Chapter 1269 “Understood.”
Several days later, in the confinement center at Westchester, it was slightly past noon, the perfect time for a nap.
Sherry had just fed Caprice and then taken a quick nap with her.
For some reason, she suddenly woke with fright after a very brief nap, and she found herself drenched in sweat
when she woke. She sat up and anxiously looked at her daughter, Caprice.
The adorable girl was sleeping soundly, her eyes zipped into two lines, and she seemed perfectly at peace.
Sherry breathed a sigh of relief and gently took Caprice into her arms.
The postpartum nurse, who was tasked by Sylvia to look after Sherry, noticed this and quickly approached Sherry
and asked in concern, “Miss Sherry, is everything okay? Did you have a nightmare?”
“No, I don‘t know what that was about either. Maybe I just had too much to eat today,” Sherry remarked with a

rest as well? I‘ll take care of Caprice myself.” “Alright, just call me if you need anything at all.”
“Sure.”
The nurse went to the couch and quickly got some shuteye.
The room was quiet.
Sherry looked at her daughter who was still sleeping soundly in her arms and felt a great sense of relief and
comfort overtake her. Despite that, she felt her heartbeat thumping furiously against her chest. There was still a
deep sense of uneasiness somewhere within her.
After a while, she got out of bed with Caprice in her arms and approached the window. The windows ran from the
floor to the ceiling and were sealed tightly. The ward was located on the sixth floor of the confinement center. It
was in a very ideal location, facing the main street which offered a panoramic view over the city. The new shopping
mall that opened very recently was in full view as well.
The streets were crowded with people and there was a lot of traffic. Everything looked about the same as usual.
She wagered that hormone instability was the cause behind this strange agitation boiling inside her. As she
sighed, Caprice suddenly began rustling about in her arms.
Meanwhile, inside a hotel that was directly across the road from the confinement center, there was a particular
room on the eighth floor of the hotel that was aligned nearly perpendicular to the room in which sherry stayed.
A tall man was perched next to the window with a telescope held tightly in his hands. The binoculars offered a clear
view of Sherry despite the great distance separating the man and his subject. He was able to see Sherry standing in
front of the window with the baby in her arms.
The binoculars shook in his trembling arms. After a while, a smile slowly formed on his lips.

Two days later, on Saturday, judging by his usual pattern, John should arrive anytime now.
Sylvia and Odell had been at home all day with the children until evening had rolled around, and yet there was no
sign of their guest.
Sylvia muttered, “Is he coming or not?”
“I think he hasn’t given up on looking for Sherry,” Odell said.
“Then, why hasn‘t he come here yet? Do you think he was held up by some important business on his side?”
“Could be.”
Sylvia stated, “I’ll go check up on Sherry then. She‘s going to check out of the confinement center tomorrow, so I
should keep her company.” She rose as she said that.

Odell suddenly grabbed her arm and asked, “Are you coming back tonight?”
