"I need to know, even if I can''t ept the answer!"


    The doctor, who was growing irked, beside them kept urging, "Sir, please give her an answer. Otherwise, we wouldn''t be able to treat her wound. The bleeding hasn''t stopped yet. We can''t joke around with a person''s life like this."


    Sherman looked at ire, tears welling up in her eyes, and finally nodded.


    "I know you have your reasons for all the choices you''ve made. It''s been so long, and I''ve forgiven you a long time ago."


    However, ire did not feel relieved at his answer. Instead, her heart broke even more. She would rather he got angry at her. At least then it would mean he still had not let her go.


    Realization dawned on ire that Sherman had moved on from their rtionship. Her heart grew colder, and she stopped struggling. Seizing the opportunity, the doctor and nurse pushed her into the room for further treatment.


    Outside the room, Sherman sat alone on a chair, looking at the blood on his hands. He sighed heavily.


    ''She wouldn''t have gone to New Capital Times to kick up a fuss if I had made it clear to her earlier,'' he thought with a frown.


    He wondered how efficient Rita''s superior was at handling public opinion. He just hoped it would not affect Rita''s work. It would be best if none of her colleagues brought up the matter again.


    With these thoughts in mind, he nned to visit herpany after ire''s wound was stitched up.


    However, Rita arrived less than 15 minutester, to Sherman''s surprise. She hurriedly walked up to him, lookingpletely unlike her usualposed self.


    After exchanging a nce, Rita managed to calm her breathing before asking, "How long has Miss ire been in there? Did the doctor say how much longer the stitching will take?"


    Sherman shook his head. "You came quickly. She just went in about ten minutes ago."


    "Oh. Do you think mying here is unnecessary and will just make things worse for you?" Rita stood there at a distance, not daring to approach. She was afraid that she got any closer, he would beThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    disgusted and want to walk away.


    Sherman frowned. "But you''re the cause of all this."


    "Ah! You''ve misunderstood. I''m not trying to shirk responsibility. I''m just worried that Miss ire would be angry when she wakes up, which wouldn''t be good for her recovery. But was so worried about her, so I decided toe. Plus, I have some other questions I want to ask you..."


    Rita hung her head. She had been harassed by ire, and her clothes were disheveled from rushing over from the office. She looked quite miserable.


    "Go ahead and ask."


    Sherman encouraged her to speak, but Rita did not know how to articte her thoughts. She felt like she must be the most shameless person in the world.


    After everything her family had done to Sherman, she still dared to ask him if he liked her. Only someone with an immense amount of narcissism could ask such a question.


    However, her heart kept pounding, and she wanted to hear the answer from Sherman''s mouth. That way, she would be able to let him go if he did not have the slightest bit of affection for her.


    In the end, Rita chose to ask another question.


    "Do... Do you like Miss ire?"


    "I''ve already said it, our rtionship is in the past. Did you not hear what I just said?"
