Chapter 1572 I’s Verbal Attack Against Le


    Sheryl''s mind raced as she didn''t want the deal she made with Ferry to be leaked. She quickly grabbed


    I''s hand to stop her, and then turned to Nick. "It''s no big deal! I just reached out to some of my


    contacts to set you and Cassie free. And, what I meant is that it''s best if we stay quiet. We''d better


    not fuss because under our current situation, Cassie might get into trouble again! I know that it''s really


    unfair but, we should just put up with it and let it go," she exined.


    "Let it go?" Nick said, and looked confusedly at Sheryl. He never expected to hear that kind of answer


    from her.


    ''Sheryl is always like this. She fails to be tough when the situation requires her to be!'' I thought and


    looked helplessly at Sheryl.


    "That''s right!" Sheryl''s lips curved into a faint smile. She simply hoped that Nick would understand why


    she acted this way.


    "Well, I agree with Sheryl. We don''t have to worry. The most important thing right now is that you and


    Cassie recover for now. It''s never toote to avenge ourselves," I echoed Sheryl and nodded. She


    had quickly read what was on Sheryl''s mind, and chose to support her.


    Soon enough, Nick was convinced. Despite his rage, he knew that he couldn''t do anything now


    because he was bedridden. Beside himy Cassie, who was still in aa. A bitter pang stung his


    heart. He felt truly remorseful, as he was Cassie''s boyfriend and he failed to protect her. He then


    realized that Sheryl made sense.


    "Nick, don''t be too hard on yourself. What happened to Cassie was out of our control. Luckily, she is


    fine now. She just needs to rest more," Sheryl suggested. Her eyes watched the way Nick looked at


    Cassie. She could tell what was on his mind through the deep frown on his face.


    "Sheryl, I couldn''t be more grateful," Nick said. In his eyes, Sheryl had always been thoughtful towards


    him. She was greatly empathic and offered him good advice.


    "Nick,e on! You don''t have to be so polite with me! We''re close friends, so I also feel the pain


    when you''re hurt. I''ll always be honest and give you my best advice because we''re friends. You know


    it''s not a good idea to seek revenge under current circumstances," Sheryl told Nick with a smile, and


    gently patted him on the shoulder.


    For Sheryl, her top priority at the moment was tofort Nick.


    On the other hand, Nick lowered his head without a word. He thought deeply about what Sheryl had


    said. Despite his eagerness to seek justice for Cassie and himself, he had to be realistic about the


    situation. "I agree, Sheryl. Rest assured that I won''t act impulsively!" Nick said after a long pause.


    "Good, that''s what I want to hear! Come, you must be hungry. I brought some food for you," Sheryl


    nodded enthusiastically. Then, she gestured for I to set the table and bring the food out.


    After a while, the room was filled with the delicious scent of rice and side dishes. Nick immediately felt


    hungry at the sight of the food.

    While the three of them enjoyed their meals, it was disrupted by a knock on the door. Cora''s head


    popped from the doorway, then she entered cautiously. She knew that Cassie had gotten hospitalized,


    and she was worried for her friend. Thus, she decided to pay her a visit despite being on duty.


    "Is Cassie here? Is she okay?" Cora asked with concern. She fidgeted with the hem of her uniform as


    she slowly nced around the room.


    Everyone else was a bit taken aback, but they quickly recognized Cora. Sheryl remembered that the


    "Cora! Oh, don''t worry, Cassie is fine!" Nick blurted out. Nick looked relieved to see another familiar


    face, Cora, who was Cassie''s friend.


    "I just came from an operation, then I heard from my colleagues that Cassie was in the hospital. I was


    shocked and scared. And Nick, what happened to you and Cassie? It seems that both of you got badly


    injured," Cora asked, confusion and concern on her face. When Sheryl asked for a leave on behalf of


    Cassie the other day, Cora sensed that something wasn''t right.


    She thought that Cassie had already gotten a two-day leave right before that day. Cora had a faint


    feeling that something bad must''ve happened to Cassie. She tried to contact her friend through the


    phone, but received no response. In the end, she decided to wait and hope for the best.


    They all exchanged looks in silence, but failed to respond.


    Sheryl knew that she had to say something; or else, Cora would only grow more concerned and stay in


    the room until she got an answer.


    "Well, Cora, please don''t be too worried! What happened was, Cassie and Nick have escaped from a


    kidnapping. Luckily, both of them are fine now. Cassie just needs rest, so does Nick…" Unfortunately,


    Sheryl stammered and didn''t know how to continue her words, but what she was trying to exin was


    clear.


    Luckily for her, Cora stopped asking. "Great, at least I can be at peace. Call me anytime if you need


    help, but I have to go back to my duty now," Cora nodded and smiled.


    "We will!"


    After Cora left, Sheryl''s face turned stern as she warned, "This whole thing ispletely over from now


    on! We can''t afford to set against those guys. They all live in the dark! It''s not wise for us to get


    involved with them. Let''s be careful about what we say!"


