Anybody who listened to it would realize his words were very suspicious.
Maxwell said, “Ms. Radomil, don’t worry. Mr. Conrad is already investigating this incident. Caesar is now under our
surveillance.”
Stella nodded and leaned against the car window. She was looking at the scenery outside the window.
She asked Maxwell to drop her at the supermarket near her apartment. She wanted to buy some groceries before
going back home.
By the time she finished cooking, it was already one o’clock at noon.
Stella had prepared some fish soup and two other dishes. Then, she put them into the food containers and rushed
back to the hospital.
Upon her arrival, the nurse was sitting there outside the ward.
Stella walked over and whispered, “How is she now?”
The nurse shook her head, “I heard her crying quietly all the time. So, I didn’t go in.”
Stella pursed her lips and said to the nurse, “Thank you for your help. You can go and rest now. I will contact you if I
need your help.”
“Okay.”
She had already paid for the nurse. She just let the nurse have a rest since there was nothing she could help with
either.
After the nurse had left, Stella stood outside the door for a few minutes and took a deep breath. She knocked on
the door, “Sherry, I’m coming in.”
After saying that, she purposely waited for a minute before entering the ward.
In the ward, Sherry had already calmed herself down. Apart from her red swollen eyes, she looked fine.
As she watched Stella opening the food container, she took a sniff, “What did you cook. It smells so nice.”
Stella put all the food out from the container on the overbed table, “All your favourites.”
Sherry picked up her chopsticks, “Wow, it looks really tasty.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella sat next to her, “What else do you want to eat tonight?”
Sherry said while eating, “I will just have the meal prepared by the hospital tonight. I don't want you to run back and
forth. It’s too troublesome.”
“There's nothing troublesome. Didn’t you stay with me too when I was hospitalized?” Stella said, “Eat quickly. Don’t
wait until it gets cold.”
Sherry did not say anything. She lowered her head and drank the soup.
Even though she did not have an appetite, still she managed to eat as much as she could.
After Sherry finished eating, she lay on the bed while rubbing her stomach. She was satisfied, “It’s really delicious.
Stella, your cooking skill is getting even better.”
“I will make it for you again tonight.”
“Okay. I should find a menu and order one by one. Such deal doesn’t come around often.”
Stella tidied and packed her food container, “You can think of what you want to eat first. I will go and wash the
dishes.”
When Stella came back after five minutes, she saw Sherry staring blankly on the bed. She wondered what she was
thinking about.
Stella approached her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sherry regained her sense and said, “I might have…dropped my phone on Caesar’s car.”
While saying that, Sherry asked hurriedly, “How is Elaine now? Has she been found?”
Stella said, “She is not found yet. But they still haven’t left City N.”
Stella poured her a glass of water, “Sherry, do you still remember what happened last night after you two had
left?”
Sherry nodded, “I wanted to call Emmett but Caesar suddenly braked the car. So, I dropped my phone. He said that
there was a wild cat in front of the car. Then…”
“What happened then?”
“Then, Elaine noticed that I was bleeding. So, she asked Caesar to send me to the hospital.”
As Sherry said, she frowned and recalled carefully, “It was an emergency but Caesar didn’t take it seriously. At that
moment, those people chased after us and stopped our car. I told Elaine to escape quickly…”
“They said they had come here to bring Elaine back to Riverside City. Elaine claimed that she would go with them if
they let go of Caesar and me. After a short while, somebody came and dragged Elaine away. Then, I was pushed
onto the ground. I don’t remember what happened afterwards since I was unconscious.”
Stella frowned, “What was Caesar doing when Elaine was taken away by them?”
Sherry thought for a while but could not recall it already. She rubbed her temples and said, “The scene was too
chaotic. My attention was all on Elaine. I didn’t even pay much attention to Caesar. But when I was unconscious, I
heard her keep yelling at her uncle to send me to the hospital. Was he the one who sent me here?”
Stella said, “Maxwell said that when they arrived, they saw Caesar carrying you and was about to send you to the
hospital.”
Sherry said, “There shouldn’t be any problem then. I did think her uncle was weird before that and I wasn’t sure
about letting Elaine go with him. But now, it seems that he is fine.”
Stella handed a glass of water to her, “Take a rest for a while.”
Sherry drank the water and said, “Stella, where’s the present you have brought for me?”
“It’s in the car. I will go and bring it here for you later.”
Sherry hugged her arm and acted cute, “You’re the best. I want you to stay here with me for the next few days. I
want to hire you from Mr. Conrad.”
Stella smiled, “Alright, I will stay with you.”
Sherry said, “Then go and get me my present. I will take a nap first. Hopefully, I will be surprised when I wake up.”
Stella nodded gently, “I will be back soon.”
“Go ahead. I’m sleepy after eating. I need to sleep now.”
Only when the door to the ward was closed, Sherry dropped her smile. She lay on the bed while staring at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwindow blankly.
Sherry knew that Stella was blaming herself and felt guilty about her miscarriage.
If she kept refusing Stella’s company, it would only make Stella feel even more upset.
At this moment, it would be better to let her help with everything so that she could feel that she was needed. In this
case, she would not feel so guilty.
Sherry closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Since the past is irrevocable, then…let bygones be bygones.
After waking up from sleep, it would be a new beginning.
…
When she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Stella had no idea which car the luggage was actually placed in.
Ever since she knew that something had happened to Sherry, she had been in a trance on the way back. If
Clarence did not lead her, she might not even be able to find the hospital entrance.
The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon. She felt dizzy and could hardly open her eyes.
Stella was slightly staggering and she almost fell.
Clarence held her shoulder and said softly, “What are you looking for?”
Stella said, “Our luggage…The present I brought for Sherry is inside.”
“Go and eat first. I will ask Maxwell to get it.”
“No way. Sherry is alone in the ward, I…”
Clarence said, “You haven’t eaten anything since last night. If you faint, do you want me to take care of her?”
Stella was speechless.
She gave in since eating was equally important.
They sat down in a restaurant. Clarence served some soup for Stella, “Eat and sleep before you return there. I have
assigned somebody to monitor at the ward.”
Stella remained silent for a few seconds before she whispered, “I think there’s something wrong with
Caesar.”
