Sherry wanted to persuade Channing to go someplace else, but she felt weak.
Channing was more stubborn than Stella.
Daniel said, âThen we should all go together. I wanted to pay Ms. Radomil a visit as well.â
Sherry didnât know what to comment about Daniel.
Daniel was such a busybody.
When they arrived in the hospital, they saw the lights in Stellaâs ward were turned off as they stood in front of the room.
Sherry whispered, âStella is asleep. Letâs go.â
Channing sat on the chair outside the corridor and leaned his head against the wall. He said softly, âIâll stay here. You all should head home.â
âBut you...â
Daniel stopped Sherry before she finished talking.
Daniel told Channing, âWeâll leave now then. Call us if you need anything.â
âSure,â Channing answered.
Daniel held Sherryâs hand and pulled her out of the hospital. After they got out of the hospital, Sherry struggled and got away from Daniel. She frowned, âHow could you let Channing sleep on the corridor? He...â
âHe wonât be able to sleep tonight,â Daniel explained, âI would rather he stay there under the watch of Clarenceâs people than let him go to places we donât know and do something silly. Furthermore, Stellaâs in the room. He wouldnât do anything sill with Stella around.â
It sounded reasonable for Sherry.
Channing was the worst victim in what happened.
Why did Channing have a scumbag father like Jeffrey? Things would be great if Jeffrey wasnât Channingâs birth father.
Daniel realized Sherry zoned out. He approached her and asked, âWhat are you thinking?â
Sherry immediately took a step back when she saw Daniel was so near to her. However, it was a staircase behind Sherry. She fell behind defenceless.
Daniel quickly reached out his hand. He hugged Sherryâs waist and pulled her back.
Sherry felt awkward. Why did these physical contacts keep happening today? It made Sherry seemed like she did it on purpose.
Sherry immediately kept a distance from Daniel after she steadied herself. She smiled, âThank you for everything you did today. We should go home now. I...â
âWhere are you staying now?â
âWhat?â
Daniel said, âI went to your place last night. You werenât there.â
Sherry muttered, âWho dares to stay there after what happened?â
No, wait. Why did Daniel go to her place?
Daniel asked again, âYou lived in the hotel now?â
Sherry nodded in hesitation. She wasnât sure why Daniel asked her that.
âLet me send you back to the hotel.â
âItâs alright. I can take a cab.â
Sherry rejected Daniel right after he offered to send her back to the hotel.
Then, Sherry quickly walked to the roadside. The street was empty. There werenât many private vehicles on the road, let alone cabs.
Sherry took out her phone and booked a cab through a mobile application.
The driver was five kilometres away from Sherry, and it was on the way to pick up Sherry.
Sherry realized Daniel was still standing behind her and didnât leave. She was a little frustrated. Sherry wanted to cancel the previous booking and tried to get a cab nearer to her, but the system informed her that it was the nearest one for her.
Sherry had no choice but to wait for the cab.
Daniel stood still, and he didnât seem like he was going to approach Sherry. Sherry wasnât sure what he wanted to do.
Sherry held her phone, and she was stiff. It was hard for Sherry to remain a good looking view from the back.
A white car stopped in front of Sherry about ten minutes later.
After assuring it was the car Sherry ordered through its car plate number, she opened the door and got into the car.
Daniel memorized the car plate number after Sherry left. Then, he turned around and left the place.
Daniel had so many things to do tonight. So, he couldnât follow her back to the hotel.
After leaving the hospital, Daniel went to Cameronâs house.
Three people were waiting for Daniel in the house. It was for what happened in Jeffreyâs house today.
Cameron quickly stood up with his walking stick when he saw Daniel walking in, âHow was it? Is everything resolved? Did they confirm the identity of the body?â
Daniel nodded, âThey havenât gone through a diagnosis yet, but they can almost confirm the identity. Iâve dealt with the police. None of what happened today could make it to the news.â
Cameron was shaking in anger, âIt is ridiculous! How did he call himself a human? Iâve never expected to hear such a thing in my whole life.â
Emmett held Cameronâs arm and supported him, âPlease calm down, Mr. Thomas. Mind your body.â
Cameron sat down, but he looked terrified, âI could never imagine she was in the wall all these years. What...â
Cameron was choked and coughed.
William stepped in and asked coldly, âWhereâs Jeffrey?â
âHe was arrested.â
âWhat did he say?â
âHe said...â
Daniel felt like it was fortunate enough for Jeffrey because he was the one to be there. If William was the one there, things might get more complicated.
Daniel paused for a while before he continued, âHe said that people were meant to be buried after theyâre dead. So, he buried her in his house and did not take up any public spaces. He didnât do anything wrong.â
Cameron paused for a while, âThe body. Where is it now?â
âThe forensic team is doing their job now. After that, the body is allowed to go home for its funeral. But...â
âBut?â
William stepped in. He sounded cold, âThe body needed to be claimed by a family member.â
Cameron coughed, âThat made sense. The truth had been surfaced now, and Lyndonâs true colour was revealed. You should tell Stella everything.
Whatâs the point of hiding anything from her now?â
William seemed scowled. He remained silent.
Emmett explained, âMr. Thomas, Stella and Channing grew up together and Channing was the most important person for her in this world. He was her only family member.â
Cameron frowned, âSo what? Iâve met Channing. Heâs good looking and obedient. After all, heâs Mirandaâs child. You...â
Daniel continued, âYes, Stella and Channing came from the same mother, but anyhow, Jeffrey was the father. He put Stella in danger too many times before. He even hides a body in the wall. It would be awkward for everyone once Stella found out the truth.â
Cameron sighed and paused. Then, he continued, âAre you sure? Channing wasnât...â
Daniel shook his head.
They have checked many times. Channing was Jeffreyâs child.
William stood up, âItâs getting late. You should take a rest.â
Cameron nodded.
Daniel and Emmett walked behind William. Emmett whispered, âHowâs Stella doing?â
