Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 60

Another afternoon at the Athana Hospital.

The sun was shining bright; it was a beautiful day.

Sherri Landor arrived at the hospital almost simultaneously with Natalie.

The best friends were telepathic and usually arrived at work at the same time.

Natalie’s legs were weak and wobbly; she cursed Trevon Wilson for being ruthless like an animal last night.

Meanwhile, Sherri got out of the cab..

Natalie was distracted by her strange posture getting out of the car. She frowned and gave Sherri a once-over. A red mark on the latter’s neck was similar to the one Trevon left on her chest in the morning. She immediately understood what had happened to her best friend.

Natalie grabbed Sherri’s arm and asked, “Didn’t you say you were at home? What’s wrong with your neck?”

The latter sighed, “I don’t want to talk about it! I slept with a pig.”

She thought for a while and asked Natalie. “What about you? Did you discharge your gun accidentally too?”–

Natalie looked at Sherri and thought knowingly, “So you had an accident last night too.”

The two caught each other’s gaze, raised their hands, and did a high-five.

They were, without a doubt, good sisters and best friends. They even lost their virginity on the same night.

Natalie asked curiously, “So, who discharged your gun? You didn’t go so far as to pull a stranger off the street, did you?”

“I might as well pull one off the street: it was Hackett Blackwell!” Sherri said disdainfully,

Natalie was taken aback and could not utter a word; she looked at Shrrin in disbelief.

Sherri had already accepted the fact that she lost her virginity to Hackett. She was the initiator, after all; she only wished Hackett would not hound her going forward.

“Hay, Natalie, how many times did you do it with Trevon last night? Was he good in bed? Did he perform to your satisfaction?” Sherri had evidently watched too many idol dramas.

did not think Natalie would get pregnant with Trevon and have his baby. They would divorce in less than two months, after all.
