Chapter 155 The Benefits She Got from Him
The chair that Sunny’s father was holding fell and crashed onto…
Jan! A man Cherise had not seen for a long time.
“Ian!”
Cherise let go of Lucy’s hand and rushed to him.
Someone from the crowd had helped Sunny’s father up. Cherise pulled the chair away and asked, “Ian, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Ian clenched his teeth. “I got hit, but I’m not hurt.”
Cherise quickly helped him to stand up. “How did you get caught up in this?”
“I saw him raising the chair to hurt you and rushed without thinking to stop him.”
Ian smiled with relief. “I’m glad you’re not hurt.
His gentle voice and warm gaze made Cherise feel a little uncomfortable.
She glanced toward the infirmary and said, “I’ll send you to the infirmary.”
After saying that, she supported Ian and walked with him.
“I’ll do it.”
Lucy came over and pushed Cherise aside.
She supported lan as they walked. She even rolled her eyes at Cherise. “You walk at a snail’s pace.”
Cherise pursed her lips and quietly followed Lucy.
But with Lucy supporting lan, she found their situation much less awkward than before.
Ever since what happened that time……
Cherise never initiated contact with lan.
She felt it would be awkward for them to interact.

It was not only due to Ian’s misunderstanding about Damien blacklisting him. There was also the way Ian looked at her and his tone when speaking to her. Those had exceeded the boundary of friendship.
Ian had likely treated her the same way before this.
But Cherise was now someone’s wife. She felt uncomfortable if lan were to continue to treat her that way.
The three entered the infirmary.
There was no one around.
Cherise brought a medical kit over. She opened a bottle of antiseptic, but Lucy snatched it from her. “I heard someone called the police. You should check if it’s true.”
“Once the police arrive, you should get them to record your statement. Tell them the
truth.”
“We’ll send Sunny’s parents into police detention to reunite with him there!”
Cherise pursed her lips, wanting to say something. Meanwhile, Lucy had already begun disinfecting the wound on Ian’s leg.
Thus, Cherise smiled at Ian, “Ian, I’ll be going out to see if the police are here.”
She closed the door and left after that.
“Does it hurt?”
Lucy gritted her teeth and pressed the antiseptic-soaked cotton bud against Ian’s leg injury.
Ian broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I should ask the same for you.”
Lucy rolled her eyes. “Didn’t Damien recommend you to work in a medical research. institute? Is that not good enough? Why did you come to campus to look for Cherry? Don’t you have anything to do in the research institute?”
Ian’s expression changed. “It’s nothing to do with you.”
“When it involves my best friend’s happiness, it has everything to do with me!”
Lucy was a straightforward person. She immediately exposed lan’s ruse. “You deliberately

got hurt to get Cherise to take care of you. It’s a pretty good plan, but unluckily, you bumped into me!”
Then, she slapped his wound. “You like getting hurt, right? Let me hurt you a bit more!”
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re Cherise’s best friend, not Damien’s.”
Ian narrowed his eyes, trying not to express his pain. “You keep defending Damien. What benefits do you get from him?”
“Lots!”
Lucy rolled her eyes and roughly bandaged his leg. “Damien promised that when he and Cherise have a child, I’ll be the baby’s godmother!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
