Chapter 500 Where Is She
“I… I mean, Mom is sick, she’s very, very ill..
“I don’t know what to do.”
The doctors… they say there’s nothing they can do…..
“They say she doesn’t have much time left….
“What should I do, Dad?”
Tears streamed down Cherise’s face. “I know you and Mom are divorced. I know you might not want to
deal with Mom’s situation, but…
“Where are you?”
From the other end, Beckham’s voice trembled in an unusual wavering “Send me your location.”
“I am on my way,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCherise found herself unable to articulate where she was, choking on her words.
Hearing the entire conversation, Zachary grabbed the phone.
Holding the device, Zachary let out a deep sigh. “Mr. Beckham, it’s Zachary,”
“We’re at the General Hospital of the East.”
Once the call ended, he sighed again, lifting Cherise from the ground and helping her to a bench.
“You’re making it difficult for Aunt Charisa.”
Crouching down to meet her eyes, he continued, “Not only did Aunt Charisa not want you to know
about her illness, she also didn’t want Mr. Beckham to know either.”
“You might not be aware, but Aunt Charisa originally married my uncle… for Mr. Beckham’s sake”
Cherise stared, shock evident in her eyes, as she met Zachary’s gaze.
“Don’t be surprised, it’s true.
Taking her hand, he continued, “There’s so much we’ve kept from you because it’s too painful to
bear”
“Aunt Charisa didn’t leave Mr. Beckham because their love faded.”
“She felt unworthy of him, so she willingly left him, married my uncle, and even took over as the head of
the Miles family, all while paving the way for Mr. Beckham.”

“All these years, the Tanner family’s prosperity owes a lot to her.”
“She knew Mr. Beckham never truly forgot about her.”
“So, she didn’t want him to find out about her condition.”
“Do you understand?”
Beckham arrived at the hospital just ten minutes after Cherise’s tearful phone call.
Seeing his frantic expression, she could almost imagine the desperation that had driven him to get
there so quickly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt had taken her over an hour by taxi to reach the hospital.
Yet, he had managed it in just ten minutes.
“Where is she?”
Worry and sorrow etched across his usually solemn face.
“ICU.”
He looked paler than a ghost. Cherise hesitated, her lips quivering, “She’s still in the ICU; she just
stabilized.
When he had called earlier, Cherise had just found out about Charisa’s condition, leading to her
emotional breakdown and disclosure..
But now, with him standing in front of her, her face ashen, she felt as if she might have made a mistake.
Zachary was right.
Her mother, having hidden her condition even from her, would not have wanted him to find out.
She had always made sacrifices for him, even her departure after their divorce, all for his well- being.
She surely wouldn’t want him to witness her vulnerability and burden him with that guilt.
However, it was too late for regrets. Taking a deep breath, Cherise reached out, holding Beckham’s
hand. “Dad.”
