Master Odell's Secret Ex-wife by Eggsoup Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178 After the housemaid left the room, Shannon turned to John, "I'm feeling much

better now. Thank you fortaking the time to stay with me.

Why don't you get ready to settle in for the night? You have to work tomorrow, so we should get

some early rest."

She uttered the word'we' with a hint of shyness.

John smiled tenderly, treating her gently as always.

He spoke softly, "You can go to sleep first.

I need to go to the office later to deal with some urgent matters that just came up." 1 Shannon's

face changed.

However, before she could get a word out, John insisted," I’ll leave after you sleep." He put a

hand out and gently touched her forehead.

Shannon pursed his lips and nodded obediently, albeit with a touch of reluctance.

She took his hand into hers and closed her eyes.

John gazed at her silently, his eyes were two pools of still water without the slightest bit of ripple

within them.

After some time had passed, Shannon's breathing took on a slow and steady rhythm.

Only then did he carefully withdraw his hand and rose from the bed.

Shortly after that, his dark and tall figure strode out of the room.

Shannon immediately opened her eyes after he left.

She quickly got out of bed and approached the window.

She carefully pried a tiny gap in between the curtains and peeked outside.

She quickly identified John.

He was now wearing a suit jacket and was heading toward the entrance where he got into a shuttle car.

After he entered, the shuttle car drove off.

Based on the direction he was headed, Shannon could tell that he was leaving for his office.

After the shuttle car had vanished out of sight, Shannon closed the curtains.

Memories of her encounter with Sherry suddenly resurfaced in her mind and filled her with irritation,causing a stern

frown to appear on her face.

She could not have that wretched woman in this place, she was a walking calamity.

She would never have peace as long as that wretched woman was breathing in the same compound as her.

She pondered for a moment before reaching for her phone and dialing Janine's number whom she had saved as

'Mother'.

The shuttle car took a lap around the area and ended up stopping at the block designated for the house servants

andsecurity guards.

John stepped out and walked inside without anyone stopping him.

Shortly after that, he walked into Sherry's room.

The room was pitch black.

He flicked on the lights when he entered and was quickly greeted by the sight of Sherry curled up like a cocoon.

The only part of her body that was visible was the top of her head poking out from under the thick quilt.

He frowned and immediately approached her to tear the quilt away from her.

Sherry was in a deep sleep and was unaware of him pulling the quilt away.

Her cheeks were flushed red like a fresh tomato.

She was frowning even in her sleep and seemed to be in great discomfort.

John carefully pressed his hand against her forehead.

She was burning up.

He darted a glance at the bedside table.

12 There was an empty glass along with a box of medicine for treating fever.

It looked like she had taken two capsules before she slept.

He frowned sternly before turning back to her and carefully patted her cheeks.

Sherry groggily rolled over, away from his hand and continued sleeping.

John sighed and carefully cradled her in his arms.

He grabbed the kettle and filled the empty glass with warm water.

Then, he took a pill out of the box of medicine and stuck it in-between her lips.

Immediately after that, he carefully brought the glass to her lips.

She seemed to be extremely thirsty as she immediately began to drink without any attempts at

resisting.

In no time, she finished the entire glass of water.

John was about to refill the glass for her when she suddenly bit down on the glass.

She ground her teeth against the edge of the glass, producing a soft scratching noise.

Like a starving animal desperate for food...

The entire time, she remained sleeping soundly with her eyes still tightly closed.

John smirked at the sight of this and gently removed the glass from her lips.

1 Sherry continued to gnaw away at the air for several seconds before becoming still again.
