Chapter 118 Can We Stop Him, Please
Randall seemed to have read Cherise’s mind. He coughed and said, “Cressa is staying in a hotel-like ward, which I specially customized. She just moved in. We didn’t want too many people to learn about it, so there’s only half an hour of visiting time each day.”
Cherise was flabbergasted. Even if it’s a special room, it’s still in the mental hospital! What kind of father is this? I’ve never seen such a foolish person before!
Damien poured Cherise tea and asked Randall, “So, it was your idea to send your daughter to the mental hospital, right?”
“Yes. Yes…”
Randall put on a fawning smile. “I thought doing so would please you and Mrs. Lenoir more than sending her abroad. But I didn’t expect to cause a misunderstanding.
Cherise was at a loss for words. It turned out that both Cherise and Ian’s incidents were unrelated to Damien. Even if there was any relation, it was insignificant.
Thinking of how she had lost her appetite for the entire day due to these matters, Cherise thought she was a fool.
She quickly dragged the bow to her front and devoured the food. She had been starving!
After eating three bowls of rice, Cherise rubbed her stomach and burped in satisfaction.
“Are you done eating?” Damien elegantly pa*sed a napkin to her.
“Yeah!”
Cherise stretched happily and received the napkin from Damien. Only then did she realize Jacob had left, leaving Randall standing nervously at the spot.
Compared to Jacob, who paid no regard to Damien, Randall was much more cautious. Cherise even thought Randall feared Damien so much because he owed him favors.
Randall smiled obsequiously at Cherise and said, “Mrs. Lenoir, Mr. Lenoir said it’s up to you how you want to deal with Cressa. What do you think?”
Cherise pressed her l*ps. If it’s up to me…
“Please send her to study abroad.”
It was better than keeping her in a mental hospital, and she could further her studies.

Randall’s face turned pale, but he could only agree to it.
After he left, Cherise had some desserts.
Just then, Mr. Hampson hurried in. “Mr. Lenoir, lan Phil*ps is now at the train station with his luggage. He’s going back to settle down in his hometown. Should we stop him?”
Cherise sprang up and gasped, “We have to!”
Mr. Hampson was caught off guard momentarily before raising his eyes to look at Damien. Only then did Cherise realize she was too worked up.
Coughing, she carefully sat down and stared at Damien pitifully with her pitch-black eyes. “Hubby, let’s go and stop lan, shall we? He’s a rare top student in my high school. It wasn’t easy for him to leave his impoverished village. If he returns now, the others will surely mock him. Besides, he has the potential to become an excellent doctor. It’s a pity if his talents are stifled in the small village.”
Damien was amused when he perceived Cherise’s serious look, but his face remained cold. “Are these all the reasons you don’t want him to leave?”
“Of course.”
Cherise grasped Damien’s arm and shook it gently. “Please, believe me, hubby. Event though I admired Ian previously, he was none more than my senior at school. I just don’t want to see his talents wasted.”
