Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 254

Morris' words surprisingly eased Rayburn's mind. Cherise's friends surely wouldn't let her down.

"Rest assured, the pulse is very stable and there's no immediate threat to her life. We'll just have to wait to see what the drug's components are, so solving it won't be such a hassle."

Rayburn could tell how nervous and fond Morris was of Cherise, so revealing the real situation might help ease his stress.

As expected, Morris' face relaxed quite a bit after hearing this.

It was almost 5 a.m. when Morris checked the time. "Mr. Muller, sorry for taking up your time today. Once the drug is fully processed, I'll need to trouble you again."

Rayburn waved his hand, clearly fond of the humble young person before him, nothing like the arrogant figure the rumors suggested.

"I feel connected to Cherise, so I get upset if anything happens to her. Go rest for now; we might have a long fight ahead," Rayburn said.

Morris nodded and personally saw the guest out the door before heading back to the room.

In less than a day, the vigor that he usually showed had faded to a haunted look.

He looked at the person still peacefully asleep in bed, bending down to softly place caring kisses on her gentle pink lips.

Then he stood up and rolled up his shirt sleeves.

He brought a basin of warm water from the bathroom, wrung out a towel, and gently wiped Cherise's face. Her hands, feet, neck, and body all received the same gentle attention.

While wiping, he softly said, "Cherise, I know you love staying clean. Don't worry, I promise to keep you looking beautiful every day."

With gentleness and care, he changed her into a fresh set of pajamas before tiredly heading to the bathroom for his shower.

By the time Morris had finished taking care of both Cherise and himself, and got into bed, it was already close to 7 in the morning.

For autumn days in Betrico, dawn was almost breaking.

Morris didn't dare easily close his eyes, afraid that Cherise might wake up or something might happen, causing him to miss it. He just lay down next to Cherise, resting his head on the nape of her neck.
