Lee couldn't help hesitating for a moment. He felt it was really inappropriate for him t o relay Sherman's words to Kingsley, because it would sound like he was confessing his love for Kingsley. This was rather awkward.
However, urged by Sherman, he had to call Kingsley.
After making up his mind, Lee dialed the phone. Kingsley answered the call, but he immediately hung up after saying, "Don't call me again if there is nothing necessary."
Sherman flew into a rage and ordered in an annoyed tone, "Call him again!"
Lee was so scared that he almost threw his mobile phone on the ground. Pulling a long face, he dialed the phone again. This time, Sherman directly grabbed the phone from him and said pitifully, "Kingsley."
However, as soon as she called out his name, Kingsley hung up again. It turned out that he was unwilling to hear another word from her.
Sherman called him again and said affectionately, "I really miss Cody. I haven’t seen him for a whole day."
"He has fallen asleep..." Kingsley finally answered her in a frosty tone. Then he hung up again.
Sherman was rendered speechless. It seemed that she really pissed him off this time. She never knew it was so hard to please Kingsley when he was angry!
Then she came up with a new idea. At lunchtime, she buried her head under the pillow and said she wasn't hungry. And when it was time for dinner, she still said she didn't feel like eating.
Seeing her like this, the nurse became quite anxious. But Sherman just refused to eat, insisting that she wasn't hungry at all.
Besides lunch and dinner, she also skipped the midnight snack. She really sacrificed a lot to arouse Kingsley's sympathy towards her.
However, her little trick didn't seem to work out. By nine o’clock in the evening, Kingsley still didn’t come to visit her. Sherman couldn't help but be more disappointed.
Feeling a little bit sleepy, she didn't have any remaining strength to support herself u p. When she was going to have a rest, the door of the ward was opened with a creaking sound.
