Chapter 849 It’s All Heather’s Fault

Cherise opened her eyes and met Heather’s inquisitive gaze. Heather seemed to be silently asking. “Are you okay?”

Cherise responded reassuringly and smiled at Heather, calming her anxious heart.

Ever since Cherise arrived at the institute, Heather had been worried about her. Although she knew Cherise had Damien’s protection, she was concerned that Damien wouldn’t be able to arrive on time if Mr. Whitlock were to bully Cherise.
