Endless Adoration

Elliot frowned. When Sherri agreed to his request, he strode forward without hesitation. Seeing her clench her fists, he grabbed her wrists with both hands. "Do you even want these hands anymore?"

His face was so cold that it would make people feel guilty at any moment, but Sherri wasn't in the mood. She weakly leaned against his arms as tears ran down her cheeks. She looked like a corpse.

"Kate! Call Theo Gu!"

he yelled out. Kate had never seen her boss so serious over a woman. She was downstairs as she rushed over to the telephone. However, before she could get through, a shadow hovered over her. The door of the house slammed open as Elliot screamed, "There's no need to call!"

Soon, Kate could hear him start the engine and speed away.

At that moment, Sherri was struggling beside him. Her eyes were dull and lifeless as if someone had sucked the soul out of her body. Tears were running down her face as she trembled. Elliot could feel his heart sinking at the sight. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a terrible sense of rage for all the things that they had put her through.

After a while, they finally arrived at the hospital. They quickly walked into Theo Gu's office. Hearing that someone was nearing his table, Theo's eyes turned cold. His lips curled. "Why are you here?"

Elliot carried Sherri onto the sofa. "Look at her."

Although his voice was cold and emotionless, Theo could hear the sadness webbed around his voice.

Theo frowned again. Then he slowly stepped forward. Upon seeing her face, his eyes widened. "Is she...?"

All of a sudden, Elliot stared at him with narrowed eyes, as if daring the man in front of him to say something. Theo shrugged. "I just saw her at dinner a few days ago. She seemed to be acquainted with Zion An."

As checking her, Theo continued, "I didn't expect that the son of the HT Group could bully a woman so much."

He said those words as if Sherri couldn't hear him.

Elliot's eyes darkened. "What's wrong with her?"
