Chapter 1775
Carl came back with breakfast and was standing outside the glass window. He looked disheartened when he saw
the scene inside the ICU.
He put the breakfast on the bench that Sherry sat on earlier and left quietly.
Sherry stayed by John’s side for a while before her stomach started to growl.
John released her hand and told her to get something to eat.
Sherry walked out of the ICU.
The corridor was quiet.
Sherry took off her visiting gown when she came out. She went on her phone to order some food, but then she
noticed the breakfast on the bench.
Surprised, she looked at Jason who was on guard further away. “Jason, who bought this?”
“Young Master Carl.”

“He left.”
Sherry was silent for a moment. She then asked, “Have you eaten?”
“I have, Madam.”
The nurse in charge of checking up on John just wanted to ask her colleague to bring her breakfast and Sherry was
aware of it. She gave the nurse the extra breakfast meal and took the other one herself.
The ICU forbade any visiting other than medical staff. The reason why Sherry was able to go in earlier was that John
had requested her presence from the doctor.
Sherry stayed outside the ICU for the rest of the day.
Lisa visited once in the afternoon. Learning that John had woken up, she accompanied Sherry to lunch
before leaving again.
A while later, Aunt Wanda called her.
Caprice had been missing her parents for a whole day and wanted to see them.
Sherry talked to Caprice through the phone and lullabied her to sleep before hanging up. She stayed at the hospital
until sunset.
The doctor went into the ICU and gave John another check-up. John was then transferred to a normal ward, and
Sherry followed him there.
John was transferred to the most expensive ward in the hospital, and it was Sherry who paid for it herself. The room
felt comfortable, but the closed window looked a little stuffy.
After John settled down, Sherry went to open the window and allowed the comfortable breeze to enter.
John leaned against the bed and watched her move around the room.
Sherry felt uncomfortable being watched. After she opened the window, she turned to him and said, “Can you stop
staring at me?”
John smiled. “You have dark circles. Didn’t sleep last night?”
Sherry’s eyes flickered nervously. “I did, but the bed is not comfortable. I didn’t get a good sleep.”
John pursed his lips. “Then, you should get some rest.”

The girl called her again after she woke up from her nap. She asked why they had not come home last night and
sounded worried.
Now that John had been transferred to a normal ward, Aunt Wanda could bring the girl over to visit.
John said, “Okay.”
Sherry sat on the couch and picked up a book to read. She was never a reader. The reason why she picked the
book up was to hide her face behind it and stop him from staring at her.
He might not be embarrassed, but she was.
John smiled when he saw her bury her face behind a book. He picked up his phone and checked on the messages
that he left out for the past two days.
Things quieted down in the room until the door was opened and Caprice waddled her way in.
Sherry put the book down.
Caprice waddled to the bed and looked at John with teary eyes.
Sherry told Caprice about John’s condition, but she did not tell the girl that he had been stabbed. She simply said
John fell down and hurt himself.
When the girl saw her father in the patient’s gown and his pale look, she looked worried and sad.
