Lahat ng Kabanata ng Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Kabanata 1771 - Kabanata 1780

In the corridor outside the emergency room, Sherry squatted down with her blood-stained hands over her head. It had been two hours, yet the door remained closed and the sign remained lit. Sherry saw several medical staff running in and out of the emergency room, but there were no signs of the surgery being over. She had been squatting down for so long that she could not feel her legs anymore. Her body felt cold and stiff. For some reason, her mind kept replaying some old memories while she waited for the surgery to be over. When they were together ten years ago, he had been the Stocktons’ eldest son, a handsome young man with a bright future. He was the ideal husband of many socialites and young ladies in Glenchester, but he had fallen for her out of all the other women. At the start of their relationship, her then-fiance, Mason, was taken away by Shannon, hence she cut all ties with her family, the Fowlers. She relied on her own hands to make a living. He knew she was a wo

“Huh?” Sherry thought she heard John replying. She wanted to pull her hands back to wipe her tears but one of her hands was caught. She wiped her tears with one hand swiftly and then saw John looking at her gently. He looked weak and pale, but he was awake! Sherry’s eyes gleamed as she was surprised. As though he was afraid that she would not keep the promise, he held her hand tightly. He smiled and said, “I heard what you said just now. I know you will keep your promise, am I right?” Sherry’s eyes flickered several times. Seeing his eyes open and him talking to her made Sherry no longer feel less pain. “I said it because I wanted you to wake up,” she said. John’s expression changed. His brows furrowed and he looked like he was in pain. He lost his grip over her hand. Surprised, Sherry immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Is your chest hurting?” “My heart…It hurts…” he said feebly before his eyes closed once more. Sherry got anxious. Was it because of what she sa

"Daddy, what happened to you?” Caprice asked frightfully while slowly tearing up. It hurt Sherry to see her like this. John raised his hand and gently stroked Caprice’s head, "Daddy will be fine." Caprice whimpered, "Daddy, your voice is hoarse." “It’s what happens when you get sick. Daddy will be fine after a few days of rest.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” Caprice pursed her lips and tried to crawl onto the bed. She had trouble climbing up due to her height. All she could manage was to awkwardly prop one of her feet onto the bed, but she did not have the strength to pull her weight onto the bed. She groaned and tried to muster her strength to fling herself onto the bed. Sherry chuckled and stepped forward to help her onto the bed. After Caprice managed to get onto the bed, she crawled over to John and hugged him tightly. She began to blow large puffs of air on his face. She must have learned this from one of those cartoons she liked to watch. “If I keep doin

John smirked and teased her, “Clumsy, aren’t you?” Sherry did not utter a word. Scumbag! "Get your hands off me!” she snapped suddenly. John continued pressing the back of her head, completely unfazed by her outburst. “Were you hurt?" Sherry's felt her cheeks growing red hot. "No!" John smiled, “Alright then, good.” Sherry clenched her jaw and repeated sharply, "Let go!" Or else, she was going to beat him up! "Okay," John said as he pressed her toward him. Sherry felt her weight shifting forward, and in an instant, it seemed like she was zooming in on John’s eyes. She felt the softness of his lips pressing against hers. The warmth and tender texture of his lips sent a wave of electric shock through her. It took her a moment before she fully registered what was happening. Just as she was about to begin swinging her fists at John, he let go of her so that she could pull herself away. She immediately snapped backward like a spring. Her heart was poundin

Sherry quickly cleared things up. "No, I promised to forgive him and to make up with him in time.” “In that case, you should take this." Madam Stockton tried to shove the box into her hands. Sherry insisted on not taking it. “It’s just too sudden. We can talk about this later." Madam Stockton frowned sourly. She expressed with a sigh, “I understand that he hurt you gravely. I should not have forced you two to break up a decade ago. It must have left a bad taste in your mouth. If I were you, I would have a hard time forgiving him as well.” Her voice became choked up as she spoke. Sherry was silent. She winced. This was a tough situation for her. Although some emotions were welling inside her that she still could not look past, she was aware that she had promised John to repair their relationship. She could not go back on her word. She knew that it would not please Madam Stockton if she continued to refuse the family heirloom. "It was all my fault. I've made thing
