During the ride, Sherry ignored her escorts. She checked her phone and was stunned to find the group chat had turned her into the subject of their betting pool.

What surprised her even more was something Melissa had said.

The moment Sherry entered the hospital, the crowd automatically made way for her.

As she walked through the path they created-

A familiar hand came at her face, swift and heavy like a whip.

It was followed by a stream of curses. “Sherry, you cursed woman! Look what you’ve done to my son! He’s badly hurt-you better take care of him day and night! If I hadn’t sent for you today, you wouldn’t have come at all, would you?

“You’ve really got some nerve!”

Watching that hand swing toward her—

The first time, she hadn’t been ready. The second time, she never saw it coming. But there wouldn’t be a third time. No one in this world had the right to hit her anymore.

Sherry moved without thinking and caught the wrist mid-air.

She squeezed hard, making Lore cry out in pain. When Sherry finally released her grip, Lore’s wrist was already turning purple.

Lore couldn’t believe it. She’d thought Sherry’s backtalk the other day was just because she’d been drinking.

And since she couldn’t see Sherry in person when she called, that was why Sherry dared to say those things.

After all, every time Sherry saw her in person, she’d start trembling and obey every command.

Today, Lore had been determined to put Sherry in her place.

“Have you lost your

mind? I have every right to hit you-how dare you fight back?” Lore pointed at Wendy, who was fussing over Gilbert, carefully wiping his face with a towel.

Her voice turned sweet as she said, “Look at Wendy. Ever since the accident, she’s been right by Gilbert’s side, taking care of him day and night. And you? You’ve been living comfortably at home!

“You can’t even fulfill your duties as a wife. How do you have the nerve to keep living?”

Lore was about to explode with anger.

She’d never liked Sherry from the start, and now she was sure her instincts had been right. She’d always been good at judging people.

“Please don’t say that. This is what I should do. If it helps take care of Gilbert, I’ll do anything. Not just 24 hours-I’d go without food or water for seven days if I had to. I’ll stay by his side whether I live or die.”

Wendy looked even paler than Gilbert, who had just woken up.

People around them started praising Wendy, calling her loyal and devoted, while treating Sherry like a criminal.

Even Gilbert’s eyes showed disappointment.

Sherry looked around at their faces and smiled coldly. “Wendy, why don’t we check the security footage to prove you’ve been here 24 hours a day with your Gilbert? What do you say?”

From the time of the accident until now, Wendy had only shown up after Gilbert woke up, just to put on a show of caring.

If they checked the security footage, her act would be completely exposed.

“No!”

The word escaped before she could stop it, and Wendy immediately knew she’d made a mistake.

Sure enough, the crowd’s expression changed. After all that praise, it turned out she’d been lying.

“You little liar, you thought you could fool me?” Once Lore got angry, she didn’t care who she was yelling

Wendy realized she was trapped. She bit her lip, completely humiliated, until a pair of large hands reached out to gently pat her head.

“Wendy just had stitches in her head, okay?” Gilbert’s voice was calm. “I’ve been in surgery most of the time-she couldn’t even get close to me. She’s done more than enough. Let me ask everyone here: if you had a dozen stitches on your scalp, could you still take care of someone else?”

He was praising Wendy.

But to Wendy, there was no warmth in Gilbert’s eyes. No real gratitude.

There was a coldness about him, like death itself. The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

Fair enough-she had suffered quite a bit.

“Unlike some people who keep the title of wife but don’t do a wife’s duties.” Gilbert looked at Sherry, unable to hide his disappointment any longer.

Back in the day, even if he just had a slight cold, Sherry would panic, using every method she knew to nurse him back to health.
