As soon as she spoke, a weird silence blanketed the table.

Brandon looked annoyed, and his face stiffened.

The woman cast a glance at Sherry in provocation and turned away.

After she was gone, Brandon said, “Sherry...”

Sherry smiled. “Your friend?”

Brandon picked up his water and took a sip to ease his nervousness and embarrassment.

He explained, “I can explain. I delivered something to her house yesterday and unintentionally left my

pen there. Nothing happened between us.”

Sherry picked up her chopsticks and said, “It’s alright. I understand. Go on eating.”

Brandon’s lips parted. He still wanted to speak but noticed that Sherry didn’t have any interest in

listening to him. Hence, he kept silent.

They didn’t talk during dinner.

After dinner, Brandon's phone rang as soon as they walked out of the restaurant.

He checked the caller ID, frowning deeply. Then he pressed the phone into his pocket.

He said, “Sherry, let me drive you home.”

As soon as he finished his words, the woman showed up not far away from them. She was holding her

phone to make a call.

Brandon’s phone kept vibrating.

Sherry took a look at the woman. “It seems you're still quite busy. I won’t hold you up for long. Bye.”

“Sherry.”

Brandon grabbed her arm after Sherry took a step.

He said, “I’m sorry for what happened today. I...”

Sherry looked back, seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated. She answered, “No worries.

I won’t tell your parents about this matter.”

Brandon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it. He let go of her. “I’ll deal with it and explain it to you

later.”

Sherry smiled and waved him goodbye. Then she hailed a cab to leave.

In the car, she saw Brandon walk to that woman, who had a complacent smile on her face.

Sherry exhaled and withdrew her gaze.

She knew Brandon was still in touch with his ex-girlfriend.

However, her own relationship was also a mess, just like him. They dated to please their parents.

Hence, she didn’t mind it at all.

However, she could tell it was Brandon’s ex-girlfriend wanting to come to the restaurant for dinner. To

memorize their past love or make up for his regret, he brought Sherry here.

That went a bit too far.

Sherry could accept to date him to get to know him more.

However, she couldn’t accept that she would be treated as a substitute.

She felt offended.

Back home, to vent her anger, Sherry bought a lot of barbecue skewers from a food stall downstairs.

She wanted to share the food and beers with Stella. Before knocking on Stella’s door, she recalled

Clarence’s ice-berg face, so she decided not to disturb them.

However, after eating them all and drinking the beer, she had tummy trouble. At midnight, she suffered

from diarrhea and vomiting.

In order not to delay the filming the following day, Sherry tried her best to get up and hailed a cab to the

hospital.

When the driver asked her which hospital, Sherry couldn’t utter any word because of the pain. Her

mind was also in a mess. She answered, “Whatever. Just as near as possible...”

Shortly after, the taxi stopped in front of a hospital.

Sherry raised her head and checked on the entrance, more sweat oozing on her forehead. She said

with a pale face, “Mister, can you drive me to another hospital?”

The driver answered, “Miss, I’m afraid not. You look bad. You’d better hurry up and go inside.”

“I...”

Before Sherry finished her words, the driver helped her get off, escort her into the hospital, and handed

her to a nurse before leaving.

The nurse asked Sherry about her symptoms and immediately put her on a drip. She said, “It’s so late

now. Why don’t you call your family over to accompany you?”

Sherry waved her hand to refuse weakly. “I’m fine. Not that serious. I feel much better after the drip.”

The nurse didn't know how to react.

Sherry added, “How long will the drip take? I need to work tomorrow.”

The nurse answered, “Probably four to five hours. It’ll stop in the early morning. Miss, you should ask

for a day off.”

“Not necessary. The work has been planned. It’s my own fault. Alas...” As she spoke, Sherry regretted

it a lot. “Thank you so much. I can be with myself here.”

The nurse nodded. “Okay. Call me if you need any help.”

“Sure.”

After the nurse was gone, Sherry leaned against the chair and heaved a sigh.

If the filming tomorrow were affected by her, she would beat herself up.

Sherry looked around. There were only a few patients in the hall for the infusion, which was far away

from the inpatient department.

She believed that there would be 0.1% of possibility for her to encounter Daniel.

In fact, she believed the possibility should be zero.

Sherry felt relaxed. She looked up at the drip bottle, tolerated the colic pain, and closed her eyes for a

nap.

Shortly after, the medicine took effect.

Sherry felt much better.

She estimated the time and set up the alarms on her cell phone to wake her up every half an hour.

Then she closed her eyes again.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

In a daze, she felt someone sit down next to her.

She was covered with something.

Sherry scratched her cheek and tilted her head.

A hand supported her head and moved her gently.

The next second, she leaned against a man’s broad shoulder.

Probably, she had been troubled for almost the whole night. Sherry slept quite soundly. She was woken

up by the nurse.

She opened her eyes and looked around blankly. The nurse said, “The infusion is done. If you are

feeling well, you can go home now.”

Sherry returned to her senses and yawned. “Thanks.”

The nurse said, “You are welcome. Make sure to have some light dishes in the following days. Don’t

eat spicy or greasy food. Don’t drink alcohol. These are the pills to take. If your tummy hurts, just take a

pill.”

Sherry nodded. “Okay. I will.”

She walked out of the hospital, looking at the rising sun. She stretched and felt her neck was sore.

After taking a few steps, she realized that her alarms didn’t ring at all.

Sherry pulled out her phone and checked on the alarms, feeling so confused when seeing them all be

turned off.
