Endless Adoration

Chapter 4 The Family Photo

Sean Shen completed the tasks speedily. When Sherri Leng went back once again to the hospital,

Alina Leng had already been transferred to a senior ward.

"Sherri!"

Alina hadn't seen her sister for a few days now and was very happy to see her. But when she saw her

sister being followed by a handsome brother who made her feel very scared, she frowned and looked

at the man warily. She looked at Sherri and asked: "Sherri, is he also here to bully you?"

"I won't let them bully you anymore!"

Alina clenched her fists and looked towards Elliott warily. Seeing her sister's expression, Sherri felt

warmth in her heart. She walked up to her and held her in her arms. "No, Alina. He didn't bully me. He

is my friend. He's here to see you."

Although Alina is only thirteen years old, but she's sensible and smart. Hearing her sister's words, she

let down her guard. But looking at the expression of Elliott, she was still a little afraid of him, just by

looking at him made her feel the coldness inside him.

"But Sherri, he doesn't seem like to talk."

Alina got into her arms and whispered in her ear. Sherri doubted, and she quickly explained in a low

voice: "Don't be afraid. He's not a bad guy. He helped us with the ward as well."

Hearing her sister's words, Alina was still scared, but she mustered up her courage to smile and said to

Elliott, "Than...thank you for helping my sister."

Elliott's eyes came to a slight halt, with his face looking unnatural, but he still said coldly, "No trouble."

After staying with Alina for a while, Sherri suddenly remembered that she still had a few part-time works

to do. Alina also knew that her sister had to leave at this time for work recently, she said goodbye

obediently and Sherri walked out with Elliott.

"Well... You can go back first. I still have works to do... "

Although it's not a decent job, but Sherri could only say that to Elliott for now.

However, Elliott naturally held his wrist and said lightly, "I have quitted all those jobs for you. You need NôvelDrama.Org content.

to take good care of yourself for now and then work in my company after you fully recovers. I will pay

you in advance. At that time, I will deduct those from your bonus when you start working."

At first, when Sherri heard that he have already quitted all her jobs, she was a little angry, but after

hearing what he just said, she suddenly felt warmth in her heart.

"Than... Thank you... "

Said Sherri unnaturally.

Without saying a word, Elliott pulled her into the car again. As soon as they sat down, he suddenly bent

over. The faint smell of cologne mixed with the fragrance of the air blew over to her, Sherri flushed with

excitement, she felt her heartbeat and then leaned back. Her eyes were in panic. Elliott suddenly

chuckled and said lightly, "seat belt."

He carefully fastened the seat belt and sat on the driver's seat. While Sherri's face had already turned

red because of his sneer just now. She didn't know where to look, and her heart was beating so fast as

if it was about to jump out.

"I'll arrange for Sean to take care of your sister. Now, I'll take you to dinner."

Elliott caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eyes. Her hair, which was casually tied behind her

head, was a little messy, but it gave her a bit of laziness. Her cute ears looked tiny, and at that moment,

they were covered in light pink, which unexpectedly made him want to laugh within his heart.

Hearing Elliott's saying, Sherri nodded at random, but she said, "umm... I'm not hungry... "

Elliott turned his head around, squinted at her and then looked at the road ahead. He said lightly, "since

you are not hungry, why did you pass out of hunger earlier?"

A flush quickly appeared on Sherri's face again.

The air in the car seemed pretty dull. Within this small space, Sherri felt very embarrassed and

awkward to sit still. In such a short time, she felt shameful in that every moment and yet it was in front

of such a man.

Sherri bit her lower lip unconsciously. At this time, her phone suddenly rang. She came back to her

senses and was about to take the call, but it was taken away by Elliott first. He said lightly, "your hand

is injured. Answer it in this way."

He placed the phone in front of her. When Sherri saw the number, she frowned and nodded after a few

seconds.

Sherri picked it up, and then turned on the speaker.

"Sherri, when will you take your things away?"

A sarcastic voice came from the other end of the phone. Elliott's eyes darkened and he frowned

slightly.

"Let me tell you, if you don't take away the things of you and your ill sister's, I will throw all of them

away!"

Receiving no response from Sherri, Melissa said it again.

Sherri frowned, she seemed to be trying her best to tolerate her anger. After a long time, she said

lightly, "I'll come and get it."

"I'll only give you half an hour. If you don't come before that, the stuff will be taken away as rubbish."

Melissa sneered and sarcastically stated on the other end of the phone. Then she hung up leaving no

time for Sherri to answer.

With her face down, Sherri gritted her teeth to hold back the tears that were about to gush out. Then

she raised her head, with her eyes so clear as if nothing had happened, "I'm sorry about that, I would

like to return home for a moment please."

With a face of coldness, Elliott turned the car around and said indifferently, "I'll take you there."

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Leng's mansion. When Sherri got off the car, her eyes were wide

open.

At the gate of the mansion, her and her sister's belongings were scattered all over the ground, and the

family photo of them and her parents was also there. The glass frame have already been broken, and

the photo was lustered under the sun. Sherri only felt the sense of ice-cold all over her body.

She slowly walked over and squatted down. In silence, she picked up the photo and held it tightly in her

arms. She raised her head and looked at this house that she used to be familiar with. A fierce and firm

light flashed through her eyes. Then she turned around decisively. "Let's go."

Those luxurious clothes are just like a pile of rags to her now. She will by all means to take back

everything that belonged to them and take back her father's painstaking efforts. She will not let today's

humiliation to become her nightmare. She's Sherri Leng, and she won't be knocked down, nor would

she admit defeat.

Following her quietly, Elliott turned around and looked towards the silently closed gate. A sharp and

gloomy light flashed though his eyes, as if it had never happened.

He took a quick step forward, grabbed Sherri's wrist and exerted a little strength. Sherri stopped,

looked up at him with a sudden cold smile and said lightly, "I won't be easily knocked down."

There was no tears nor any emotion on Elliott's face. Only those words that were lightly being said by

her, those words that made him heartache.
