SWNOVELS Chapter 45: Who's Old Acquaintance
"No, Mr. Rowland is my superior. I should respect you!" Sherry's heart started to pound. When he said she has successfully interest him. Oh lord, she wanted to die!
"Sherry!"
"Yes?" She waited for his following words but he remained silent.
Sherry stole a peek at the man's chiseled good looks. He exudes a manly air that causes women to become dizzy and flustered. But she never daydreamed and would never let the chance of being attracted to any man to come into her head because she had lost the right to be loved.
"Sherry, you are different from other women!" These words weren't spoken. William continued to drive the car but, in his heart, he began to understand this petite lady.
"Sammy really likes you!" William said.
"lalso like him very much!" Sherry thought about that beautiful and adorable child who was very much like Dan. But he was not as outgoing as Dan and was very shy. He was so shy that it made her heartache, "Mr. Rowland, I'm so sorry yesterday. I didn't know the truth of the matter and said what I shouldn't say. Please don't take it to heart."
When he heard her explanation, William didn't change his expression, looked at sherry, and said nonchalantly, "What did you say? I had already forgotten it!"
Forgotten? Sherry looked at William in disbelief but she could not detect any emotions from that calm expression. She turned back her head doubtfully but did not say a word.
William brought her to the hospital to change her dressing and bandages. When the nurses saw William, they became enchanted by his dashing good looks but William ignored their antics.
The corridor was very crowded and William held onto Sherry's waist and said, "Watch it, don't be knocked down by others!"
"Mr. Rowland, I'm fine!" Sherry wanted to break free.
But he held tightly onto her waist and whispered into her ear, "Don't struggle if you don't want me to carry you.'
Sherry was afraid that he would do that and had no choice but to accept him holding onto her waist. But the feeling of him
holding onto her waist was damn good!
William's deep dark eyes sparkled and he tightened his grip and she was held even closer in his embrace.
Just endure it! Sherry was conflicted and she lowered her face and looked towards the ground. She endeavored to think of the person beside her as a puppet.
After changing her bandages, she would definitely run away from him.
"Do you like to look onto the ground when you walk?" William looked at Sherry as he noticed that she didn't like him to hug her.
"I don't... ah! My head!" She snapped her head upwards and didn't expect to hit William's chin. Sherry swore softly, why was his chin so hard? Oh lord! It hurt so much!
"Is it very painful?" William rubbed Sherry's head and was amused by her flustered actions.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Sherry could feel the warmth of the large hand on her head and she frowned. She quickly pulled down William's hand and rejected his intimate gesture, "Mr. Rowland, it's better that I walk on my own."
She can't walk properly with him holding onto her like that.
"Then let's do this." His large hands grabbed Sherry's hand. His five fingers immediately could feel Sherry's body tense up and William started to smile. It also felt good to be holding her hand.
Finally, her wound was cleaned and there was no infection. The dressing was changed and properly bandaged.
William held her hand and was about to leave. Along the long corridor, a doctor in a white robe walked over. Sherry started to frown when she saw the doctor and seemed to have seen her before but she couldn't remember when.
Sherry was unable to recall or perhaps she misidentified the doctor. She shook her head, perhaps she couldn't recall properly because of the lack of rest.
"Mr. Rowland?!" Unexpectedly, the doctor greeted William when she approached. She seemed surprised to see him.
William also appeared very surprised, "Dr. Lee, it's you!"
"Ah! How are you doing Mr. Rowland? it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you today. It's great!" Dr. Lee was surprised to see William at the hospital. She seemed to have something to say but didn't speak when she saw Sherry by his side.
Sherry was intelligent and realized that she should excuse herself. She said softly, "Mr. Rowland, I'll wait for you outside"
William acknowledged. As she was about to round the corner of the corridor, she looked back and saw that William was saying something to Dr. Lee.
Sherry continued to look at the doctor as she walked. She could see them from a distance through the glass panel windows and was pondering about Dr. Lee as she walked.
"Mr. Rowland, how is Ms. Mclean doing?" Dr. Lee asked.
William was stunned and nodded, "She should be doing fine" He had not seen her for three years. He only heard that she was doing fine.
Dr. Lee asked again, "Our hospital recently brought in a new machine. It will be very beneficial to Ms. Mclean's condition"
William's body tensed up and his expression froze. After a while, he asked, "Can it be cured?"
"I can't say for certain but at least there is hope now. Except that we can't contact Ms. Mclean and it's so fortunate that I meet
you today!" Dr. Lee smiled and obviously didn't know about the details of their situation.
