Chapter 1596


    Sherry felt as if her feet were made of lead. She wanted to approach to get a closer look, but her feet would not move. Even her


    voice had escaped her entirely. As much as she wanted to speak up, she had difficulty even forming a whisper.


    Soon, Madam Stockton was wheeled away.


    Queenie marched rapidly and nervously next to the crew of nurses. Julie trailed after closely as well. They passed by Sherry.


    Then, John suddenly walked up to her. There was a hint of redness and a piercing look in his eyes.


    Sherry suddenly felt suffocated. Her lips quivered, “I... I’m sorry.”


    John grimaced instinctively and spat, “I must have been blind to fall for a woman like you time and time again.”


    Sherry felt a sour sting rising up to her nose, and she was overtaken by an urge to cry. She lowered her head to avoid looking at


    John and apologized in an aggrieved


    voice, “I’m sorry... I’m sorry.”


    “What is your apology good for at this point?” His towering figure domineered over her. He grabbed her by her chin and made


    her look into the sharp reflection in his eyes. “I wouldn’t forgive you even if you died right here and now.”


    John’s spiteful remark was like a punch to the gut, and Sherry felt as if her insides were torn apart. Before she could utter a


    single word, he let go of her.


    Then, he quickly marched away in the direction Madam Stockton was wheeled


    toward.


    Sherry could barely steady herself on her feet.


    That was when a nurse passed by. It was one of the paramedics who had been in the ambnce, and she recognized Sherry.


    When it looked like Sherry’s legs were going to give out underneath her, the nurse hurriedly stepped forward and held her


    steady. She said in a concerned voice, “Miss,


    your arm is burned. We need to have it treated.”


    Sherry nced at her left forearm.


    It was only now that she remembered that she had burned her arm when she had dragged Madam Stockton out of the burning


    car.


    Her clothes were burned right through, and blistering spots had formed on her arms.


    It was a gruesome sight. She doubted that she would even have noticed her injury if not for the nurse pointing it out to her.


    She answered in a detached voice, “Thanks, I''ll deal with itter.”


    The nurse objected, “No, we have to have it treated now, or else it will leave permanent scars.”


    Sherry only grunted and walked away.


    The nurse assumed that Sherry was going to head to the ward to have her wound. treated, so she decided to stop pestering her


    and went back to her duties.


    However, Sherry went in the other direction. Dressing her wound was thest night on her mind now. She had to wait for news of


    Madam Stockton.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It was a rather small hospital, so she assumed this was far from the best hospital in nchester. Still, she recalled that Madam


    Stockton still exhibited a glimmer of consciousness when she was dragged out of the car, and she hoped the doctors. would be


    able to save her.


    She stepped out of the building into the open air outside.


    Agust of cold wind blew from the oing direction. She took a deep breath and stared absently in front of her.


    She wanted to wait for either John or Queenie toe out. She would suggest that they have Madam Stockton transferred to


    another hospital where they could provide better care for her with state-of-the-art facilities.


    Before she could even catch her breath from the traumatic turn of events, several familiar figures began approaching her.


    It was Peter leading the charge, followed by several bodyguards. They all looked at her with clear hostility.


    Peter did not beat around the bush. “Sherry, Master Stockton doesn’t want you lingering around here anymore, so pleasee


    with us.”


    Sherry was visibly upset by this and asked, “Where are you taking me?”


    She retreated a step backward.


    Peter looked at her rather indifferently. The bodyguards he brought with him promptly stepped forward and had Sherry


    surrounded.


    She frowned and tried to make a run for it.


    The bodyguards were quick to react and immediately cut off her path of retreat.


    “Master Stockton is in a very bad mood right now. You’d do well to not upset him any further, or else there will be consequences.


    | suggest you stop causing trouble and follow us right now.”


    As Sherry scowled, she stopped struggling and followed them without a whisper.
