Chapter 54 Don''t Hurt Her (Part One)
"No, I didn''t. Let me go!" Jeremy had shackled Sherry with his hands. Sherry was starting to get hurt.
She tried to break away from him but he was too strong for her.
She fought so fiercely but he just wouldn''t let her go. When he saw her contorted face, he assumed
she was being hateful.
Suddenly, she waved her hand that sessfully distracted Jeremy. For the slightest moment, he had
loosened his grip on her.
Sherry took advantage of this opportunity by breaking away from him. She pulled so hard that she
identally hit the wall behind her.
"Ouch..." she moaned in pain.
"Jeremy, what the fuck did you do?" A man''s voice chimed in. Steve quickly put down the medicine in
his hand and quickly rushed to push Jeremy away from Sherry.
Jeremy was just about to pull Sherry back in when Steve pushed him away. Steve then defensively put
an arm around Sherry.
The anger on Jeremy''s face disappeared as it was reced with regret.
"Are you okay?" cing his hands on Sherry''s shoulders, he helped Sherry sit up, carefully supporting
her with his hands.
The piercing pain spread to every part of her body in an instant, causing her to tremble terribly.

"She''s a patient! If you want to fight with her, you should at least wait until she recovers!" Steve
bellowed.
Sweat started to break out on Sherry''s forehead. Her face was pale. She grabbed the quilt tightly, trying
to bear the piercing pain.
"I..." Jeremy wanted to exin himself but instead found himself stammering, at a loss for words.
How could he exin? Why couldn''t he control himself? Why couldn''t he just talk to her nicely?
Steve didn''t know what had happened between them. All he knew was the distress he felt when he saw
the pained look on Sherry''s face.
Steve would rather that he get hurt than Sherry.
Jeremy never apologized to anyone. He couldn''t bring himself to say sorry to Sherry but the pain in his
heart to see her like this was undeniable.
"No matter what happens, you should never hurt a woman," Steve hissed. He then turned to Sherry
and tried tofort her.
"She was just treated yesterday. How can you hurt her? You''re so cruel!" Steve added, still angry.
For the first time, Jeremy couldn''t find anything to retort with.
It was indeed his fault. He was too impulsive.
Sherry didn''t want to lean on Steve but she had no strength left now. Still, she liked that Steve was
ming Jeremy.
Jeremy fixed his eyes on Steve''s hands that were still ced on Sherry''s shoulders.
This made him very unhappy but he couldn''t do anything about it as he couldn''t lose his temper again.
"Ahem!" Jeremy stayed silent as he couldn''t argue with Steve since he knew he was wrong. After a
while, Sherry didn''t seem to be in much pain anymore. Jeremy then worriedly asked, "Does it still hurt?
Do you need me to call the doctor?"
"No, thanks. You can go now," Sherry said coldly as she took a deep breath.
Upon hearing this, Jeremy was stunned at how cold she was to him. She wasn''t like that to Steve when
she talked to him just a moment ago.
"I''m staying to take care of you," Jeremy said, pretending that he didn''t hear Sherry.
"I don''t need you to take care of me. As long as you don''te here, I''ll be fine." Sherry was looking
towards the window to the side—she wouldn''t even look him in the eye.
If he hadn''t lost his temper, she wouldn''t have been hurt.
"I said I''m taking care of you," Jeremy replied stubbornly.
All of a sudden, Sherry turned her head and red at Jeremy. "I already said that I didn''t want to see
you! What are you still doing here? Get out! Don''t even show your face to me. It''s only going to make
things worse."
A look of bewilderment spread across his face.
She had spoken to him so ruthlessly just now. Now she was biting her lower lip and seemed to flinch
whenever he tried to approach her.
Meanwhile, Steve quietly stood aside.
Jeremy still didn''t move. Sherry gave a helpless smile and said, "If you don''t leave, I''ll transfer to
another hospital."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled back the quilt and attempted to get out of bed. In a hurry,
Jeremy stopped her by pressing her hands against the bed with his.
When Jeremy touched her, Sherry withdrew her hands immediately, as if she was hurt. She then
looked at him as if she was sickened over him.
"I''m leaving now. Don''t move and don''t transfer to another hospital either," Jeremy said as gently as he
could, slowly retreating.
"Rest well. I''lle see you tomorrow," he said in a low voice.
"I said I didn''t want to see you. The minute you set foot in this hospital, I''m transferring," she said firmly.
Steve almost burst intoughter. He''d never seen Jeremy being treated like this.
Rendered speechless, Jeremy pressed his lips together and in a resigned tone, he said, "Okay."
Then Jeremy turned around and walked to the door, looking back at her, his eyes ridden with guilt.
After the door was closed, Sherry exhaled sharply.
"You were so brave just now," Steve teased.
It wasn''t until she turned her head to look at Steve did she realize how intimate their position was right
now.
She moved her body slightly along with her shoulders as if to signal to Steve that she didn''t want to be
held anymore.
"Are you really fine? Don''t you need to see a doctor? What if the wound reopened again?"
"It''s fine. Don''t worry. I know my body." Sherry smiled feebly. Her lips hurt a bit as in trying to endure
the pain, she bit her lips so hard that they busted open.
"I really don''t understand Jeremy. What were you two arguing about anyway?"
Sherry really didn''t know how to answer his question.
