Chapter 723 Sulfuric Acid

The woman sprawled on the bed remained still. She actually seemed unconscious. However, Cherise was confident

she was awake.

When Cherise spoke, she clearly saw Rowena’s ECG rhythm fluctuate erratically. This was an obvious. indication of

surprise. Rowena likely hadn’t anticipated Cherise to abruptly initiate a conversation, hence her evident guilty

conscience.

“Your ECG has given you away.” Cherise yawned. Her gaze on Rowena remained indifferent. “But Ms. Ursula, I won’t

unmask you if you prefer to maintain your charade. After all, you’ve been playing this role. for three years, right?”

When Cherise spoke, she noticed an apparent spike in Rowena’s heart rate again.

“Others may be unaware, but do you think I’m clueless?” Cherise shrugged nonchalantly. “How did you rescue

Damien three years ago, Ms. Rowena?”

“You hastily fled during the fire and ignored people calling for help. Did you think the woman with the severely burnt

hand you saw that day had passed away? Was that why you comfortably assumed her identity and claimed to be

Damien’s savior?”

“By the way, you claimed your feet were burnt in that fire, right? I’ve reviewed your medical records and saw the

photos from your treatment three years ago… Your feet were indeed burnt.”

“Upon professional inspection, the burns on your feet don’t appear to be from a fire, but rather…” The woman

smirked. “Sulfuric acid.”

“Ms. Rowena, you certainly went to great lengths to claim to be Damien’s savior. I was in such agony when my hand

was burnt back then that I wished for death, yet you could withstand sulfuric acid burning your feet… Was it truly

worth it?”

On the bed, the woman’s eyes were closed, and she remained motionless, but her racing heartbeat had given her

away.

Cherise leaned against the table and observed Rowena for a considerable time. “Since you’re unwilling to face

reality, I won’t make things difficult. I know you’ve heard every word I’ve said.” Cherise sighed deeply. “But merely

hearing what I’ve said isn’t enough.”

“As a fellow woman, I’ll spare you some dignity. I hope you understand what I mean. Take your sister away and

distance yourselves from Damien. Otherwise, if I expose the truth, you and your sister won’t have a chance to

redeem yourselves.”

With that, Cherise turned and left.

If not for some personal matters, Cherise would have directly disclosed the truth about Rowena’s actions to

Damien. But the fire from that year was too complex, so she resorted to intimidating Rowena to make

her retreat.

When the emergency room door shut, the woman on the bed clenched the sheets beneath her tightly and gritted

her teeth.

I always assumed the woman who was gravely injured in that fire had perished… Is Cherise that woman?

Should I… do as she says and retreat: Rowena instinctively glanced at her feet, which had just begun regaining

mobility. No… Absolutely not.

She had already inflicted such damage to her feet. Once she severed ties with Damien… her life would be

ruined!

Cherise opened the door to the emergency room. Outside, Ursula charged towards her and glared at her fiercely.

“What did you do to my sister?”

“Nothing.” Cherise removed her white coat gracefully and placed it on a nearby chair. She turned. indifferently to

the anxious doctors waiting outside. “You may enter. She should regain consciousness

soon.”
