Chapter 744 Perfect Timing
The cover…
Damien was stunned.
After a moment, a sudden realization struck him, prompting him to fl*p open the memory album hastily.
Every page recorded his past with Cherise, and each photo portrayed their most precious memories. together.
A wave of emotion swelled within him. At the same time, numerous images flashed through his mind.
He commissioned this memory album to be custom-made because he missed Cherise tremendously.
Wanting to preserve it forever, he had it specially crafted from metal. He even inscribed a message at the back, saying he would await her return.
A wave of excitement washed over him as he quickly turned to the album’s final page. He saw a line of words he penned himself. I will wait for you to come back to me.
Emotions surged in his heart, threatening to overwhelm him.
He thought he had lost this album in the fire three years ago and had resigned himself to the belief that it had been melted down for gold.
Yet, against all odds, this memory album was in Cherise’s possession.
Isaac’s words at Lermille Airport echoed in his mind. “Dr. Shaw really did injure her hand. It was a burn…”
Damien’s hands trembled involuntarily as he held the album
During the fire three years ago, he vaguely sensed that Cherise was beside him. He remembered smelling her familiar scent and hearing her voice. Yet, he was all alone when he regained consciousness.
Initially, he was convinced that he had met Cherise in the fire.
However, Lennon and Jacob explained that people could experience hallucinations when on the brink of death. Over time, he dismissed his encounter with Cherise as mere hallucinations.
Moreover, Rowena’s
appearance further dispelled any doubt that Cherise had been in the fire.
But now, recalling Isaac’s words, Damien stared at the album in his hands. His heart was in turmoil.
Could it be…
The person who saved me three years ago was…
A moment later, Frances picked up a mop downstairs and was about to start cleaning when Damien suddenly rushed down the stairs.
He clutched the memory album firmly and dashed toward the door.

Frances was perplexed.
Isn’t Mr. Lenoir supposed to deliver jackets to his children? Why…
“Frances.” Damien’s hand paused on the doorknob.
“Please go upstairs and fetch the jackets for Ren and Sera next to the suitcase. Please bring them to the kindergarten. Also, bring some treats for all the children in the kindergarten, saying they are from Ren
and Sera’s father.”
With that, he hurried out of the house.
Frances frowned and asked, “Mr. Lenoir, didn’t you say you would deliver them yourself?”
“I have more pressing matters to attend to!” Damien answered and rushed away like a gust of wind.
Frances shook her head as she watched Damien leave.
Cherise had just exited the police station when she received a call from Damien.
His deep and masculine voice was tinged with excitement. “Cherry! Where are you?”
“I… I’m near the police station.”
Cherise furrowed her brow and was somewhat puzzled by his excited tone. “Is there a happy occasion?”
It had been so long since she heard him sound so cheerful.
“Yes!” Damien replied tenderly, “I have something important to share with you.”
“What a perfect timing.” Cherise pursed her l*ps. “I also have something to tell you.”
Even though she lacked evidence to prove that she saved him in the fire three years ago, she felt it was time to reveal the truth.
