The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2837

"Huh, you sound like you're doing much better."

Sherman's exhaustion disappeared completely as soon as he heard Rita's voice. He leaned back into his office chair. Even though he knew Rita would be safe with her father, Sherman had been on edge until he heard her voice.

At that moment, his heart felt much lighter.

"Yeah, I'm much better now but still a bit weak. The doctor wants me to stay in the hospital for a few more days. I'll be moving back home after I get discharged," Rita reported casually as if chatting with an old friend.

Sherman's eyes suddenly snapped wide open. "Back home? To that home? Are you going to live with Karen and Sadie?" he asked.

As soon as Rita heard his reaction, she knew that the events of that day were likely connected to that mother-daughter duo.

"So, this incident had something to do with Karen?" asked Rita.

Sherman became puzzled. "Didn't your father tell you about it? I told him everything and reminded him to tell you when you wake up."

"Huh." Rita was not surprised. "He's probably afraid that I'll kick up a fuss at home if I found out."

Subconsciously, he could not bear to see her do this alone, but what could he do? It was not like he was her boyfriend or husband.

"Take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your own well-being." Sherman sighed as well. He knew how stubborn Rita could be. No matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would not work. All he could do was remind her to prioritize her safety.

Rita chuckled softly. "I'll treat you to a meal after I'm discharged from the hospital, as a thank you."

"What? Do you not know how quickly I rushed to the hotel to rescue you? And you want to thank me with just one meal?" teased Sherman.
