\u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d Morris said, opening the door for Cherise.<\/p>\n
Morris and Cherise sat in the back of the Maybach as Leo drove cruising through the morning. As they got comfortable, Moms offered Chenise a bottle of milk<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, have some milk,\u201d he suggested kindly.<\/p>\n
Cherise, her tone gentle, looked at him and said. Tve already eaten, but thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re still growing Milk will give you an extra boost,\u201d Morris pressed, already unscrewing the cap and slipping in a straw.<\/p>\n
Feeling a bit parched from her light breakfast of toast Cherise took the bottle with a \u201cThank you,\u201d and sipped the warm. satisfying milk.<\/p>\n
Morris let out a soft laugh, clearly tickled by her manners<\/p>\n
Up front. Leo looked somewhat uncomfortable, as if he felt out of sync with the situation.<\/p>\n
Upon reaching Azure Peak after a thirty\u2013minute drive, Cherise took in the expansive view of the rolling hills and the city\u2019s distinctive skyline.<\/p>\n
Familiar with the area as the residence of Trent, Liam, and Marion, she felt a sense of recognition.<\/p>\n
As they pulled up to the Chivers estate. Morris alighted and opened Cherise\u2019s door<\/p>\n
Emerging from the car, she surveyed the imposing mansion, a symbol of their affluence and legacy. Cherise was privately awestruck, yet she maintained a composed and impassive facade<\/p>\n
The staff, led by butler Greg. were taken aback when they saw Morris arrive with Cherise, a vision of loveliness at his side. These were the Chivers old\u2013timers, and they\u2019d never witnessed their young master with such a captivating companion. It was a moment of both astonishment and tacit approval.<\/p>\n
Shielding Cherise from the staff\u2019s astonished looks. Morris stepped in front of her. \u201cGreg, get everyone back to their tasks. Cherise and I are heading to see Grandma.\u201d Morris requested.<\/p>\n
Greg raised his voice to address the staff. \u201cOkay, team, back to your stations.\u201d Then, turning to Morris and Cherise, he said respectfully, \u201cMr. Chivers, Miss, this way, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris guided Cherise to proceed ahead. positioning himself close by, almost as a protective shield.<\/p>\n
As they made their way down the hall towards Phoebe\u2019s room, the air was rich with the scent of medicinal herbs\u2013all heart- healthy plants<\/p>\n
Lost in contemplation, Cherise navigated the corridor and found herself in front of Phoebe\u2019s room<\/p>\n
Ruth, noticing the visitors through the open door, stepped out to greet them. \u201cMr. Chivers, what brings you by?\u201d she asked, her voice respectful as she noticed Cherise. \u201cAnd who\u2019s this with you?*<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t wait for Morris to answer. I\u2019m here to see Mrs. Chivers. Let\u2019s head in,\u201d she told Ruth, before making her way into the house<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t she a bit young for this. Mr. Chivers? Is she really up to it? Ruth inquired, skepticism lacing her voice as she trailed Morris, who was following Cherise<\/p>\n
Inside, Nick was instructing the nursing staff on the IV change for Phoebe. His eyes showed a flicker of anxiety when Morris<\/p>\n

entered.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Chivers, you\u2019re here.\u201d Nick greeted, a bit more cautiously than usual because of their previous encounter.<\/p>\n
Morris acknowledged him with a nod. \u201cThis is the doctor I\u2019ve brought in. I want you to work with her,\u201d he said, indicating Cherise.<\/p>\n
Nick was taken aback by Cherise\u2019s youth. \u201cSo young a doctor. I\u2019ll do my utmost to cooperate,\u201d he assured, indicating that he was a fair\u2013minded physician who didn\u2019t let first impressions dictate his opinion.<\/p>\n
Morris addressed Cherise with a grateful look. \u201cI\u2019m entrusting my grandmother to you,\u201d he said, expressing his trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait a minute! Who\u2019s this trying to deceive the Chiverses?\u201d Harold, a man bearing a striking resemblance to Morris, stormed into the room, his flushed face betraying his anger.<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s annoyance was clear as his brow furrowed. \u201cWhat brings you here?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m your father\u20131 can show up whenever I want. And if it weren\u2019t for me, my mother would be in a tough spot,\u201d Harold replied sharply.<\/p>\n
As Harold approached Cherise, his eyes betrayed a moment of surprise at her presence before his stern expression reasserted itself. \u201cYoung lady, appearances won\u2019t shield you from scrutiny,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
Morris stepped in to intervene, instructing Leo to empty the room and positioning himself between Cherise and Harold.<\/p>\n
\u201cHarold, that\u2019s enough, Morris said firmly, his tone a clear warning. 1 vouch for her. I won\u2019t inquire who informed you, but you must leave immediately. Or face the consequences.<\/p>\n
The atmosphere in the room crackled with tension, Morris\u2019s authority casting a shadow even over his father, Harold found himself at a loss for words under Morris\u2019s stern regard.<\/p>\n
Cherise, standing behind Morris, looked at his protective stance a whirlwind of emotions in her eyes\u2013concern, empathy, ar perhaps something more.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, only Cherise, Nick, and a nurse remained as Morris had insisted, with Leo overseeing the departure of the others from the room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-54","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
