Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 269
Athana Hospital’s cafeteria
The three women at the table were chatting. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles Sherri was the happiest that day.
Rose ate a mouthful of her rice and asked Sherri, who sat opposite her, “I want to interview the future bride. Do you have any
thoughts on your upcoming marriage?”
Shern cleared her throat and said, “Ahem, first of all, I’d like to thank my parents for giving birth and raising me Thank you to my
best friends. Thank you...
Natalie almost spat out her rice when she heard that. She quickly reached out to stop herself from puking. “My dear, there’s no
need to be so official. You arent walking the red carpet. Just do it subtly. Save the gratitude speech for the day of your wedding.
Don’t waste your energy.”
Sherri moved her butt and sat up straight “Alright, I’ll keep that away first. I’m dissatisfied that Hackett didn’t propose to me. I
want a ceremonial proposal. Is that so difficult to achieve?”
Rose comforted Sherri, ‘It’s alright. It’s our first time being human and our first time getting married. Shall we give him a hint on
your behalf?”
Natalie muttered, “No, this is my second marriage. It was you who didn’t notice.”
As they were talking, a commotion started in the cafeteria. Several men in black suits with violins and saxophones in their hands
came from the cafeteria’s entrance and approached Sherri’s table.
Sherri, who had always been gossipy, said excitedly to Natalie beside her. “Could it be that someone is proposing in the
cafeteria? This is so
romantic.”
Natalie felt that something was wrong. She turned to look at her gossipy best friend and said subtly, “Sherri, could this be
arranged by Hackett?”
The performance was attention-seeking. Natalie had never heard of any nurses or doctors in the hospital dating high-profile
children of the nouveau riche other than Sherri. Could it be that she was ignorant?

However, this display was in line with something Hackett would do.
Sherri brushed it off without hesitation and said, “You’re overthinking it. I haven’t sent him a message yet.”
Rose looked at the scene and fell into deep thought. The public display looked vaguely similar. The difference was that the man
back then did not like her. However, there were many involved in the proposal in both circumstances. “I was humiliated while
another lady was witnessing her bliss,” Rose thought.
The next moment, a familiar figure walked out of the door suavely. His hair was combed neatly. He was wearing a white suit and
a light pink shirt. He held a large bouquet of fiery red roses and strode towards Sherrl.
He walked with an arrogant posture.
This was undoubtedly the protagonist of the day. He was just short of having a sparkly halo over his head.
As soon as the protagonist appeared, a ballad was blasted in the cafeteria. It was a symphony of saxophones and violins. It was
pleasant to the ears and lifted the mood of everyone present
When Sherri saw Hackett, the tableware in her mouth fell onto the table with a plop. She was dumbfounded as she watched her
handsome Prince Charming walk towards her.
Natalie couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. She was right. It was Hackett’s proposal, she had guessed it correctly. She nudged
Sherri’s arm and said, “Come back to your senses. What are you thinking about? What are you doing? He’s already standing in
front of you”
Sherri came to her senses and looked excitedly at the suave man before her. He took the microphone from a boy in uniform and
serenaded Sherri affectionately. ‘Til fall in love with you slowly.”
“We’ll kiss each other slowly”
“We’ll talk about yourself slowly
“We’ll get together slowly under the beautiful sunset”
“I want to listen to everything you have to say
“Give me to you slowly”

