Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 51

At this moment, Jeremy's phone suddenly rang. The sound echoed in the hospital walls.

He wasn't really in the mood to answer his phone as he was pretty preoccupied at the moment. However, he noticed that the nurse's hand was trembling as he let his phone continue ringing.

"If you don't plan on answering your phone, just hang up. I hate the sound," said Sherry. Sherry felt a sharp pain in her head when she heard the ringtone. She lifted her hands to touch her head all the while grimacing. This did not go unnoticed by Jeremy.

Worried about Sherry, Jeremy quickly answered the call so that it would stop ringing. The nurse couldn't help but notice Jeremy's concern for Sherry that she thought to herself, 'Wow she's so lucky to have a man like him.'

He was greeted by Barry's anxious voice. "Sir, Mr. Wu's secretary just called. He has already approved our project. He'll be signing the contract soon."

Upon hearing this, Jeremy became flustered. He glanced at Sherry who was lying on her stomach on the hospital bed. "I got it. I'll be there soon," Jeremy inaudibly whispered in his phone.

He made sure that his voice was low enough in order to not disturb Sherry. However, it seemed that she had still heard him.

"What's up?" Sherry asked weakly.

"There's something urgent that I need to deal with," Jeremy replied calmly. He didn't want Sherry to be worrying about anything else but her own health.

"Well, go ahead! I'm fine now," Sherry replied. She knew that he wouldn't leave unless she assured him that she was fine. Sherry being reasonable was something that both amused and annoyed Jeremy. 'She just wants me to leave,' he thought to himself.

"Rest well. I'll be back as soon as I'm done," he said, knowing that she wouldn't let him stay anyway. He promised himself that he was going to try to come back as soon as he could. Jeremy walked towards Sherry's beside and leaned over to affectionately caress her hair. He then bent over to plant a kiss on her forehead.

In a frail voice, she said with anger, "You should go to work. Take your time. I'm fine, can't you see?"

Helplessly, he finally said, "I have to go."

"Bye," Sherry replied simply.

Jeremy first walked towards the nurse and gave her a few reminders. After which, he picked up his coat on the sofa, put it on, and let out a sigh. When he left the room, all he was thinking was that he needed to return right away.

The nurse changed Sherry's dressing after Jeremy left. When she was done, she left too leaving Sherry all alone in the room.

Sherry was still lying on her stomach, remaining motionless. If she moved, the wound might open up and that would be excruciatingly painful so she tried her best to stay still and just rest.

Just as she was about to drift off, she suddenly heard the door open. Startled, she opened her eyes.

Momentarily stunned by the sound of heels clicking on the floor, she immediately knew that whoever just entered the room was definitely not Jeremy.

Sherry rolled over the bed and tried to sit properly. The figure standing in front of her was wearing a pair of high heels inlaid with diamonds and a tight black skirt. When she looked up, she was met with Jessie's angry face.

Jessie's slender figure was accentuated by her tight dress. Coupled with her glamorous make-up, she could have any man she wanted. Jessie knew what her appeal was and it was evident in how she presented herself.
