Chapter 388<\/p>\n
Once Nolan and Torin left. Cherise and Morris went inside the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, you\u2019re doing great. Hannia is part of the Hawkins family. They should handle their family matters themselves,\u201d Morris said, putting an arm around Cherise\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and smiled at him. \u201cYeah, once I sort things out there\u2019s no need to make things harder for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris noticed she looked very tired and drowsy, so he didn\u2019t push her to share more of her thoughts. He picked her up easily and walked straight to the bedroom.<\/p>\n
After a quick wash, Cherise practically fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, sleeping soundly until morning. Clearly. yesterday\u2019s experiment was quite physically demanding<\/p>\n
Today, Morris didn\u2019t go to work. He lay on his side on the bed, waiting for Cherise to wake up. \u201cAwake? Why don\u2019t you sleep a bit more? There\u2019s nothing much going on today, so I\u2019ll stay home with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled, her sleepy eyes fixed on him, as her hands tightly encircled his sturdy waist. \u201cMr. Chivers, you know how a pretty face can mess with the daily grind, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris couldn\u2019t help but laugh, \u201cIf it\u2019s you distracting me, I\u2019m perfectly fine with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
and take me with you? Today, your wish came \u201cGet up now. Didn\u2019t you say yesterday that you wanted to pack me up accompany you to work, Cherise said, giving his chin a teasing peck.<\/p>\n
irut<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled and gave her a peck on the lips. \u201cNo rush. I just wanted to ask your opinion on something. I noticed you looked a bit under the weather yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, her eyes slowly closing. \u201cYes. When the report came out yesterday, I was a bit taken aback, even though I expected it. I was hoping it had nothing to do with the Muller family, so maybe I wouldn\u2019t have to face Mr. Muller.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust trust that everything happens for the best,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cYeah, I do believe Mr. Muller had his reasons, but mostly, I can\u2019t help but blame him. There were indeed traces of cursed worms found in his blood, but it\u2019s been so long and there\u2019s barely any left.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess he didn\u2019t have a choice back then, but I can\u2019t jump to conclusions. I need to ask him personally. Jason and his dad were clean, with just a hint of anise. Fortunately, it wasn\u2019t enough to affect them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Morris furrowed his brows. \u201cCan those cursed worms really completely control someone\u2019s mind? Or is it that someone with strong willpower can resist them? Like me, for example?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise patted his chest. \u201cYou? I\u2019m not sure. There are records of people with strong willpower getting through it unscathed. I promise you\u2019ll be safe with me, and anyone I care about won\u2019t have to face that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris gently lifted her face, gazing into her eyes. \u201cCherise, trust me. I\u2019m sure that if I were cursed my willpower could overcome anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris said this to reassure Cherise and make her feel safe. And early, it worked, as Cherise gave a knowing smile. \u201cSo, what are your thoughts on reuniting with the Muller family Morris asked, his tone cautious.<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s gaze turned icy. \u201cI never let things go. We need to make this relationship official or those in the shadows might win. With that, she gave a cold smirk.<\/p>\n

It was at the entrance of the operating room. \u201cRita, didn\u2019t you say everything was taken care of? Why does Garrick still need an amputation?\u201d asked Gina.<\/p>\n
Gina stood anxiously and spoke to Rita, who was sitting elegantly on the bench, \u201cHow will Garrick get around in the future, and what will people think of our family?\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia didn\u2019t know what was going on, but she felt it was best not to ask anything for now.<\/p>\n
Rita looked up at Gina. \u201cYou\u2019re just his daughter\u2013in\u2013law. I am his sister by blood. I don\u2019t want anything to happen to him more than anyone else.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at this point, there\u2019s no choice. By amputating his foot, at least Garrick can still live.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the first time. Rita used such a stern tone, and both Gina and Yulia seemed a bit intimidated.<\/p>\n
Everyone became silent, too afraid to make a sound, and sat quietly on the bench, waiting for Garrick\u2019s surgery to finish.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, instead of the surgery light turning off, Conon rushed in again.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Muller, something terrible has happened!\u201d Conon shouted urgently.<\/p>\n
Gina, recognizing Conon, asked anxiously, \u201cConon, what\u2019s wrong) Has something else happened to the Hawkins family!\u201d Rita also looked up with concern.<\/p>\n
Conon nodded. \u201cYes, it\u2019s Mrs. Hawkins. She\u2019s been forcibly taken away by Mr. Graves\u2019s people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? She left again?\u201d Gina exclaimed, glancing at Rita.<\/p>\n
Rita remained expressionless. \u201cIf they want to take her, let them. They\u2019re engaged anyway, and they\u2019ll get married sooner or<\/p>\n
later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gina showed no reaction, but inside she was unhappy. \u201cYou can use her and then cast her aside without a second thought, but that\u2019s not my way. I only have this one daughter left now,\u201d<\/p>\n
However, despite her displeasure, there was nothing she could do. An hour later, the surgery light finally turned off.<\/p>\n
The operating room doors opened and a nurse pushed out Garrick\u2019s bed. The anesthesia hadn\u2019t worn off yet, and his eyes. were tightly closed.<\/p>\n
Looking at the person lying on the hospital bed and at the leg that was now significantly shorter and wrapped in white gauze, Rita was filled with hatred toward Cherise.<\/p>\n
