Chapter 689


    Channing did not answer and only turned around to look at her. He said after several seconds, “Okay.”


    Winnie asked, “Did you look for Chassell?


    Channing confirmed, “I did.”


    “You went to look for him…”


    Channing said, “You already asked the second question.”


    Winnie was puzzled.


    Channing stood up and said, “Let me use the kitchen.”


    Winnie paused for a while before realizing that she had been fooled. Channing was indeed smart and


    could think very quickly.


    Winnie looked at his back and rubbed her eyebrows. She was holding back a lot of questions but did


    not know where to begin.


    After a while, the food was delivered.


    Winnie collected them and walked to the dining room. She then asked Channing, “What are you


    doing?”


    Channing emerged from the kitchen and said, “I wanted to cook two dishes but your fridge is empty.


    You had some expired frozen food which I already threw them away.


    Winnie was speechless and felt embarrassed again.


    She then said, “Let’s eat.”


    Channing looked at the food and said, “That’s too much. Pick a few that you wish to eat and keep the


    rest in the fridge.”


    Winnie looked at the dishes and picked some. The rest were brought to the kitchen to cool off before


    keeping them in the fridge.


    Winnie had to control her weight and did not eat much. She said, “Do you want to eat some more?”


    “No need, it’s enough,” Channing replied. They finished the food and none was wasted.


    Channing packed up the garbage and then said, “Have an early rest. I’ll leave now.”


    Winnie hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are you going straight home?”


    Channing paused before acknowledging.


    Winnie asked, “Will you be taking a cab?”


    “I’ll take the subway,” Channing replied.


    “Okay.” Winnie looked at the time and said, “The subway station is five minutes on foot. If your ride


    home is half an hour and thereafter you take another ten minutes’ walk back, you will need at most


    forty-five minutes to get home. If you go to the convenience store to buy some snacks, I’ll give you


    another five minutes. So send me your location after fifty minutes.”


    Channing was speechless.


    He paused for a minute before saying, “My ce is further away from here.”


    “How far? Is it the neighboring city?” Winnie continued, “Send me your location in fifty minutes or I will


    look for your sister.”


    Channing was silent for several seconds and then said, “Are you checking on me?”


    Winnie was stunned, “Checking…” She then realized that this didn''t sound right.


    She replied calmly, “I’m only concerned about your safety. If you aren’t home in time and was involved


    in a fight outside, how am I going to answer to your sister?”


    Channing grinned and replied, “Okay, I’m leaving.”

    Winnie sent him to the door and reminded, “Fifty minutes.”


    Channing took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll share my rea—time location with you starting from now


    on.”


    “That’s unnecessary…”


    “Aren’t you concerned over my safety? You will be the first to know if something happened to me.”


    Channing said.


    Winnie then realized he was right. She took out her cellphone and epted Channing’s location


    sharing.


    Channing kept his cellphone in his pocket and said, “I’m leaving now.”


    Winnie waved to him and said, “Bye bye.”


    After Channing left, Winnie returned to the sitting room andid on the sofa. She rxed and browsed


    her phone. She could see that Channing had already arrived at the subway station.


    He was tall and walked rather fast. After two minutes, Channing’s position started to move swiftly along


    the subway line. Without knowing, Winnie kept staring at his position. She felt strange the further he got


    from her.


    Channing alighted the subway about twenty minutester. After ten minutes, he arrived at his


    residentialpound and sent a message to Winnie, saying "I’ve arrived".


    He was fifteen minutes faster than her estimation.


    Channing’s ce was indeed out of her way and yet not too far away from her ce.


    Winnie saw the message notification and quickly tapped to the messaging app and replied, Winnie:


    That’s great. Aren’t you working tomorrow? Have an early rest.


    Channing: Okay.


    Winnie paused before exiting the location sharing. She then went for a shower.


    On the other end, Channing saw that the location sharing had terminated. He then kept his phone and


    left.


    …


    At night, Caesar sent someone to send Sherry’s phone to her.


    On receiving it, Sherry heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I thought that I’d never get it back again. I have


    a lot of photos in it.”


    She then said to Ste, “Ste, take the books back. I’m not so inclined to educate myself now and


    won’t waste the time on books anymore. I get all my spiritual sustenance from the phone.”


    Ste smiled, “Okay.”


    It waste and Ste said, “Okay, feed on your phone tomorrow. Sleep early tonight.”


    Sherry charged her phone andid on the bed, “I’ll sleep now. Ste, go back to rest too.”


    “No need, I’ll sleep on the sofa.”


    On seeing that Ste was determined, Sherry just mumbled softly, “Goodnight.”


    “Goodnight.” Ste turned off the light andid down on the sofa. She slowly closed her eyes.


    They had a good sleep that night.


    Sherry was discharged from the hospital three dayster.


    Back home, she sat onto the sofa and said thankfully, “Home sweet home. It was too boring at the


    hospital.”


    Ste said, “Have a rest while I go and cook.”


    Sherry held onto her and said, “I’m already home. You don’t have to take care of me. You should have


    a good rest too.”


    “Didn’t I rest with you at the hospital?” Apart from having breakfast at the hospital, Ste would go back


    to prepare lunch and dinner for Sherry. The trips back and forth were very tiring.


    Sherry thought for a while and tried another method, “Then you should go to work. We weren’t at work


    these few days. Who knows what became of the studio.”


    Ste frowned and asked, “What do you think rence is doing?”


    Sherry was dumbfounded.


    She looked at Ste and said with disbelief, “Could Mr. Conrad still be at… the studio?”


    Ste said, “Yes, otherwise he would bezing at home anyway.”


    Sherry was speechless. She could not imagine Mr. Conrad sitting at that studio handling the trivial


    work. She was also worried about those female colleagues with sries in the thousands but faced


    enormous pressure from Mr. Conrad who was used to handling business deals in the tens of millions.


    Steughed, “Okay, I’ll prepare our meal.”


    Sherry sat on the sofa and yed leisurely with her phone.


    After a while, she walked to the kitchen and said, “Ste, is there any news about ine?”


    Ste’s hand paused and then shook her head gently, “Not yet.”


    Over these days, rence’s men had practically turned City N upside down but were still unable to


    locate ine.


    Caesar also had not left the hotel.
