Chapter 494 Gut Feeling

Charisa was completely devoted to Cherise in every action she took. She was even willing to changeher name to accommodate Cherise’s desire to keep hers. She genuinely cared for her like a mother.

“As long as she treats you well.” Damien smiled, playfully tousling her hair. “Let’s make plans to spendmore quality time with her, okay?”

Cherise nodded. She had something to say, but she was struck by the memory of Charisa’s earliermention of death. Coupled with Damien’s advice about spending more time with Charisa, anunexplainable unease crept over her.

Glancing outside, she bit her lip before saying, “Hey honey, could you replace out if she’s actually doingokay physically?”

She felt something was off about Charisa’s words today.

Furrowing his brow,

mien glanced at her, then settled into the driver’s seat, softly asking, “Why do you suddenly want tolook into this?”

“Maybe it’s just a gut feeling.” Cherise closed her eyes, her instincts nudging her that Charisa washiding something. If it was something else, it would be manageable, but if it was related to her health,Cherise wasn’t sure if she could handle it. Just the thought of it made her heart clench.

“If you genuinely want to know ask her directly.” Damien focused on the road. “Charisa is the head ofthe Miles Family, and her health directly affects their future.”

“Even if I check, I won’t get the real information. Details like that are usually strictly confidential.”Glancing at Cherise, he continued, “But you’re different. You’re her daughter. If you ask her in person,maybe she’ll open up.”

Cherise shook her head. “But I asked her today, and she didn’t give a clear answer.”

“Then that’s your only answer.” Damien sighed. “Apart from what she’s willing to share, we won’t

get more.”

Cherise was restless the entire drive back from Clover Gardens. An inexplicable unease crept over herbody, freezing her in place as if foreshadowing a terrible scenario.

This restlessness felt similar to when she left the Shaw village, only to replace out later that Elvis had beenarrested.

Once back at Lenoir Manor, she called Zachary to get Charisa’s contact details. Now that she had trulyaccepted Charisa as her mother, she felt she should have her number. Relaying messages throughZachary was inconvenient. She wanted to personally assure Charisa of her well-being.

“Cherry, Aunt Charisa is in a meeting.

Zachary hesitated. “I’ll pass your contact information to Aunt Charisa. Once the meeting’s done, she’llreach out to you directly. Wait for her message, alright?”

Fidgeting restlessly, Cherise was about to respond when she heard a sudden commotion on the otherend of the call.

“Okay, Cherry, I’ve got something urgent to attend to. I’ll talk to you later.” Before Cherise could reply,Zachary abruptly ended the call.

Listening to the dial tone, Cherise furrowed her brow deeply. She sensed that Zachary was hidingsomething from her. Considering Charisa’s repeated references to death’ today and Damien’s assertionthat only Charisa herself would disclose her health status if she wanted to, Cherise had a dreadfulpremonition.
