Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband

Lucy shrugged, bypassing Cherise to enter the room. It seems like you’re not too happy to see me.”

“You’ve changed. You used to like me before you lost your memory,” she continued as she strode into the living room. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Then, standing in the middle of the room, she immediately noticed the spread of food on the dining table. She walked over briskly and casually picked up a pierogi before popping it into her mouth.

“It tastes good, and it’s just as I remembered. Your cooking hasn’t lost its touch,” she remarked before waving to Frances.”Could you bring me a set of utensils? I’m feeling a bit hungry.”

Frances smiled and nodded, “Of course! Ms. Staber, please help yourself.”

Cherise pursed her lips, quickly taking a seat before Lucy. “What brings you here… is there something you need?”

Although she knew Lucy had always been a good friend, she had no memory of their past, having only met Lucy two or three times. She could not be as close to Lucy as she seemed to expect.

Unfazed by Cherise’s distance, Lucy continued eating pierogi. She said casually, “I’m here to take Alexis away.”

Cherise frowned, recalling that Alexis had mentioned liking Lucy during their last conversation. But…

“Are you sure about this?” she asked.

Lucy nodded. “He has been with you and Damien for too long. Sooner or later, someone will use him against you.”

She explained the situation as she ate the pierogi, “I’ve arranged for a DNA test. The results show that Alexis has no biological connection to you or Damien. But as you know, the false test Sebastian forged has caused quite a stir.”

“But that one was fake,” Cherise countered. She pursed her lips and continued, “What harm could a false test result do?”

“You’re too naive,” Lucy chuckled. “Memory loss makes you so innocent.”

“You see, many people don’t care about the facts. They care about what outcome serves their interests. It doesn’t matter who the child’s birth parents are. What matters is that there’s a test result claiming he’s Sebastian’s illegitimate child with you.”

Lucy continued, “Even though Sebastian’s fortunes have declined, and your status is only Damien’s wife, the more vulnerable the situation, the more people will try to exploit it to unsettle Damien. And besides, the child is still young. You can’t keep watching over him forever. If someone starts gossiping around him in the future, it will be detrimental to him”

Once she was done speaking, she let out a satisfied burp and picked up a nearby drink to take a sip. “So, it’s best that the child leaves with me.”

She continued, “Once he’s no longer with you, far fewer people will attempt to manipulate him. Furthermore, he won’t be subjected to gossip.”

“After all, I…” She paused. “After all, I’m unable to have children myself, so adopting a child is understandable.”

Cherise’s eyes widened in shock. “You… How could…”

“It’s a long story,” Lucy interrupted.

She smiled, patting Cherise’s shoulder. “Once you regain your memory, you’ll understand the whole matter. If it weren’t for you back then, I might not have just lost a child and my ability to conceive. I might have died.”

With that said, she smiled sweetly at Cherise. “So, not only are you my good friend, but you also saved my life.”

Cherise was too stunned to speak. She desperately wanted to know what had happened to Lucy.
