Maverick bravely stepped out of the car and assisted her in opening the hospital door.
Sherry expressed her gratitude once again.
“You don’t have to be so formal, Ms. Wilson; it creates distance between us.
Sherry bid him goodnight and watched as the red taillights faded from her view, finally
releasing the tension in her body
She sat in the car and attentively observed his jawline through the rearview mirror.
It looked quite similar.
But she didn’t want to jump to any conclusions.
Sherry didn’t have time to cook or bring food today, so she went downstairs to buy
some easily digestible fruits before going upstairs to meet her uncle.
As soon as she walked through the door, Sophia’s voice came from inside the ward.

man than you; don’t even think about reconciling; you’re no match for her.”
“Me and Malcolm? You guessed it, I’m with Malcolm and I’m even carrying his child.”
..I’m ungrateful? She may be from the Wilson family, but she was raised by the
Jimenez family; we, the Jimenez family, are her benefactors! Whatever she does for me
is only right!”
If you think I’m unfilial, let’s just sever our father–daughter relationship; now that my
mother has remarried, I’ll start calling someone else’s father; one father is enough for
- me.
Sherry couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully pulled the ward door open.
Sophia stood arrogantly, looking down on her uncle, while her uncle had slid off the bed
and was completely soaked in his medical gown.
She frowned at Sophia and squatted down to help her uncle back into bed.

It was only then that she noticed her uncle’s hospital gown was completely saturated
and still warm.

Sherry’s anger grew. “Sophia, what have you done to my uncle? Did you pour hot water
on him? He’s your biological father!”
“Heh, what can I do to him? He tried to attack me and fell, knocking over the water
bottle himself. It’s not my problem, is it?” Sophia said as she played with her freshly
painted nails.
When Sherry heard that, her heart sank.
The water bottle was filled with scalding hot water!
The water on her hospital gown had already cooled to room temperature, so who knew
how long it had been since the hot water was spilled on her uncle?
Sherry bit her lower lip and stared at Sophia. “Sophia, just wait; I’ll deal with you later!”
She quickly called for a doctor.

Her uncle had indeed been scalded, and the burn covered almost his entire body, which
was extremely severe.
After examining Noah, the doctor exclaimed angrily, “What kind of family are you? Your
let him suffer from burns for so long without calling a doctor. Do you have no heart? It’s
as if you want to kill him!”
Sherry’s mind was in chaos, but she listened to everything the doctor said.
She didn’t mind receiving any amount of reprimand as long as she could save her
uncle.
“Who is responsible for taking care of the patient?”
Sophia stood far away, as if nothing was happening, and pointed to Sherry, saying, “It’s
her. If something happens, blame her.”
“You scoundrel!!” Noah screamed, “How could our Jimenez family have such a
shameless daughter like you?”
Sophia laughed. “How would I know?” “Why don’t you go ask my grandpa in the
underworld?
“You…you..”
Sherry rushed forward to calm him down, saying, “Uncle, don’t get angry at her. Take
care of yourself.”
“Sherry, don’t stop me; I’m going to kill this unfaithful daughter today! The Jimenez
family no longer needs her now that my mother has remarried; I’ll just call my stepfather
dad; one father is enough for me.”
The hospital gown was stained with blood, and large patches of scarlet covered Noah’s
chest.
Sherry was worried. “Uncle, please lie down quickly, the wound is reopening!” “Doctor,
please check my uncle’s wound immediately; it’s bleeding!”
“What’s so great about your Jimenez family? You’re just a poor family. Do you think I
care? If you don’t acknowledge me, it’s even better. Once I meet your stepfather, I’ll

immediately change my last name to his.”
Noah trembled violently, his eyes filled with rage, and he couldn’t catch his breath. He
immediately collapsed onto the bed and passed out.
Sherry was terrified, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Uncle, please, doctor, save
him!”
“The patient’s blood pressure is dropping rapidly, and his heart rate is significantly.
decreasing,” the doctor said sternly, looking at the readings on the various instruments
surrounding him. “Rush him into the emergency room for treatment!”
Sherry, like last time, assisted the nurse in pushing her uncle into the emergency
department and was then locked outside.
She helplessly clutched her hair and leaned against the wall next to the emergency
room, taking deep breaths. Biting her lips turned them pale.
Less than a month had passed, and her uncle was back in the hospital. Sherry slapped
herself firmly. Why did she have to be so desperate for Mateo’s $100,000 today?
Chapter 34 Father And Daughter Are At Odds
Sophia might not have been so bold if she had arrived earlier today and stayed by her
uncle’s side!
Sophia, she clenched her fists in anger!

Sophia returned to the ward with her luxury bag, ready to leave. When she saw Sherry.
return, she softly giggled and asked, “How is he? Is he dead?”
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
Sherry slammed the door shut, turned around, and locked the room from the inside,
leaving just the two of them inside.
“Sherry, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing?” Sherry was convinced she had lost her mind. Her eyes were
bloodshot, and she coldly laughed as she rolled up her sleeves, “I’m not doing anything,
just cleaning house.”

She then picked up a nearby chair and threw it at Sophia.
“Ah!!!” Sophia shrieked, ducking, “Sherry, have you gone insane?!”

“I have gone insane; do you still want to run? I’ve locked the door; the only way out is to
jump!”
Sherry was furious, but unlike her usual demeanor, she remained calm. Sherry realized
she didn’t have the courage to jump to Sophia’s ward on the seventeenth floor.
Sophia was terrified by Sherry’s fierce expression. She had never seen Sherry look so
terrifying in all her years; even when she took Malcolm away, Sherry had never become
so violent.
“I must warn you, Sherry: I am carrying the only heir of the Ford family in my womb, and
if anything happens to me, Malcolm will not let you escape punishment!”
“Then let him come!” Sherry interrupted, her voice filled with anger. ‘Sophia, if anything
happens to my uncle, I will ensure that you pay dearly! Can Malcolm protect you
indefinitely? If not, the three of us, including the unborn child in your womb, will meet
our demise together. We will face damnation as a united front and seek justice!”
In a surge of adrenaline, she didn’t know where she found the strength, but she lifted
the entire bedside table and hurled it towards the corner where Sophia was hiding.
