"Durian?! Why would someone especially order durian for you?" Jeffery asked with a deep frown on his face.
"I don't know, but he was probably playing a trick on me,"
she said as a small smile finally made it to her face. It seemed like his presence was good for her, as she began to relax, and the pain and dizziness she felt began to subside as well.
When they arrived at their destination, Sherry insisted on paying for the taxi, but Jeffery refused her resolutely and didn't take her money. He helped Sherry out of the car and carried her back to her apartment.
After they went in, Jeffery helped her into the bedroom and get her a glass of water.
"I am going to the pharmacy to buy you some medicine, okay?" he suggested. But when he was about to go, she pulled his hand back weakly.
"There's no need to go to the pharmacy. There's medicine in the bottom drawer of the desk. Just give that to me, please."
He hurriedly rummaged through the drawer to find the medicine that Sherry mentioned, and when he did, he took out a white pill and brought it to her.
"Thank you!" she said gratefully, and she could not help but look at him like he had hung the moon and stars. After all, he always seemed to appear when she needed help, and he was so pure and kind, like an angel. She hoped that she could have a brother like him.
But she immediately rejected the idea as soon as she thought about it, as no matter how much she hoped for it to be true, it could never happen.
"You're welcome!" Jeffery looked into her eyes and said, "Have a good rest. I'll just wait outside, but you can call me if you need anything."
Sherry was so weak by that time, that the only response she could manage was a nod before she fell asleep. Jeffery tiptoed out of the bedroom as soon as she fell asleep, and he carefully closed the door behind him, settling down in the living room, where he would wait for her
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
at Jeremy, who was looming like a beast by their bedroom door, and she weakly waved a hand to greet him, but he did not seem to hear her at all.
Jeremy sneered as he stepped forward, and she looked at Sherry with daggers in his eyes and said, "If I came a just a little later, I would have found you two having sex!"
Jeffery immediately shook his head in denial, and he sprang to his feet and denied vehemently, "No, it's not like that, Mr. Ou."
"Then what is it like? Didn't you just try to put your hand into her clothes?" However, Sherry, who was still feeling ill and lying on the bed, only felt her illness worsen after being scolded by Jeremy in such a sarcastic and cruel tone, and she yelled, "Jeremy, shut up!"
"Luckily, I came back in time, or you would have cheated on me!"
Jeremy said cruelly, unaware of how hurtful his words were, and it only added to Sherry's pain. When Jeffery saw that her face was even paler than before, he became very distressed.
Unlike Jeffery, Jeremy didn't notice that there was something wrong with her at all, as he was carried away by his jealous thoughts, and all he cared about at that moment was what they were up to before he came in.
If he came back a little late, what would he have found! Everything was over!
