Chapter 774 What Era Are We Living In?
Damien casually glanced at the assertive Cherise from the passenger seat of the car. “Are you finished with your conversation?”
“Yes!” Cherise nodded. “After our discussion, it’s clear that Lyra is innocent!” She turned to Mr. Kolson. “Let’s go to the hospital!”
“Off to confront Kareen?” Damien interrupted nonchalantly before Cherise could respond.
“Yes!” Cherise nodded emphatically. “I’m going to help Zachary and Lyra get married!”
Mr. Kolson drove swiftly, and they arrived at the hospital in no time. When the car stopped, Cherise promptly pulled Lyra out and rushed into the hospital. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Zachary’s hospital room was on the top floor, as Kareen had arranged. Although Kareen was somewhat bothersome, it was undeniable that she cared deeply for Zachary in the Miles family. However, if Lyra were to marry into the family, she would become the one who cared most about Zachary.
As Cherise led Lyra to the top floor, Kareen was conversing with Zachary’s attending physician in the corridor. She intermittently wiped away her tears throughout their conversation.
Cherise noticed Kareen’s tear-streaked face from a distance, and her resentment towards Kareen for driving Lyra away subsided slightly. After all, Kareen was much better than those money-minded individuals in the Miles family.
“Why are you here?” Kareen spotted Cherise leading Lyra towards the room before she could approach.
“You’ve brought this troublesome woman back?” The worry and despair on Kareen’s face instantly turned into annoyance. “I’ll have you know that even though my brother is currently in a coma, his
marriage is no laughing matter!”
“Is this woman my brother’s fiancée just because she claims to be engaged to him?” She glared at Cherise. “Until I hear my brother acknowledge it, I won’t let this woman anywhere near him!”
Cherise frowned at Kareen coldly. “Who gave you the authority to make decisions for your brother?”
“You should ask yourself that question.” Kareen laughed in disbelief as her lips curled in scorn. “If it weren’t for you, my brother wouldn’t be in this state, would he?”
“And this woman merely slept with my brother. What era are we living in? Is it mandated that a man and woman must marry each other if they sleep together?!”
“And look at this woman.” Kareen glanced at Lyra coldly, her eyes filled with contempt. “Can’t you see how ordinary she is? How could she possibly be worthy of my brother?”
“Don’t try to convince me further. I won’t listen to anything you say.” Kareen turned on her heel, grabbed the doctor, and briskly walked towards the ward.
Cherise furrowed her brows. She bit her lip, snatched the phone from the frightened Lyra beside her, and played the audio that Lyra had previously recorded.
“Zach! Tin overjoyed! Can… can I have you repeat it into my phone?
“Sure.” Zachary’s voice in the recording was cold yet polite. “Do I just speak normally?”
“Yes…”
“Alright. Ms. Lyra Quinnell, I, Zachary Miles, am proposing to you today. I hope you will marry me and stay with me for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”
“I will! I will…”
When Cherise played the recording, she distinctly saw Kareen freeze in place.
