Cherise pursed her lips, smiled and said, "Alright."
Despite Damien's clear warnings about Jude, Cherise couldn't shake her reservations.
She had seen Jude's tenderness firsthand, watching him care for Phoenix with a gentleness that seemed impossible to fake. A man
so kind couldn't be entirely wrong, could he?
They settled into a cozy café near the hospital. Jude took a sip of his coffee, then looked up with a hint of a smile. "You know," he
began, "my Mom adores Phoenix."
As Jude looked at Cherise, his thoughts wandered back to when he fell in love with Phoenix.
"Jude," she asked, her eyes searching his, "that girl... she's your Phoenix, isn't she?"

Jude's features tightened. "Mom, Phoenix..."

support.
Jude's lips were wistful as he reminisced about his mother'spassion towards Phoenix. Turning to Cherise, he said with
conviction, "My mom, she's truly extraordinary."
"Now, the most incredible woman is unjustly accused and lying in that hospital bed..."
His gaze hardened. "lI want whoever's behind this to pay."
