Chapter 1175 Colin Got Injured
Damien didn't even look up. His voice was cold and distant as he said, "Let him. He brought this on himself."
Cherise was at a loss for words. She had hoped he'd help talk ssense into Colin! But here he was, firmly standing by Colin's
side? He was his own brother, for crying out loud! Didn't he feel any pain for him? Wasn't Colin his younger brother? Didn't he care
about him?
Damien's averted gaze spoke volumes - aplete lack of concern.
Taking a deep breath, Cherise grabbed the antiseptic wipes and tweezers. "If the pain gets too much, don't hesitate to cry out," she
instructed.
Then, she turned to Mandy. "Just in case, can you bring a towel? He can bite down on it if it gets really bad."
Colin remained silent throughout.

With a tight press of her lips, Cherise began cleaning his wounds.
The extent of the damage was far worse than she'd anticipated. Blood caked the area, and with meticulous care, she used
tweezers to extract over a dozen shards of glass.
Each shard caused Colin to react visibly. His ears turned white, and his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles shone bone-white.
Seeing him like that gave Cherise a weird sense of deja vu.
This wounded Colin reminded her of Damien from the past, who faced anything head-on, regardless of the pain or difficulty. Colin
had sof that sgrit.
Brothers. So stubborn in sways, it was almost uncanny.
By the tCherise finished removing the glass and bandaging his injuries, Colin had surrendered to the pain, succumbing to a
merciful unconsciousness.
This man, who wouldn't utter a single groan even as his body screamed, remained silent until the pain finally knocked him out.
Cherise sighed resignedly while putting away the medical supplies. As she did, Damien entered the room, a thin blanket draped
over his arm. He draped it gently over Colin.
"Will he be alright?" Mandy whimpered, guilt and fear twisting her features. "It's all my fault... | shouldn't have gotten so wasted..."
"He's just knocked out from the pain. He'll be fine when he wakes up," Cherise replied softly, then glanced at Damien, asking, "Are
you staying to watch him?"
Damien nodded. "It's late. You both should get srest."
Cherise hummed in agreement and got up. Having Damien stay to care for Colin was the most fitting arrangement.
Cherise hummed in agreement and stood up.
It made the most sense for Damien to stay with Colin. First, they were both men, making things easier. Second, as Colin's older
brother, Damien was responsible. Finally, Cherise knew Damien would have volunteered even if she hadn't asked.

Years of loving Damien had given her a good read on him. He was sarcastic but kind-hearted. He might pretend not to care about
Colin, but deep down, he clearly worried.
As Cherise reached for the doorknob, Mandy couldn't help but steal a glance back. "I..."
The man on the bed had a handsface—sharp cheekbones and defined collarbones added to his charm. Perfect lips peeked out
from under his arched eyebrows and long eyelashes. The resemblance to Damien was undeniable.
However, innocence and vulnerability about him tugged at Mandy's heart, making her want to get closer.
She chewed her lip, her eyes glued to the bandage on his forehead, where crimson blood seeped through the white fabric.
She couldn't help but think about his pale face as he endured the pain earlier and how he'd protected her at the bar.
A pang shot through her heart, a feeling of constriction as if an unseen hand squeezed it.
Colin's lean physique, a facade of innocence radiating a sunny disposition, yet beneath it all resided a core of stubborn
determination, a trait so characteristic of the Lenoir family.
Mandy couldn't help but be intrigued by this enigmatic mix.
