Chapter 1596
Sherry felt as if her feet were made of lead. She wanted to approach to get a closer look, but her feet would not
move. Even her voice had escaped her entirely. As much as she wanted to speak up, she had difficulty even
forming a whisper.
Soon, Madam Stockton was wheeled away.
Queenie marched rapidly and nervously next to the crew of nurses. Julie trailed after closely as well. They passed
by Sherry.
Then, John suddenly walked up to her. There was a hint of redness and a piercing look in his eyes.
Sherry suddenly felt suffocated. Her lips quivered, “I… I’m sorry.”
John grimaced instinctively and spat, “I must have been blind to fall for a woman like you time and time again.”
Sherry felt a sour sting rising up to her nose, and she was overtaken by an urge to cry. She lowered her head to
avoid looking at John and apologized in an aggrieved
voice, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

and made her look into the sharp reflection in his eyes. “I wouldn’t forgive you even if you died right here and now.”
John’s spiteful remark was like a punch to the gut, and Sherry felt as if her insides were torn apart. Before she could
utter a single word, he let go of her.
Then, he quickly marched away in the direction Madam Stockton was wheeled
toward.
Sherry could barely steady herself on her feet.
That was when a nurse passed by. It was one of the paramedics who had been in the ambulance, and she
recognized Sherry.
When it looked like Sherry’s legs were going to give out underneath her, the nurse hurriedly stepped forward and
held her steady. She said in a concerned voice, “Miss,
your arm is burned. We need to have it treated.”
Sherry glanced at her left forearm.
It was only now that she remembered that she had burned her arm when she had dragged Madam Stockton out of
the burning car.
Her clothes were burned right through, and blistering spots had formed on her arms.
It was a gruesome sight. She doubted that she would even have noticed her injury if not for the nurse pointing it out
to her.
She answered in a detached voice, “Thanks, I’ll deal with it later.”
The nurse objected, “No, we have to have it treated now, or else it will leave permanent scars.”
Sherry only grunted and walked away.
The nurse assumed that Sherry was going to head to the ward to have her wound. treated, so she decided to stop
pestering her and went back to her duties.
However, Sherry went in the other direction. Dressing her wound was the last night on her mind now. She had to
wait for news of Madam Stockton.
It was a rather small hospital, so she assumed this was far from the best hospital in Glanchester. Still, she recalled
that Madam Stockton still exhibited a glimmer of consciousness when she was dragged out of the car, and she
hoped the doctors. would be able to save her.

A gust of cold wind blew from the oncoming direction. She took a deep breath and stared absently in front of her.
She wanted to wait for either John or Queenie to come out. She would suggest that they have Madam Stockton
transferred to another hospital where they could provide better care for her with state-of-the-art facilities.
Before she could even catch her breath from the traumatic turn of events, several familiar figures began
approaching her.
It was Peter leading the charge, followed by several bodyguards. They all looked at her with clear hostility.
Peter did not beat around the bush. “Sherry, Master Stockton doesn’t want you lingering around here anymore, so
please come with us.”
Sherry was visibly upset by this and asked, “Where are you taking me?”
She retreated a step backward.
Peter looked at her rather indifferently. The bodyguards he brought with him promptly stepped forward and had
Sherry surrounded.
She frowned and tried to make a run for it.
The bodyguards were quick to react and immediately cut off her path of retreat.
“Master Stockton is in a very bad mood right now. You’d do well to not upset him any further, or else there will be
consequences. I suggest you stop causing trouble and follow us right now.”
As Sherry scowled, she stopped struggling and followed them without a whisper.
