Marrying the Man in the Dark Chapter 763

Chapter 763 Meeting The Other Miles’ Family Members.

The first who emerged were Mr. Kolson and Mr. Hampson, pushing a gurney with Zachary lying on it.

“Zac!” Kareen screamed, her eyes red and puffy. She lunged forward and threw herself onto the gurney. “Zac, wake up! Zac?!”

Desperation filled her as she frantically shook his b*dy. Memories of their last conversation flooded back. He’d told her he was going to Adania, worried about Cherise and Damien after their reconciliation.

“What does it matter if she’s doing well or not?” Kareen had snapped back then. “Enough about her! She’s not worth your time!”

But for the first time ever, they’d argued. Having lost their mother young, they’d always been each other’s rock. Zachary never raised his voice to her, always indulging her every wish.

“Hey, listen,” he’d said sternly, “Even if you hate Cherise, she’s Aunt Charisa’s only daughter! Belittling her is belittling Aunt Charisa! She should have been there for Cherise, but she lost her. Instead, she raised us.”

“We wouldn’t have the life we have now

out Aunt Charisa. We’d have been thrown out by

that wicked woman, Patricia, and her son raised us. Now that she’s gone, can you honestly say Cherise’s fate doesn’t matter to us?”

Kareen was rendered speechless. She hung up and felt guilt gnawing at her.

Now, here was Zachary, the one who had argued with her and gone to see Cherise, lying injured after an accident in Adania.

Seeing Kareen shaking him violently, Cherise frowned. “You could hurt him like that,” she said gently.

Kareen slammed to a halt, her eyes red and narrowed as she glared at Cherise. “Don’t you tell me what to do! My brother went to Adania to see you; he was perfectly fine! Now he’s back like… a ghost of himself!”

Grief finally spilling over, Kareen raised her head, her eyes locked on Cherise as she started towards her, her voice thick with anger and despair. “This is all your fault! Give me back my brother!”

She looked like she might attack, but a dark figure stepped between them – Damien.

“Kareen, calm down,” Damien said, his voice firm yet calm. “This isn’t Cherry’s fault. We’ve looked into what happened to Zac. It’s true; it’s connected to Cherry only because your

brother chose to save her. He’s a hero, but you can’t blame the person he rescued for needing rescuing.”

Kareen’s eyes remained red, but a flicker of understanding pa*sed through them. “Even so, you both still have to take some responsibility! Zac was perfectly healthy when he went to see you, and now… look at him! Don’t you dare try to shrug this off!”

Damien held his ground, neither retreating nor advancing, forming a protective barrier around Cherise.

Lyra, watching the tense scene unfold, hesitantly approached Cherise, tugging at her sleeve. “Is that Zac’s sister? She seems… quite intense.”
