Chapter 622 Cherise’s Lipstick Purchase
Today, Cherise appeared noticeably more composed in both her speech and actions.
She had to find a way to navigate around Kareen.
Kareen scoffed, picked up the lipstick Cherise had given her, strutted in her seven-inch heels, and exited with a flourish.
After Kareen left, Lucy appeared shocked but gave Cherise an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
Three years ago, when she first arrived in Lermille to search for Cherise, she witnessed a heated argument between Cherise and Kareen.
Cherise used to struggle to express herself, often suppressing her frustration during arguments with Kareen.
Now…
Cherise was articulate, and Kareen was left speechless.
Cherise gave her friend a thumbs-up, handed Lucy the black card, and said, “I owe it all to your excellent guidance.”
She then looked at the card, which Kareen had linked to Damien.
This black card was unmistakably a symbol of the Lenoir family.
And among these business cards, the ‘Lenoir’ black card was the highest tier.
It could even be inferred that only individuals like Damien and Maeve could use it.
The woman waved the card in her hand, looked at Lucy, and asked, “Is this card yours?”
Lucy avoided making eye contact with Cherise and chuckled awkwardly. “It’s a card from a friend,” she explained.
“He said he wanted to lend it to me so I could buy some nice clothes.”
Cherise didn’t believe a word of it.
Her friend thought her clothes were ugly, so he gave her a black card to buy clothes.
Lucy would have gone on a shopping spree by now if she were really like that.
During the shopping trip, Lucy refrained from making any purchases. It wasn’t until Cherise
needed help paying for a lipstick that Lucy pulled out her black card.
This card was either given to her by Damien or Maeve.
Under Cherise’s piercing gaze, Lucy didn’t know how to evade, so she had to reluctantly nod and admit. “This card is indeed from the Lenoir family.”
“It was given to me by Maeve.”
Lucy and Cherise walked side by side out of the mall, and Lucy glanced at Cherise and said casually, “I didn’t expect Maeve to apologize.”
Cherise scoffed, “I don’t care if she apologizes.”
“She hurt my mom, and I can’t forgive her on behalf of my mom.”
Lucy sighed, “What about Damien?”
“We’ll deal with that when the time comes.
“And this card…”
“Hold onto it for now.”
Cherise sighed deeply and put the black card in her wallet, “I’ll return it to him when the timing is right.”
“For now, I might need to borrow it.
After spending over three thousand dollars on two lipsticks and with Sera’s tuition due in a few days, she couldn’t repay the money to him so quickly.
If she couldn’t repay the money, she wouldn’t be able to return the card to him.
Damien would surely not pursue her for the over three thousand.
She couldn’t spend his money as freely as before in their current relationship.
After they left the mall, they drove directly back to the hospital.
Cherise had mainly carried the bag with the new lipstick in it.
This lipstick was the latest model of a significant European brand.
The nurse’s station was abuzz when Cherise returned to the hospital with this bag.
“Dr. Shaw bought that lipstick!”
“Dr. Shaw doesn’t wear makeup. Why did she buy that expensive lipstick?”

🌸 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. ❤️...
