Chapter 1421
After remaining in the hospital until past noon, she began to feel better and decided that it was time to leave.
She got herself an e–hailing ride.
The car was driving back to the hotel.
Sherry took out her phone and took a look at the conversation with John.
The prompt displayed on the screen indicated that the message she sent was not delivered successfully as she was
not in the recipient’s friend list.
Surprisingly, she did not feel as upset as she thought she would be. Perhaps it was due to her passing out, coupled
with the amount of rest she got in the hospital which allowed her time to cool down.
She sighed and dismissed the idea of finding some other messaging platform to tell him off. She stuffed the phone
back in her pocket and quietly gazed out the car window, taking in the ride.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the hotel.
She got out of the car and walked inside, covered in a thick jacket.
She lived on the eighth floor and had to take the elevator

The elevator entrance was located in the corridor
connected to the right side of the lobby.
After stepping through the entrance, she immediately turned to her right.
Just as she was about to step into the corridor, she heard the grave, familiar voice of a man. “Sherry, why did you
come back so early? Where are those two handsome gentlemen of yours who were supposed to attend to you?”
Sherry halted immediately.
Just several meters to her right was the common area of the lobby where couches and tables were set for guests.
The same man who had attacked her earlier today was sitting on the couch as if nothing had happened.
He held a cup of tea in his hand and was peering at her through the gold–framed glasses.
Sherry was startled by his appearance and asked with vivid surprise, “You b*stard, why are you here?”
John smiled coyly. “What, am I interrupting your plans?”
Sherry grimaced. “What are you talking about? Quit being so weird!”
What was he going on about? Handsome gentlemen
attending to her? Interrupting her plans? This man was raving!
She had just returned from the hospital, what plans was she supposed to have?
John smiled menacingly, his entire demeanor became somber.

Sherry narrowed her eyes and barked at him without tone of affection. “Could you say whatever it is you came here
to say and scram?‘
“I heard that you were picked up by two gentlemen, weren’t you?” John set down his teacup and said as he leaned
against the couch lazily with the usual arrogant smile. “Who are they to you?”
Sherry thought for a moment and asked, “By gentlemen, are you talking about the two guys who helped me into
the taxi and took me to the hospital this morning?”
Something flashed in John’s eyes as he interrogated Sherry, “They took you to the hospital?”
Sherry put his hands in her pockets and stated while grinning, “Yes, they had a noble heart unlike a certain Master
Stockton and couldn’t bear to see me freeze to
death on the side of the road.”
A frown immediately formed on John’s face, and he glared at her up and down.
After a brief silence, he scoffed. “With how thick–skinned
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou are, you can stay out there for a day or two without any worry of freezing to death.”
Sherry grimaced rightly. “What are you doing here anyway? Are you here just to tell me that I’m thick- skinned?”
John sneered at her. “Who told you I was here for you?”
“God, do I look like an idiot to you?” Sherry mimicked John’s condescending smile. “Why else would you be here if it
weren’t for me?”
John took a careful sip from the teacup.
Sherry scoffed and approached John. “How did you know those two men helped me? Did you go back there to look
for me? You’ve been acting very strangely since the moment you got here. You’re not jealous of those two men
now, are you?”
John glared at Sherry.
She was only about a meter away from him.
From this distance, he immediately noticed the purplish area around her cheeks, an evident mark left by frostbite.
Her lips were without color and her entire complexion seemed sickly.

He smiled in his usual charismatic and devilish way. Sherry, in the last two years that we haven’t met, you’ve
developed such a thick skin that it truly amazes me.”
