Chapter 1248

Sherry had a nightmare.

She dreamed that she was being chased by someone. Then she fell off the cliff and dangled over a thick branch.

Then, it was John who came to her rescue. Not Sylvia, not Odell.

He was wearing all white and his gold-framed glasses shone underneath the moonlight. He leaned over the edge of the cliff and

smiled cunningly at her. “Sherry, you've got two options. Either | pull you up and you come with me, or you can plunge to your

death.”

Underneath the thick shroud of darkness, his terrible glower seemed to shine like that of the devil’s. His smile was crooked and

sinister.

She was filled with fear and hatred for the man. She had a feeling that he would torture her to death if she fell into his clutches

again.

She looked at the river underneath and threw herself off the branch.

Atush of fear met her at the same ferocity as the raging currents underneath. Then, she shot up from her bed with a loud cry.

Sylvia, who was sleeping on the reclining chair, was jolted

awake by her cry. She looked at her with alarm. “Sherry, is everything okay?”

Sherry looked at her with tears in her eyes. “I dreamed of that b*stard John.”

She was very emotional and there were beads of cold sweat trickling down her forehead. It was not hard to tell her that she had

a nightmare.

Sylvia sat next to her and embraced her. “It's okay, it's just a nightmare. He doesn’t know you're alive, and even if he does, he

won't be able to find you.”

Suddenly, the phone in Sylvia‘s pocket rang.

Sherry glanced at the phone.

Sylvia looked at the display and mentioned , “It's from Odell.”

She put the phone to her ear.

She heard Odell's low and earthy voice from the other end of the phone. “John probably knows that Sherry is alive. He's coming

to Westchester with his men right now.”

Sylvia frowned. “How did he find out so quickly?”

“The police must've found some vital clues in the forest. Make sure Sherry lies low in the hospital for now. John can’t find her as

long as she doesn't leave the hospital.”

“Okay, | understand.”

She hung up the call and turned to Sherry. Sherry asked with a tight grimace, “Is he on the way here?”

“Yeah...” Sylvia relayed everything Odell had told her.

Sherry clutched the quilt tightly in her hands. “I see, I'm not going anywhere.”

“Alright, you can continue to recover from your injuries here without worry. The hospital staff will also keep you safe. If you need

anything at all, Ben and Wanda are here to help you as well.”

Sylvia could not stay here much longer.

John must have suspected that she and Odell were involved in Sherry’s rescue. If he was coming to Westchester, he would visit

them right away and it would garner suspicion if she was not at home.

She had to head home.

Sherry nodded and let her go without protest.

Sylvia rose and was about to head out when she noticed the tight frown zipped across Sherry‘s brows. She still seemed

shellshocked with fear.

It was probably a mixture of the shock from her nightmare combined with the trauma from being hunted down in the forest.

She could not feel at ease leaving Sherry alone. She took her phone and went to the window to make a call.

Shortly after the call, she returned to the bed and stated with a bright smile, “Sherry, someone will come to keep you company

real soon. Just call me if you need anything.”

She prepared a new phone for Sherry and lay it next to the pillow. Sherry seemed confused and asked with intrigue, “Who's

coming here to keep me company?” Sylvia smiled and said, “You'll know.” Sherry smiled weakly. “Go on now, you need to go

home.”

“Yeah.”

Sylvia left. The ward fell silent again.
