Chapter 772 I’m Insignificant
Have they never seen someone blush before?
Cherise had just enjoyed a particularly delightful and satisfying meal,
After dinner, she and Damien returned to their hotel when her phone rang. It was Lyra calling.
“Cherise, what should I do?” Lyra’s voice was tearful on the other end of the line. “Zachary’s sister,
Kareen, won’t let me stay by his side to take care of him.”
“She called me clingy and told me to go away. She even said I’m not good enough for her brother…”
Lyra was on the verge of tears. “I’ve been the one taking care of Zachary since he got injured. It’s been
over an hour since I last saw him, and I feel so lost…”

do…”
“Lyra, take a deep breath,” Cherise responded calmly. “First, tell me, what is your exact relationship
with Zachary?”
There was a pause on the other end of the line. “What… what do you mean?”
“Are you two really engaged?” Cherise voiced the doubt she had been having for a while.
Lyra constantly claimed to be engaged to Zachary, and Zachary himself had said that he was bringing
his fiancée to Adania. However, Lyra wasn’t acting like his fiancée.
For example, she didn’t defend herself when Kareen made derogatory remarks about her at the airport.
And now, she had been dismissed by Kareen.
“I…” Lyra’s voice was faint. “Of course we are…”
“Lyra, I can only help you if you’re honest with me.” Cherise spoke softly, “If I find out that you’re lying to
me, I won’t be able to help you properly.”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line. After a while, Lyra finally sighed. “Cherise, where
are you? I’ll come to you.”
In a coffee shop on the ground floor of the hotel, Lyra sat across from Cherise. “Cherise, I didn’t lie to
you. We’re really engaged…” Her body was tense, and she nervously held onto her coffee cup. “But…”
“But there’s no love between us.” The young girl looked down, slightly distressed. “No, that’s not right.
He doesn’t have any feelings for me.”
“I was the only one who truly cared for him from the beginning.” The girl looked up at Cherise with her

“I was afraid to approach him and get close to him. I also knew that he would never feel the same way
about me. But I still wanted to watch him from a distance, secretly comfort him when he’s hurt, take
care of him when he’s drunk, and leave before he wakes up.”
“That’s what I’ve been doing all these years.” Lyra’s delicate fingers were wrapped around the coffee
cup,
Zachary is my senior. I’ve always admired him, but he’s too remarkable. He shines wherever he goes.

“And 1.. I’m too insignificant.” The girl looked at Cherise with an empty gaze. “I’ve known for all these
years that there’s a girl he loves, and I know he traveled from Ziphon to Europe and Lermille for her.”
Tve always followed and silently watched him from behind the scenes. He rarely drinks, but I always
know when he does. He has been drinking a lot recently, and I went to take care of him…”
