My Blind Husband

Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Truth Unveiled

“I’m not heavy, am I?” Cherise pursed her lips, afraid that she might exacerbate his health. issue with his legs by sitting on his lap.

Touched by her thoughtfulness, he softened his voice. “Not at all.”

“Cherise.”

“Hmmh?”

“Do you know what being husband and wife means?”

“Yes.” She looked at him with innocent, wide eyes. “It means we have to take care of each other, sleep together and have kids.”

Damien was stumped by her innocent tone. Her explanation had another meaning behind. it, but she seemed unaware of it.

After a while, he cleared his throat. “That’s not all. More importantly, it’s trust and honesty. We have to depend on and trust each other.”

She understood what he was implying.

She pressed her lips together in embarrassment. “I don’t want to be your burden, after all.”

“I’ve been burdenless for decades.”

He looked at her as distance and melancholy seeped into his voice. “I’ve been alone for so many years. I’ve longed for someone to be my burden. At least that gives me some responsibility to bear.”

She became even more uncomfortable after being reminded of his tragic past. “Don’t you find me annoying?”

He’s been living a carefree and peaceful life for years. Suddenly, I showed up in his life with my troublesome relatives. Anyone would find it annoying, surely?

This was her reason for hiding the incident with Eriana.

“Sometimes it’s a problem having no other problems.”

She was speechless upon hearing his answer. I don’t understand what these rich people think.

She took a deep breath and spilled the beans about the past few days.

“I’m not afraid of her; I just don’t want to further agitate Grandma. She’s not young anymore, and she’s rigid and superstitious. If she knows about our marriage, I… I’m afraid she might enter the emergency room again. Her health is quite delicate nowadays. She can’t take surprises and ordeals nowadays.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

He smiled at her serious tone as she speculated the possibilities. “Bring me to visit her at the hospital later, okay?”

She jumped from his embrace instantly. “No, no, no! She just regained consciousness a few days ago. I can’t possibly-”

“Perhaps you underestimate your grandmother. She might take a liking to me after a conversation; who knows?” his low voice rang persuasively.

Cherise lowered her head, still not reassured by that.

“We can bring Jacob alone. He’s been my family doctor for years, and he’s one of the top doctors in Mondale.”

After some time, Cherise finally nodded reluctantly. “Alright, then.”

If Grandma can accept Damien, I don’t have to work so hard and tolerate Aunt Eriana’s harassment. It’s been too tiring these few days.

An hour later, Cherise arrived at the hospital with Damien and Jacob.

As she led the way, Jacob nudged Damien resentfully. “You sly fox! No wonder you let me stay the night yesterday. It’s all because you want me to accompany you to meet her family. When you are on your feet again, I’m going to ask you to push me around in a wheelchair for rounds and rounds!”

Damien smiled. “If your legs are broken, I can push you as many rounds as you want.”

Taken off guard by Damien’s offer of kindness, Jacob stared at him with wide eyes before. he continued making his way.

They finally arrived at Mary’s ward around noon. When they got out of the elevator, they ran into Elvis, who was going to buy lunch for her.

Upon seeing Damien, he instantly pulled Cherise aside. “Haven’t I told you not to bring him here? What are you doing?”