After the song unded, Hackett handed the microphone to the man in uniform and slowly approached Sherri. Natalie stood up
tactfully and moved aside. Rose also stood up, leaving the spotlight for today’s protagonists.
The next second, Hackett knelt on one knee and raised the rose. He looked up at Sherri with sincerity and love and proclaimed,
“Sherri, I, Hackett Blackwell, have fallen deeply in love with you. I’ve already been to your house to seek your parent’s
permission earlier today. This isn’t me acting first and reporting later. I wanted to obtain our father’s permission before proposing
to you. I promise to dote on you in the future.
You have the final say in this family in the future. Sherri, please marry me.”
Rose thought. “This proposal speech seemed improvised and sounded too stoppy Shouldn’t Hackett include more touching
moments between the couple in his speech so that it’ll be more moving? That way, Sherri would cry even harder
Hackett’s words were very casual, but Sherri was already moved beyond tears. Sherri was crying. She wiped her tears with a
tissue nonstop. Indeed, people deeply in love with each other could be touched by just one word. There was no need for sweet
nothings or thousands of words
Hackett further revealed, “I admit that I did not approach you from the beginning out of affection, I only approached you because
I betted with others that you would agree to sleep with me. Meanwhile, I fell for your cuteness, kindness, beauty, generosity, and
willfulness. I’m blissful even when you hit me. I am just being silly like that. I enjoy playing and joking around with you Time
passes slowly when we are apart. Sherri, I’ve fallen in love with you. I’ll never leave you for the rest of my life. My love, please
accept me”
Everyone in the cafeteria was stunned. It seemed Mr. Blackwell had fallen in love with the other party because of a bet. What a
big deal. II was inevitable for him to fall in love eventually since he was hanging out with so many women often.
Sherri was already crying her heart out. She cried nonstop. She stood up panting while she held Hackett, who was still kneeling
while saying. “Why are you so adorable?”
Hackett hugged Sherri. He hugged her tightly from behind. He hugged her for a long while. After a while. Rose hinted at Hackett
as she said softly. “Where’s the ring?”
Only then did Hackett remember that there was one less segment. He quickly stepped back and stuffed the flowers into Sherri’s
arms. He carefully wiped the tears off her face, took the ring from his pocket, and knelt on one knee again to propose

A dreamy snowflake-cut diamond ring appeared in front of everyone. Many in the cafeteria stood on stools to see what was
going on.
All of them raised their necks and stuck their heads out like giraffes.
The lifelike snowflakes were made of diamonds. They were as white as snow and filled with natural diamonds. They sparkled
under the warm light and were very dazzling
Sherri stretched out her right hand as a tear rolled down her cheeks. Hackett helped her put the ring on slowly. The ring quietly
bloomed with romance and elegance on Sherri’s fair fingertips.
The surrounding diamonds complemented the dazzling center stone. The ring sparkled in all directions.
Snow is always white and flawless. Snow on tree branches and rooftops is always pure and white, putting everyone at ease in
winter. The snow covered world is crystal clear and pristine
After putting on the ring. Hackett was pulled up by Sherri. People around them began to jeer. Hackett helped Sherri wipe off her
tears as people around them chanted, “Kiss, kiss, kiss...”
Hackett wiped Sherri’s tears and asked, “Can I kiss you in the hospital?”
The crowd in the cafeteria was in high spirits. They would be letting down the onlookers if they did not kiss.
Sherri nodded with tears in her eyes as she was already touched. The surprise came so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
She was not prepared at all. She almost could not withstand it
Upon receiving her approval, Hackett cupped Sherri’s cheeks and planted a French kiss on her soft lips. Hackett then grinned
and hugged Sherri by her waist as Sherri leaned into his arms.
Hackett proclaimed to the rest of the crowd, “From now on, Dr. Landor is my wife. I hope everyone can take care of her on my
behalf in the future. Thank you very much. I’ll treat everyone to a month’s worth of coffee.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another commotion in the cafeteria. There was gratitude and blessings.
Natalie, who was standing by the couple’s side, was touched. She was tearing in joy. She was full of blessings for the couple.
She felt relief.

