Chapter 1772
the corridor outside the emergency room, Sherry squatted down with her blood-stained hands over her fad
It had been two hours, yet the door remained closed and the sign remained lit
Sherry saw several medical staff running in and out of the emergency room, but there were no signs of e surgery
being over She had been squatting down for so long that she could not feel her legs anymore.. fer body felt cold
and stiff
For some reason, her mind kept replaying some old memories while she waited for the surgery to be over
When they were together ten years ago, he had been the Stocktons eldest son, a handsome young man with a
bright future. He was the ideal husband of many socialites and young ladies in Glenchester, but he had fallen for
her out of all the other women
At the start of their relationship, her then fiance, Mason, was taken away by Shannon. hence she cut all ties with
her family, the Fowlers She relied on her own hands to make a living

that paid well. He would also give her gifts that looked normal but were actually expensive, and he would pick her
up from school when she finished working.
Later, his family found out about his relationship
Just when she thought their relationship would end there and then, he chose her instead of his family, giving up his
position as the heir to the company
When they moved into a cheap apartment, even when the two of them could not get any good jobs due to his
father’s influence, he had never given her a hard time He cooked for her when he came back from work, gave her
all his money when he got paid, and told her to buy dresses and makeup to look beautiful
Behind his love and care for her, he tightened his belt and ate the least amount of food just to stay alive
Even when she wanted to break up with him because she could not bear seeing him suffer, he used to think it was
he who had failed her and did not provide her with a good life.
All the memories flooded her mind, tightening her chest.
Her grievance tortured her for as long as it did.
As a matter of fact, had she not asked for Mason’s help to fake cheating on him, he would not have hated her as
much
He really thought she had betrayed him, hence the resentment and grudge it was also the main reason for what
happened over the years. He actually never wanted to hurt her.
Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Sherry buried her face behind her hands.
If he could make it out of the emergency room, she would forgive him for whatever he did.
She choked on her emotions for a little longer before she gradually recovered She lifted her head up to look at the
emergency room but saw Lisa and Carl in front of her She was unaware of their arrival and they were looking at
her, worried.
Sherry was caught off guard.
Lisa went over and squatted down. She looked at her gently and said, “Sherry, I’m sure the doctor will save him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe’ll make it.”
Sherry snorted and hummed a reply.
Lisa held her hand and hugged her “Come on, don’t sit on the floor it’s cold. Let’s go sit on the bench.
Sherry could not say a word due to her overflowing emotions She simply followed Lisa to the bench by the side
Carl remained petrified on the spot. Jason was also there, standing in silence.
Another hour later, the door finally opened.
Sherry bolted up.
The doctor came over and said, “The patient has made it through the critical state, but he is still unconscious. We’ll
have to observe for another day.”
Sherry finally sighed a breath of relief. “Thank you, Doctor”
“You’re welcome. You can settle the hospitalization procedures later,” the doctor said before he left.
Lisa held Sherry close and said to Carl, “Carl, go settle the procedures. I’ll stay here with Sherry”
Carl nodded. He glanced at Sherry before he left for the reception.
John was then transferred to the ICU.
