I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 36: 6. Sheri Hoal

24 hours ago....

Sheri heard a puff sound and felt there is something wrong with her car. She drives through an area

where there is light and checks her front wheels. She saw a flat tire.

"Oh great!" Sheri sigh and massaged her forehead she walked back to her driver's seat to look for her

phone while looking, she suddenly felt a shooting pain in her head. The pain was terrible. She grips her

steering wheel to support her self and slowly gets inside and sits down. She locked her door and

thought if she rested her head the pain would go away.

For a couple of months already that she starts to suffer a headache. The previous months and nights

she wasn't able to sleep well. For almost two years since she had her second life, she had a constant

nightmare. She can't sleep, she tried to but couldn't.

She holds her steering wheel with both hands and rests her forehead in the middle. The moment she

closed her eyes she fainted. Her head swayed toward the side window, leaning against it.

Eric was on his way to his parent's house. It's a bit far from Sheri's parent's mansion. While driving, he

noticed a car parked in a desolate place but with a dim light on. He didn't stop in the first place, but

when he passed by, he saw the side face of Sheri leaning on her side window.

He stops his car immediately and gets out. For the first time in his life, he was scared. He was thinking

of many scenarios why is she in this place, if she is alright and many more. His heart starts to beat fast

when he approached her car.

When he comes close, he knocked on her window but there is no response from Sheri.

"Sheri, wake up!" Eric shouts but still no response.

He tried to open her door, but he couldn't. He keeps on knocking but still, Sheri never wakes up. He

walked back to his car and brings out his emergency tool to break Sheri's window. He went to the other

side of the window and breaks it. He opened her car seat and went to carry her.

He carefully placed her in his car.

"Wake up, Sheri, wake up," Eric said while gently patting her cheek but still Sheri didn't respond. After

trying for how many minutes, he decided to bring her to the emergency part of the hospital.

"Help," Eric said toward one of the nurses. The nurse immediately responded and guide him to a

nearby free bed.

One of the stationed doctors was free at that time, and walked towards Eric.

Eric lay Sheri on one of the free bed stretchers and followed her in one of the rooms when the nurse

pushed the bed inside one of the room for check up.

"I want a full check on her," Eric said and gives his business card to the doctor. The doctor was taken

aback when he reaches and read his name. The doctor worked directly. The doctor nodded toward the Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

nurses and did everything. A full-body scan, MRI, blood test, etc. in one hour the results wherein.

When the doctor is done checking on her. He went toward Eric and informed him.

" Mr. Cooper, the patient is just tired. Her body was exhausted and just need to take a rest. We have

given her a shot so that she can sleep better now." The doctor said.

"Hmm," Eric nodded while looking at Sheri who is sleeping. The doctors and the nurses went out of the

room leaving Eric and Sheri.

Eric looked at Sheri with an indescribable feeling. When he saw her for the first time. He has this

feeling of familiarity. The way she walks and talks makes him want to possess her and not let go. He

felt a sense of longing and wanting to be with her. He doesn't know why.

While looking at her. She looked like a sleeping beauty. He walked toward her and sits next to her. He

gently caressed her face and observed her for how many hours. The whole time he was holding her

hands.

Until he decided to contact her father informing him that Sheri is in the hospital. In half an hour her

parents barge to where she's sleeping.

Eric explains everything to them. Her mom immediately scolded her husband for making Sheri become

a workaholic. Her dad also felt guilty.

Eric smiled towards the parents of Sheri. He finds her family is normal regardless of their status in

society.

"Mr. Cooper thank you for saving my daughter." Her mom said after scolding her husband.

"It's alright Mrs. Hoal. I was just passing by," Eric said.

"Nevertheless the Hoal family is grateful." Sheri's father said.

Back to present Sheri is thinking indeed when her car broke she was supposed to call her dad, but she

felt dizzy. She rested her head on her steering wheel to relax a little.

The reason why she worked so hard these past months because she wants to forget. But her mind

doesn't want to cooperate so all she can do is work to the bones. She knows she has to take a rest, but

her mind doesn't allow her. No matter how much she tried to bury her past. It always hunts her every

time she saw them in the news or a magazine images of her past lives keeps on appearing. It was a

constant battle. She wanted to take a medication for sleeping, but she is scared that she might be

addicted to it.

Suddenly the mechanical voice speaks. "You have 30 min before the next mission. Host, please

prepare."

"Huh! Wait, is it already a year now? That was so fast and why didn't you warn me earlier." Sheri

asked.

"Sorry host but the whole data system was busy, destroying the bug. Something is corrupting our

database, and our engineer is trying their best to defend our data from being corrupted. Fortunately, the

bug was destroyed." The system explains.

Sheri was supposed to asked more but her mom arrives with foods.

After her mom had brought her food, she leaves, leaving Sheri to go back to sleep. In the black space,

the mechanical voice speaks.

"Welcome back host and good luck with your next mission."

"Wait..." Sheri wanted to ask about the bug. How on earth a big appear on the system but

Sheri felt lighted and when she wakes up.....
