Chapter 646 The Patient From The Past
Cherise took a sharp breath.
“Are you okay with leaving Maeve alone with Tristan?”
Charles was surprised. He looked at Cherise in confusion and glanced at Damien. “Why wouldn’t I be…”
Charles and Maeve had recently met. At that time, Tristan had already cut ties with Raymond. After enduring numerous lashings from Raymond, he was banished to Africa.
Damien had rescued Tristan from Africa, and now Tristan was completely submissive to Maeve and Damien after enduring great suffering.
Therefore, Charles was unaware of the extent of Tristan’s past wrongdoings.
“Tristan has changed.” Damien rea*sured Cherise calmly, “I’ll explain everything later.
Cherise pursed her l*ps, “Fine. Even if Tristan won’t harm the vulnerable Maeve, why are yo having a barbecue here?” She had rushed over, a*suming that Damien and Charles were here. to convince Isaac to attend tomorrow’s press conference!
“Let me introduce Mr. Stein first.” Damien smiled casually, instantly understanding the woman’s thoughts. “You can voice your disapproval after you learn who he is.”
Cherise remained silent and waited for the man to speak.
“I’m Mr. Stein, and I was the patient involved in the so-called medical mishap two years ago. The man Cherise didn’t recognize smiled faintly and began to introduce himself. “I was quite surprised when I saw the news today. Mr. Lenoir asked me to help Dr. Roebuck, so here I
am.”
Cherise was so stunned that she couldn’t speak for a while.
Did Damien actually find the patient from the past?
“I was just as surprised as you are.” Mr. Stein was moved when he saw Cherise’s astonished gaze. “I always believed that the surgery back then was successful, and I was unaware of the subsequent drama.”
“After the surgery two years ago, I moved to Australia. I had no idea about the events. unfolding here. But Mr. Lenoir contacted me two days ago and asked me to help the doctor who operated on me back then.”
“Naturally, I agreed. Moreover, Mr. Lenoir gave me a generous gift to persuade me to come”

Cherise was speechless. On the way here, she had been thinking about how to encourage Isaac. She had been pondering how to convince him to break ties with Martha and step forward at the press conference.
As it turned out, Damien had already resolved another major issue she had been struggling with two days ago: finding the patient from the past surgery.
“Mr. Stein hasn’t been home for a long time. I asked him what he missed the most, and he said he longed for local barbecue. I asked Isaac to prepare it and invited Isaac over for a small cookout.” Damien’s deep voice remained calm but stirred a wave of emotions in Cherise’s heart.
Damien… was still the same. He was considerate, decisive, strategic, and capable of turning the situation around. He… was still the same man who stood by her side and smoothed everything out for her.
Seeing the woman staring at him blankly, Damien smiled indifferently. He placed the food he had prepared on the plate in front of Cherise, “Why are you staring at me? Dig in.”
Cherise snapped back to reality.