William nodded, "Okay, I will have someone to inform her to contact you, Dr. Lee. Please take good care of her'
"Mr. Rowland, don't stand on ceremony. Ms. Mclean is such a nice person and will be blessed. Rest assured that it's my honor to be of service to both of you. Mr. Rowland, you and Ms. Mclean will have your own baby!"
"Hmm!" William became stupefied by what Dr. Lee said. "Dr. Lee, I will find a way to contact her, thanks!"
"Okay! Bye!" Dr. Lee walked towards the lift.
"Hey..." As Dr. Lee walked off, Sherry rushed back towards the corridor and shouted, "Wait! Doctor!"
William was stunned when he saw Sherry running over. She shouted loudly, "Doctor, wait, wait!"
"What are you doing?" William was puzzled.
Sherry ran over and ignored William. She grabbed Dr. Lee and she was startled and turned around. Sherry was so agitated that she didn't know what to say.
Dr. Lee saw that she was the lady who was with Mr. Rowland and said in a friendly manner, "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Doctor, I would like to ask you. Do you know a Mr. Mollison? A Mr. Mollison who was here five years ago?" Sherry remembered that she was the doctor who examined her five years ago.
"Miss!" Dr. Lee answered, "I know a lot of people with the last name of Mollison. I'm not sure which one you are referring to?"
"Do you remember me?" Sherry pointed to herself and asked carefully.
Dr. Lee looked at her and shook her head, "Miss, we as doctors see hundreds of patients every day. I'm so sorry, I don't
remember you:'
William realized what Sherry was asking about and immediately walked over and held onto Sherry's hand, "Let's go, don't interfere with the doctor's time. She is very busy"
"But.." Sherry shook her head, "Mr. Rowland, please wait a moment, just a moment!"
Sherry's expression was so eager because she wanted to know the origin of Mr. Mollison. She hoped that the doctor knew
him. "Dr. Lee, please think carefully. Do you remember me? Five years ago, you examined my body, have you forgotten?"
Dr. Lee smiled and looked carefully at Sherry again. "Miss, I'm very sorry, I've seen a lot of patients and I don't remember you. I'm truly sorry!"
"Oh!" Sherry was utterly disappointed.
William pulled her over and apologized to Dr. Lee, "Dr. Lee, I'm sorry, we'll leave now"
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Rowland!" Dr. Lee said politely and went into the lift.
Sherry was devastated that this doctor didn't recognize her! When can she find Mr. Mollison?
She thought about her son who was forcibly taken from her. She also thought about seeing Mr. Mollison at the Rowland
Group. Sherry couldn't resist and asked,
"Mr. Rowland, is there a manager with the last name Mollison in the company?"
William's expression changed and nodded, "No!"
"Oh!" She hung her head in despair and a tear rolled down her cheek.
It's hopeless! It's hopeless!
William looked at her walk along the corridor and he followed along. Sherry sat at a bench along the road to rest. She appeared to be exhausted.
William stood under the sun and lit a cigarette. He looked at her from a distance and smoked the cigarette. William finally walked over with the cigarette in his fingers. He sat down beside her and asked tenderly, "Is there something on your mind?"
"No, not at all!" Sherry realized that she had made a scene and shook her head, "Perhaps I am mistaken." She explained her actions.
"Sherry, my son likes you very much!" William said.
"Hmm? She didn't understand his sudden statement.
"Will you become my woman?' He took another draw of the cigarette.
"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry looked at him seriously and firmly rejected, "No!"
He sighed, "Come, let's go and eat something!"
During the meal, each of them was thinking of their respective personal problems.
Sherry wanted to leave after eating a few bites but William spoke, "I'll take you to a place!"
"Where?" Sherry was puzzled.
"You'll know when you get there!"
Thereafter, the two remained silent as William drove and took her to a high-end kindergarten.
Looking at her surprised expression, William explained, "My son does not have a mother and that's why he is very reserved and has an inferiority complex. I hope that you can help me today!"
She was stunned but didn't understand what William wanted of her, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Can you temporarily pretend to be the mother of my child?"
"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry understood, "But this doesn't seem appropriate. I'm not the child's mother and she is irreplaceable!"
"Certainly you can come and visit him?" William asked.
Sherry looked at his face and thought about the way Sammy said that he didn't have a mother. She finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go and see him!"
They got out of the car and Sherry saw William saying something to the kindergarten teacher. The teacher looked coyly at William and then turned to return to the classroom.
Shortly after.
A little boy wearing a suit walked out. When he saw the two persons standing at the door, he suddenly smiled radiantly and then dashed over to them.
William started to grin when he saw the little man running over.
