Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 55

Sherry seemed to be in a daze as she stared at the box. After a while, it seemed that she'd finally made a decision.

She grabbed her phone and started looking for contact numbers of charities—perhaps she could donate the jewelry to them.

It would be a waste if she kept it so she opted to donate it in under Steve's name.

In the evening, Sherry took her medicine after eating her dinner. Not wanting to play on her phone anymore, she decided to read the book that Chester had brought her.

The nurse helped her turn on the TV which only showed a boring comedy.

After switching through several channels, Sherry suddenly caught sight of a familiar name. She quickly switched back to that channel.

It was the finance channel. She'd been watching on this channel for a while now. As she read the headline, she was shocked. "Mr. Gu has abandoned millions as his girlfriend is rumored to be in the hospital and pregnant."

Millions? Girlfriend rumored to be pregnant?

A sense of fear rose in her heart.

She didn't know what to make of this. If it came out on the news that she was Jeremy's girlfriend, the trouble it could cause was unimaginable.

How could someone as smart as him give up millions for her?

Just in time, the news started broadcasting.

"At 9 o'clock this morning, Mr. Wu, CEO of the HS Group, headed to B City for a 10-million dollar contract signing with the Ou Group. Many companies had expressed their interest in working with the HS Group. In the end, the Ou Group was chosen."

The reporter droned on as Sherry turned up the volume, listening carefully.

"The contract indicated that the Ou Group will officially establish a cooperative relationship with the HS Group in the future..."

They were showing Jeremy on screen now. He was dressed in a suit, his face unreadable. The moment he faced the camera, the camera quickly shifted away.

He stood tall, his hair coiffed making him look more handsome than ever. It certainly helped that he had sharp eyebrows and a high nose. He exuded a vibe that was intimidating as if he didn't want anyone looking him in the eye.

A group of people was following behind him, all wearing identical suits. They all walked in unison, all looking handsome.

"Mr. Wu had to postpone the meeting for two hours because his flight was delayed. However, Mr. Gu left only after waiting for less than half an hour, stating that he had private affairs to attend to. His senior executives were left behind as he had left alone."

Upon hearing this, Sherry was stunned. When she checked the date of the news, she thought how Jeremy had visited her at the hospital that day.

Did he come to see her? Did he give up this valuable cooperation for her?

He should know how profitable this cooperation would be in the near future. But why? Just for her?

For a while, Sherry was moved by this gesture. However, it was gone as soon as it came.

All of a sudden, Jessie appeared on the screen.

"Later, photos of Miss Liang, Mr. Ou's girlfriend, in a hospital circulated online. Not long after, Mr. Ou arrived in the same hospital. Naturally, people speculated that Miss Liang was the rumored pregnant girlfriend. People were surprised that Mr. Ou would give up such a valuable cooperation for the sake of his girlfriend. In other news..."

Sherry suddenly recalled that Jessie was in the hospital that morning.

It wasn't normal for the finance channel to report news on anything that wasn't business or finance-related.

Sherry switched the channel to one that reported gossip. Meanwhile, she took her phone out to check Jessie's microblog account.

When she saw Jessie's first blog, she was momentarily stunned before a bitter smile slowly appeared on her face.

Jessie wrote, "I have been feeling unwell these days. Unexpectedly, I fainted at home this morning, so I was sent to the hospital. I hope I feel better soon."

Upon reading this, Sherry didn't know how to feel.

Although Jessie didn't explicitly say she was pregnant, it was obvious that she was trying to get the rumor mill running by saying these things. After all, that was how gossip worked: people making up things based on small details.

With this blog, most journalists were almost certain that the reason why Jeremy gave up such a valuable cooperation was because of Jessie.

It was all for Jessie. Whenever it came to Jessie, he'd always been good to her.

She was so stupid to believe that Jeremy had come for her. She felt pathetic for even assuming that.

When she saw Jessie, she didn't even seem sick! Even if Jessie was in fact lying, Jeremy would still come to visit her.

It was obvious that Jessie was just trying to make Jeremy worried about her which resulted to him giving up something so valuable for her.

Sherry already knew that she wasn't going to rest well that night.

As much as she wanted to ignore this, she couldn't ignore the knot in her heart. Despite having told herself countless times that she didn't care, there was still a small part of her did.

She rested her head on the pillow and buried her face in it. She caught a whiff of Jeremy's scent so she quickly threw that one aside and grabbed another pillow that didn't have Jeremy's scent on it.

Every night, a nurse would visit the ward and that night was no exception.

But tonight, the nurse seemed a little unhappy as she entered the room.

"What's wrong?" Sherry asked upon noticing the grimace on the nurse's face.

"Ah, we have a new patient. Even though there are so many other available wards, she insisted on staying in this one," the nurse said with resignation.

Speechless, Sherry couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that this had something to do with Jessie. "Why did she insist on staying in this ward?"
