Sherry waited in the ward all night. When she got tired, she got up and walked around for a while. If
she was tired from walking, she would nestle on the sofa, looking out the window.
In the small hours, it began to drizzle.
She listened to the rain and gradually fell asleep against the sofa.
When she woke up again, it was nearly dawn.
She rubbed her eyes and was ready to stand up and stretch herself when she noticed she was covered
by a coat.
Instantly, she looked to the bed but did not see Daniel.
Remembering what the doctor said last night, she got shocked and immediately rushed out.
Out of the ward, she was about to go to the doctor when she saw two familiar figures in the corridor. So
she slowed down and finally stopped.
Emmett was facing her and said, “Sherry, you are awake.”
Sherry stared at the back of Daniel wearing a hospital gown and got stunned for a few seconds before
returning to her senses. “Well, yes.”
Daniel said to Emmett, “I am fine here. You send her back.”
Emmett nodded and said, “Okay.”
Daniel turned around and went back to his ward with an infusion rack.
He did not give her even one glance.
With the door of his ward closed, she finally came back to her senses. She wanted to say something
and went forward. But Emmett suddenly said, “Sherry, I will send you home.”
“But I…” she said.
“The doctor said Daniel needed more rest. So wait until he is better,” he said.
Hearing this, she could only swallow back the words that she wanted to say.
He dropped her at her apartment building and then left.
She walked inside listlessly, and when she passed a breakfast store, she bought some breakfast.
While waiting for the owner to pack her food, a man came out from inside and left holding an umbrella.
She stared at that umbrella.
It looked similar to the one that Daniel once told her. Back then, when the supermarket downstairs was
having a sale, he lied to her that his mother had left him an umbrella like this.
“Here you are, Miss,” the owner handed over the breakfast.
After hearing the owner’s voice, she quickly retrieved her thoughts and took it. “Thank you.”
She carried the breakfast upstairs. In a daze, she entered her passwords wrong several times.
All of a sudden, she did not want to go in. So she squatted at the door and began to eat the potato
pancakes she just bought.
Soon the next door opened.
Stella came over and asked, “Sherry, what are you doing squatting here?”
Hearing her voice, Sherry could no longer hold her feelings and said, “I forgot the passwords and could
not enter…”
When she said the last few words, she began to sob with tears in her eyes.
Stella turned around to enter the passwords with slightly pursed lips.
After the door opened, she held Sherry up and said, “Go in.”
Sherry bit into the potato pancake with tears falling. “Stella, have you eaten your breakfast? If you
haven’t, I will buy one for you downstairs…”
Stella smiled and replied, “Yes, I have.”
After helping Sherry to the sofa, Stella walked to the kitchen and poured a glass of milk for her.
She sat next to Sherry and asked in a light voice, “Did you talk it through with Daniel?”
Sherry shook her head. “He was unconscious for a night. I fell asleep later and I did not know when he
woke up. And when I woke up, he was talking to Emmett. I wanted to talk to him but he ignored me.”
Stella patted her shoulder and said, “Then wait a little longer and also give him some time to accept
these things.”
Sherry looked to her and asked, “Did you tell him about the child?”
“Yes. I told him on the way to the hospital,” Stella replied.
“Well, how did he say about it then?” Sherry asked.
“He said that he never had a chance to tell you clearly about his thoughts. He thought you
misunderstood him because of what you saw that day at his house,” Stella said.
Hearing this, Sherry was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I know well about his thoughts. I had
known it long ago...”
So even if she had a baby, she never thought that she would have a solid future with him.
More than that, she never dreamed that she would be capable of making such a playboy like him love
her and build a family with her.
Stella did not tell her what Clarence said to her last night.
Sherry was now with Brandon. If Stella said those words to her, it would only make her sadder.
People needed to feel things in a relationship on their own. Outsiders wouldn't be able to help much.
What happened between two lovers should not and could not be intervened.
After finish eating the potato pancake, Sherry calmed herself down and said, “Stella, I will go take a
shower and then head to the studio.”
Stella said, “The shooting is in the afternoon, so you can first take some rest.”
“No. There are still a lot of preparations to do. Since we have been working for so long, we must not
delay.” Sherry added, “Don’t worry. My sleep quality is quite good. When I was in the hospital, I had
enough sleep.”
While saying that, she went into the bathroom.
Stella let out a breath and got back to her house next door.
Just as she opened the door, Clarence’s voice came, “Did you finish talking?”
She pouted her lips and sat next to him with head on his shoulder. “We did not have much of a
conversation. I don’t know how to comfort her anymore…”
“Comforting won't help much. As long as she does not regret her choice, it is the best,” he said.
She stared at the carpet in silence.
Yes. Who knew what the future would be like?
Maybe Brandon was the one who was most suitable for Sherry to go through the rest of her life.
Clarence held her hand before his eyes and looked at the ring she was wearing, feeling satisfied.
He tilted his head and kissed her brow. “When will you go to the studio?”
She replied, “Maybe later. Sherry is not yet prepared.”
She then added, “Oh yes. We have a shooting today, so I may get home a little late.”
He said, “I got it.”
She thought about it and added, “After you let Winnie terminate the contract with Conrad Group, did
you just disregard her like this?”
He slightly raised his eyes, “Who said I disregarded her? Didn’t I offer her a better choice?”
She got speechless for a moment.
Then she asked incredulously, “You mean endorsing my jewelry brand, huh?”
“Isn’t it good for her?” He said slowly, “Hasn't she invested? When she gets dividends, she should send
me a thank-you letter.”
She got stunned slightly and then asked, “You didn't foresee that we would ask her to do the
endorsement, did you?”
He replied, “Isn’t this something in your plan? Any brand that wants to expand its consumer base will
look for the right spokesperson. Winnie has several high luxury global endorsements. Once she
becomes your spokesperson, your brand popularity and influence will soar.”
“But when we approached her for the endorsement, we had not thought of this…” she said.
