Chapter 476


    In the ward…


    Ste finally gave up after she turned the ward upside down but still failed to find her phone.


    It seemed like that wretched man brought her phone away with him.


    A whileter, Sherry returned with her head down and looked as if all her energy was siphoned out of


    her.


    Ste saw her state and asked, “Sherry, did Daniel find you?”


    Sherry nodded and sank herself in the sofa.


    “What did he say?”


    Sherry asked in a very pissed off tone, “I asked him when will he move away, guess what he said in


    return.”


    Ste sat beside her, “What?”


    “He said that he won’t be going away for the time being!” Sherry clenched her fists, “Damn it, he won’t


    be leaving! If I knew that beforehand, I wouldn’t have done…What I did that night. I thought that we


    won’t be meeting each other in the future anyway, and both of us are of age, so what’s wrong with us


    letting loose for a night! But! He’s not leaving!”


    She let the sofa consume her even further while looking as if all hope was lost for her, “It was supposed


    to be a one-night stand, I thought this is business as usual for him, why would he suddenly act like he’s


    in love with me, and wanted to move into my house. What’s wrong with him?”


    Ste put on a smile, patted her shoulder and said, “It’s alright, since he’s not leaving, you can wait and


    see what he’ll do next. Who knows, maybe he really is in love with you.”


    Sherry chuckled sarcastically and replied, “Yeah, right. I can tell that he’s definitely a yboy, the girls


    that he love are probably in the double digits, and I sure don’t want to be lumped together with them.”


    She was not wrong.


    Ste did not try to advise her anymore, “I’ll be fine here, you can return to the workshop, don’t worry


    about me.”


    Sherry immediately rejected her proposal, “No can do, your beloved Mr. Conrad instructed me to look…


    Apany you. I’m here on a mission, you see. If I left, who knows that he won’te after my skin


    for abandoning my mission?”


    Ste was speechless.


    She replied, “He took my phone with him, I can’t even go anywhere.”


    Sherry asked,” Really? That wretched man really has it in for you, huh. No one can survive without their


    phones in this day and age. Do you think this is his punishment for you?”


    Ste smiled, “Probably, yeah.”


    “I shouldn’t leave you alone, then. Imagine how boring it would be for you if I wasn’t here. So, I’ll stay


    here and chat with you for a while so that you don’t get any weird ideas.”

    In the afternoon, Ste lied on her bed, the television nearby was still ying some variety show, but


    her mind had already wandered outside the window.


    She could not stand staying there for one day.


    Let alone half a freaking month.


    Ste recalled her wandering mind and saw that Sherry was sleeping in the sofa. She tried to not make


    any noises while leaving the ward to go downstairs for some leg stretching.


    She was lying on the bed for almost the whole day.


    It was around three or four in the afternoon, Ste avoided crowded areas and walked to the garden at


    the back. As she wanted to sit on a bench for some sunlight, she saw someone familiar.


    When that person turned around and started to leave, they saw Ste and started to panic.


    Ste met her eyes and said, “Ms. Jason.”


    Reba sped her hands together and looked to be slightly nervous. She hesitated for a few


    seconds before walking towards her. As she saw that Ste was wearing a patient’s outfit, she asked,


    “Ms. Radomil…May I ask what happened to you?’


    “Nothing serious, really. I fainted because of my anaemia.” As a courtesy, she also asked Reba,


    “What about you, Ms. Jason?”


    “My…My father suffered from a cerebral haemorrhage, he’s in a stable condition for now.”


    Ste did not expect that kind of answer. She nodded, “I see, then I shall not bother you any further.”


    Reba grabbed her own dress, bit her lips and said, “Ms. Radomil…”


    Ste looked at her and replied, “Is there anything else?”


    Reba wanted to say something, but she saw other patients passing by, she hesitated and said,


    “Horace, he…Should be on the way back now.”


    Hearing that, Ste was startled. A few secondster, she asked, “How’s Mr. Jason’s condition, is it


    very serious?”


    Reba replied, “Actually, my father’s health has been bad for quite some time now. While the doctors


    are able to save him this time, they also stated that he’s not in a very good state and wanted us to be


    prepared for anything. My father is also afraid that he might pass away without notice, so he wanted to


    meet Horace onest time.”


    …


    When Ste returned to her wards, Sherry had just woken up and was about to leave and look for her.


    As Sherry saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief, “Ste, just where did you go? You scared the living


    hell out of me, I thought you’ve escaped from the hospital or something.”


    Ste smiled in response, “Look at me, I couldn’t have gone far if I tried. I just went downstairs for


    some fresh air.”


    Sherry yawned as she lumped back into the sofa again. She took out her phone and said, “Have some


    soda, it’s ought to wake you up. What do you want to drink?”


    Ste sat on the side of the bed and said, “Sherry.”


    “Hmm?”


    “I met Reba just now.”


    Sherry was stunned, “Reba? Horace’s sister?”


    Ste nodded, “In the flesh.”


    “Why would she be here?”


    “Mr. Jason is hospitalized, it seems like his condition is rather serious. Horace is about toe back


    here, too.”


    Sherry heard what Ste said, she sighed, “The Jason family has been really unfortunate these two


    years, huh. Just as their overseas business is about to start thriving, Mr. Jason is hospitalized. And now


    the Jason Group needs a leader, I’m guessing that Horace won’t be going away any time soon after he


    returns.”


    She thenmented, “Compared to Horace, that rival Emmett ain’t nothing. Looks like Mr. Conrad’s


    gonna be jealous for a while now.”


    However, she saw that Ste was not responding. She was looking out the window, thinking about


    other things. Sherry waved her hand in front of Ste and said, “Hey, I’m joking. Are you seriously still


    in love with Horace?”


    Ste still did not respond.


    She pulled at Sherry’s waving arm and said, “What are you talking about? I’m thinking about Reba.”


    Sherry replied, “What’s on with her?”


    “I felt like she was acting weird. She looked like she was panicking when she saw me, it was practically


    written all over her face.”


    Sherry added, “Is it because she had done something behind your back? And she’s feeling guilty?”


    Ste did not tell Sherry that the mastermind behind her involuntary swimming session in the Conrad


    family was Reba, but when she heard her guess, Ste could not help but frown and replied, “Is it


    really, though?”


    Ste recalled that when Reba told her the truth and left the workshop, her expression was one of


    guilt and regret.


    If anything, it should not be anxious and panic.


    Sherry said, “Why wouldn’t it? Only people who are hiding something will be acting like that. But that


    doesn’t make sense, all this while the Jason family has been keeping their heads low, trying hard to not


    get into any sort of trouble. So logically speaking, Reba won’t be risking pissing off rence just to


    do something bad to you.”


    Ste shook her head, maybe she really was overthinking it.


    If Reba really wanted to hurt her, she would not have went and apologized to her, let alone warning


    her to be wary of Phoebe Steward.


    She thought about that, and stopped worrying about Reba.
