Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 48

"Why are you so stubborn?" Jeremy sighed, not knowing what else to say. He just focused his energy on driving as fast and as steadily as possible.

After a while, Jeremy's phone started ringing. It kept ringing and ringing but Jeremy wasn't even considering answering it.

This irritated Sherry so she said coldly, "Can't you just hang up the phone?"

Upon hearing this, Jeremy nervously raised his eyebrows. In a hurry, he took his phone out as if he was afraid of being scolded further.

It was Steve who was calling. After hesitating for a while, he answered it.

"Jeremy, which hospital did you take Sherry to? I'm coming," Steve said anxiously.

Hearing that Steve seemed to be in such a hurry, Jeremy was a bit displeased. He answered indifferently, "City Central Hospital."

Jeremy was a step ahead of them anyway and he drove quite fast. Steve only delayed for a while but when he came out, Jeremy and Sherry had already left.

"Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Steve slammed his foot on the gas pedal, speeding off.

Chester sped up and followed closely behind it.

Finally, Jeremy arrived at the City Central Hospital. Even though it was relatively near the venue, he still felt like it took forever for them to get here.

He got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and looked at Sherry.

Her hair was sticking to her since she was sweating profusely. Her lips were bitten and she was horribly pale.

With great concern, Jeremy bent over to unfasten her seat belt and carried her out of the car.

Sherry shrank into his arms. Even the slightest movement was very painful for her so she slightly hissed, "Hmm..."

"We're already in the hospital. You just have to wait a little while more. You'll be fine soon," Jeremy tried to comfort her in a soft voice.

In a trance, she was in a haze as she looked at Jeremy.

'It's Jeremy and even after everything, he can still comfort me with that soft voice of his. Interesting.'

Still, that didn't change the fact that she didn't care anymore.

Sherry was in a daze as she noticed Jeremy's blood-stained clothes.

When the nurses saw Jeremy's blood-stained shirt, they were shocked. They hurried over to him and asked, "Sir, are you hurt?"

Jeremy was much more relaxed now. He explained softly, "It's not my blood. It's hers. Please help her."

Outside the treatment room, Jeremy sat on a bench. The nurses that passed by decided to give him some water and tissue.

Before long, Steve and Chester had arrived at hospital. As soon as Jeremy saw Chester, he became serious.

"What happened? How long has she been in there?" Steve asked anxiously, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

In contrast, Jeremy was much calmer. "Just a while ago. She should be coming out soon."

For a while, Steve kept pacing back and forth. Finally, he settled on the bench where Jeremy was.

All three men looked grim as they tried to suppress their anxiety about the situation. Steve sighed as he muttered, "Why isn't the doctor coming out yet?"

They were all worried about Sherry and every second that passed was torture to them.

Lying on the bed, Sherry felt as if she was about to collapse from the pain.

The bright lights slightly blinded Sherry. The doctor was dabbing her wound with cotton that was soaked in alcohol. After which, he carefully ripped the skin off from her back.

The wound was deep as the glass had sunk into her flesh, puncturing several blood vessels.

She had about three wounds as several shards of glass punctured her back.

"I'm going to take out the fragments now. If you feel pain, you can shout so that you'll feel better," the doctor said to her.

Sherry shook her head and said, "I'm fine, doctor. You can start."

Her voice was trembling as she spoke. No matter what she said, it was still going to hurt anyway.

Some women would scream even with a small cut, not to mention that so many pieces of fragments had been stabbed in her back.

As the doctor carefully took out shard after shard, Sherry felt as if she was going to faint from the pain.

Tears almost filled her eyes but she shook her head, trying to be composed.

She took a deep breath as she tried to recall the fragments of her past.

What kind of pain was it? This wasn't painful at all.

She still remembered the days when she was tortured to death. Those painful memories hardened her guts.

Jeremy had caused her so much pain. His cruelty, his coldness, and his words made her heart ache.

She was so silly back then. She loved everything about him beyond reason. She would smile when he did which was rare. She would be upset when he got angry at her. It was almost as if she was his doll.

Fortunately, she had endured the pain. If it weren't for his ruthlessness, she wouldn't be as strong as she was now.

Internal scars were much worse than physical ones. Now that her internal scars were already healed, no one could hurt her anymore.

She felt another shard of glass being taken out once more.

Sherry buried her face in the pillow, her hair haphazardly sticking to her neck and face. Despite all of this, she still didn't complain about the pain.
