Chapter 49<\/p>\n
Sitting across from each other at the dining table after polishingoff their meal, Morris caught Cherise\u2019s puzzled expression and said. \u201cCherise, you\u2019re curious about what happened last night, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Cherise let out a soft chuckle and nodded.<\/p>\n
With an affectionate look, Morris told her. \u201cNothing much. You bad a drink with a bit of plum wine in it. You were on your best behavior and just played two tunes for everyone. Everyone loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that all?\u201d Cherise had an inkling that a little alcohol might affect her, but she never knew exactly how. Every time she woke up and asked, people would tell her everything was fine, so she didn\u2019t press the issue.<\/p>\n
She was skeptical, but it was Morris talking. He had no reason to deceive her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYep, you can ask Xenia and the others,\u201d Morris said with a confident look. He didn\u2019t want to embarrass Cherise. He believed such a wonderful person like her should remember only the good things.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you bring me back rere?\u201d Cherise asked, her brow furrowing slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYep, I happened to be passing by Ebb & Flow Morris replied earnestly. Seeing Cherise\u2019s pensive look, Marris added, \u201cI didn\u2019t have the code to your place, so I brought you to mine. That\u2019s how you ended up here when you woke up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at Morris, pursed her lips, and remained silent. Then, she let out a light laugh, thinking to herself, as the wealthiest man in Clusia, Morris could have any beauty he wanted with just a snap of his fingers.<\/p>\n
Moreover, deep down, she trusted Morris. He wasn\u2019t the type to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state,<\/p>\n
Morris hadn\u2019t expected two milliliters of plum-wine to affect Cherise so much. Luckily, Truman had given him a heads\u2013up just in time.<\/p>\n
He thought to himself. If I hadn\u2019t been there, what would have happened? I can\u2019t let her touch alcohol again. How can Cherise, with her exceptional medical skills and ability to discern various drugs, be so oblivious when it comes to food and drink?<\/p>\n
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, and Leo entered, his eyes widening as he looked at Morris and Cherise sitting opposite each other.<\/p>\n
Leo thought, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m seeing Mr. Chivers in an apron. Is he cooking? This is a once\u2013in\u2013a\u2013lifetime sight. If the socialites in Betrico saw this, they\u2019d be heartbroken and fighting over him. Mr. Chivers is brilliant\u2013winning someone\u2019s heart starts with winning their stomach<\/p>\n
Seeing Leo standing there silently, Morris frowned slightly. \u201cIf you have something to say, spit it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh! Leo snapped out of it. \u201cMr. Chivers. Ms. Leach, you\u2019re awake. Here\u2019s your phone,\u201d he said, handing Cherise her phone. Cherise nodded slightly to Leo. \u201cThank you,<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re welcome. Ms. Leach, Leo replied with a smile. Then he continued, \u201cMs. Leach, you\u2019re my idol. Not only are you a doctor, but you also play so many instruments so well. I\u2019m a huge fan\u201c\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise was taken aback and asked Leo, \u201cI played a lot of instruments last night? I thought it was just two tunes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo froze, catching Morris\u2019s glare. His mind raced as he responded. \u201cYes, just two tunes, with several instruments played, and then you fell asleep. Mr. Chivers was worried about your safety at Ebb & Flow, with many admirers around, so he brought you back.\u201d<\/p>\n
After saying this, he glanced at Morris again and saw that his glare had subsided, so he let out a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Wu, Deu \u201c<\/p>\n

Cherise understood and thought to herself. \u2018Well, as long as nothing happened. Just two tunes; it doesn\u2019t matter how many instruments I played.<\/p>\n
Feeling at case, she got up and looked at Morris. \u201cThank you for e risotto and for looking after me last night. I won\u2019t keep you any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris watched as Cherise got up to leave. Feeling like he was about to lose a treasure, he wanted to ask her to stay but was unsure of how to say it.<\/p>\n
As Cherise was almost at the door, he quickly said, \u201cCherise, my randmother has been taking the medicine you prescribed, and she seems almost better, but I\u2019d still like to trouble you to check on her again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Cherise turned around and replied, \u201cYes, a follow\u2013up visit is needed. Let\u2019s tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
She had made some pills yesterday, intending for Morris to give them to Phoebe, but now she planned to bring them directly to her tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Morris felt relieved upon hearing this. He gave Cherise a genuine smile and said, \u201cAlright, let\u2019s make it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-74","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/74","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=74"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
