Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 53 The Entanglement (Part One)

Sherry was astonished by Jeremy's presence.

As Jeremy stood by the door, he looked handsome as ever. Any woman would swoon over him.

However, Sherry was different—she wasn't the least bit enchanted by his handsomeness anymore.

"Nice to see you here, Chester," Steve said as he stepped forward, smiling.

Chester stood up and nodded. He then turned to Jeremy and nodded his head before sitting back down.

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became strange. Sherry couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Mr. Song,"

she greeted indifferently. Steve put down the food that he had brought on the table.

"I got a little bit too drunk last night which was why I couldn't come see you." It seemed as if Steve wanted to say something else but couldn't because Jeremy and Chester were there.

"It's okay. I'm fine." The look on Sherry's face was unreadable.

Jeremy stepped forward. The cold expression on his face made Sherry nervous. As if out of habit, Sherry couldn't take her eyes off him.

"What's the use of bringing all these? Will this help her recover right away?" Jeremy questioned, his voice low.

Steve was confused. He couldn't understand why Jeremy was so angry.

Chester had also brought a lot of food but Jeremy seemed to be particularly angry at only Steve.

"It's fine. I like all the food. Thank you," Sherry chimed in.

Steve ignored Jeremy as he turned to look at Sherry. 'Sherry really can be cold sometimes but she still has her soft side,' he thought to herself.

"I'm so sorry that I had to invite you to my party. It's where you got hurt," Steve said, feeling a little guilty.

Sherry shook her head with a smile. "It's fine. I wanted to be there since we're friends anyway."

Sitting on the sofa the farthest away from Sherry, Jeremy sneered and said with disdain, "It's good that you know that. From now on, you should mind your own business."

This left both Steve and Sherry speechless.

When Chester saw the looks on Sherry's and Jeremy's faces, he couldn't help but think how a couple shouldn't be like this.

"Don't you have work to do? What are you doing here again?" Sherry questioned Jeremy impatiently.

"I'm here because I wanted to be here." Anything that came out of Jeremy's mouth infuriated Sherry to no end. She especially hated it when he acted as if he owned the place like the way he was sitting on the sofa right now.

"I'll stay here tonight to take care of you. I promise I won't disturb you," Steve offered.

As she heard this, Sherry's face darkened—she obviously didn't want Steve to stay.

After all, she and Jeremy were still technically married. If anyone found out that Steve had spent the night with her, it would definitely cause trouble.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Jeremy piped in. "You know you're disturbing so why the hell are you still here? Don't you have manners?"

Puff!

Steve was rendered speechless, unable to fathom Jeremy's rudeness.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Sherry was reluctant to let Steve stay. However, when she heard what Jeremy said, she knew she had to defend Steve. "He's not disturbing me," she said simply.

Jeremy's face then darkened.

Steve's eyes widened. He prompted, "Really? Then I'll stay and look after you tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately regretted what she said. What on earth was she thinking?

She only did it to get back on Jeremy.

"No way! If you stay, you'll talk too much and you'll tire her out!" Jeremy protested.

Not knowing what to say, Steve turned around and decided that the best way to deal with this was to calmly talk this over with Jeremy. However, someone suddenly came in.

The young nurse who had just entered seemed visibly startled by the tense atmosphere in the room. The combination of these three men who all seemed rich and powerful were odd.

"Who is the patient's family?" The nurse looked around the room before she finally fixed her eyes on Jeremy.

She recalled that it was Jeremy.

"May I know what this is about?" Sherry asked.

"I need your family to get your medicine for you."

Jeremy was just about to move but stopped when he heard that he would need to leave the room. He then bore his gaze into Chester's who was sitting across him.

When Chester moved to stand up, Steve suddenly approached the nurse and volunteered, "I can go. This whole accident was my fault after all."

The reason why Steve offered to get the medicine was because he couldn't stand to be in the same room as Jeremy anymore.

Meanwhile, Sherry figured that she would need Jeremy in order to get Steve to leave.

When Sherry raised her head, she almost forgot that she still had another problem to deal with.

Jeremy and Chester were sitting on either side of Sherry's bed. Jeremy was sharply staring at Chester while Chester looked calm as ever. They were so different from each other that the sharp contrast was disorienting.

Were they forgetting that they were business partners?

"Thank you for keeping Sherry company for so long," Jeremy suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Sherry quickly looked at Jeremy then at Chester. She figured if Jeremy was trying to provoke Chester, she wouldn't hesitate to retort back to Jeremy.

However, Jeremy sounded neither sincere nor sarcastic. It seemed as if he was just trying to establish his ownership over Sherry.

It was strange.

"Not at all. She's one of the SZ Advertising Company's employees. It's my duty," Chester said nonchalantly.
