Chapter 565 Another Chance
It’s Syatt’s fault!
“Maybe I should apologize,” Lucy suggested.
She casually sipped her coffee and fl*pped through a magazine across the table. “What other options do you have?”
“He came all this way to pursue you, only to be scared off on the first day. That’s not fair.”
Cherise remained silent.
Her eyes were fixed on Lucy. “Lulu, do you think I should give him a chance?”
“I can’t say for sure, but your words and actions suggest that he still holds a place in your heart.”
“If you truly didn’t care for him as you claimed, you wouldn’t be concerned about how you treated him.”
“If he’s someone you don’t care for, why should his opinion of you matter?”
Cherise was left speechless. She couldn’t argue with Lucy’s words.
Lucy is right… She couldn’t help but care.
Cherise bit her l*p. “Damien should have a positive impression of me, right?”
“So why not give him another chance?”
Lucy yawned. “You’re so stubborn.”
“Haven’t Mr. Carlos and the hospital director introduced you to numerous promising young men over the years?”
“Zachary even introduced you to a few men. Have any of them caught your eye?”
“You’ve shown no interest in any of these men. But when Damien shows up, you’re all over the place.”
“If you can’t let go, why not give it another shot?”
Cherise’s hands clenched tightly. “I…”
Even though five years had pa*sed, she couldn’t easily forgive Damien for the pain he had caused her back then…
“Absolutely not.”
Lucy rolled her eyes. “Cherise, stop being so stubborn. When I suggested giving him a chance, I meant allowing him to pursue you like Syatt and the others.”
“Are you going to be won over so easily?”
“Don’t be too grateful for every little thing he does for you. Make him work for it and pursue you for a year or two as compensation for the pain he caused you back then before you make any decisions!”
“Oh.”

Cherise nodded. She gently sipped her drink. “I understand.”
After a moment, she looked up at Lucy again. “Should I apologize for my behavior today?”
“Apologize?”
Lucy frowned. “If he’s serious about pursuing you, would a minor misunderstanding discourage him?”
“If this small incident is enough to make him back off, don’t bother giving him a chance. Let him go hist own way!”
“Ah.”
Cherise pursed her l*ps and nodded lightly.
Upon seeing the naive girl before her, Lucy sighed in exasperation..
Others saw Cherise as a mature, composed, experienced, and restrained female doctor.
But in Lucy’s presence, Cherise was still an innocent girl who needed protection. Cherise liked to share. and discuss everything with Lucy.
With this in mind, Lucy asked Cherise, “Can’t you figure these things out on your own without me spelling. it out for you?”
Cherise looked up at Lucy and shook her head.
She had her own plans for Damien and would have figured it out without Lucy’s advice.
But her past with Damien still haunted her, and she couldn’t fully move on.
Lucy’s words encouraged her and provided her with a way forward.
As it turned out, she wasn’t alone in her thinking. She had people around her who supported her as well.
“Cherise.”
Lucy reached out and tousled Cherise’s hair. “Your mom pa*sed away a long time ago. It’s time to let go.”
