Within a few minutes, Sherry came out with her suitcase.
As she got into the car, she said, "Stella, Mr. Conrad, I'm sorry to make you come and pick me up in the
middle of the night."
Stella said, "It’s okay. Are you hungry? Shall we have something to eat before we go back?"
Sherry said, "No, I'm not hungry. Let's go straight back and get some more sleep."
Stella thought so. She had been on the plane for so long that she definitely wanted to rest.
She said to Clarence, "Come on."
Once back at department, Sherry grabbed Stella by the arm and kept winking at her.
But Stella didn't react for a moment.
When even Clarence noticed it and turned his head, Sherry rushed to say, "Stella, I've got a present for
you. Come and get it."
Immediately afterwards, she said to Clarence, "Mr. Conrad, I'll talk to Stella for a few minutes and bring
her back soon."
Clarence gave her a nonchalant look and then said to Stella, "Don't take too long. You have to go to the
studio tomorrow."
Stella nodded, "I know. You go to bed first."
Clarence turned, opened the door, and went in.
Sherry pulled Stella and went to her place, then closed the door behind her before saying, "Stella, I've
got the stuff. Now what do we do?"
Stella pursed her lips gently, "I'll send it for testing tomorrow."
"I think that's a bit risky." Sherry said, "That's what I think. When your dad first got the paternity test
done, he must have been very careful, but in this case, something still went wrong. What does that
mean? It means that someone doesn't want your dad to recognize Chan!"
At those words, Stella's brow furrowed. She had never really thought about it, but when Sherry said
that, she thought it make sense.
And Sherry had spent the last ten hours or so on the plane mulling it over. The more she thought about
it, the more she realized that this was the way it should be.
Sherry continued, "Whether it's you, or Clarence, or your dad, there are a lot of eyes on you guys.
They'll know every time you guys make a move. But I am different. I was supposed to stay out of it, and
no one knew exactly what I was doing in London this time. Naturally, they wouldn't be keeping an eye
on me."
Stella said, "But if it's like you say and you're going to do this identification, you're also vulnerable to
danger if they find out. I ..."
Sherry pulled her, "It's okay. I'll go back to see my parents tomorrow. I have an uncle who works in the
hospital. I'll get his help and there won't be any accidents."
Stella frowned a little deeper. What Sherry had said was not a bad idea.
She had just returned from London and it seemed perfectly normal to bring gifts and go back to see her
parents. No one would bother to follow her and suspect her.
City N was in a very precarious situation at the moment, and her and Clarence's every move was
indeed being watched.
If Chan's true identity was revealed at this point, it would most likely cause him trouble.
It would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Sherry.
After a long moment, Stella nodded gently, "You should be careful."
"Don't worry. My hometown is a small city, and no one will pay attention to it."
Having finished the business, Sherry unpacked her suitcase and took out all the gifts for Stella,
Channing, and Winnie. "I'm going back tomorrow. You can give them to me. I want to spend a few days
with my parents this time. As soon as the results come in, I'll call you and let you know."
Stella said, "Okay, so when are you leaving tomorrow? I'll see you off."
Sherry sat cross-legged on the sofa, "No, I don't need to. I'll just take a taxi to the airport myself. By the
way, I'll give you the spare key to the studio. I'm afraid I'll lose it with me."
Sherry rummaged through her backpack and there was none.
She searched her shirt pocket again out of habit, and a rectangular object, which had fallen out and
landed quietly in front of them.
The room fell dead silent.
Sherry blushed. She immediately picked it up and stuffed it back into her shirt pocket, "Well... This
brand was doing a promotion in the airport. It's a giveaway..."
Stella spoke slowly, "I heard that you two went to a photography exhibition together and stayed out all
night."
"That... was because the car broke down on the road. We managed to find a hotel to and contacted
someone to come fix the car, and there was heavy rain, so... We had to stay there for the night."
"So, this was brought back from the hotel?"
Sherry was speechless.
She knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply picked up a pillow and hugged it in her arms,
then mumbled, "I couldn't resist having a little drink and it was raining. The atmosphere and the mood
were right. As you know, this sort of thing is just out of your hands sometimes."
Stella coughed, not feeling quite right about the subject.
She said, "Well, I'm just asking. It's your private business, anyway. I'll go back first."
Sherry nodded, "Okay, just get back. Mr. Conrad's going to complain about me later. It was hard for him
to get over that last time."
Stella smiled and got up, "I'm off. You get some rest."
"Good night."
"Good night."
After Stella left, Sherry slumped onto the sofa and stared straight ahead for a moment.
She wasn't sure if it was because she'd slept too long on the plane or because of jet lag, but she didn't
feel sleepy at all.
She was very refreshed.
Sherry took out her camera and went through the photos one by one.
On the way towards the motel, Daniel had somehow got into the picture, and there were several shots
of his back and face.
Sherry looked at the photos several times and wanted to delete them, but then she hesitated to press
the delete button.
After a long time, she put the camera down again.
Sherry took out her phone and booked a ticket home for tomorrow at 2 pm, and she was about to go
into the bathroom to take a shower when her phone rang.
It was a call from abroad.
A little confused, Sherry slowly sat down and picked up, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, the woman said, "Hello, this is Lina. Do you remember me?"
"Yes, I do."
"Well, our photography exhibition ends in three days, but you haven't sent me your photos yet. Don’t
you still want to participate in this exhibition?"
"No, no." Sherry rubbed her temples, "I'm really sorry. I've been a bit busy for the past two days and
forgot about it. Is it okay if I send it to you now?"
"Yes, I'll give you an email address later. You can send it directly to this address."
Sherry said, "Okay, thanks."
Lina said, "I'll be waiting for your works then."
"Wait..."
"Wait..."
