I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 72: 1. Sheri Hoal

"Please prepare to go back to your world," the mechanical voice said.

Suddenly she felt light and when Sheri wakes up.

She looked keenly at her surroundings. She saw she's back in the hospital. For a long time, she felt

this was her longest rest. A nurse came and bought a variety of breakfast. She was awed to see a

luxurious and hearty breakfast. She leans comfortably on the board of the bed and begins eating

heartily.

While, enjoying her delicious tea her mom came together with Devon. Sheri almost chokes and almost

spills her tea.

She looked at him intently. She intuitively felt something toward him but what. She can't recall anything.

She's pondering.

Her mom advanced toward her bed and grabs her hand.

"How are you baby? Her mom asked.

"I'm fine mom. I'm feeling considerably better," Sheri responded and look at Devon whose expression

she can't explain.

Her mom saw her daughter's gaze she immediately knew what she's thinking.

"His grandma was also here. He saw your Dad and me yesterday coming out of your room. He even

bought you your breakfast," her mom smiles while explaining.

Sheri froze when she heard those words from her mom.

"Oh." Sheri thought to throw the food she's eating. Luckily someone knocked at the door and Devon

looked at the door. Sheri tried her best to swallow what she's eating.

"Come in," Devon commanded.

Five people came with so many bouquets of flowers and a basket of chocolates and fruits.

"What is this? I am not yet dead." Sheri's mouth twitches while thinking.

Her mom was also surprised while Devon's eyebrows knitted together.

The nurses put down the flowers and the dainty baskets and left.

Her mom turned and picked the card that is hanging in one of the flowers.

"Oh, it's from Mr. Copper." Her mom said.

Sheri wanted to shout "can someone kill me now. Why? What did I do to deserve this." Sheri thought

while lamenting her life. Since her rebirth, she doesn't want anything to do with them and yet it seems

fate has been intertwining them.

For these past months, she has been painstakingly avoiding and running away from them. Again she

wanted to get up from her bed and run as far as she could. Go abroad or something and never come

back. But how can you run from people who literally like owned the world? They have many

connections even perhaps if she will run to the North Pole they will chase after her. These men are

unstable. Sheri thought.

"Why? Can someone answer me?" Sheri thought to her self.

Her mom came and handed the card to Sheri. She opened it and read.

"How about a dinner with me as you get better. I hope you will not decline my offer. I'll wait for you. See

you soon."

Love,

Eric Copper.

Sheri is twitching her lips while reading the card.

While thinking deep.

Devon's fist were clenching exposing his veins in his hands.

His lips become straight lines. He doesn't like Sheri has many suitors.

Sheri looked at her mom who's fixing the flowers and looked at Devon whose quiet. She can sense a

murderous intent.

Sheri wanted to drive Devon out of her room. She looked at him and asked.

"So Mr. Goori how can we help you?" Sheri courageously looked at him in spite of her brain is torturing

her from all the images that pass through. The only thing she remembers is the time she was

accidentally been placed in the first world she has after her death. The memory of him crying and being

fragile were all playing in her head. The rest were all blurred.

Devon looked at her and smile gently. Sheri froze and stop from wanting to remember what happened.

"Did I just see that? Sheri asked her self.

"How are you feeling?" Devon asked.

"I'm alright Mr. Devon," Sheri said at the same time she's thinking the other way around.

"Shoo go away." Sheri thought to her self.

The door suddenly opens, and the old woman who she helped before came.

She is in a wheelchair and being pushed by her assistant.

Devon turned around and saw his grandma.

"Grandma, why did you get up from your bed?" Devon worriedly asked. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Hush, I'm good it's just a minor pain in my waist." his grandma said.

His grandma looked at Sheri sitting in her bed.

"Oh sweety, how are you? When my grandson said you were here. I was a little worried." his grandma

said.

Sheri doesn't know how to feel at that moment. She tried to answer the old woman with

"I'm ok ma'am I'm just overworked," Sheri said politely.

His grandma looked at Sheri's mom who just came out of the bathroom holding a vase.

"Ah, you must be the mother of this wonderful young lady." his grandma said.

Her mom stiffened when she saw who came and visit her daughter.

It's the well-known iron lady of the Goori company. Her history is one of a kind that people don't want to

make a mess with.

She immediately put down the vase next to a table of Sheri and reach her hand toward her.

"Yes ma'am I'm Sheri's mother," her mom politely said.

His grandma reaches the hand of the mother of Sheri and holds it tight.

"You have a wonderful daughter. You did well in raising her. How about let's sit together with your

husband and talk about engaging your daughter to my grandson here. He doesn't have any girlfriend

yet. Your daughter is a good match for my grandson. I bet Sheri would not turn down this old ladies'

wish. His grandma looked smilingly toward Sheri and her mom.

Her mom and Sheri were frozen on the spot. Both of them are tongue-tied they were in a dilemma that

they don't want to offend this family. They can make one's life heaven or hell.

Devon didn't object toward his grandma's words.

"Thoughtful of you madam. As a mother, I would like my daughter to choose for herself." Her mom

bravely said.

Sheri suddenly breathes. She felt like she stops breathing.

The old lady smiled when she hears what her mom said.

"That's wonderful then. Gabriel notifies Raven and William we will have a family meeting." the old

woman said while commanding her assistant.

Sheri again froze.

"System let me do another mission. I can't take anymore this bull****." called on Sheri. She's waiting

but no one speaks.

Her mom on the other side. Froze. Her mind starts running while looking at the iron lady in front of her.

"Maybe we should talk when Sheri is good enough what do you think ma'am? I think Sheri is tired of

now. " Her mother anxiously said toward the elder lady.

The elder lady smile. " Alright, we need to set up as soon as possible for the meeting and you my, dear.

Take good care of yourself. I'll see you tomorrow. Devon, I expect you to take good care of your future

wife." the elder woman firmly said toward her grandson.

Her grandson beam from ear to ear. "Yes, ma'am," Devon said.

When the old lady and Devon went out.

Sheri looked at her mom.

"Mom," Sheri said.

Her mom looked at her and anxiously clasped her hand and firmly hold.

"Don't worry, your Dad and I, would do everything to not this thing go through without your permission.

Do not think about it. Take a good rest for now. " Her mom embraces her, before she left the room, she

makes sure Sheri is sleeping.
