Ice and Fire

Outside the shopping mall, Cherry hurried to a vacant corner. Leaning against the wall, she felt weak all over.

"Cherry, are you okay?" Stephen asked, anxiously, though he had guessed that it was Jackson who had upset her so much.

"I'm okay, " Cherry replied to Stephen, in spite of her true feeling.

"It's about Jackson, right?" Stephen asked.

Cherry realized that Stephen had figured out what she was thinking about. Since she treated Stephen as her friend, Cherry believed it was unnecessary to conceal her true feelings from him.

"That woman is actually the person he cares about most in his heart." Cherry's mind wandered back to Sally He.

Looking at Cherry, Stephen explained, "They grew up together. If that accident hadn't happened, they would have been married."

"You just referred to an accident. So what exactly happened back then?" Cherry turned her gaze to Stephen, looking forward to his answer.

But Stephen appeared to avoid this question. He averted his eyes from Cherry and said, "Cherry, it's our affair. Jackson will tell you if he want you to know."

On one hand, Stephen was a bit afraid of Jackson, since he would not forgive him if Stephen revealed details about that accident. On the other hand, he did not want Cherry to know too much about it, because it was obvious that she had fallen in love with Jackson. She might do something bad and hurt herself if she knew the truth. He wanted to avoid that possibility.
