Chapter 49 Intimate Moment

Sherry started feeling weak and knew something was wrong. She shyly looked down at her hands and said, "Thank you so much for coming to see me but I think I need to rest. Can you guys please give me some time alone?"

Jeremy had a slight smile briefly fall on his lips. He wasn't happy that Sherry wanted him to leave but as he was about to speak Chester perked up and said, "Okay sure. Whatever you want. If you need anything, I'm right outside the door."

Raising her head, Sherry smiled as she thanked him. Chester smiled in kind as he left the room.

Jeremy was angry but he thought of the pain Sherry just suffered and calmed himself down.

He stood up and covered Sherry with a quilt. He as gently as possible said, "I'll leave now. Call me if you need anything."

Sherry seemed to ignore him. She didn't respond nor smile as she did to Chester. She just blankly stared out the window waiting for him to leave.

Jeremy didn't say another word. He left Sherry alone and gently closed the door on the way out.

He came out to see Chester holding his phone in his hand. He looked like he was about to make a call.

Chester put the phone to his ear and confidently said, "Beisy, I am at the hospital. No, Miss Xu is injured. Prepare this for me, I want..."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jeremy coldly and aggressively barked, "You can leave. I'm going to stay here."

Chester put his phone away and turned to Jeremy in response.

Jeremy stared back calmly. The once calm atmosphere suddenly felt a lot more hostile.

When they were in school they were both quite popular. They didn't really know each other but they heard each other's name a lot.

It was outrageously difficult to be civil now though. They both wanted to take care of Sherry.

"No. Sherry was at the party on behalf of the company. As her boss I'm going to be responsible for her and take care of her," Chester assertively said.

Under the harsh, white fluorescent light of the corridor, the two men glared at each other. They were both tall and handsome with impressive builds.

The difference was that Chester was gentle and friendly, while Jeremy was as cold as an iceberg.

"Really? If the relationship between you and her is apparently just about work, how can you compare that with what her and I have?" Jeremy gave a scornful smile.

This wasn't the first time that Chester talked about Sherry so intimately.

Chester addressing her as "Sherry" instead of "Miss Xu" made Jeremy go mad with jealousy.

"So, what's your relationship with her?" asked Chester.

Chester vaguely knew the answer, but he didn't want to admit it.

He'd seen Jeremy and Sherry together in the past on multiple occasions. However in the past few days he noticed how cold she was towards Jeremy.

It was so much more than a lovers' quarrel. It seemed as though Sherry looked at Jeremy more estranged than anything.

Jeremy proudly strolled towards him and arrogantly said, "She is my woman. My woman!"

Chester surprisingly didn't react as Jeremy expected. He wasn't angry or shocked, but he just simply smiled and looked back at him quietly.

"She's my woman and you don't need to tak

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.

He answered the phone and respectfully said, "Sir."

Jeremy's voice sounded a little tired and hoarse, as well as a little nervous. He said, "Barry, I'm in City Central Hospital. You can bring a suit and my clothes here."

Hearing where he was prompted Barry to anxiously ask, "Are you sick? Where is Mrs. Ou?"

"It's not me being treated. Bring some clothes for Sherry as well and postpone the meeting tomorrow." Jeremy's finger tapped on the poll beside the wall almost plotting the schedule for tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Barry hung up the phone, changed his clothes and rushed to the villa where Jeremy lived.

After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked down at his bloodied body and frowned slightly.

He walked into the ward, took off his coat and sat down at Sherry's bedside. Sherry hadn't moved since he was last in the room.

"Move in," he said softly.

Sherry moved a little. It seemed she wasn't asleep, but her body hurt so much that she couldn't move. Jeremy leaned in and gently moved her body a little to the side of the bed.

"Aww..." Sherry gave a light cry. Jeremy became even gentler and asked politely, "Did I hurt you?"

Sherry didn't say anything, and Jeremy gave a warm smile.

Jeremy took off his shirt, and his strong scent overwhelmed Sherry, enveloping her whole body.

Sherry was a little uneasy, trying to ignore his fragrance.

The bed was big enough for Sherry but with the addition of Jeremy's massive body, it felt quite crowded.

With a sigh, Sherry turned her back to him.

She tossed a wisp of her hair onto Jeremy's face. He reached out his slender hand and brushed it aside. He buried his face in her fragrant long hair and smelled it as he gradually fell asleep.

Barry called Jeremy when he arrived at the hospital, but to no answer. Barry paced frantically throughout the hospital before finally finding Sherry's ward.

Not daring to disturb them, Barry left their clothes with the nurse on duty.

Jeremy was in and out of sleep when he heard sobs coming from next to him. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and nervously looked at Sherry.
