Chapter 1405 He Came Back
"You can drop her off in the early hours of the morning. Very few people are up at that time. I''ll text you
the addresster. Please be careful that no one sees you."
Benjamin was surprised by Le''s instructions. It sounded like he was stealing the kid rather than

helping her.
"Fine." After a while, Benjamin gave a brief reply.
Sheryl took out her phone to call Nick during the lunch break.
Since she heard from Cassie, she was concerned about him. Besides, Nick didn''t reply to her
messages, which made her worry grow.
He might have been too busy to text her back. However, it was lunchtime now. Sheryl thought that Nick
should have the time to check his phone.
So, she dialed Nick''s number.
The phone rang and rang, but no one answered. Sheryl hung up the phone.
''What on earth is Nick doing? Hasn''t hee back?'' Confused, Sheryl put down her phone and
decided to visit hispany once she was discharged from the hospital.
She closed her eyes to take a nap, but then her phone rang.
Sheryl looked down at the screen, and it was Nick.
"Sher!" Nick greeted her sweetly, just as kindly as before.
"Nick, have you been busytely?" asked Sheryl.
"Not really. Sher, how are you doing?"
Sheryl could tell that Nick was avoiding her question. He didn''t want to talk about himself.
"I''m doing okay. Something happened a few weeks ago, and I''m in the hospital now. Cassie is taking
good care of me, so you don''t have to worry." Sheryl hesitated before she decided to mention Cassie.
She wanted to see how Nick would react.
Nick remained silent for a while. Then, he asked with concern in his voice, "Sher, you''re in the hospital?
Are you sick? Is it serious?"
"Nothing, it''s just…Not a big deal, anyway. I''m worried about you. Did something happen to you? If you
have any problems, don''t hesitate to ask for help. You know I''ve got your back."
Nick paused before he continued, "I… I just got back from work. I feel a little tired, Sher. I will visit you
tomorrow."
"Don''t bother. You''d better take care of yourself and the business. I''m doing great. Don''t worry."
"No, I have to visit you. You''re like my sister, Sher. What kind of a brother will I be if I don''t visit my
sister when she''s in the hospital?" Nick was determined, and he continued, "Sher, I have a meeting
"I will, you too."
Sheryl held her phone after she hung up. Suddenly, she realized that she didn''t mention anything about
the problems that had been bothering her in the past few days.
She didn''t call Nick to ask him how he was doing. Her main purpose was to ask him about his
rtionship with Cassie. Did they have a misunderstanding? Otherwise, why would Nick keep ignoring
Cassie?
Although nothing sounded wrong with Nick, Sheryl could feel that something was bothering him, and it
was hard for him to pour out his heart.
It seemed that Nick and Cassie needed to have a face-to-face talk. After all, it was better for them to
work out their problems for themselves. Nobody knew better than them what exactly happened. Only if
they opened up to each other could they settle their issues. Knowing that Cassie and Nick were
bickering disturbed Sheryl.
Sheryl was waiting for Charles to arrive with dinner in her ward.
Charles would bring Sheryl dinner in person if he wasn''t busy at dinner time. Then he would keep her
Sheryl had lost lots of weight since Shirley went missing and she looked weaker and paler than before.
So Charles decided to watch his woman have dinner every night. He wanted to make sure that she ate
everything and gained weight soon.
However, Charles didn''t show up at dinner time today, and he hadn''t called her either. Sheryl waited for
a few more minutes before she took out her phone to call Charles.
Right before she dialed the number, Cassie knocked on her door and walked in.
"Sher, look what I''ve brought you!" Cassie smiled broadly, with a thermos bottle in her hand.
Sheryl smiled back. Cassie was an excellent cook. When Nick stayed in the hospital, Cassie cooked
soup for him every day, and thanks to her, Nick''s recovery was quick.
"Seems like I''m having a feast tonight," Sheryl said.
"You will be. I made chicken soup for you today, Sher. It''s a little light, though it''s good for your health.
The doctor said you shouldn''t have food that was too oily," Cassie said as she opened the thermos
bottle. On the toppartment was soup. She took it out, and underneath was rice and vegetables.
"Try it. See if you like it." Cassie passed the soup to Sheryl and gave her a spoon.
Sheryl took it and had a sip. It was delicious.
"Do you like it, Sher?" Cassie asked anxiously.
Sherylplimented her, "It''s really nice, Cassie. I like it. Your soups are more and more delicious."
"As long as you like it, Sher, I can cook for you every day," Cassie offered happily.
"Every day? Are you saying that I have to stay in the hospital for the rest of my life? I don''t agree with
that, Cassie." Cassie had cheered Sheryl up, and so Sheryl was in the mood to tease her a little.
Cassie stuck her tongue out and winked at her. She ced the dishes at the table and asked Sheryl to
Seeing the table filled with her favorite dishes, Sheryl couldn''t help but smile. "I am going to be jealous
of the man who marries you, Cassie. You''re such a good cook."
Suddenly Cassie''s face turned gloomy when she heard Sheryl, and she remained silent.
Sheryl noticed Cassie''s change, so sheforted her, "I called Nick today, Cassie. He''s doing fine.
Don''t worry about him."
Cassie lifted her head the moment she heard Nick''s name. Her eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly,
"Sher, you called Nick? And he answered you? Where is he now?"
"He told me that he just came back from a business trip. He had a meeting waiting for him, so we didn''t
talk much. But he said that he woulde to visit me tomorrow." Sheryl told her every detail.
"He''ll being to the hospital tomorrow?" Cassie was surprised, but she was upset as well.
She kept trying to call him the past few days, but Nick never answered her. Even the messages she
texted him were never answered.
Cassie couldn''t believe that Nick hade back. So the man she saw in the cinema that day was Nick!
Thinking about this, Cassie almost ground her teeth. She was angry and upset at the same time. ''Why
did Nick do such a thing to me? Why?''
Seeing the frustration on Cassie''s face, Sheryl was upset too. However, the problem was between
them, and Sheryl couldn''t give Cassie too much help and get involved.
"Yes, Cassie. He''lle here tomorrow. I think it''s a good opportunity for you to talk to him and solve
your problems, don''t you think?" Sheryl put her hand on the back of Cassie''s.
