Chapter 65 It's Linda

Sherry went for a stroll in the garden outside the hospital and then headed over to the ward Jeremy was staying in.

She had no idea whether Jessie would be there or not. And in case Jessie was indeed still there, she would have to talk with Jeremy.

When she swung the door open, she stumbled upon Jeremy sitting on the bed and fiddling with his phone.

Despite the fact that he was wearing a loose-fitting hospital gown, Jeremy still looked rather arrogant and strong.

The second Sherry pushed the door open, she heard his cold voice. "Didn't I tell you to get out?"

Letting out a deep sigh, Sherry calmly said, "Since you want me to get out, I guess I'll just leave."

Hearing this, Jeremy suddenly raised his head to check who it was. When he found out that it was Sherry, his tone immediately shifted and he said, "Sherry! Don't go! Come back!"

Sherry was still standing at the door and curtly replied, "Didn't you just ask me to leave? I'll do as you say and leave right away."

Left at such a loss for words, he was about to jump out of bed and embrace her, but he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be "seriously injured" right now. So, all he could do was feign his disability and lie in bed, whining, "I thought it was Jessie who came back again. I wasn't asking you to leave. Come over and sit next to me."

After keeping silent for a moment, Sherry did as he asked and walked toward him.

"Where have you been? What took you so long to get here?" he asked, wearing a frown on his face.

"There's something I have to tell you," Sherry said, completely ignoring his words and changing the subject. "I have requested for an extended leave of absence, and I've almost fully recovered already. It's time for me to come back to work."

With his eyebrows deeply knit, Jeremy repeated, "You are planning to go back to work?"

"Yes, you can rest assured that I will hire a good nursing aide to take care of you, and I'll be visiting you at the hospital after work," Sherry went on and added, worried that he might not agree with it.

"No, I don't agree." Sure enough, he didn't agree and flat out refused.

Hearing his response, Sherry calmly told him, "Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to take care of you. I just think that you don't have to be looked after all the time anymore. And even if anything comes up, you can just call the nurse to assist you."

"No, I can't let you do that. Why do you still care so much about your stupid job anyway? Are you saying that it's more important than me?"

'Stupid job?' Sherry let out a soft chuckle and pondered to herself, 'In his mind, his business is important. But he thinks that my job is insignificant?'

This should hardly be surprising given how he had always been so overbearing and selfish. It wouldn't make sense to expect a selfish man such as him to be tolerant and generous.

"Yes, my job is more important than you," Sherry blurted out.

This caused his face to darken in an instant, making him look so gloomy.

Seeing the look on his face, Sherry tried to remain calm, acting as though she didn't notice it at all.

That being said, he held back his anger and said in a calm tone, "Do you really have to do this?

Why do you have to say such a thing? How could you be so heartless?"

"Well, you should go have a good rest. I'm leaving now." Upon saying those words, Sherry turned around and left right away.

"Sherry, come back!" Jeremy suddenly pulled the quilt off of him and tried to stop her from leaving.

Before Sherry could turn to look, she heard Jeremy let out an audible hiss.

When she looked back, she found that he got up from his bed and ended up touching his wound by accident. The pain was so unbearable that he fell back to the bed. With a distorted face, he cried out in pain.

Sherry was startled when she heard this, so she rushed over and asked, "What's wrong? Is it hurting agai

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.

brought Sherry to the bar she went to before.

Sherry seemed to be a little awkward. Although she had already walked toward the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Seeing this, Linda looked at her helplessly and said, "Don't worry. It's not like Jeffery is here every day. There's nothing for you to be scared about."

Of course, Sherry was aware of that. After all, Jeffery was still in the hospital right now! It was just that she didn't want to come here and felt a bit uneasy. "That's not it."

"Then what are you so afraid of?" Linda looked at her, feeling so confused.

"Never mind. I'm afraid of you. Let's go inside." With that, Sherry pushed her and the two of them entered the bar.

At this time, there were only a handful of people inside the bar.

After picking a table on a quiet corner of the bar, they sat down and ordered two bottles of wine. The two of them enjoyed the wine while chatting.

"Linda, I have a favor to ask you. I hope that you won't tell any of our colleagues that I was actually married." Sherry felt rather anxious about this matter, so she opted to remind Linda of it.

However, Linda simply rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, I'm not a tattletale! Do you seriously think I'm going to betray my best friend?"

It should go without saying that Sherry trusted her. But there were times that people forget some things. With that in mind, she had to remind Linda. After all, she was a very straightforward person. If Linda's tongue ever slipped, it would be quite troublesome for her.

"By the way, have you been in touch with Jeffery?" Linda casually asked.

Hearing this, Sherry felt a bit tense. She tried to pull herself together and answered, "Come on! I've only met him once. There's no way for me to get in touch with him."

"What about Jeremy? How are you getting along with him? Do you argue with each other a lot?" Linda quickly changed the subject.

Sherry didn't want to talk about Jeremy at all, so she just took a sip of the wine without humoring her with a response.

A lot of things had happened in the past couple of days. The feelings she had for Jeremy were much like a roller coaster ride. She didn't want to casually talk about anything that had to with Jeremy, mostly because she didn't want to let anyone find out about the ridiculous situation they were currently in.

Given how Sherry didn't answer her question, Linda just assumed that Sherry had been wronged and got into an argument with Jeremy again.

Then, Linda said in a disgruntled tone, "Jeremy is so bad!" Shaking her head, Linda took a sip of the wine and cursed at Jeremy.
