She seemed to mention divorce so nonchalantly like it meant nothing.
The corners of his mouth twitched. Suppressing his displeasure, Jeremy said, "Let's talk about it later."
"Okay, let's talk about it when you feel better," said Sherry, "I'll go home soon so get a change of clothes, and some..."
"I'll tell Barry to get it. Just stay here," Jeremy interrupted her.
Sherry held her tongue and finally said, "Well, then I'll call Barry."
She knew he was injured and she shouldn't mention divorce but she almost had no choice.
Anyway she couldn't change the past now. Sherry didn't want to give him false hope.
Food was being served in the hospital while Sherry finished making the call. She came back in to see Jeremy leaning against the head of the bed, glaring back at her.
"Ahem, let's eat!" Sherry said gesturing at the food in front of him.
"Look at me. Can do it myself?" He glanced at his hand in the cast with a sudden fall in his mood.
Sherry had no choice but to feed this helpless man in front of her.
This was the first time she'd seen Jeremy so excited to eat. He was getting so keen that he was biting the plastic spoon and by the end the spoon had snapped.
"I'm a patient now. It's your turn to be patient with me," he childishly said to her.
Sherry was so annoyed but kept her anger to herself. When she was sick, she tried her best not to bother him.
"You should eat too," he suddenly said.
"I'm not hungry. I'll have some fruit or something later," answered Sherry, lifting another spoonful of rice to his mouth.
"No, you can't only eat fruit. Let's just eat together." Jeremy frowned, trying to coax her to eat with him.
Sherry just stared at him blankly, completely lost in thought.
When did he start to care about her?
"If you're not going to eat, neither am I. Just throw it away!" He thought she wasn't eating because she just wanted to show her anger.
Sherry lowered her head, stirred the spoon in the bowl and took a bite herself. After that, Jeremy smiled with satisfaction. "Good girl. You aren't at all fat by the way. You don't need to lose weight. You should actually be a little fatter."
However, Sherry turned a deaf ear to his words. She only took one bite and continued to feed him.
She felt so pressured by Jeremy it felt as if she was eating alone. He kept asking her to eat.
"I haven't finished eating yet. Why did you take it away?" Jeremy still wasn't full. He watched Sherry put his food away without any explanation.
"You shouldn't eat a lot tonight. You're sick, and you should eat less." She put the half eaten meal away.
He already ate a lot of vegetables do he shouldn't have eaten any more. Sherry might have deliberately just fed him vegetables to spite him though.
She was already full so she was too lazy to feed him! He was absolutely speechless.
"Okay, then I want to eat some fruit!" he said.
Sherry took an apple out of the bag, ready to cut it into pieces, but she heard him blurt out, "I don't eat apples, only oranges."
Sherry didn't know that about him. "The fruit knife i
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.
sleep like this. It makes me uneasy."
She'd been sleeping alone for a while now and sleeping with someone beside her felt so foreign.
Smelling his familiar scent kept her awake.
"Really? How about a different position? You can sleep on top of me." He lowered his head to look at her.
He was doing it on purpose. Sherry ground her teeth in anger and refused to look at him.
"If you don't say anything, then you're agreeing to sleep on me." He immediately moved as if he was about to hug her.
"No way! We'll just sleep like this." Sherry hastily refused, "Don't move!"
She was afraid that she'd hurt him again.
"Okay, we'll stay put." He lowered his head, stared at her and smiled proudly.
Helplessly, Sherry lay on the bed and leaned against him.
Jeremy began being childish!
She didn't have the heart to turn him down though. In the most difficult moment, he helped her. When she was ill, he also helped her.
There was no reason for her to cut him down. She couldn't be a cold woman.
Suddenly, the unexpected touch stunned Sherry. She hissed in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to touch me? Why are you moving again?"
With his chin on her forehead, he responded in a hoarse voice, "I can't control myself. Just help me."
Shameless! Sherry cursed him a thousand times in her heart.
Thoughts flooded her mind without warning. She realized that when they got along well there was no fighting and embarrassment.
It turned out that they could actually get along in peace. The memory of her quarrel with Jeremy disappeared effortlessly, and her anger with him also seemed to dissipate.
While she was lost in thought, she felt something warm touching her. Jeremy kissed her again.
She got angry and slightly shoved his chest. "Don't move!"
Jeremy grunted, "Sherry. Be gentle. I'm injured." In Sherry's mind, she was dealing with a giant child.
Again, Sherry was getting annoyed, but she took her hand back and dared not struggle any more. After all, Jeremy saved her life. The least she could do was take care of him.
