It was at ten-thirty in the morning. The private plane landed in City N.
Stella and Clarence went straight to the hospital.
Maxwell, Channing and Caesar were all outside the hospital.
Stella walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, “How is it going?”
Maxwell said, “The surgery has been done, but she…hasn’t woken up yet.”
“What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said…Ms. Perry was bleeding profusely when she was admitted to the hospital…. If she
had any delay, it would be difficult even to save the adult.”
Stella closed her eyes while shivering in fear.
She did not say anything. She just opened the door gently and went into the ward.
Clarence glanced at Maxwell, “Have you found Elaine?”
Maxwell shook his head, “We have already blocked every exit of City N. They can’t get out. What’s
more…they don’t seem to have intended to leave City N in the first place. So, we’re going in the wrong
direction.”
At this moment, a voice was heard next to him, “It’s my fault. If I have brought Elaine away earlier, all
these things won’t happen.”
Clarence turned around and looked at him.
Since Caesar had carried Sherry just now, his shirt was stained with quite a lot of blood. He looked a bit
untidy without his usual courteous appearance.
Caesar was sincere and did not avoid having eye contact with Clarence when Clarence was looking at
him seriously.
…
In the ward, Stella sobbed while looking at Sherry who was lying on the hospital bed. She burst into
tears while biting the back of her hand to avoid making any sound.
Apparently, Sherry was still fine when she called her yesterday.
Sherry had gone for a pregnancy check-up a few days ago. The doctor claimed that the baby in her
belly was very healthy.
However, it had only been a night…
The sunlight shone in through the window, brightening up the entire ward.
The person on the bed made a slight move.
Stella hurriedly wiped off the tears on her face and walked over to her. She whispered, “Sherry, Sherry.”
Sherry opened her eyes weakly and looked around. Then, she only saw Stella who was in front of her
and grinned, “Stella, you’re back.”
Stella nodded, “I’m back. How are you now? Do you feel uncomfortable? I ask the doctor to come over
and take a look.”
“It hurts…”
“Where does it hurt?”
Sherry mumbled, “I don’t know. I just feel that my entire body hurts.”
Stella said softly, “I will find a doctor then.”
She pressed the call bell near the hospital bed after saying that.
Sherry held her hand tightly as she mumbled with her dry lips, “Stella…am I…am I…”
She repeated several times but failed to utter those last few words.
Stella sat by the bed while holding her hand. Before she could say anything, tears dropped from her
eyes. Sherry looked up but she was not too emotional. She said slowly, “I actually felt it. From the car
to the hospital and then to the surgery room, I could feel the baby was losing his life gradually. But I
couldn’t do anything to stop it.”
Stella stroked her hair gently. She sobbed sadly, “Don’t think about this anymore. Get well first.”
Sherry slowly closed her eyes. She buried her face in the pillow while weeping quietly.
Soon, the doctor came in and examined Sherry.
Her current condition was quite normal since she had just gone through surgery. Even though she had
a miscarriage that was not so serious, still she had to recuperate well by avoiding moist, breeze and
spicy food.
The doctor was experienced and advised Sherry, “You’re still young. When you get well, you still can
get a baby.”
After a while, she only uttered, “There won’t be any afterwards.”
She and Daniel had to deal with each other because of this unexpected baby. The baby was gone now,
so they would not have to live together anymore.
The doctor sighed helplessly after hearing that. Then, she gave Stella some advice before leaving.
Stella said after the doctor had left, “Sherry, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you.”
Sherry looked at her, “I want to eat your home-cooked food.”
Stella nodded, “Alright. Wait for a while. I will make it and send it over soon. Clarence is just outside. If
you need help, just call him.”
Sherry replied in a hushed voice, “I reckon I might do better with myself here alone.”
Stella smiled gently, “Channing is outside too. Is it okay to let him stay here with you?”
Sherry shook her head, “Just let them all leave. It's not that big a deal. But it’s a bit scary to have them
all waiting outside.”
Stella wondered, “Then I will let them all go back. If there’s anything, just call the nurse.”
“Okay.”
Stella tucked Sherry in bed before leaving. She leaned against the door and sighed after she had come
out of the ward.
Channing approached her and asked, “How is she now?”
Stella was not quite sure where to start. She just said, “Let her stay alone for a while.”
After pausing for a moment, she continued, “Where are Clarence and the others?”
“They have just gone out.”
Stella said, “I need to go home for a while. Go find a female nurse and tell her to stand by. Tell her to
assist Sherry if Sherry needs help.”
“Got it.”
“You can leave too after the nurse has come.”
Channing nodded his head.
As Stella walked out of the hospital, she called Clarence and informed him that she was going home to
cook.
Clarence said, “Maxwell is right outside. Ask him to drop you off.”
Stella did not refuse, “Alright.”
Just when Stella walked out of the hospital, Maxwell was approaching her, “Ms. Radomil.”
On the way back, Stella said, “Did you follow Sherry and Elaine all the way yesterday?”
Maxwell said, “Yes.”
“What was going on yesterday? Tell me about it.”
“Yesterday afternoon, Caesar came to find Ms. James once. I didn’t know what exactly they were
talking about. But when the studio was closed at night, neither Ms. James nor Ms. Perry left. When she
saw that Ms. James hadn’t left, she just asked her something. Ms. James said that she didn’t want to
get you guys involved. So, she planned to leave City N with Caesar.”
After roughly retelling the conversation between Sherry and Elaine, Maxwell continued, “When Caesar
had arrived shortly, a group of people rushed out all of the sudden. We immediately stopped them but
Caesar had brought Ms. James and Ms. Perry away in the chaos. When we went after them, we saw
Caesar carrying Ms. Perry and he was about to send her to the hospital.”
Stella said, “Where is Elaine now? Is there any news about her?”
“Not yet. But certainly, the group of people who took her with them hasn’t left City N.”
Stella pursed her lips, “How did Caesar describe the incident last night?”
“He claimed that he was taking Ms. James and Sherry away when there was a danger. But he didn't
expect to be intercepted by that group of people. Sherry was trying to protect Ms. James, so that’s
why…”
