Stella responded, “Okay.”
Just when she was about to hang up, she felt that someone was holding her other hand and gently
squeezing her palm.
Stella lowered her head and saw Clarence who sat on the bench in the corridor. While he was holding
her hand, he seemed to be thinking about something.
As she was putting her phone away, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Clarence said with a disappointed tone of voice, “You are not wearing your ring again.”
Stella murmured, “I am afraid that I might lose it.”
“If you lose it, I will buy you another ring. If you lose one hundred rings, I will buy you one hundred
back.”
“You used this ring to propose to me. The meaning of this ring is different…”
“Then, I will propose to you whenever I buy a ring for you.”
That's not really necessary. Stella thought.
Clarence slightly increased his strength to pull her down so that she could sit beside him.
He said, “Someone will think that he still has a chance because you don’t wear your ring. He hasn't
given up to this day.”
Stella knew the person he referred to was Emmett. She smiled, “Okay. I will wear it from tomorrow
onwards.”
Clarence slightly raised his brows, “You are so obedient?”
“…Fine, forget what I said”
The corners of Clarence’s mouth quirked up. He interlocked their fingers, “After we go back, I will help
you to wear it.”
Stella leaned her head on his shoulder, “How did you know that I am here?”
“There is nothing that I don’t know.”
Stella didn’t bother to reply to his words. She only let out a sigh, “Actually, I think that Daniel quite likes
Sherry. Otherwise, he would not run out to find Sherry as soon as he woke up in the hospital. If…he
initially was not taken away by Lyndon, things would be great. The subsequent incidents also would not
happen. He and Sherry would….”
Clarence said calmly, “Have you ever thought that, he wouldn't have figured out what he really wanted
if he hadn't been taken away by Lyndon?”
Stella paused for a moment. That made so much sense.
Daniel had been in many life-and-death situations for these few months.
Thus, he probably had seen clearly about his inner desires, and knew who the most important person
in his life was.
So, he went to find Sherry as soon as he woke up.
However, he didn’t expect that Sherry had experienced a lot of things when he was not present.
As a result, she could not consider their relationship as carelessly as she did before.
Moreover, the two of them had never actually established a relationship.
They came together only because of the child.
In Sherry’s opinion, if the child was not there to form a link between the two of them, they would
naturally go their separate ways.
The two of them missed out the time when they cared about each other the most.
Stella let out a long sigh and didn’t know what to say.
Clarence comforted her, “Don’t think too much. If he cannot let go of her, he will find a way to get her
back on his own.”
Stella thought about it and said seriously, “Your words are also right. In this field, you are the expert.”
Ouch, harsh.
She couldn’t help smiling, “I have cooked rib soup for you. You can drink it after we go back.”
Clarence didn’t express his opinion, “The method of pestering the girl to go out with you has been
proven to be effective.”
Soon, Sherry arrived in the hospital.
It seemed that she had run to the hospital. She was gasping for air while she stood in the corridor,
“Stella, Mr. Conrad… Hasn’t he come out yet?”
Stella stood up. Before she could answer Sherry’s question, the door of the emergency room was
opened.
A doctor came out of the room, took off his mask and said, “The patient’s injuries are very serious. As
his family members, all of you should keep an eye on him. He cannot run out of the hospital like that
again. Otherwise, we cannot save him even if he has ten lives.”
Stella said, “We understand. Thank you.”
The doctor said, “All right. All of you can go to the ward and see him. Remember to prevent him from
moving excessively before he fully recovers from his injuries.”
Sherry was still gasping for air. She felt that she was still in a daze.
She remembered something, Daniel was still fine when she saw him downstairs. At worst, he was
shaky on his feet and looked slightly unwell. Why did his condition suddenly become so serious?
When Sherry was lost in thought, Stella walked towards her to support her body, “Sherry, let’s go.”
On the way to the ward, Sherry’s legs felt a little limp. She didn’t know whether it was due to she ran
too fast just now or the fear surging in her heart.
If it weren't for Stella supporting her, she might collapse to the floor
When arriving at the door of the ward, they could see Daniel clearly through the glass window. He was
lying in the bed.
After she looked at him, Sherry couldn’t help but to find her eyes tingling. She choked up and slowly
walked into the ward.
Just when Stella was about to follow her and walk forward, Clarence pulled her. He gave her a knowing
look. She immediately understood his intentions.
Stella retreated and closed the door gently.
Clarence said, “Let’s go.”
Stella said, “We leave…just like that?”
Clarence said, “Oh, you still need to send a message to Emmett.”
…
Sherry walked to the hospital bed. After she stood for a long time, she slowly sat down.
Sherry took out her phone and hesitated for a while. She decided to make things clear to Brandon.
After all, he got punched for no reason.
Sherry dialed his number, “Have you…reached home?”
Brandon said, “I have. What’s wrong?”
“Erm, the doctor said that your wound cannot come into contact with water. I am really sorry for what
happened tonight…”
Brandon gave a chuckle, “It is just a small wound. Not a big deal.”
While she was holding the phone, Sherry wanted to say something, but she suddenly didn’t know how
to mention the matter.
After a moment of silence, Brandon said, “The man we met today is not just your friend, isn’t he?”
Sherry didn’t say anything and seemed to have silently admitted to it.
Brandon said, “Actually, I can see that he really cares about you. Is he your ex-boyfriend? Or is he…
your suitor?”
“He is neither of them. I…don’t know how to explain this.”
Brandon said, “Well then, you don’t need to say anything. I understand. However, it seems that he
doesn’t know that we are in a relationship.”
Sherry acknowledged his words and said, “He just came back from…a very far place. I will explain it to
him clearly.”
Brandon asked, “Are you with him now?”
“Yes. However, he just came out of the emergency room and is still unconscious. I am not really alone
with him. My friends will come here later. After I explain it to him clearly, I will go home.”
“Okay. That's good. Do you need me to pick you up?”
Sherry immediately said, “No. There is no need for that. I can go back on my own. You should rest
early.”
Brandon said, “Alright. If something happens, call me.”
After she hung up, Sherry leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
"What is this all about?"
When she was staring at the ceiling with a dazed look on her face, the person, who was lying on the
bed, seemed to have moved a little bit.
