Chapter 1246
Westchester.
Inside a particular private hospital in a very secluded area. The door to the operational ward was flung open, and a
host of doctors and nurses marched into the room. Sylvia, who had been sitting next to the hospital bed and
guarding Sherry, immediately rose from her seat to make way for the doctors.
Sherry, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, weakly sat up and put her hand out for the doctors.
The doctors swiftly and efficiently put on new bandages on her, injected her with a fresh dosage of medicine, and
swapped her IV bag before leaving.
The ward was quiet again.
Sherry leaned back against the head of the bed and gasped for breath.
Every cell in her body was pulsing from the pain. Sylvia looked at her affectionately and asked in a low voice , “Does
it hurt? Do you want me to call the doctor again?”
Sherry smiled weakly. “It‘s fine. I‘m Sherry Fowler. Something minor like this is nothing compared to
everything else I have been through.”

Sylvia chuckled and played along. “Well, your wounds are very severe so this is only to be expected. You should get
better in a day or two.”
“Yeah.” Sherry grunted, then turned to Sherry with a smile. “Sylvia, I owe you one. I‘d have died out there if it
wasn‘t for you.”
Something sparked in Sylvia‘s eyes. She did not answer.
She was slightly upset with Sherry. If not for Odell‘s timely arrangement and rescue, there was a chance that they
would not be having this conversation at all by this point as Sherry would have been long gone. 2 It was especially
infuriating considering Sherry had collaborated with Shannon of all people instead of directly contacting her for
help. “Sylvia, why won‘t you talk to me?” Sherry poked at Sylvia playfully.
Sylvia shot her a look. “If you had got in touch with me and asked me to break you out, all of this would never have
happened.” Sherry made a look. “I get it. If something comes up in the future, you‘ll be the first one I call. If I need
anything at all, you‘ll be my first option.”
Sylvia decided to let the matter drop, especially when she considered the state Sherry was in.
She took a deep breath and said, “Odell called me just now. He said that the police in Glanchester found out that it
was Shannon behind all of this, so they went to the Stockton family earlier today and took her to the station.”
Sherry‘s eyes gleamed icily upon hearing Shannon‘s name. She commended the police‘s work, “The Glanchester
police are pretty good at their job.”
She had expected the matter to be dragged out for some time, and she thought it would come down to her having
to directly accuse Shannon for the police to get started with the investigation at all.
It was a surprise to find out that they had caught Shannon in just one night.
It would appear that there was no longer any need for her to head back there.
The tension in her eyes dissipated upon hearing this. For once, she was at ease.
Sylvia looked at her and said softly, “Get some sleep, you barely slept last night.” “Okay.” Sherry made sure to
thank Sylvia. “You should get some sleep too. You‘ve been up all night watching over me.”
Sylvia smiled. “Hmm.”
There was a reclining chair next to the bed. After making sure that Sherry had fallen asleep, Sylvia went to lie down
and fell asleep shortly after.
After only a short while after Sylvia slept, Sherry opened her eyes slowly.
She peered at Sylvia who was sleeping a short distance from her, tears slowly pooled in her eyes, and she became

She thanked all her lucky stars that she had Sylvia.
Last night, she tried to sneak off by telling them that she had to go number two. It did not take long before they
were on her tail.
At first, only one of them caught up to her. He chased her until the edge of the cliff where the two of them fought
briefly.
She was an amateur and was completely outmatched by the trained hitman and she received several cuts on her
arm.
She did not want to be hacked to death and resorted to desperate measures so she threw herself off the cliff and
hoped for the best
Fortunately, she landed on a thick branch only a several meters drop from the edge of the cliff.
It was very dark at the time. They must have thought she had pummeled into the river and died.
