“Don’t worry, Jenna’s surgery will go smoothly.’ “Okay.”
Sherilyn’s voice wavered as she hung up the phone. With Galen’s reassurance, Malvina’s opinion no longer held any weight. If she decided to create a scene, it would merely be an irritation. A little patience, and it would pass.
Malvina stormed into the hospital, her anger simmering all day, unable to swallow her pride.
“Yuna, give me Sherilyn’s address.”
“What for?”
“Just do it, alright? Enough with the questions!”
After extracting the address from Yuna, Malvina dashed to Sunset Ridge Community. When the doorbell rang, Sherilyn was busy decorating a cake. Sophia ran to answer it, mumbling to herself, “Mr. Johnson must have brought Jenna back, right?” But when she opened the door, she was taken aback.
“Ma’am, can I help you with…”
“Move aside!”
Malvina pushed past her, yelling, “Sherilyn! Get out here!”
Before her voice could fade, Sherilyn appeared from the kitchen, sleeves rolled up. She wasn’t surprised, only slightly furrowing her brows, “Is there something you need?” “Need?”
Malvina glared, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips, “You know exactly why I’m here.”
“I do.”
Sherilyn nodded slightly, “If you’re here about the surgery, there’s nothing I need to discuss with you.”
“Nothing to discuss?”
Malvina’s eyes widened in shock, “Are you saying you’ve latched onto Galen for good?”
Sherilyn took a deep breath, keeping her voice steady, “The decision to donate marrow is Galen’s. If he didn’t want to, I couldn’t make him.”
“Ha!”
Malvina let out a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with anger, “Sherilyn! Do you have the nerve to say that? Have you forgotten how I pleaded with you when Galen needed help? And how you treated him then?
Sherilyn remained silent, saying nothing.
“Cat got your tongue?”
Malvina’s eyes were ice-cold, “Feeling guilty? Then drop the idea of Galen donating his marrow!”
Sherilyn’s gaze remained lowered, silent.
“Speak up!”
Malvina, knowing her words alone were shaky, demanded, “Call the hospital now and cancel the surgery!”
She looked Sherilyn over, “Where’s your phone? Get it out and call right now!”
Sherilyn stood firm, her brows knitted together, “Malvina, stop it! I won’t agree to this!”
“What did you say?”
Malvina was momentarily stunned, her eyes turning fierce, “You won’t agree? You actually dare refuse?” “Yes.”
Sherilyn nodded, “No matter what
you do
The
enet
it won’t change anything. rgery is set and won’t be`
canceled.”
Malvina stood there, as if someone hit her from behind.
After a moment’s pause, she suddenly went wild, lunging at Sherilyn, “How thick-skinned are you really?”
As she spoke, she grabbed
Sherilyn’s face with both hands,
pulling at it furiously, “I’ll tear it off to see just how thick it is! Thicker than
a city wall? My son doesn’t deserve to be ruined by you!”
“Sophia…”
Sophia, fearful and confused, tried to intervene, “Ma’am, please let go…”
“Sophia!” Sherilyn commanded, “Stay out of this!”
The apartment door was open, not shut in time, and footsteps could be heard approaching from outside.
