Chapter 60


    “Mr. Gilbert Colin was in a frenzy. The dressing room is full ofdies. You can’t just barge in there. It


    wouldn’t be propert


    His words halted Gilbert in his tracks.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Indeed, if he barged in like that, what if he saw something he shouldn’t?


    He turned around, his gaze dropping to meet Colin’s. “Seems like you’re unwilling to hand her over,


    are you?”


    “Heh.” A grin spread across Colin’s face. “This is how we make our living, sir. If you’d be so kind as


    toe and watch her perform, I’ll reserve a spot just for you. The youngdy would be ever so


    grateful.”


    Hmph. Gilbert scoffed, seeing right through Colin’s slick ways, like trying to grasp a slippery eel.


    Undoubtedly, he wouldn’t cause a scene over a dancer.


    “Want me toe watch?” A cold smile danced in Gilbert’s eyes. “Well, that’ll depend… on whether


    she’s got the talent.”


    After that, he strode out.


    Just a dancer, was she worth his attention?


    “Mr. Gilbert, take care! Doe again!” Colin bowed deeply, escorting him out.


    After leaving the Neon Nights Bar, Gilbert didn’t head back to Golden Oak Manor but went to the


    Southern District instead. His grandmother had just undergone surgery, and he had to stay by her


    side through the night.


    Sylvia had passed the critical phase but was still weak, spending more time asleep than awake.


    Nurses and caregivers were there through the night.


    Gilbert’s visit was mainly out of concern for unexpectedplications. Thankfully, the night passed


    without incident.


    As dawn broke, Gilbert was awakened by his rm. He had an important meeting in the morning


    and needed to prepare. After grabbing the clothes Charles had brought over, he stepped into the


    bathroom for a shower. Meanwhile, Sherilyn arrived at the hospital room door, about to enter.


    “You are…” Someone tapped her shoulder from behind.


    Turning, Sherilyn offered a smile. “Mr. Elliott.”


    “Hm?” Yates seemed surprised. “You know me?”


    Another person from her past who didn’t recognize her at first nce. Sherilyn was used to it and


    was about to introduce herself when…


    “Sherilyn?” To her surprise, Yates pronounced her name.


    “Yes.” She nodded, still smiling.


    “Ah.” Yates was visibly amazed, not sparing hispliments. “You’ve be so beautiful. I hardly


    recognized you.”


    Sherilyn lowered her head with a smile. “Thank you.”


    Yates asked, “Here to see Sylvia?”


    Sherilyn nodded. “Yes.”


    Yates smiled. “I am, too. Let’s go in together.”


    “Okay.”


    Being a gentleman, Yates opened the door for her. “Ladies first, please.”


    “Thank you.” Sherilyn tried to go into the room.


    Ever helpful, Yates waved it off. “Not at all.”


    Inside, a nurse was attending to Sylvia’s morning care.


    Yates gestured toward the sofa for Sherilyn. “Have a seat for now.”


    “Sure, thank you.” Sherilyn took a seat.


    Yates smiled at Sherilyn. “Would you like something to drink?”


    “No…” Before she could finish, Yates had headed to the kitchen. Returning, he carried two cups of


    coffee. “Are you fine by coffee?”


    “Yes, thanks.” Not wanting to decline his hospitality, Sherilyn picked up the cup.


    Yates encouraged her with a smile. “Go on, have a sip.”


    “Okay…” Sherilyn brought the cup to her lips and took a gulp. The bitterness made her instinctively


    furrow her brows.


    “What’s wrong?” Yates asked with concern. “ck coffee. I didn’t add anything. Not used to it?


    Want some sugar?”


    “No, it’s fine!”


    “Hold on a second.” Yates went and returned with sugar, pouring it into Sherilyn’s cup. “Is that


    enough?”


    Sherilyn nodded. “Yes, yes…”


    “Oops, too much!” Yates feigned a slip, startling Sherilyn.


    10:12


    “Ha!” Yates burst intoughter. “Just kidding.”


    After realizing the jest, Sherilyn gave him a resigned look. “You scared me.”
