Man, what's wrong with you? Chapter 49 Intimate Moment

Sherry started feeling weak and knew something was wrong. She shyly looked down at her hands and
said, "Thank you so much for coming to see me but I think I need to rest. Can you guys please give me
some time alone?"

Jeremy had a slight smile briefly fall on his lips. He wasn't happy that Sherry wanted him to leave but
as he was about to speak Chester perked up and said, "Okay sure. Whatever you want. If you need
anything, I'm right outside the door."

Raising her head, Sherry smiled as she thanked him. Chester smiled in kind as he left the room.

Jeremy was angry but he thought of the pain Sherry just suffered and calmed himself down.

He stood up and covered Sherry with a quilt. He as gently as possible said, "I'll leave now. Call me if
you need anything."

Sherry seemed to ignore him. She didn't respond nor smile as she did to Chester. She just blankly
stared out the window waiting for him to leave.

Jeremy didn't say another word. He left Sherry alone and gently closed the door on the way out.

He came out to see Chester holding his phone in his hand. He looked like he was about to make a call.

Chester put the phone to his ear and confidently said, "Beisy, I am at the hospital. No, Miss Xu is
injured. Prepare this for me, I want..."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jeremy coldly and aggressively barked, "You can leave. I'm going to
stay here."

Chester put his phone away and turned to Jeremy in response.



Jeremy stared back calmly. The once calm atmosphere suddenly felt a lot more hostile.

When they were in school they were both quite popular. They didn't really know each other but they
heard each other's name a lot.

It was outrageously difficult to be civil now though. They both wanted to take care of Sherry.

"No. Sherry was at the party on behalf of the company. As her boss I'm going to be responsible for her
and take care of her," Chester assertively said.

Under the harsh, white fluorescent light of the corridor, the two men glared at each other. They were
both tall and handsome with impressive builds.

The difference was that Chester was gentle and friendly, while Jeremy was as cold as an iceberg.

"Really? If the relationship between you and her is apparently just about work, how can you compare
that with what her and I have?" Jeremy gave a scornful smile.

This wasn't the first time that Chester talked about Sherry so intimately.

Chester addressing her as "Sherry" instead of "Miss Xu" made Jeremy go mad with jealousy.

"So, what's your relationship with her?" asked Chester.

Chester vaguely knew the answer, but he didn't want to admit it.

He'd seen Jeremy and Sherry together in the past on multiple occasions. However in the past few days
he noticed how cold she was towards Jeremy.

It was so much more than a lovers' quarrel. It seemed as though Sherry looked at Jeremy more
estranged than anything.



Jeremy proudly strolled towards him and arrogantly said, "She is my woman. My woman!"

Chester surprisingly didn't react as Jeremy expected. He wasn't angry or shocked, but he just simply
smiled and looked back at him quietly.

"She's my woman and you don't need to take care of her. So you shouldn't have called to sort things
out for her. That's not your job," asserted Jeremy.

No matter when and where he was, Jeremy spoke with his arrogant attitude as usual.

Chester shook his head and looked into his eyes with a cold smile. "Sherry has never admitted that.
You actually don't have the right. She is my employee and I have the obligation to protect her safety."

Jeremy frowned and gave a scornful smile. "What if I told you that she is my wife and we are married?"

This stopped Chester dead in his tracks. The bemusement could be seen in his eyes, which was so
evident.

Satisfied with his reaction, Jeremy said, "We've been married for three years. Sherry wanted a job.
That's why she is employed by SZ Advertising Company."

He was so shocked that he could only suspiciously question what Jeremy said. He managed to keep
his emotions in check and then realized that Jeremy wasn't known to be a liar.

Jeremy had too much pride to lie.

"Who do you think is really qualified to take care of her?" Jeremy raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chester's heart suddenly felt so heavy. It sank like a stone in the ocean when he heard Jeremy's
question.



He knew Jeremy and Sherry had a special connection but he didn't think it would be something of that
magnitude. It was such a shocking blow to Chester.

Chester was speechless. Jeremy turned around and walked into the ward.

Chester was still left in a daze. He had to believe what Jeremy said, he had no reason not to. They
were really a couple!

Chester was so discombobulated that he didn't even realize he was walking out the hospital. He kept
thinking about the situation between Sherry and Jeremy. When she fell Jeremy did get there first.
Jeremy's words still haunted him and rang around in his head.

Sherry Xu, was really his wife. According to her resume, she was still single though.

There was a hint of bitterness creeping in his heart.

As soon as Jeremy entered the ward, he heard a woman's whisper.

He felt a pit in his stomach and immediately thought that there was something wrong with Sherry. He
rushed to her bedside.

