Chapter 54 - Sheri Hoal (2/2)

Sheri deepens her frown when he stood there in their grave.

Sheri followed him home to know more about what happened to Janice and him.

When he went home. His whole mansion was pitch black. He is the only one who lives there. He went straight to his bed and tried to sleep. Sleep can't visit him no matter how he tried.

Sheri observed him every day.

He lay on his bed every night but wasn't able to sleep. Sometimes he sleeps but only for 4 hours. He always had a nightmare in the middle of the night.

Sheri approached him she wanted to know his dreams, but she can't see it.

Every morning he goes to work. He eats and tried to sleep.

One day his grandma visits him.

”What are you doing to your self.” his grandma asked.

” I'm alright grandma. Devon said.

”You're not ok, look at you. Are you trying to kill your self?” his grandma said.

Devon gently spoke ”no grandma I'm really ok,” he said. In reality, he wanted to pay for his sins toward Sheri by living while dying. He desperately wanted to pay the price. He even gives 50 percent of his companies share toward the family of Sheri to compensate them for what he did.

Her family was shocked when they received an attorney from Goori corporation. Sven didn't mention it toward their parents due to their condition. At first, they refuse it, but Devon makes sure they will accept it.

Devon allegedly wanted to suffer until his last breath. As years go by Sheri saw everything that happened in his life.

He divorced Janice and gives her money since they didn't have a prenup. Devon didn't care as long he will never saw her again. Sheri saw how Janice keeps on begging Devon to take her back. She keeps on apologizing by phone or visiting him in his company. Devon asked an attorney for a restraint order and it was granted. Since then Sheri didn't see Janice anymore.

Another year has gone by Sheri saw how he slowly tormented himself. He almost killed himself when he went through a hard depression, but he keeps on living remembering about Sheri. He never stops visiting her graveyard. To remind him how foolish he is to involve an innocent life. Thinking that Janice was a two-faced person. One day he found out he has a brain tumor.

He has constant pain in his head due to, he cannot sleep. He merely went for a check-up and found out he has a maligning tumor. They advise him to go for an operation, but he never did. His condition has gotten worse, but he didn't care.

On the other side.

Sheri was gazing at his grizzled face. He becomes so feeble. Her grandma and parents were much concern they desperately tried to talk to him for an operation, but he obstinately refuses. He keeps on saying sternly he deserves it.

One dreary day Devon went toward the cemetery where Eric and Sheri were buried. He was so frail. His stamina has gone so bad. He was looking at the grave of Eric.

”You're so fortunate, you had someone who loved you but who would have thought that....” he stops talking when his head throb in pain.

Sheri doesn't know what to feel. She is conflicted. While thinking Sheri suddenly heard like a transmitting electronic sound is trying to speak. Sheri tried listening where it's coming from.

”Host, I've finally found you” The mechanical voice speak.

”I need to get you out in this world ASAP.” He urgently said.

”Oh... Sheri was supposed to get angry at the mechanical voice when one corner of her eye saw someone that it seems he's looking at her. He looked at her dumbfounded and was supposed to run toward her. When he tried to reach her. She already vanished.

When Sheri waked up at the void space. ”What was that for?” Sheri asked her self.

”Sorry host no time to explain we need you now to the next mission.” the system said.

”What the... Wait” Sheri wasn't able to finish her sentence when she was surrounded with bright light.
