Chapter 26 Stay With Me (2/2)
Jackson suddenly grabbed Stephen's collar and said, coldly,”Stephen An, you have gone too far.”
Stephen shook off Jackson, without fear. He angrily said,”I have gone too far? You are having fun with Sally He here, but what about Cherry? You left her at home alone. Have you thought of her?”
”It's none of your business.”said Jackson.
”Jackson Chu, I don't want to talk about our old scores. Tell me, how on earth do you define your relationship with Cherry? If you don't like her, I'll take her away from you. I will not endure it if she suffers.” Stephen finally admitted that he had come here for Cherry. He felt sorry for her when he thought of her wounds and her countenance.
”Stephen An, it's impossible, don't you think so?
She is my wife. Isn't it none of your business?”
Asked Jackson.
”I know she is your wife, Then what are you doing here?”
Asked Stephen, pointing at the villa. ”You stay with this woman. Have you thought of your wife?”
”Stephen An, don't meddle in my business.” Jackson stared at Stephen angrily,”Besides, don't approach my wife. Otherwise, I will destroy you.”
Jackson said. Just then, Sally He walked towards them.
”Stephen An?”
Sally was a bit surprised,”Why are you here?”
Stephen was also surprised to see Sally He, but he kept calm. ”Sally He, good to see you again.”
”Did you come to see Jackson, or to visit me?”
Sally He said, gently.
”What else could it be? I heard that you had come back and dropped by to visit you,” Stephen said evenly.
”How did you know I had come back?”
Sally was a bit intrigued and continued,”I thought only Derek Lu and Jackson knew that I had come back.”
Sally He thought no one else knew that she had come back. So how did Stephen find out?
”You need to ask Master Chu this question,” said Stephen, as he turned to Jackson. ”He did not want others to know, but he failed.”
”Stephen An,” Jackson shouted angrily,”Did you meet her?”
Jackson thought Derek wouldn't spill the secret that Sally had come back. So Cherry would be the only person who could tell Stephen.
”Master Chu, what do you think?”
Stephen asked in reply,”Do you know how Cherry has been lately?
Don't you know about the wounds on her hand?”
”Hasn't she applied some ointment?”
Jackson asked.
Stephen snorted,”Applied some ointment?
How could she apply ointment by herself?
Jackson Chu, you do know how to find excuse for yourself.”
Jackson did not reply. He was concerned about Cherry.
From Stephen's words, Sally He found out that Cherry Shen was Jackson's wife.
Stephen looked at Jackson and continued,”Jackson Chu, if you want to take care of Sally He, then I will take Cherry...”
Jackson interrupted before Stephen finished his sentence.
”Stephen An, don't even think of touching anything in my life, or it won't end well for you. If you don't believe me, you can try again. Have you forgotten the lesson I gave you in the past?”
”You...” Stephen was too angry to say anything more.
”Leave now. Keep my words in mind,” said Jackson in a condescending tone.
Stephen kept silent and left. However, he did not give up. Since it was Cherry, he would pursue her no matter the risks, no matter if it was for revenge or for his own heart.
Watching Stephen go, Sally He whispered in Jackson's ear,”Cherry...is this Cherry your wife?”
”Right.” Jackson did not avoid the question. Instead, he answered her calmly.
”Is she better than me?
Why would you marry her?”
Sally He's eyes were gradually filling with tears.
Jackson did not answer. He turned around and gently said,”Sally, you are getting better and can take care of yourself now. I have to go. You can live here. No one will bother you.”
Hearing his words, Sally He clutched his hand and shook her head. ”No. No. No. Don't go. You can't go. It was hard for me to be back with you again. I can't let you...”
Jackson wanted to get rid of Sally He,”Sally, knock it off.”
Jackson finally shook himself free from Sally He and wanted to leave, but then he heard her angry words.
”If you leave, I will kill myself,” Sally He said, angrily. She would do whatever it took to make Jackson stay here.
Jackson stopped. He knew Sally He. If he left, it was very likely that she would do something terrible.
Seeing Jackson pause, Sally He walked towards him. She hugged him from the back and snuggled up to him. She then said, happily,”Stay with me, I'm so scared without you.”
Jackson didn't say anything. He was rendered speechless.
