Chapter 53 The Entanglement (Part One)


    Sherry was astonished by Jeremy''s presence.


    As Jeremy stood by the door, he looked handsome as ever. Any woman would swoon over him.


    However, Sherry was different—she wasn''t the least bit enchanted by his handsomeness anymore.


    "Nice to see you here, Chester," Steve said as he stepped forward, smiling.


    Chester stood up and nodded. He then turned to Jeremy and nodded his head before sitting back


    down.


    The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became strange. Sherry couldn''t help but feel uneasy. "Mr.


    Song,"


    she greeted indifferently. Steve put down the food that he had brought on the table.


    "I got a little bit too drunkst night which was why I couldn''te see you." It seemed as if Steve


    wanted to say something else but couldn''t because Jeremy and Chester were there.


    "It''s okay. I''m fine." The look on Sherry''s face was unreadable.


    Jeremy stepped forward. The cold expression on his face made Sherry nervous. As if out of habit,


    Sherry couldn''t take her eyes off him.


    "What''s the use of bringing all these? Will this help her recover right away?" Jeremy questioned, his


    voice low.


    Steve was confused. He couldn''t understand why Jeremy was so angry.


    Chester had also brought a lot of food but Jeremy seemed to be particrly angry at only Steve.


    "It''s fine. I like all the food. Thank you," Sherry chimed in.


    Steve ignored Jeremy as he turned to look at Sherry. ''Sherry really can be cold sometimes but she still


    has her soft side,'' he thought to herself.


    "I''m so sorry that I had to invite you to my party. It''s where you got hurt," Steve said, feeling a little


    guilty.


    Sherry shook her head with a smile. "It''s fine. I wanted to be there since we''re friends anyway."


    Sitting on the sofa the farthest away from Sherry, Jeremy sneered and said with disdain, "It''s good that


    you know that. From now on, you should mind your own business."


    This left both Steve and Sherry speechless.


    When Chester saw the looks on Sherry''s and Jeremy''s faces, he couldn''t help but think how a couple


    shouldn''t be like this.


    "Don''t you have work to do? What are you doing here again?" Sherry questioned Jeremy impatiently.


    "I''m here because I wanted to be here." Anything that came out of Jeremy''s mouth infuriated Sherry to


    no end. She especially hated it when he acted as if he owned the ce like the way he was sitting on


    the sofa right now.


    "I''ll stay here tonight to take care of you. I promise I won''t disturb you," Steve offered.


    As she heard this, Sherry''s face darkened—she obviously didn''t want Steve to stay.


    After all, she and Jeremy were still technically married. If anyone found out that Steve had spent the


    night with her, it would definitely cause trouble.


    Jeremy piped in. "You know you''re disturbing so why the hell are you still here? Don''t you have


    manners?"

    Puff!


    Steve was rendered speechless, unable to fathom Jeremy''s rudeness.


    Furrowing her eyebrows, Sherry was reluctant to let Steve stay. However, when she heard what


    Jeremy said, she knew she had to defend Steve. "He''s not disturbing me," she said simply.


    Jeremy''s face then darkened.


    Steve''s eyes widened. He prompted, "Really? Then I''ll stay and look after you tonight."


    Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately regretted what she said. What on earth was she thinking?


    She only did it to get back on Jeremy.


    "No way! If you stay, you''ll talk too much and you''ll tire her out!" Jeremy protested.


    Not knowing what to say, Steve turned around and decided that the best way to deal with this was to


    calmly talk this over with Jeremy. However, someone suddenly came in.


    The young nurse who had just entered seemed visibly startled by the tense atmosphere in the room.


    Thebination of these three men who all seemed rich and powerful were odd.


    "Who is the patient''s family?" The nurse looked around the room before she finally fixed her eyes on


    Jeremy.


    She recalled that it was Jeremy.


    "May I know what this is about?" Sherry asked.


    "I need your family to get your medicine for you."


    Jeremy was just about to move but stopped when he heard that he would need to leave the room. He


    then bore his gaze into Chester''s who was sitting across him.


    When Chester moved to stand up, Steve suddenly approached the nurse and volunteered, "I can go.


    This whole ident was my fault after all."


    The reason why Steve offered to get the medicine was because he couldn''t stand to be in the same


    room as Jeremy anymore.


    Meanwhile, Sherry figured that she would need Jeremy in order to get Steve to leave.


    When Sherry raised her head, she almost forgot that she still had another problem to deal with.


    Jeremy and Chester were sitting on either side of Sherry''s bed. Jeremy was sharply staring at Chester


    while Chester looked calm as ever. They were so different from each other that the sharp contrast was


    disorienting.


    Were they forgetting that they were business partners?


    "Thank you for keeping Sherrypany for so long," Jeremy suddenly said.


    Upon hearing this, Sherry quickly looked at Jeremy then at Chester. She figured if Jeremy was trying to


    provoke Chester, she wouldn''t hesitate to retort back to Jeremy.


    However, Jeremy sounded neither sincere nor sarcastic. It seemed as if he was just trying to establish


    his ownership over Sherry.


    It was strange.


    "Not at all. She''s one of the SZ Advertising Company''s employees. It''s my duty," Chester said


    nonchntly.