Sherry lay on her stomach with her eyes closed, tightly gripping the bed sheet. She seemed to be
feeling sharp pains throughout her body.

"Does it still hurt?" Jeremy sat on the edge of the bed and looked over her, concerned.

He was more heartbroken than she was. Seeing her in pain made his heart ache.

Sherry slightly opened her eyes to see the concern radiating from Jeremy.

She turned her head, faced away from him.



"I'm fine. You can leave!" she said coldly.

Looking at the back of her head, Jeremy longed to turn her around to face him!

"Is it not serious? Do you need me to call the doctor?" He was getting quite agitated since she wanted
everyone to leave her alone. She was suffering alone and that made his heart ache to the core.

"No its fine!" she shouted while coughing.

"Okay, I won't call them. Relax." Jeremy put his hand on her shoulder gently and felt her trembling.

"You can leave now! I'm trying to rest," said Sherry in a low voice, trying hard to struggle away from
him.

The pain was actually killing her, but she didn't want him to see that.

She'd rather endure the pain than show him that she's hurting.

"You want me to leave so Chester can come take care of you, right?" scoffed Jeremy.

Hearing this, Sherry was disheartened and flustered. She didn't understand why he'd be so ridiculous.
Her shoulders trembled under his hand while saying, "I'm too tired to argue with you."

"Chester left and so did Steve. Only I can stay here with you," Jeremy said firmly.

His scent crept into her nose again. His domineering words made Sherry feel weak and helpless.

Although he tried to hide his anger, Sherry knew him well enough to know that he was suppressing it.

She was all too used to his short temper even with trivial things.



"I feel awful with you here." She didn't want to hurt his feelings but she had no choice. She just wanted
him to leave but he was refusing to.

"I have to stay with you! If it makes you feel bad, I'm going to stay with you until you get used to it!"
Jeremy growled at her.

Sherry was stunned, burying her face in the pillow. The pain attacked her like a giant wave smothering
her body. She could only bear it silently, unable to resist it.

The moment Jeremy blurted his words out at Sherry, he immediately regretted it.

She was badly injured, and needed to be cared for, but he roared at her regardless of her poor
situation.

"Don't worry about anything. I'm going to stay at your side," he calmly and gently said.

She was stubborn as a mule but there was no changing Jeremy's mind now.

Sherry still lay with her back facing him. Jeremy couldn't fight his urge to stretch his arm out and he
gently stroked her hair.

This woman was way too prideful! How could she open up to him so slowly?

Sherry slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Jeremy wasn't sure if she was asleep or not but her breathing gradually slowed. He quietly stood up
and went into the hall to call Barry.

It was already late so Barry was on the way to bed when Jeremy called. 'Isn't it Steve's birthday today?
Why is he calling?' Barry wondered.



He answered the phone and respectfully said, "Sir."

Jeremy's voice sounded a little tired and hoarse, as well as a little nervous. He said, "Barry, I'm in City
Central Hospital. You can bring a suit and my clothes here."

Hearing where he was prompted Barry to anxiously ask, "Are you sick? Where is Mrs. Ou?"

"It's not me being treated. Bring some clothes for Sherry as well and postpone the meeting tomorrow."
Jeremy's finger tapped on the poll beside the wall almost plotting the schedule for tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Barry hung up the phone, changed his clothes and rushed to the villa where
Jeremy lived.

After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked down at his bloodied body and frowned slightly.

He walked into the ward, took off his coat and sat down at Sherry's bedside. Sherry hadn't moved since
he was last in the room.

"Move in," he said softly.

Sherry moved a little. It seemed she wasn't asleep, but her body hurt so much that she couldn't move.
Jeremy leaned in and gently moved her body a little to the side of the bed.

"Aww..." Sherry gave a light cry. Jeremy became even gentler and asked politely, "Did I hurt you?"

Sherry didn't say anything, and Jeremy gave a warm smile.

Jeremy took off his shirt, and his strong scent overwhelmed Sherry, enveloping her whole body.

Sherry was a little uneasy, trying to ignore his fragrance.



The bed was big enough for Sherry but with the addition of Jeremy's massive body, it felt quite
crowded.

With a sigh, Sherry turned her back to him.

She tossed a wisp of her hair onto Jeremy's face. He reached out his slender hand and brushed it
aside. He buried his face in her fragrant long hair and smelled it as he gradually fell asleep.

Barry called Jeremy when he arrived at the hospital, but to no answer. Barry paced frantically
throughout the hospital before finally finding Sherry's ward.

Not daring to disturb them, Barry left their clothes with the nurse on duty.

Jeremy was in and out of sleep when he heard sobs coming from next to him. He suddenly opened his
eyes wide and nervously looked at Sherry.
