Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 51 Playing Victim (Part One)

At this moment, Jeremy's phone suddenly rang. The sound echoed in the hospital walls.

He wasn't really in the mood to answer his phone as he was pretty preoccupied at the moment. However, he noticed that the nurse's hand was trembling as he let his phone continue ringing.

"If you don't plan on answering your phone, just hang up. I hate the sound," said Sherry. Sherry felt a sharp pain in her head when she heard the ringtone. She lifted her hands to touch her head all the while grimacing. This did not go unnoticed by Jeremy.

Worried about Sherry, Jeremy quickly answered the call so that it would stop ringing. The nurse couldn't help but notice Jeremy's concern for Sherry that she thought to herself, 'Wow she's so lucky to have a man like him.'

He was greeted by Barry's anxious voice. "Sir, Mr. Wu's secretary just called. He has already approved our project. He'll be signing the contract soon."

Upon hearing this, Jeremy became flustered. He glanced at Sherry who was lying on her stomach on the hospital bed. "I got it. I'll be there soon," Jeremy inaudibly whispered in his phone.

He made sure that his voice was low enough in order to not disturb Sherry. However, it seemed that she had still heard him.

"What's up?" Sherry asked weakly.

"There's something urgent that I need to deal with," Jeremy replied calmly. He didn't want Sherry to be worrying about anything else but her own health.

"Well, go ahead! I'm fine now," Sherry replied. She knew that he wouldn't leave unless she assured him that she was fine. Sherry being reasonable was something that both amused and annoyed Jeremy. 'She just wants me to leave,' he thought to himself.

"Rest well. I'll be back as soon as I'm done," he said, knowing that she wouldn't let him stay anyway. He promised himself that he was going to try to come back as soon as he could. Jeremy walked towards Sherry's beside and leaned over to affectionately caress her hair. He then bent over to plant a kiss on her forehead.
