Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1220 Feeding the Doctors

Lucy and Cherise were sapped of strength and starved. The grilled cheese sandwiches in the lounge were barely enough to satisfy the black hole within their stomachs.

With the door open, Damien watched his tiny wife completely absorbed in eating the grilled cheese sandwich with knitted brows.

He stalked closer and promptly plucked the sandwich out from Cherise's hand. "This is not nutritious."

Cherise, who was enjoying her meal, looked up in annoyance. "Who cares if it's not nutritious? I'm hun... honey?"

Her initial anger turned to shock and then to sheer joy.

She held out her arms, wrapping them around Damien's neck, and jumped onto him as he held her. "You're back! I missed you terribly!"

He'd been at sea for over half a month. Since they got back together, they had never been separated for this long.

The signal at sea was spotty at best, making it a challenge for her to talk to him at her convenience. All her frustrated yearning exploded all at once. Ignoring the presence of Lucy and Colin nearby, she threw herself into Damien's arms, caressing his face and showering him with kisses.

"Honey, you've tanned and lost weight."

After over half a month apart, her husband had become quite sun-kissed from his time at sea and looked much thinner. Even so, the slender, bronzed Damien

looked all the more ruggedly appealing.

Damien fondly messed up Cherise's hair. "Enough grilled cheese sandwiches. Honey, let's go get some real food."

"Okay!" Forgetting her fatigue, she leaped down his body, snagged her coat, and dragged Damien out the door. "I want fish!"

"Sure, let's get fish..."

Recently, after returning from

tussling with the sea breeze for over two weeks, Colin helplessly watched his brother and brother's interaction before shifting to Lucy with an

awkward smile. "Do you want fish too?"

Lucy smiled, grabbing another box of grilled cheese sandwiches from below the

table. "Want to eat some grilled cheese sandwiches with me?"

The man, still standing at the door, hesitated for a moment, then laughed. "Sure, no point being a third wheel."

Damien and Cherise had always

shared a deep love, and after having been apart for so long, they surelynoveldrama

had many things to talk about. As

his brother, Colin knew better than to intrude on his homecoming.

"So, did you enjoy your time at sea with your brother?" Lucy asked with a polite smile while taking out the sandwiches.

Colin was startled, then slowly smiled. "It wasn't too bad. I got up close and personal with how amazing life is. How extraordinary nature is."

Lucy smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. "Life is astonishing indeed."

"You doctors who grant patients another shot at life are just as exceptional." Colin took a deep breath, studying her intently. "I thank you."

Lucy shifted her shoulders, looking down at her grilled cheese

sandwich. "No need to thank me. It's simply what we should do. Cherry's Maeve's sister-in-law, and saving her life is the appropriate choice. Plus, I've received lots of help from the Lenoir family over the yea so it's only natural for me to offer my

assistance when I can."

"However..." Lucy knitted her eyebrows slightly. "The future will still be a trial for

you."

At the grilled fish restaurant, Cherise rubbed her bloated belly while casting a wretched glance towards Damien. "I think I just gained an extra two pounds."

"It's good to gain a little weight." Damien lifted his brow, a sardonic smile on his lips. "You're too thin. If you stay this way, I don't know when we'll have our third child."

Cherise pouted, fixing him with an intense stare. "You keep talking about having a third child! I've already told you that I don't want more children."

He smoothed out his expression. "But Maeve said she wanted to see us grow our family before she leaves."
