Chapter 684 Ursula And Rowena
Ursula finally gathered the courage to confront Damien. Her voice, filled with tension, broke the silence. “Damien,” she began, “we need an explanation! Weena risked her life for you. She faced the flames alone, suffering burns in the process! She even donated blood, the very blood that kept you alive!”
Ursula tightened her fists and continued, “You can’t ignore her feelings for you! You claimed to visit your sister in Lermille, and Weena, in her innocence, believed you. However, I suspected something was amiss and encouraged Weena to confront you. Even then, Weena was willing to step aside if you and your ex-wife were to reconcile.”
“Her love for you is deep, yet here you are, flaunting your ex-wife and children in her face?” Ursula’s voice rose with indignation.

Damien’s stride faltered. A sneer formed on his l*ps as he looked down at Ursula. “Firstly, my relationship with Rowena is none of your concern. Secondly, I have never made promises to her or considered her anything more than a sister. Thirdly, the compensation she has received from me over the years far exceeds what she has done for me. If you still think it’s not enough, feel free to set me on fire again.”
He continued, his voice devoid of emotion, “If you expect me to abandon Cherry and the children for Rowena’s sake, then I’d say you’re delusional.”
With that, he dismissed Ursula and turned his attention to Cherise.
A tender gaze met Cherise’s eyes as he engaged her in a gentle conversation, ignoring Ursula as they exited the airport. “It’s been five years since you’ve been back. Do you miss this place?”
Meanwhile, Ursula remained rooted to the spot, her fists clenched, her l*ps pale from biting. Witnessing her distress, Charles walked up to her.
Looking up at Charles with resentment and confusion, Ursula voiced her frustration. “What’s so special about his ex-wife?”
She knew that Charles was acquainted with the Lenoir siblings. However, she was unaware that Cherise was the doctor from Lermille, the one Charles had sought for Maeve.
Assuming Charles, like her, was unaware of this connection, she felt empowered to express her grievances freely “Do you know my sister saved Damien… and suffered burns on her feetes
With tears welling in her eyes, Ursula turned to Charles, her voice trembling with emotion
If it weren’t for my sister back then, Damien wouldn’t be here today How can he just reconcile with his ex-wife and disregard Weena’s sacrifice like that? What else is left for her it he walks away like that?

Charles sighed, patting Ursula’s shoulder comfortingly. “I remember Weena being independent not too long ago. I have no doubt she will find true love one day.”
Ursula was taken aback, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Charles, even you… even you are charmed by Damien’s ex-wife, thinking she’s good?”
Charles frowned, his annoyance becoming evident. “What are you implying? Dr. Shaw is an exceptional woman; she and Damien clearly have a strong connection. Even though Weena saved Damien’s life, she can’t force him to leave a happy family, can she?”
Ursula was somewhat surprised by Charles’s reprimand. In her memory, Charles had always been kind and supportive towards her and Weena.
“But…” Ursula stammered, attempting to defend her position.
“No ‘buts”!” Charles interjected, taking a deep breath to control his emotions. “Was it Weena’s idea or yours for Damien to be with Weena?”
Ursula was startled by the direct question and quickly replied, “It… it was me. Even if Weena didn’t say it, I’m her sister; I know how much she likes him!”
