Chapter 2678
The sound of knocking could be heard, followed by Cherry's voice. "Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, you're here too."
"Miss Jean." Gloria was surprised to see Cherry. "You came to see Stanley?"
"Yes, I heard he was ill, so I came to check on him." Cherry came to the bedside and was shocked to see Stanley's
condition. "You're injured! How did it happen?"
Though he was severely injured, he had just told her he was ill.
"It's nothing, just an accident." Stanley did not offer much explanation. He had casually brushed it off when he
called her as he was not expecting her to come to see him.
"If I had known you were injured, I would've bought you some health supplements." She thought he was sick and

"It's good enough that you came to see him. Forget about gifts. Come, come and sit." Gloria took the fruits and
pulled Cherry to sit by the bed.
When Tia returned, she saw Gloria and Cherry chatting happily. Although Daniel and Stanley were not speaking,
they were watching them with smiles on their faces.
Setting down the kettle, Tia wanted to quietly leave the space to them.
"Tia, what are you doing?" Cherry asked Tia curiously.
"I..." Tia was at a loss for words. She could not possibly say she was feeling awkward and wanted to leave.
Cherry asked, "What's wrong with you? You're so hesitant. If you have something to say, just say it. I can help you."
She saw Tia leaving right after she boiled some water but was about to leave, so she wanted to see if she could
help her.
"It's nothing." Tia could only force herself to stay.
Cherry pulled Tia over. "Come and sit with us. I was just telling Gloria how hard you've been taking care of Stanley."
"Not at all. In fact, it's Stanley who has helped me a lot before," Tia said awkwardly.
"So, it's safe to say that you two have been helping each other," Cherry joked with a smile.
Tia bit her lip, unsure of how to respond, so she just nodded.
"I think it's about time we leave. Your father and I will head back first." Gloria signaled to Daniel and then looked at
Stanley.
Daniel also followed suit. "Well go see Grandpa."
"Sure. Don't worry about me," Stanley said.

Gloria was not pleased. "Oh, you. Why are you addressing us as Mr. and Mrs. Riddle again?"
"Sorry, Daniel and Gloria." Tia could only address them differently with a forced smile before following Daniel and
Gloria out.
So, Stanley and Cherry were the only ones who remained in the ward. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, still
no progress?"
"What progress?" Stanley furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.
"You know, between you and Tia." Cherry looked at Stanley with disdain.
Stanley was stunned for a moment and instinctively denied," Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing between us."
"Are you still lying to yourself? She might become someone else's wife, and you'll regret it your whole life." Cherry
shrugged with a look of regret.
Stanley involuntarily clenched his fists and fell silent.
Cherry leaned in closer to Stanley and asked softly, "Hey, is something troubling you? Do you need help?"
