Chapter 65 Its Linda (1/2)

Sherry went for a stroll in the garden outside the hospital and then headed over to the ward Jeremy was staying in.

She had no idea whether Jessie would be there or not. And in case Jessie was indeed still there, she would have to talk with Jeremy.

When she swung the door open, she stumbled upon Jeremy sitting on the bed and fiddling with his phone.

Despite the fact that he was wearing a loose-fitting hospital gown, Jeremy still looked rather arrogant and strong.

The second Sherry pushed the door open, she heard his cold voice. ”Didn't I tell you to get out?”

Letting out a deep sigh, Sherry calmly said, ”Since you want me to get out, I guess I'll just leave.”

Hearing this, Jeremy suddenly raised his head to check who it was. When he found out that it was Sherry, his tone immediately shifted and he said, ”Sherry! Don't go! Come back!”

Sherry was still standing at the door and curtly replied, ”Didn't you just ask me to leave? I'll do as you say and leave right away.”

Left at such a loss for words, he was about to jump out of bed and embrace her, but he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be ”seriously injured” right now. So, all he could do was feign his disability and lie in bed, whining, ”I thought it was Jessie who came back again. I wasn't asking you to leave. Come over and sit next to me.”

After keeping silent for a moment, Sherry did as he asked and walked toward him.

”Where have you been? What took you so long to get here?” he asked, wearing a frown on his face.

”There's something I have to tell you,” Sherry said, completely ignoring his words and changing the subject. ”I have requested for an extended leave of absence, and I've almost fully recovered already. It's time for me to come back to work.”

With his eyebrows deeply knit, Jeremy repeated, ”You are planning to go back to work?”

”Yes, you can rest assured that I will hire a good nursing aide to take care of you, and I'll be visiting you at the hospital after work,” Sherry went on and added, worried that he might not agree with it.

”No, I don't agree.” Sure enough, he didn't agree and flat out refused.

Hearing his response, Sherry calmly told him, ”Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to take care of you. I just think that you don't have to be looked after all the time anymore. And even if anything comes up, you can just call the nurse to assist you.”

”No, I can't let you do that. Why do you still care so much about your stupid job anyway? Are you saying that it's more important than me?”

'Stupid job?' Sherry let out a soft chuckle and pondered to herself, 'In his mind, his business is important. But he thinks that my job is insignificant?'

This should hardly be surprising given how he had always been so overbearing and selfish. It wouldn't make sense to expect a selfish man such as him to be tolerant and generous.

”Yes, my job is more important than you,” Sherry blurted out.

This caused his face to darken in an instant, making him look so gloomy.

Seeing the look on his face, Sherry tried to remain calm, acting as though she didn't notice it at all.

That being said, he held back his anger and said in a calm tone, ”Do you really have to do this?

Why do you have to say such a thing? How could you be so heartless?”

”Well, you should go have a good rest. I'm leaving now.” Upon saying those words, Sherry turned around and left right away.

”Sherry, come back!” Jeremy suddenly pulled the quilt off of him and tried to stop her from leaving.
