Chapter 197 The Truth
Cherise inhaled deeply. “Lucy’s perfectly fine. Not me, though.”
As Damien applied disinfectant to her wound, he furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong with you?”
I helped her fix the problems back in her hometown. Did I miss anything?
“My own husband… has been deceiving me.”
She let out her breath in a huff and gazed up at the ceiling with tears welling in her eyes.
As soon as she finished her sentence, she could no longer hold back her tears. Still, she kept her head
lifted to keep them from streaming down her face.
Damien’s movements froze upon hearing that..
He glanced up, meeting her tear-filled eyes. They felt like shards piercing his heart.

He could think of only one reason that would evoke such a reaction from her.
Finally, Cherise broke down before him, her teary gaze locked on his face as she cried, “Damien, you
once told me that the most important thing in a relationship is trust. I trusted you with all my life and
showed you my vulnerabilities. What about you?” She sniffed and shoved his hand away. “You didn’t
even tell me the truth about yourself. I understand you may have your reasons for feigning blindness,
but why didn’t you tell me? I-It’s because I’m not important enough to you, isn’t it?”
Her voice, filled with despair and heartbreak, trembled and broke at the end.
At that moment, how Violet gloated in Viopril Palace appeared in her mind.
“It turns out that I’m the one who understands Damien the most,” Violet announced pompously.
Cherise closed her eyes in despair.
Indeed. She’s the one who knows him best, while I’m nothing to him.
Damien frowned and pulled her into his embrace. “Cherry, I planned to tell you the truth this evening.”
I specifically asked Hampson to arrange for everyone to leave earlier just to tell her the truth. However,
it seems to be too late.
“It’s only because I found out about it.” Cherise laughed bitterly as she struggled to get away from him.
“If I didn’t discover it myself, you were going to keep me in the dark forever, weren’t you?”

“No. Listen, Cherry. That’s not the case!” He hugged her tightly and pressed a loving kiss to her ears. “I
have reasons for doing this, and it’s not to deceive you. I’ve been pretending to be blind for thirteen
years, even before we got married. I couldn’t just reveal everything as soon as we
met

She tried to pry his hands from her. “The other day, Violet told me that she knows you better than I do,
and she even asked me if I know the truth about your eyesight. I thought she was sowing discord
between us on purpose. It’s only now that I realize she’s been showing off in front of me! I’m your wife,
yet she knows you better! Since you are so close with her, why didn’t you marry her instead?”
Deceiving her wasn’t entirely unforgivable. However, it became a different matter when Violet, who
usually wasn’t around him, knew everything.
Cherise had always prided herself as the person who most understood and trusted him. Yet, she had
been under the false impression that he was blind all along.
Just that afternoon, she was overjoyed at the prospect of a cure for his eyesight.
The more she dwelled on it, the deeper her resentment. She couldn’t contain the torrent of tears. that
welled up and streamed from her
eyes.
