Jackson felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He still couldn't find his wife, and an indescribable feeling started to overwhelm him. He felt that Cherry was so close to his heart, but yet so far.
Suddenly, Jackson's phone rang. He answered it, and said, "Speak!"
"Sir, I just found Mrs. Shen; she's in a flat, " said the soldier on the other side of the line.
"Location, " ordered Jackson.
Jackson was amazed when he heard the address. Didn't Emily live there? He had gone there before.
At that moment, Jackson thought that all this time he had been stupid. He had thought of everyone who Cherry would have gone to, but had forgotten all about her best friend, Emily, the only one that she could rely on anytime that she ever needed.
Jackson calmed down. As long as Cherry was at Emily's house, she was safe. Everything was fine.
He felt relieved, and decided to go there immediately.
Jackson started the car's engine and then drove to Emily's flat.
Meanwhile, Jean arrived at Emily's flat, and hatred sparkled in her eyes. She would let Cherry know what real jealousy felt like.
Jean walked to the door and pressed her finger on the doorbell.
Cherry, who was sitting in the living room, was startled when she heard the doorbell. Emily wasn't at home, and she wondered who it could be.
She stood up from the sofa and decided to open the door.
After she unlocked it, Cherry saw Jean arrogantly standing in front of her.
"You? Why are you here?" asked Cherry, surprised by Jean's unexpected appearance. She had thought that someone would eventually find out where she was, but she had never thought that that person would be Jean.
"So you're really hiding here. This is unexpected, " said Jean. She believed that she had everything in control.
Cherry tried to hide all her emotion, and ask, "Jean, what on earth do you want to do?"
Jean didn't answer Cherry's question, and instead pushed Cherry away and walked inside the flat. She looked around, and asked, "Cherry Shen, it was good that you chose to hide here. No one can find you, not even Jackson."
