Chapter 526 Guess Who I Bumped Into
“Guess who I bumped into?”
“Who?”
“Cherise.
As the name was uttered, a profound silence ensued on the other end of the line.
After a moment, Jacob sighed. “You’ve been searching for her for years, and it turns out she has become a doctor in a small town. It does make sense, though. Wasn’t she studying medicine when you two got married?”
“We were mistaken, a*suming she would inherit the Tanner or the Miles’ business. We’ve been investigating in that direction all these years.”
“Who would have thought that Beckham would actually let her pursue her pa*sion.”
Damien narrowed his eyes with his gaze fixated on the woman in surgical scrubs.
It had been five years.
She had slimmed down, grown, and become even more captivating.
“That’s all for now.”
Cherise handed a full page of notes to Charles. If you have any queries, you can find me in my
office.”
With that, she turned and left.
Damien stood less than 15 feet away from her.
However, Cherise didn’t glance in his direction or notice his presence.
All she wanted for now was to retreat to her office and get some much-needed sleep.
After a grueling thirteen-hour surgery, she was exhausted and famished..
Once back in her office, Cherise quickly changed her clothes and freshened up. Then, she started nibbling on a sandwich while texting Zachary. “The surgery from yesterday just concluded.
“Can you help drop the children off at the kindergarten later?
“My God, Bunny, can’t you take a break?”
Zachary replied in no time. “You’ve been in surgery since yesterday afternoon!”

‘Yes. It’s a challenging case which is similar to Mom’s back then.
‘Fortunately, the surgery was a success.
Aunt Charisa would be overjoyed if she knew.”
Zachary sent a resigned emoji. ‘But if she knew you were pushing yourself this hard, she would be upset with you.”
‘Go rest quickly!”
‘Okay.’
Cherise put on a wry smile and continued nibbling on her sandwich. After hanging up the call, she picked up the surgical report and filled in the crucial details.
Just then, her office door swung open.
She frowned, and without lifting her gaze, she continued to fill in the report while speaking. “If you’re a patient, please seek a*sistance at the nurse’s station or the clinic.”
“If you’re a staff, please refrain from disturbing me. I need to rest.”
However, the person at the door showed no signs of leaving.
Frowning, Cherise put down the pen after finishing writing and glanced toward the door.
Instantly, her pupils constricted.
Dressed in a sleek black suit, the striking man with distinctive features stood tall at the door, emanating an imposing aura.
He was more attractive but also aloof than five years ago.
He radiated the coldness and masculinity typical of men in their thirties.
Cherise looked at him, but her astonishment merely lasted for a moment.
She greeted the man. “Hi, Mr. Lenoir. Are you here to inquire about your sister’s surgery?”
She offered a professional smile. Her voice was formal as if she was dealing with a stranger’s family member. “The surgery was successful; both the mother and daughter are safe.“
“Your sister gave birth to a healthy seven-pound baby girl. Her heart condition was also treated. While we can’t predict the future, at least she can live five more years without any complications.”
The woman yawned, turned around, and opened the door behind her office, which led to the staff dormitory.
