Chapter 71
“Sherry, that gentleman is truly kind. You should express your gratitude to him properly.”
Sherry replied, “I will.”
After this incident, Jayden became completely despondent. He scratched his head in
frustration, saying, “Although our family doesn’t have much money, we have always
been well-regarded by others. Everyone in the village knows that. How could Sophia
have turned out like this? We shouldn’t have sent her abroad in the first place. I heard
that relationships between men and women in foreign countries are very
chaotic.
Sophia must have picked up bad habits there.”
Sherry forced a bitter smile and said, “What about Aunt Nora? She has never been
abroad, but her behavior is just as bad, isn’t it?”
“That’s because your uncle’s temper is too soft, and we have indulged her too much.”
Jayden was furious talking about it. “It’s also our fault that we aren’t capable. Our
humble home couldn’t keep her. Her desire for money has surpassed morality. I
suppose she has already achieved what she wanted.”
Sherry nodded and said, “My friend, the masked gentleman who saved you, helped me
investigate. Aunt Nora went abroad and married a man with significant influence. She
should be returning soon.”
“She has the audacity to come back? What does she think she’s coming back for?”
Jayden was instantly enraged. “Does she know that your uncle is seriously ill and
deliberately came back to show off?”
“It’s not like that,” Sherry said. “Originally, Malcolm and Sophia were planning to get
married. After all, she is Sophia’s biological mother. When her daughter is getting
married, she naturally wants to come back and meet the Ford family.”
Jayden gritted his teeth and said, “What a useless wedding! I see it clearly now.
Malcolm is simply an irresponsible and unreliable scumbag! If he can treat you like this
now, then he can do the same to Sophia in the future! A cheater can’t stop cheating.
Moreover, his attitude toward Sophia is already not very good. When I wanted to take
Sophia away while we were at the Ford family’s house, Sophia resisted desperately.
Guess what Malcolm said?”
“What did he say?”
Chapter 71 Bow
“He asked me to quickly take Sophia away; he wants to bring you back and continue
3/7
living with you. Isn’t this ridiculous? Both of you are precious; does he think he can just
choose whichever one he wants? Who does he think our family is? What’s even more
infuriating is that Sophia is pregnant with his child.”
Jayden angrily crossed his arms and continued to breathe heavily.
His loud voice attracted the attention of the nurses.
Sherry quickly made a gesture for him to be quiet, indicating that he should lower his
voice. This was a hospital, and they shouldn’t be making loud noises.
After calming down for a moment, Jayden, despite his anger, was ultimately more
concerned about his niece. He let out a deep sigh and asked, “Sherry, tell me, what do
you plan to do now?”
Sherry replied calmly, “I can’t go back to the Ford family anymore. Right now, I just want
to work hard and earn money to treat Uncle Noah.”
“Silly child, I’ll handle the financial matters: You’re a young girl; how can I let you bear
Chapter 71 Bow
such a heavy burden?”

Sherry smiled and shook her head. “Both of you raised me and took care of me as I
grew up. When our family was struggling, you guys even bought me a new dress for my
birthday. I will never forget your kindness. Now that I’ve grown up, it’s time for me to
repay you both.”
Hearing this, Jayden also smiled and said, “You really resemble your mother. On the
surface, you seem gentle and weak, but you have a strong mind. And just like your
mother, you love bows. So, every year on your birthday, your uncle and I buy you
dresses with bows. You never want to take them off.”
“Yes, I really loved bows when I was little. I thought they were so beautiful.”
“Exactly; you even wanted hair ties with bows. But as you grew older, you became more
sensible and said that your uncle and I were working too hard, so you didn’t want bows
anymore. You started using cheap black hair ties. It’s such a pity for your beautiful hair.”
Sherry seemed to suddenly remember something, but when she tried to recall it, she
couldn’t. It was just a blurred version that she could barely recall.

“Sherry, can you listen to me for a moment?”
“Yes, Uncle Jayden, go ahead.”

“You should sign up for a SAT test. Your grades were so good back then; it’s such a pity
that you gave up the admission letter from Pimlico University for Sophia’s sake. I’m still
young, so I can earn money. You should focus on studying. You will definitely have a
bright future.”
Sherry hesitated for a moment, thinking about the child in her belly, but ultimately
decided not to say anything for now. She simply replied, “Uncle Jayden, let me think
about it.”
“Sure, take your time to consider. As for Sophia, I don’t think you need to worry about
her anymore. Her biological mother has returned, and she has a wealthy stepfather
now. Sophia has made up her mind to distance herself from us.”
If she had considered helping Sophia and her child by donating blood before, now she
has no intention of having any contact with them since Malcolm reported her uncle to
the police.
Everyone has their own fate, and as an older sister, she had done her best.

Noah’s condition had improved slightly. He could now eat some food, but speaking was
still difficult for him. He just watched Sherry, and tears streamed down his face.
Sherry wiped away his tears with a tissue and gently said, “Uncle Noah, I have made a
decision for you. We won’t have any contact with Sophia from now on. Will you blame
me?”
Noah’s tears flowed even more fiercely, but he struggled to shake his head, his gaze full
of love, as if telling her that it didn’t matter; he didn’t mind.
Sherry said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Noah. I can earn money now. When you get better, I will
take
you on a trip. Didn’t you say you wanted to see the sea? Get well soon, and we’ll go
together.”
Noah was wrapped in bandages all over his body, making any movement difficult, but
Sherry could see that he was smiling.
Everything was fine as long as he was happy. Life was about facing challenges in a
Chapter 71 Bow
positive manner. Constant challenges arise one after another, and individuals must
tackle them one by one. Once they overcame them, they smiled and prepared
themselves for the next one. The most arduous period had already passed, and what
lay ahead for them would be a stable and beautiful life.
Upon exiting the hospital, Camila awaited them in the garage, holding her phone and
laughing uncontrollably.

Sherry opened the passenger door and settled into the seat. Camila finally responded,
“Sherry, you’re back! Why didn’t you stay with your uncle a bit longer?”
“The visiting hours are restricted, so I left after delivering the meal. Camila, are you
hungry? Today, I’ll take you out for a meal.”
Camila pocketed her phone and grinned, “No need for you to treat me; someone else is
treating me.”
