Chapter 48 I Want To Take Care Of Her

"Why are you so stubborn?" Jeremy sighed, not knowing what else to say. He just focused his energy on driving as fast and as steadily as possible.

After a while, Jeremy's phone started ringing. It kept ringing and ringing but Jeremy wasn't even considering answering it.

This irritated Sherry so she said coldly, "Can't you just hang up the phone?"

Upon hearing this, Jeremy nervously raised his eyebrows. In a hurry, he took his phone out as if he was afraid of being scolded further.

It was Steve who was calling. After hesitating for a while, he answered it.

"Jeremy, which hospital did you take Sherry to? I'm coming," Steve said anxiously.

Hearing that Steve seemed to be in such a hurry, Jeremy was a bit displeased. He answered indifferently, "City Central Hospital."

Jeremy was a step ahead of them anyway and he drove quite fast. Steve only delayed for a while but when he came out, Jeremy and Sherry had already left.

"Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Steve slammed his foot on the gas pedal, speeding off.

Chester sped up and followed closely behind it.

Finally, Jeremy arrived at the City Central Hospital. Even though it was relatively near the venue, he still felt like it took forever for them to get here.

He got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and looked at Sherry.

Her hair was sticking to her since she was sweating profusely. Her lips were bitten and she was horribly pale.

With great concern, Jeremy bent over to unfasten her seat belt and carried her out of the car.

Sherry shrank into his arms. Even the slightest movement was very painful for her so she slightly hissed, "Hmm..."

"We're already in the hospital. You just have to wait a little while more. You'll be fine soon," Jeremy tried to comfort her in a soft voice.

In a trance, she was in a haze as she looked at Jeremy.

'It's Jeremy and even after everything, he can still comfort me with that soft voice of his. Interesting.'

Still, that didn't change the fact that she didn't care anymore.

Sherry was in a daze as she noticed Jeremy's blood-stained clothes.

When the nurses saw Jeremy's blood-stained shirt, they were shocked. They hurried over to him and asked, "Sir, are you hurt?"

Jeremy was much more relaxed now. He explained softly, "It's not my blood. It's hers. Please help her."

Outside the treatment room, Jeremy sat on a bench. The nurses that passed by decided to give him some water and tissue.

Before long, Steve and Chester had arrived at hospital. As soon as Jeremy saw Chester, he became serious.

"What happened? How long has she been in there?" Steve asked anxiously, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

In contrast, Jeremy was much calmer. "Just a while ago. She should be coming out soon."

For a while, Steve kept pacing back and forth. Finally, he settled on the bench where Jeremy was.

All three men looked grim as they tried to suppress their anxiety about the situation. Steve sighed as he muttered, "Why isn't the doctor coming out yet?"

They were all worried about Sherry and every second that passed was torture to them.

Lying on the bed

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.

"I assure you that I'll definitely find out who did this!" Steve said grimly.

Steve reached out and held her hand. "Make sure you rest up. I'll make sure the person who did this to you pays!"

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that Steve had grasped her hand.

Sherry didn't expect that Steve would suddenly do this so she quickly withdrew her hand from his and said, "Mr. Song, you need to go back now! After all, it's your birthday party."

Although she withdrew her hand immediately, it could still be seen from Jeremy's face that he was quite unhappy. He stood beside her without saying a word.

"It's fine. Someone else is handling things over there," Steve replied simply.

"But isn't that impolite? It's your birthday and people came to see you. If you're not there because of me, I wouldn't know what to say!"

Steve burst into laughter. The mood had lightened up a bit now as he spoke, "You... You're so considerate."

Sherry was speechless as she smiled awkwardly. "So, you need to go back right away!"

Biting his lips, Steve stared into Sherry's eyes, heaving a small sigh of relief. "Well, I guess I should be going. You should stay here and rest well. Don't worry about anything. I promise to make it up to you."

The waitress was insisting that someone had bumped into her but she couldn't pinpoint who it was that had bumped into her. He wasn't going to let this go.

At first, Sherry just wanted to let it go. After all, it was already done, she had already been hurt. Even if she found out who it was, she couldn't do anything about it anyway.

But at the same time, there was a part of her that was suspicious. She didn't like the idea that someone out there thought that they could just bully her.

"Thank you," Sherry said politely.

Steve smiled back and reminded her to rest again. After bidding his goodbye to Jeremy and Chester, he left.

In the room, the smell of disinfectant still filled the air and only their breathing could be heard.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward as they all felt a bit uncomfortable. The air around them was a bit tense.
