NovelEnglishChapter 723 Sulfuric Acid
The woman sprawled on the bed remained still. She actually seemed unconscious. However, Cherise
was confident she was awake.
When Cherise spoke, she clearly saw Rowena’s ECG rhythm fluctuate erratically. This was an obvious.
indication of surprise. Rowena likely hadn’t anticipated Cherise to abruptly initiate a conversation,
hence her evident guilty conscience.
“Your ECG has given you away.” Cherise yawned. Her gaze on Rowena remained indifferent. “But Ms.
Ursula, I won’t unmask you if you prefer to maintain your charade. After all, you’ve been playing this
role. for three years, right?”
When Cherise spoke, she noticed an apparent spike in Rowena’s heart rate again.
“Others may be unaware, but do you think I’m clueless?” Cherise shrugged nonchalantly. “How did you
rescue Damien three years ago, Ms. Rowena?”

severely burnt hand you saw that day had passed away? Was that why you comfortably assumed her
identity and claimed to be Damien’s savior?”
“By the way, you claimed your feet were burnt in that fire, right? I’ve reviewed your medical records and
saw the photos from your treatment three years ago… Your feet were indeed burnt.”
“Upon professional inspection, the burns on your feet don’t appear to be from a fire, but rather…” The
woman smirked. “Sulfuric acid.”

Should I… do as she says and retreat: Rowena instinctively glanced at her feet, which had just begun
regaining mobility. No… Absolutely not.
She had already inflicted such damage to her feet. Once she severed ties with Damien… her life would

ruined!
Cherise opened the door to the emergency room. Outside, Ursula charged towards her and glared at
her fiercely. “What did you do to my sister?”
“Nothing.” Cherise removed her white coat gracefully and placed it on a nearby chair. She turned.
indifferently to the anxious doctors waiting outside. “You may enter. She should regain consciousness
soon.”
