Stella remembered that Sherry’s phone was still in Caesar’s car. So, she nodded, “Alright, I got it.”
Sherry waved at her and said, “Stella, take care.”
“I am leaving now. Don’t move around. The caretaker is at the door. You just call her if you need help.”
Sherry blew a kiss to her, “Don’t worry. I can lie in bed for a day.”
After leaving the ward, Stella took out her phone. Then, she searched for Caesar’s phone number and
called him.
The phone rang for a long time before he answered.
Stella spoke to him directly, “Mr. James, my friend’s phone is still in your car. Can I go fetch it?”
Caesar thought for a while before he replied to her, “I have sent my car for repair. I will ask someone to
look for your friend’s phone and send it to her if they find it. Is your friend okay now?”
“Thanks for your concern, Mr. James. Her situation is not good.”
Caesar sighed and apologized, “I am sorry, I should take responsibility for this matter.”
Stella spoke lightly, “How could it be? I forgot to thank you for sending my friend to the hospital. I think
she might have been in a more dangerous situation if she didn’t get help from you.”
“You are welcome, Miss Radomil. It's the least I could do.”
Stella also did not want to talk nonsense with him. Thus, she spoke straight to the point, “Mr. James,
you just need to send the phone to the reception. I still have something to do so I have to go now. Bye”
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Stella kept her phone and went into the car. Just as she got into the car, she noticed that Clarence was
sitting inside and waiting for her.
He glanced at Stella’s stiffened eyebrows and spoke softly, “Who are you talking to on the phone? You
look so angry.”
Stella said, “Caesar, Sherry’s phone is still with him.”
“I’ll ask Maxwell to go get it.”
“Thanks, but I have asked him to send it over here. You just need to let someone pick it up later.”
Clarence replied, “Okay.”
...
Winnie was recognized by two fans just as she entered the hospital.
Thus, she went upstairs via the escape route instead of the elevator.
Sherry’s ward was on the eighth floor. She was gasping for breath after reaching the sixth floor.
Then, she continued to walk upstairs after taking a rest for a few seconds.
When Winnie stepped on the eighth floor, she looked up subconsciously. At that moment, she saw a
man who was also looking at her in silence.
Winnie was speechless.
What a coincidence.
She glanced at the cigarette’s tip that had just been extinguished. Then, she walked upstairs and asked
like nothing had happened, “How is Sherry.”
Channing placed his hand in his pants pocket, “She is resting in the ward.”
Finally, Winnie reached the eighth floor. She panted for a short while before she asked, “Aren’t you
going in?”
“Later.”
Winnie fanned herself with her hand. After that, she leaned against the wall to take a rest, “Well, I'll
enter the ward later too.”
Channing looked at her, “Is it hot?”
Winnie nodded and said, “A bit.”
Channing was looking at her. He noticed that the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat at the
moment.
Out of the blue, he made a move. Next, he lifted his hand and removed the mask from her face gently.
This was truly unexpected for Winnie, as her pupils could not help dilating, while she just stared at him
blankly at the moment.
After having eye contact for a few seconds, Channing looked to another side. He handed her the mask
that was removed by him and said, “Wearing a mask while exercising will easily cause the lack of
oxygen.”
Winnie regained her consciousness and took it back, “Oh, thank you.”
Channing asked, “Is it still hot?”
“Yes… a little.”
“I’ll get you a bottle of water.”
After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
“Eh, no...”
However, Channing had left there before Winnie finished speaking.
She was standing there with her hand gripping the mask. Then, she looked at the cigarette butt next to
her again.
After a long time, she exhaled a long breath.
Winnie was sitting in front of the door of Sherry’s ward when Channing came back from buying a bottle
of water for her.
Channing uncrewed the cap and handed the bottle to her.
Winnie reached out to take it from him, “Thank you.”
Then, she got up with the water and pointed to the ward, “Shall we go in?”
“You can enter the ward now. I am not going in.”
Winnie was puzzled, “Why?”
“It is not suitable for me to do so. It is fine. As long as I know that she is alright, that’s enough for me. I
am leaving now. Bye.”
“Bye.”
Winnie looked back at the ward after Channing left. She pushed open the door.
Sherry was sitting on the bed. It seemed that she was looking out through the window in a daze.
When she heard the sound of the door, she thought Stella had come back. Thus, she composed her
emotions and turned her head hurriedly. But it turned out to be Winnie. She was stunned for a while
before she asked, “Why are you here?”
Winnie replied, “I went to your studio this morning. I heard that you are in trouble and I could not reach
Stella. So, I looked for Nathan. He was the one who told me about your situation. How are you?”
Sherry lowered her head and smiled, “I am fine.”
Winnie knew that she was far from being fine. But, since Sherry was not willing to tell her, she did not
mean to probe on that. She just said, “By the way, Channing came here too. He stayed at the door just
now but did not come in. He said that he was satisfied as long as he knew that you are alright.”
Sherry asked, “So, he’s gone now?”
Winnie nodded, “Yes, he left when I came in.”
They chatted for a while. Then, Sherry asked, “Does that bastard come to harass you again?”
“No.”
“That’s great. He had become obedient after leaning his lesson.”
Winnie was staying in the ward and accompanying Sherry before Stella came back to deliver dinner to
Sherry. After that, she left the ward.
Winnie took out her mask after leaving the ward. But before putting it on, she was staring at it blankly
for a few seconds.
What a Casanova. Besides being good-looking, he also knew how to make a girl's heart flutter.
Winnie’s assistant sent the itinerary to her on the way back. There was still a month before the shooting
of her new show. Before that, she also needed to join a press launch and two commercial shoots.
Thus, she was neither too free nor too busy.
Winnie leaned on the seat and slowly closed her eyes.
She let the driver and her assistant get off after the car arrived at the basement. Then, she went into
the lift by herself.
When the lift was going up slowly, she recalled that she had broken a cup accidentally in the morning.
Since she also wanted to buy more toiletries and it was still early, she went to the first floor again. She
planned to go shopping in the mall.
The sun had just set. There was still a trace of the afterglow hanging in the sky.
Suddenly, Winnie was stopped by someone just as she stepped out of the residential area and was
about to go shopping.
Chassell who looked gloomy appeared in front of her out of nowhere. His pale face indicated that he
just recovered from illness. He spoke to her in his cold voice, “I have been waiting here for a few days.
Finally, you show up.”
Winnie took a step back when she saw him. Then, she looked at him, expressionless.
“I am warning you. Do not play any trick if you don't wish to end up in hell. Do you know that I have
suffered a lot due to you?”
“You asked for it. It is none of my business.”
Chassell grabbed her wrist and wanted to drag her into the car next to him.
However, a security guard came over before Winnie could say anything, “Hey! What are you doing! Let
go of her!”
Chassell ignored the guard. He applied a stronger force on clasping her hand. It seemed that he
wanted to take Winnie away immediately.