“The unexpected proposal, the snowflake-cut diamond ring, and Hacketts revelation illustrated how serious and thoughtful he
was towards Sherri. Sherri, my dear, my good friend, I wish you nothing but bliss for the rest of your life ahead,” Natalie thought.
Natalie sincerely wished both well from the bottom of her heart.
Ros also gave her blessings to the couple as she cried. She raised his hands first in the air and started clapping in rhythm.
As soon as she started, everyone followed and started clapping their hands. The cafeteria was full of blessings from the crowd.
May destiny always bring lovers together
Sherri spent the entire afternoon in excitement. She would periodically glance at the ring on her finger and smile foolishly to
herself. The patient she was consulting thought there was something wrong with his doctor.
The media caught wind of the proposal immediately. The proposal was at noon, and the media had reported the event by
afternoon. News about the couple was trending online again with several hashtags, “Mr. Blackwell proposed to his fiancee in the
cafeteria at noon with a showflake-cut diamond ring after his engagement was announced in the morning”, “Mr. Blackwell’s
romantic proposal at Athana Hospital
ended up with him agreeing to buy all medical staff coffee for one month in exchange for everyone taking care of his wife”,
“Hackett Blackwell of the Blackwell family turns from a casanova to a dedicated man”, “the prodigal one turns into a sentimental
man”.
There were all kinds of headlines. There was nothing one could not think of and nothing one could not see.
At the Wilson Group
Trevon had just finished an executive meeting and was walking past the secretary department.
Several secretaries who were chatting did not notice Trevon’s presence. They continued discussing among themselves, “I’m so
envious of Miss Landor. Mr. Blackwell is so romantic. This snowflake-cut diamond ring is so beautiful.”
“That’s right. It’s filled with diamonds. Look at how sparkly it is. It’s beautiful. Indeed, rich people marry one another. We’re mere
employees. slogging away.”
“We are better off working. We’ll never get a ring like this in our dreams”

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they did not notice that Trevon had already stopped by the secretary
department for a few minutes. Jim kept glancing at them, but it was futile.
He could only silently pray for these people.
Trevon looked at them somberly and said sternly, “These people will not be getting their salaries today Jim Hawk, have you been
lax recently? You can’t even manage the secretary department in order.”
Jim was upset over being implicated and glared at the culprits.
The secretaries quickly diverted their attention to look for something to do. They were trembling in fear, afraid that they would be
fired. It was not easy for them to join the Wilson Group. They looked across the room at Jim with pleading eyes
Jim thought, “You’re on your own.”
The secretaries lowered their heads and were speechless. If they had known earlier, they would not have chatted amongst
themselves.
Jim repeatedly thought of a reason for Mr. Wilson’s anger. He had never been that furious when he saw the secretaries chatting
previously. Why was he so angry today?
As Treyon walked into the office, Jim leaned on the desk and crossed his fingers as Trevon interrogated the secretaries, “What
were you talking about just now?”
The secretaries did not dare to gossip anymore. They shook their heads simultaneously and tried to assure Trevon, “Mr. Hawk,
we promise not
to gossip anymore.”
Jim Hawk knew the secretaries were frightened and replied. “Don’t worry, I won’t fire you. I want to understand what you were
talking about. If you don’t say anything, you might be fired.”
The secretaries responded, “Okay, we’ll talk, we’ll talk.”
The secretaries told Jim about the news they had seen and the content of their conversations.
Jim understood. He seemed to have solved the case and thought, “How could he have guessed it right? Mr. Wilson had been
with Mrs. Wilson for so long, but Mr. Wilson had yet to propose. Mr. Blackwell had already been on the trending searches twice

and monopolized the headlines all day. Wasn’t this embarrassing for Mr. Wilson?”
After understanding the situation, Jim entered the room and tried to give Trevon some suggestions, “Mr. Wilson, I think it’s time
you propose to
Mrs. Wilson too.”
Upon hearing this. Trevon listened quietly and did not interrupt Jim.
Just when Jim thought that he was on the right track, he continued. “Mr. Wilson, do you want to propose to Mrs. Wilson...”
After thinking for half a second, Trevon tapped on the table lightly and said, “You can leave now.”
Seeing that his boss seemed alright, Jim felt relieved and said with a smile, “Okay”
After Jim left, Trevon turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. He fell into deep thought. What should he do?
