Chapter 532<\/p>\n
Holding the kraft paper bag, he smiled triumphantly and quickly went to the monitoring room of Elysium Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Upon discovering that no one was on duty, she sat down in front of the surveillance monitor and completed the task assigned by Cherise.<\/p>\n
Crow was really capable and fast.<\/p>\n
In less than half an hour, he extracted the video from two years ago featuring Hank and saved it onto the USB drive he had brought with him.<\/p>\n
Afterward, he left without a trace.<\/p>\n
As soon as he left, Cherise, who was working with him, turned the infrared alarm signals in the archives room on the fourth floor back on.<\/p>\n
Inside the car at the entrance of Elysium Medical Center, Crow had changed back into his clothes and dialed Cherise\u2019s number. \u201cHello, Boss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Did you get it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019ll leave the stuff in the usual spot. Go grab it when you have time. I\u2019ll stop bothering you now. I need to get some sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise replied to him with an \u201cOkay\u201d before ending the call. She tapped her fingers lightly on the desk, thinking about the<\/p>\n
recent events.<\/p>\n
Recently, there had been quite a few things happening, some trivial, some seemingly unrelated to her, yet somehow deeply connected to her.<\/p>\n
Morris came home late tonight. Seeing the light still on upstairs, he washed his hands, took off his suit jacket, and walked upstairs.<\/p>\n
Just as he was halfway up the stairs, Cherise came down, wearing a cartoon\u2013printed short\u2013sleeved nightdress.<\/p>\n
When he saw her, Morris\u2019s fatigue from the day vanished. He asked with a bright smile, \u201cYou haven\u2019t slept yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled back at him. \u201cYeah, I just finished dealing with some things. I came down to see if you were back home. There you are. Come on. Let\u2019s go grab some late\u2013night snacks in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, she walked down two steps and took Morris\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
Morris followed her towards the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook. I made this milkshake. I learned how to make one more dessert from a cooking app. It\u2019s quite simple. I\u2019ve learned something new. Give it a try!\u201d<\/p>\n
As she finished speaking, she reached out to open the still\u2013warm lid.<\/p>\n
Morris immediately stopped her. \u201cI\u2019ll do it. It\u2019s hot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled and said in a somewhat coquettish tone, \u201cI\u2019m not that delicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you are in my eyes.\u201d As Morris spoke, he took the soup pot out of the pot.<\/p>\n
In the dining room, they sat next to each other. Morris scooped the first spoonful and fed Cherise before he tried it.<\/p>\n
He nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s very tasty. That\u2019s the food from you. It tastes sweet and smooth but not greasy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise couldn\u2019t help but laugh. \u201cAre you complimenting me without bias?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m being honest. Of course, your cooking is not as good as mine though,\u201d Morris said seriously.<\/p>\n
Cherise casually put her hand on Morris\u2019s shoulder. They looked very much like a couple already.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re quite confident. Well, I wouldn\u2019t dare to compare with a chef.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s smile didn\u2019t fade. After finishing the rest of the dessert, he put down the spoon and bowl, looked into Cherise\u2019s eyes, and asked, \u201cCherise, the wedding is only a few days away. Are you nervous?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise shook her head and then nodded. \u201cI can\u2019t describe how I feel. But I look forward to it. What about you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded. \u201cI\u2019m very nervous. I\u2019m afraid you won\u2019t be satisfied with the wedding I\u2019ve prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise felt both amused and distressed as she glanced at him. She knew that Morris had been busy recently.<\/p>\n
He needed to arrange their wedding and handled matters concerning the Dark Web Division, Chivers Group, and Syphonea Group\u2019s business strategy in Clusia.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be dissatisfied. My requirement is very simple. As long as the groom is you, I will be satisfied,\u201d she said as she stroked. him, who had recently become thinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so lucky to be your man. You\u2019re so easy to please,\u201d Morris said dotingly, holding Cherise\u2019s hand against her face.<\/p>\n
With that said, they smiled at each other. \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next day, Cherise went to GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n
The file Crow brought back from the mission last night was in Cherise\u2019s lounge on the underground second floor of GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n
Crow came straight here to rest after returning last night.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss, you came. It was already 3:00 am when I got back here last night. I\u2019m still sleepy now. It\u2019s in the lounge. Go check it yourself,\u201d Crow said when he saw her.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at him and responded with an \u201cOkay\u201d before walking over to a small table in the lounge.<\/p>\n
A square kraft paper bag and a small USB flash drive was on the small table.<\/p>\n
Cherise picked up the kraft paper bag, sat down on a stool by the table, opened it, and took out a medical record book that was several pages thick.<\/p>\n
The patient\u2019s name on the front page was Hank Reese, aged 12, indicating the record was from two years ago.<\/p>\n
Cherise paused after looking at the cover and then opened the record book.<\/p>\n
It read: the patient had a high fever of 104.18 F, experienced fainting, and the symptoms had persisted for two days. Taking antipyretic medication was ineffective, so he came to seek medical treatment. The examination showed that it might cause acute brain injury.<\/p>\n
Cherise paused again at these words.<\/p>\n
The call was answered quickly. \u201cHello, Cherise? What\u2019s up? Do you miss me? I\u2019m so bored at home. I can\u2019t even go out for some fresh air.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled upon hearing this. \u201cI\u2019ll go over there to find you later. But, before I come, can you do me a favor?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be dissatisfied. My requirement is very simple. As long as the groom is you, I will be satisfied,\u201d she said as she stroked him, who had recently become thinner.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so lucky to be your man. You\u2019re so easy to please,\u201d Morris said dotingly, holding Cherise\u2019s hand against her face.<\/p>\n
With that said, they smiled at each other. \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day, Cherise went to GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n

Cherise paused after looking at the cover and then opened the record book.<\/p>\n
It read: the patient had a high fever of 104.18\u00b0F, experienced fainting, and the symptoms had persisted for two days. Taking antipyretic medication was ineffective, so he came to seek medical treatment. The examination showed that it might cause acute brain injury.<\/p>\n
Cherise paused again at these words.<\/p>\n
Slightly frowning, she tapped on the table constantly with her fingers as if she were trying to clear her mind<\/p>\n
As she continued to flip through the pages, a particular sentence caught Cherise\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
With some confusion, she picked up the USB drive and walked to the computer.<\/p>\n
Soon, the surveillance video of Hank\u2019s medical visit that day appeared on the computer screen<\/p>\n
The video frames flickered one by one, with Cherise constantly pausing, starting, pausing, and starting again<\/p>\n
At the most revealing scene, she paused and zoomed in, meticulously examining every movement, posture, and subde detail of Hank in the video.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, her mind kept replaying every gesture of Hank in real life\u2013during class, after class, while speaking, and walking.<\/p>\n
After an hour, with heavy doubts, Cherise infiltrated the school where Hank had previously attended using the most advanced techniques to conceal her tracks. She meticulously examined each of his grades and the handwriting on every assignment.<\/p>\n
Soon, Cherise raised her eyebrows with satisfaction and turned off the computer.<\/p>\n
Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and made a call.<\/p>\n
The call was answered quickly. \u201cHello, Cherise? What\u2019s up? Do you miss me? I\u2019m so bored at home. I can\u2019t even go out for some fresh air.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandma told me to be careful of wound infection just as you\u2019ve instructed. I wouldn\u2019t dare run around\u201d Cherise smiled upon hearing this. \u201cI\u2019ll go over there to find you later. But, before I come, can you do me a favor?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-555","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/555","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=555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
