Chapter 557 Let Me Hold You
The man reclining against the headboard had already taken off his jacket. He wore a thin shirt, and the
first two buttons were undone. He was perspiring slightly and appeared strangely captivating.
In that moment, he leaned against the headboard, gazing at Cherise with an enticing yet slightly.
vulnerable expression. “I can’t eat.”
Cherise’s heart fluttered at his appearance. She looked away and coughed softly. “Even if you can’t
eat, you
still have to.”
“Your stomach is upset right now…”
Upon seeing his frail state, she began to feel remorseful.
She had deliberately chosen a Mexican restaurant when he had invited her to dinner.
Despite knowing that he couldn’t handle spicy food, she had ordered various spicy dishes….
In truth, she had intended to provoke him by ordering a table full of spicy food. She thought he would

She didn’t expect him to be foolish and disregard his well-being by diving into the spicy feast!
The more she thought about it, the more remorseful she felt. She shouldn’t have acted out of spite.
The woman sighed. She sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the bowl of stew, and spoon-fed him,
just as she had done when they first met..
The man reclined against the headboard with a slightly emotional gaze. “You’re still so gentle.”
Cherise paused for a moment as she held the bowl.
She took a deep breath and looked up at him in exasperation. I’m a doctor. Of course, I’m gentle.”
Damien chuckled softly. “This… is nice.”
Cherise was moved by his gaze. She wanted to give up and leave him, but she felt guilty for causing
his current condition, so she suppressed her feelings and continued to feed him the stew.
She spoon-fed him one bite at a time, and he ate each mouthful.
The bowl of stew was quickly finished..
After feeding him the stew, Cherise slowly administered the medicine she had just purchased.
“Do you feel better?” she asked softly.
“Much better.”
“Lie down and rest for a while.”
She removed the pillow behind his head and gently pushed him back. “Rest well.”
Having said that, she was about to withdraw her hand, but he firmly grasped it.

The man pulled her into the covers.
His warm body pressed against her chest, causing her heart to race.
She found herself enveloped in a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace.
The man’s strong arms encircled her.
He held her tightly against his chest. “Cherise, let me hold you for a while.”
Cherise opened her mouth, wanting to resist, but ultimately remained silent.
It’s okay….
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe closed her eyes, nestling greedily in his arms.
He was sick now, so she would allow him to hold her for a while.
Just for a while.
She didn’t want anything more from him. She simply wanted to fulfill his emotional needs as a patient.
As she pondered, she let out a long sigh.
She realized she missed being in his embrace as well.
Over the past five years, she would always think of him whenever she had a nightmare.
She remembered how he would hold and comfort her like this if she had a bad dream.
She recalled how he would coax her to sleep so dominantly every time she had a sleepless night.
It’s been five years…
A whole five years.
Others had pursued and advised her in the past five years.
But when it came to love, it was difficult for her to settle after being with such an exceptional man.
After being with a perfect man like Damien, she found it impossible to love anyone else.
Therefore, she had stumbled along and spent the past five years alone.
She was finally reunited with him.
But she was uncertain whether to rekindle their relationship or continue to hold onto past grievances…
