Ice and Fire novel Chapter 160

Walking out of the coffee house, Cherry felt that she could hardly stand up straight, so she sat down on the sidewalk's curb. Sitting alone in the darkness, she felt very vulnerable, and didn't know what to do next. She wanted to cry.

She panicked, and thought that she didn't know Jackson anymore. His character was now obscure to her, and Sally's words still echoed loud in her ears.

After a long while, Cherry started to feel cold, and then she started to shiver and wrapped her arms around her, that was when she realized that it was late.

Cherry then pulled out her phone and dialed Wilson's number.

He quickly answered, "Hi, Cherry."

"Wilson, have you gone to sleep yet?" asked Cherry hoarsely.

"No, not yet, " answered Wilson. He could tell that something was wrong with Cherry, and continued, "Are you alright? Where are you?"

Hearing Wilson's soft voice, Cherry couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears. Sobbing, she said, "Wilson, can you come to pick me up?"

"Tell me where you are, I'm coming right now!"

After about half an hour, Wilson pulled over at the sidewalk where Cherry was freezing. Seeing Cherry's thin figure alone in the darkness made his heart ache.

Wilson strode to Cherry, took off his coat, and gently put it on Cherry.

"Wilson..." Cherry immediately felt the warmth in her heart, and as she looked at Wilson and called out his name, tears started to flow down her cheeks.

Wilson wanted to know what had happened, but when he saw Cherry in such a bad state, he lost all of his words.

Wilson then crouched down and gently took Cherry in his arms. He then tenderly said, "You don't have to worry anymore, I'm here for you."

Laying in Wilson's arms, Cherry suddenly jerked away from him, and asked, "Where's Joe? Is he at home?"

When Wilson saw how worried Cherry was, he hastily replied, "Yes, yes, please, don't worry."

Cherry's head was filled with what Sally had said to her. She then roughly grabbed Wilson's arm, and said, "Wilson, let's go, let's go home now."

"Okay, okay." Wilson didn't know what else to say to Cherry when he saw her in that awful state, and just followed her words without questioning.

After she arrived back home, Cherry rushed into the living room before she had time to even change into her slippers. She felt relieved when she saw that Joe was playing in Elsa's arms and hurriedly stepped over to them.

"Joe, " cried Cherry.

"Mommy, mommy!" When he saw that his Mommy was back, Joe instantly pulled away from Elsa and ran towards Cherry.

She bent over and caught Joe in her arms tightly. As long as her son was safe, everything was fine.
