”
“Plumkin is the cat I raised in the countryside! I found her when she was just a kitten!”
“Now, she’s aged and probably turned into a Grumpkin…”
As a country girl at heart, Cherise couldn’t resist sharing her stories about rural life.
She recounted every detail, from fishing with equipment to hands-on fish-catching. And from her cat, Plumkin, to Jack, the neighbor, giving birth to chubby twins.
Even Mr. Hampson, standing nearby, grew tired and disinterested. He didn’t know these country folks and didn’t care about their stories. Who would bother listening to these mundane tales?
But Damien listened attentively and quietly as Cherise let loose her stream of stories. Occasionally, he’d pose a question.
Like, “So, did Vivian finally get married?”
Or, “Can your uncle’s cats, Sky and Tay, climb trees?”
