Ice and Fire novel Chapter 512

"Oh, nothing. Why would you ask that?" Sally put on an obviously-feigned expression of innocence before looking at Jackson's wife with contempt. She continued,"We haven't seen each other for quite a while now. I was concerned. How have you been lately?"

"I'm good, thank you for your concern. If there isn't anything else, I'll excuse myself," Cherry replied coldly, turning to leave again.

Sally grabbed Cherry's arm in a vice-like grip before Cherry could leave.

Lily made a dash towards Cherry, trying to shake Sally's hand off.

"Let her go!" she shouted at Sally furiously.

"Why would I ever do that? Now that I've run into her, I won't be letting her leave that easily," Sally snarled.

As they were locked together by Sally's grip, Sally suddenly gave Cherry a hard push, releasing her at the right moment to try to send her sprawling. Lily reacted fast to catch Cherry before she hit the ground.

"Mrs. Cherry, are you alright?" Lily asked hastily, looking anxious.

"I...I'm fine, thank you, Lily," Cherry replied, catching her breath.

Lily's brows furrowed further. "Is the baby okay?" Lily fretted. As she watched Cherry panting from her altercation, Lily feared something might happen to the unborn baby.

Meanwhile, Sally had frozen in astonishment. She stared at Cherry dumbfounded.

"Are you pregnant now?" Sally asked in disbelief. 'How could it be possible? I even haven't thought of a plan to handle her son. But now she is having another child. What am I supposed to do now?' she wondered.

Cherry stared icily into Sally's eyes, not intending to answer her question. 'Why should I tell her anything? She doesn't deserve that, and she's got nothing to do with me anyway, ' Cherry told herself silently.

"My lady, are you really okay? How about I give Mr. Jackson a call?" Lily continued, ignoring Sally. She put a soft hand on Cherry's arm.

"There is no need, thank you. He's busy now. I'm really fine. I don't feel any discomfort at all," Cherry answered. 'Although Jackson asked me to call him if I met any trouble, I don't want to interrupt his work with this. I believe I can handle Sally myself.'
