Chapter 1633
John cast a glance at Caprice who was now sleeping soundly and stated firmly, “I’m not hungry.”
“You have to eat something even if you’re not hungry. You’re the only one Caprice has left, you can’t be irresponsible and risk your health.”
John objected with a frown. “She still has her Mom.”
As long as Sherry’s body was not found, there was still a sliver of hope that she was still alive!
There was plenty of evidence of her having an iron will for survival. She had survived Shannon’s attempt on her life three years ago. Who was to say that she did not manage to slip away from the burning house. just in time?
Madam Stockton felt a sharp sting in her nose and nearly teared up. She held herself back and tried to persuade John again. “If she’s still alive, then all the more reason for you to eat! You have to recover your strength to continue searching for her.”
John yielded a little. “Leave it there, I’ll eat in a bit.”
He had no appetite yet.
“Alright, I understand.” Madam Stockton was glad that at least John promised to eat, so she turned to Emerence.
Emerence proceeded to put the food on the dining table and covered it.
They sat silently in the living room.
At one point, John’s phone rang again.
He quickly answered the call, “What is it? Any update?”
The head bodyguard informed, “We searched the perimeter of the house and couldn’t find any signs of Mrs. Sherry. We’ll expand the ring and continue looking.”
John was relieved to hear this, even the tension on his brows eased a little. “Alright, continue giving me an update every ten minutes.”
“Alright.”
With that, he put away his phone.
He rose from the couch with Caprice and went to the dining table.
He continued balancing Caprice with one arm while he picked up a spoon with his free hand and forced himself to eat something.
Emerence stood watchfully nearby and flashed a faint, comforting smile toward Madam Stockton.
Madam Stockton had happy tears in the corner of her eye and was smiling as well.
She felt safe and comfortable.
Creak.
The door leading into the ward was gently pushed open.
Sherry turned to see who had entered.
Carl walked into the room, suave as always. He was wearing a Persian blue shirt with a pair of sunglasses propped over his head.
He met Sherry’s eyes and smiled warmly, even cocking his eyebrows playfully.
“Sherry, it’s been a while, did you miss me?” He drew closer to Sherry and revealed a box of food that he bought for her.
Sherry answered blankly, “What are you talking about? It’s only been an hour.”
Carl clicked his tongue and jested. “Oh, come on. Lighten up, will you?”
He set the box of food on a side table and gestured. “Eat while it’s hot, I had to wait in line for half an hour to buy this for you.”