    "Sher, are you possessed by Jesus all of a sudden?" Nick asked in an obviously impatient tone. He


    looked annoyed, as he wanted Sheryl''s idle chatter to stop.


    "That''s right! See, Sheryl, now even Nick gets impatient with you. Let''s cut out the nonsense and just


    eat!" I said and shot Sheryl a helpless look. "Okay, it''s my fault.


    I won''t say anything anymore," Sheryl shrugged. The chatter continued as they ate, with topics jumping


    from one to another.


    The pleasantries mixed with the delicious food, and left behind all the unpleasant memories.


    "You know, I''m quite confused. Aren''t Cora and Jordan rted? He''s the older brother, but he''s no


    better than his sister, isn''t he?" I sighed and blurted out what was on her mind.


    As Cassie''s good friend, Cora had many good qualities about her. However, the same couldn''t be said


    about Jordan, who had a badass attitude.


    Sheryl nced at Nick through the corner of her eye. While the fiasco between Jordan and Cassie was


    a thing of the past, Nick might still nurse a grudge in his heart.


    "Let''s not worry about other people''s business. Now that we have so much free time, why don''t we go


    outside and buy some fruits for Nick and Cassie? It will be good for their recovery!" Sheryl suggested.


    She suddenly pulled I''s arm and stood up to leave. However, I wanted to say something more.


    Before she got to speak, Sheryl cast her a stern look, signaling her to shut up.


    After a short pause, Sheryl and I left the room.


    "I, did you do that on purpose? You know Nick hates Jordan ever since that thing that happenedst


    time. Why did you still mention it?" Sheryl angrily asked I as soon as they got out of the ward.


    "Well, I''m sorry. I just forgot it that time. I didn''t mean it, Sheryl, I swear!" I pleaded and looked into


    Sheryl''s eyes. I''s attempts to apologize soon calmed Sheryl, who simply rolled her eyes and stopped


    ming I.


    They got out of the ward floor and walked outside; they then headed to therge supermarket opposite


    the hospital.


    The reason why Sheryl suddenly wanted to buy fruit was that she wanted to give Nick and Cassie more


    privacy. She guessed that Nick must have a lot to talk about with Cassie when they were alone.


    Once Sheryl and I stepped into the supermarket, a familiar silhouette caught Sheryl''s attention.


    The familiar figure turned out to be none other than one of Sheryl''s least favorite people. Sheryl tensed


    and suddenly grabbed I''s hand, in an attempt to leave before Le saw them.


    "What''s wrong? We should buy what we want to buy before we leave!" I said. She was confused.


    However, she didn''t notice Le at the moment.


    "The items here are all so expensive. Let''s go find another store!" Sheryl said in a low voice and smiled


    awkwardly.


    But I wasn''t that convinced with her excuse, and grew suspicious about Sheryl''s weird behavior.


    She sensed something fishy was happening. She shook off Sheryl''s hand and faced her. With furrowed


    brows, she ced her hands on her hips and said, "Sher, are you serious? When did ourpany go


    bankrupt that we have to be so thrifty now?"


    "What are you talking about?" Sheryl scrambled and even rolled her eyes. She nced behind the


    aisles again, to see if Le was still there.


    "Then why our Ms. Xia can''t even afford to buy some fruit in a normal store?" I joked. Even if I


    was kidding, Sheryl was at a loss for words.


    Helpless, she decided to be honest with I.


    "Because I saw Le! She''s here!" Sheryl whispered to her friend''s ears. Sheryl looked at the aisles,


    then I followed where her eyes led.


    Soon enough, I quickly spotted the disgusting woman.


    Without a word, I suddenly went straight in Le''s direction.


    Everything happened so suddenly and fast, that Sheryl wasn''t able to stop her.


    Sheryl knew about I''s temper, and she knew how things were about to turn out. Too embarrassed to


    see what would happen, she wanted to escape the store.


    Yet, Sheryl still followed I closely to try and stop her. Meanwhile, I had approached Le and shot


    her a brash look.


    "Well, well, well. Isn''t this Charles Lu''s mistress? How dare you walk out in the daylight! How dare you


    go out like this! Aren''t you afraid to be recognized by others because of the shameful things you''ve


    done? You must have lost your dignity! How disgraceful!" I mocked. Behind the aisles, Sheryl was


    extremely fazed by I''s choice of words.


    Still, Sheryl didn''t want to cause any fuss in public. But I didn''t think the same; she wanted to take


    advantage of the situation and give Le a lesson.


    Now, Le didn''t expect to meet them at such a ce. She was confident when it came to Sheryl, but


    I seemed to be a tough bone to bite!


    I was a woman of words. Even if she was on the wrong side, she could prove that she was right.


    Le knew that she had to be more than self-assured, especially with so many people around them. No


    matter how humiliated she would feel after I''s insults, she had to be cool and collected.
