Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 56

The whole ward started feeling uneasy. Sherry continued, "I can't change my ward nor leave the hospital. Just let Jessie in."

His eyes looked blank. There was a large gap between them even though he still had her in his arms.

He hesitantly nodded and warned her in an assertive tone, "Don't regret this."

Sherry kept silent and turned her head away from him.

'What a stubborn woman. If I don't give her a hard time, she's never going to learn to give in,' thought Jeremy.

He gloomily got out of the bed and strode out the room.

She felt the space next to her become empty so she shut her eyes tightly. The irritation flowed throughout her body and filled her heart as she her anger built up.

In the middle of the night, Jessie arrived at the ward.

There were two beds in the ward, one by the window and the other by the door. Sherry took the one by the window. After entering the room, Jessie said in dissatisfaction, "I want to sleep by the window."

Sherry heard Jessie complaining but didn't say anything. She just lay with her back towards them and frowned.

Jeremy looked over at Sherry and told Jessie, "It doesn't matter where you sleep."

"Honey, I just want to sleep on that bed! Have a peaceful night by the window," Jessie said sweetly.

Needless to say, Sherry knew Jessie was back to showering him in affection.

Sherry refused to see this disgusting display.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's too late now," he added in a calm voice.

He was waiting for Sherry to warm up to him, and hoped that she would one day be as coquettish as Jessie was now.

If Sherry would just swallow her pride and stop acting like a spoiled child, he would give her everything that he could.

However Sherry still pretended to not hear their words and continued to act as if she was sleeping.

Jeremy knew very well that Sherry wasn't asleep.

"But I can't fall asleep if I sleep here by the door. It's too noisy. Honey...Please..." Jessie said in a softer voice, pouting her lips slightly. She looked like she was about to cry.

Sherry lay across the room with a splitting headache. If Jeremy let her change beds, she'd leave the hospital without a doubt.

She really didn't want to stay with Jessie any longer. Every minute she spent with Jessie made her sick.

Sherry still didn't want to look behind her. She'd be lost for words if she had to see them.

Jeremy hugged Jessie so tightly that she was basically completely supported by his body. She held her arms around his neck and wanted Jeremy to hold her because she said she felt weak and uncomfortable.

They thought this would get a rise out of Sherry but with her back turned, it didn't work at all.

"Listen to me. We'll talk tomorrow," Jeremy said in a gentle voice.

You could hear a hint of irritability in his tone.
