Chapter 1009 Cherise's Dreams
- "Sweetheart, even though you can't see anything, allow me to paint the scene around us with words," Cherise began softly, leaning into Damien's embrace. "We're standing on a bridge overlooking a serene river. The clear water below flows gently, originating from a mountain stream." She continued, her voice earnest. "There are fish in that river... There's trout, whitefish..."
- Cherise was always happy and joyful in her dreams, even when Damien was blind. Yet upon waking, Cherise found half her pillow soaked with tears. The laughter and delight of her dreams stood in stark contrast to the emptiness that enveloped her upon awakening.
- Since Sebastian had emerged, there was a rift between her and Damien. Damien had distanced himself from Cherise and never shared a bed with her. The stark contrast between the warmth of her dreams and the chilly reality made Cherise feel like her heart was being constricted, causing considerable discomfort.
