Chapter 178 The Countryside

“Jacob mentioned that he had consulted a renowned eye specialist,” Damien murmured, his voice

subdued.

To his surprise, Cherise didn’t appear particularly interested.

She casually responded with a casual “Oh” and continued to walk alongside him.

Aunt Sarah prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Despite the modest ingredients in the farmhouse, she managed to create a lavish meal for Damien

using the best items available.

Elvis bought plenty of wine, insisting they drink until they were intoxicated.

Cherise endearingly leaned against Grandma as she attentively chatted with her while helping her with

the food.

Mr. Kolson watched contentedly as Damien enthusiastically devoured the scrumptious. homemade

drumstick.

As the sun set over the horizon, the warm glow of the sky cast a serene atmosphere upon the evening.

The sounds of laughter and cheerful chatter echoed through the surroundings, creating a lively and

vibrant ambiance that filled the air.

Elvis persistently encouraged Damien to keep drinking, even well past nine in the evening.

Cherise stayed by Damien’s side, deeply concerned for him, and offered more than just

companionship.

She sat on a small chair, watching Damien and Elvis drink while texting lan on her phone.

“Ian, could you please give me the address of that elderly doctor? I’ve brought my husband back to our

hometown!”

lan replied promptly, “Are you sure you want to take him there?”

Cherise nodded determinedly, “Yes, I hope his eyes can improve. As long as there’s a chance, I can’t

give up!”

lan remained silent for a long moment on the other end of the phone before finally providing Cherise

with the address of the elderly doctor.

“The thatched cottage at the entrance of Johnson Village, Doctor Mark Johnson,” he said.

Cherise earnestly noted it down. “Thank you, Ian!”

After hanging up the call, Cherise found Elvis passed out on the brick bed. While Damien. sat there,

quietly munching on peanuts.

She couldn’t help but marvel at the scene before her eyes.

Her uncle was the best drinker in the whole damn village!

Damien managed to knock him out cold!

“Feeling sleepy?”

The man rumbled, his voice low. “You know, you didn’t have to wait for me, really.”

“No, I insist!”

Cherish put her phone away and helped Damien, guiding him back to his room. “There are no proper

beds in the countryside, just traditional heated brick beds. I want to make sure you’re comfortable. If

you have trouble sleeping, I can always add an extra blanket for you in the middle of the night.”

Damien chuckled softly and pulled her into the blankets. “With you here, I can sleep anywhere

comfortably.”

Cherise blushed deeply. “R-really?”

“Of course.” He was somewhat intoxicated when he cradled her face and kissed her passionately.

Cherise was left breathless. “Hubby, let’s sleep…

“Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the neighboring village to explore,” she continued.

He kissed her eyelashes and mumbled against her eyelashes, his words slightly slurred, “Wha’ are we

explorin, hm?”

He kissed her eyelashes in a drunken stupor. “What’s there to explore?”

“In the neighboring village, there’s an elderly doctor…” She didn’t know how to lie convincingly, so she

blurted out the truth.

Damien chuckled softly; his fingers gently lifted her chin as his deep, jet-black eyes met hers. “Why do

you want to see the elderly doctor?”

“To have him check our pulses to see when we can have a baby?”

Cherise was momentarily surprised but nodded vigorously and said, “Yes!”

“We’ll see the elderly doctor tomorrow, have our pulses checked, and get some medicine prescribed to

have a baby sooner. How about that?”

He grinned and pulled her into his arms, “Sure, I’ll go along with your plan.”

“Mark Johnson?”

During breakfast the following day, Aunt Sarah frowned while eating. “That old Dr. Johnson isn’t very

reliable, you know. They say he trusted traditional medicine his whole life. But when his nephew got

into medical school and studied Western medicine, he lost. his focus completely. Couldn’t treat patients

properly anymore.”

Cherise pursed her lips. “I just thought of giving it a try with Damien. If it works out, everyone will be

happy.”
