Chapter 224 And Sherry
Taking a deep breath and adjusting her expression, Adele gently pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Professor Wes on the bed and Ms. Henderson beside her, she smiled brightly at them. “Dad, Mom!”
When Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes saw her, their expressions changed and they stopped talking about the previous topic.
Professor Wes sat up happily and asked, “Adele is here. Have you been busy with work recently?”
“Not busy,” Adele replied with a smile.
As he spoke, he placed the fruit in his hand on the bedside table and sat down beside the bed to ask about his condition. “How is it? What about you? How is your mood adjusted?”
In a few days, it would be time for his father to undergo surgery. The doctor had specially instructed him to ensure that his mood was calm and his emotions were stable.
“Everything is fine here. Don’t worry.”
Seeing that Professor Wes’ thin face was a little flushed, Adele patted his hand in relief and nodded. “That’s good. I’m relieved!”
After chatting with Professor Wes for a long time, a nurse came to check her condition. Ms. Henderson had time to pull Adele out of the ward.
Looking at Ms. Henderson’s mysterious face, Adele could not help but ask softly, “Mom, what’s wrong?”.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“I want to ask you, where did the money for the surgery come from?” Ms. Henderson frowned and asked in a low voice.
Two days ago, Director Feng had sent a surgery notice to her. Only then did she know that the cost of the surgery had been paid.
She had already collected all the money from her family and gathered it to give to Adele. Although the amount was not small, there was still a distance between them and the operation fee. How could she get so much money in such a short period of time?
After being asked by Ms. Henderson like this, Adele naturally thought of the contract she signed. She frowned slightly and felt a little embarrassed to say it.
This kind of thing, it was enough for her to know it alone. If Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes knew about it, they would definitely be angry.
Ms. Henderson saw that Adele wanted to say something but stopped. Her face sank, and she quickly asked, “Adele, did you do something that you shouldn’t do?”
“No, I’m looking for Damon to help me,” Adele said softly.
She took a deep breath and continued, “Even if I borrow this money from him first, I will slowly repay it in the future.”
Hearing her say this, Ms. Henderson heaved a sigh of relief. “This is also fine. Yus is still reliable at critical times. Alright, after your father does the surgery, our whole family will repay him together.”
Seeing that she had dispelled her doubts, Adele heaved a sigh of relief.
The contract she signed with Damon should not be known to a third person. As for her parents, it was better to keep it a secret for the time being.
After leaving the hospital, Adele took the subway and found a place to sit down. She took out her phone and found a few unread messages.
She opened it and saw that it was from Owen.
“Adele, I’m sorry. I forced you too hard. Don’t mind what happened yesterday too much.”
“Love matters should be taken slowly. Liking you is my personal matter. I will not pressure you and respect your choice.”
The last sentence was a question, “We are still friends, right?”
Looking at these words, Adele felt complicated. Although she was hesitant yesterday, in fact, Owen was really a good choice.
But when she thought of the one-year promise, her heart sank again.
In the end, she moved her fingers and replied to him, “Yes, we are still friends.”
For the next two days, Adele lived in a muddled state. It was as if the contract had become an invisible mountain pressing down on her, making her unable to be happy.
Fortunately, she had not met Damon for the past two days. Slowly, time was reduced by work efficiency, and the melancholy slowly dissipated a little.
“Adele, how about we go out for dinner today? We just opened a Hong Kong style package downstairs. I heard that it tastes good and there are activities these days!”
At noon, Shirley skipped over and suggested going out for lunch.
Adele looked at Shirley’s sparkling little face at the mention of food and couldn’t help but smile.
She was very envious of Shirley’s personality of forgetting all his worries at the mention of food.
“Okay, then let’s go out and eat.” She nodded and said softly.
“Okay! Let me tell you, an intern has just arrived at the marketing department. It is said that she is with the supervisor…”
Shirley held Adele’s arm and excitedly talked about the gossip of other departments. As Adele listened, his mood unconsciously improved a lot.
After the Hong Kong style meal downstairs, the two of them went back to the company together. Just as they walked down the stairs, Shirley suddenly patted his head. “It’s bad!”
“What’s wrong?” Adele quickly turned his head.
“Wenwen asked me to bring her a set meal. I forgot!” “Adele, you go back first. I will go back again.” Shirley said.
Looking at Shirley’s anxious look, Adele nodded, “Then I will go back and tell Wen Wen. Don’t let her wait.”
“Okay, don’t forget to tell her.”
After saying that, Shirley turned around and walked back quickly.
Adele stepped forward and went up the stairs. Just as he walked to the door of the company, he heard a sharp female voice.
“It is really a narrow road for enemies. The company saw her as soon as we arrived. It is really bad luck!”
Was it Sherry’s voice?
Adele paused and looked back. Sure enough, she saw Sherry walking over in high heels.
Grace stood next to her.
Sensing Adele’s gaze, Grace’s eyes flashed slightly. She turned to look at Sherry and whispered, Lu, let’s go.
Sherry rolled her eyes at Adele and asked Grace in an exaggerated tone, “Grace, do you think I have a grudge against her in my past life? How can I meet her when I come to the company occasionally? It’s disgusting.”
Adele turned back and continued to walk forward. Hearing the voice behind her, she bit her lower lip.
She had not seen Sherry for a while. She did not expect to meet him again this time. What happened last time ended in such a disgraceful situation. It did not teach Sherry a lesson. She did not expect that she was still so arrogant and domineering.
She deliberately quickened her pace and wanted to distance herself from her. However, before she took a few steps, she felt an ice on her back, as if she had been splashed with water.
She suddenly turned her head and saw Sherry standing behind her, holding an empty paper cup filled with fruit juice. He stared at her with a smug expression.
She raised her eyebrows and pretended to be surprised as she looked at Grace beside her. “Aiya! My hand slipped! Fortunately, it didn’t fall on my body!”
As she spoke, she casually threw the paper cup to the side and pulled Grace towards the elevator. “Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! We’re rushing the elevator!”
Adele turned her head and tugged at her clothes. Only then did she see that her clothes were splashed with a large amount of watermelon juice. It was so red that it was glaring. She frowned and her fists unconsciously tightened. A surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart.
Sherry was really too much!
She did not expect that what happened last time not only did not teach her how to restrain herself, but also made her even more savage!
Adele gritted her teeth and looked at Sherry who was standing there waiting for the elevator. Her heart was even more furious.
At this time, if she also waited for the elevator, she would probably suffer a new wave of ridicule and ridicule from her. It was better to avoid her directly.
Adele took a deep breath, walked to the other side, and went upstairs directly.
There were very few people on the stairs, and basically no one came. After Adele took it out, she wiped the wet clothes on her back, and then continued to walk upstairs.
It was her bad luck to meet Sherry today, and if she dared to bully her like this again next time, she would absolutely not swallow her anger!
