Chapter 51 – The Man Who Shouldn’t Have Been There
Aaron had been informed of Kate’s admission to the hospital half a month earlier, but he had not given any orders.
Eral couldn’t quite figure out what was going on in his own president’s mind, so he just reported back regularly on Kate’s condition, as instructed.
Today, the hospital found Sherry and followed procedures.
Aaron’s eyes lifted slightly.
“Wait, she’ll come to me.”
Aaron finished the work at hand and got up immediately. It was almost time to finish the day and then go and spend time with Monica.
In an upscale restaurant.
Sherry just felt a chill run through her body as she listened to what Alex had to say.
“Mr. Henry, I am indeed short of money, but a small player like me is not capable of participating in your business game with Aaron, so please spare me.”
Alex inclines his head sideways and raises his hands in a dignified manner.
“I can help you pay for all the costs of your mother’s treatment, you don’t need to borrow money from anyone or worry about her health, and all I need is for you to get me a file from Night Group.”
Although the Night Group has been subject to the Henry Family over the years, there are many things that Aaron has done on his own, and with this document, Alex had to get a head start on the whole thing.
He said this with a slight chill in his eyes.
“Sherry, it’s a solid deal.”
His voice was seductive.
Sherry sat in front of him, her fingers tugging tightly under the tabletop.
“Or perhaps …”
Before Sherry could answer, the phone screen lit up and it was Aaron calling.
Alex raised his eyebrows slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Sherry slowly reached out and pressed the hang-up button straight away.
“That’s right, no one will have a problem with money and it’s a small matter for you now that you’re the assistant president of Night Group.”
“No.”
Sherry lifted her head and faced the man straight in front of her, “Mr. Henry, you think too highly of me.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“I do need money, but this kind of money, I won’t take.”
Sherry finished and walked out without looking back.
She faced the cold wind and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she would think of a way to raise the money, not in this way.
Sherry walked faster and faster, and after buying a bouquet of gardenias from a florist, headed straight for the sanatorium.
The last time she was chased by those patients, she didn’t get to meet Monica properly at all.
And it is the only day in the year that Aaron allows outsiders to visit Monica.
Some of Monica’s former friends and classmates would come and visit her and talk to her for a while.
Sherry didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
This time next year, there’s no telling where she’ll be.
The only way she could feel less guilty was to see Monica’s peace of mind with her own eyes.
“Fill out the visitation form.” The staff member handed over a piece of paper.
Sherry hesitated for a moment, but wrote down her own name.
She had no intention of lying to Aaron, and everyone who had visited Monica today would be reported to him.
Even if he knew he would punish her, Sherry had to go in.
“Come with me.”
The staff led her inside.
The large courtyard seemed like a world apart from the outside. Just rounding the corner, I saw two girls in designer clothes approaching.
Sherry has an impression of these two people, both seem to be plutocrats’ daughters, and used to be close to Monica.
Monica must have been delighted that they came to see her.
“Please, I’ll just go over with them.” The staff also knew that the outsiders were coming to see Miss Swift Family today, “Okay, feel free to let us know if anything comes up.”
Sherry nods and walks quickly past, holding the flowers.
But just as I was about to say hello to them, I heard some conversation that I shouldn’t have heard.
“How did you bully her this year? Throw her in the pond?”
“No point, better to lie to her and say she’s a flower and just bury her.”
Two slender figures come together, covering their mouths and laughing.
Sherry stood just behind them, her brow furrowed.
“I wouldn’t be here to see Monica if Aaron’s business wasn’t so big and handsome, what a waste of time.”
“That’s right, my mum had to have me over to make a show of it … Forget it, go over there, at the very least it’s fun to tease her.”
Sherry ducked in place and watched as they walked over and pretended to play games with Monica, pouring fruit juice on her.
Because of Aaron’s orders, none of the nurses were with Monica today, and even if they found her in such a mess afterwards, they would most likely think she had done it herself.
How could it be suspected that it was these two millennials who had been kind enough to come and see their friends?
Sherry’s fingertips clasped the trunk of the tree as she watched them take out their lipstick again and draw on Monica’s face.
“Stop it!”
This is not what Monica wanted for her birthday, definitely not!
Three people heard the sound and looked at her at the same time, including Monica.
“Who are you?”
The other one got a good look at Sherry and exclaimed, “Aren’t you that Sherry? Edith, she’s the one who did this to Monica.”
Edith’s hand lifted and the lipstick was thrown straight at Monica.
“It’s her, and she has the nerve to come here?”
The condescending look of indifference on both their faces was annoying.
“Monica, are you all right? Don’t you eat that, let me wipe you.” Sherry pressed her hand with concern and used the wet wipes that were kept under the wheelchair to wipe her face.
The two millennials over there didn’t even move, instead looking at them with condescending posture.
“Hey, is it fun for you to come here now and pretend?”
“Or do you have a more fun idea!”
Sherry turned back in anger and stared at them both, “I’m not like you, it’s Monica’s birthday, you better apologize to her.”
“You, and so righteous, if anyone else had said such things to accuse us, I might have been scared, but you, you deserve it?”
Edith instantly walked over, picked up a piece of cake straight away and asked Monica, “Want some?”
Monica, bewildered, looked at them and nodded with a smile, and the next moment, with a satisfied smile, Edith placed the whole piece of cake on Monica’s head.
She was full of eyes and face.
But she doesn’t even know they are bullying her.
“Monica, isn’t it delicious? I had it flown in from overseas especially for you.” Edith’s smile deepened, “Make sure you lick it up, don’t waste my good intentions, and remember to tell your brother that we are very good friends, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the time to look after you, silly boy!”
The man next to her immediately covered his mouth, ” Edith, don’t say that, she may be stupid but she can hear you.”
“What are you afraid of? I’ll be back on time this time next year to congratulate her.”
Edith looked provocatively at Sherry who was shielding Monica, “I’m not like some people who talk out of turn.”
Sherry stared dead at them both and the man next to her pulled Edith, “She looks like …”
After hearing her out, Edith blushed slightly but grunted, “All right, that’s enough for today, what a bummer.”
With that, she was about to pick up her designer bag and leave, but Sherry snatched it up before she could, snatched it right out of her hand and threw it into the pond.
“Ah!”
