The sudden hug surprised Sylvia and left her frozen.

The man’s warm breath caressed the back of her neck and his deep and rich voice entered her ears. “What were you doing outside just now?"

Sylvia's eyes flickered nervously. She said, “N-nothing. I can’t sleep, so I went out to get some air.” "Can't sleep?”

“Mm-hmm...” Sylvia confidently hummed a reply.

At the next moment, she was pulled into the man’s arms. His staggering huge figure got on top of her and he lifted her chin softly. He pressed his lips against hers.

Sylvia was silenced. She tried to push him away, but he deftly pulled her hands to the side and pinned her down

He kissed her for a while before he released her lips, but his body remained on top of her. His deep eyes were like a wolf searching for its prey in the dark. He grinned and said in his deep voice, “I can't sleep either. Why don't we do a little exercise?”

Sylvia's face blushed. She knew exactly what “exercise’ meant.

She sighed exasperatedly and said, “I couldn't sleep just now, but I'm starting to feel sleepy... Mmmhh!”

He silenced her with a kiss before she could finish.

Back at Coastrock City's seaside hospital, Sherry sat by the window with her phone, scrolling through social media with a blank state of mind. She had been sleeping since the day, so even though it was already late at night, she was still wide awake.

Ding!

Suddenly, she received a text on her phone.

It was from Sylvia.

She tapped on it and saw an entire paragraph typed out by her friend, and when she went through it, her expression changed multiple times

Madam Stockton had woken up? She even played along with Queenie to expose Julie?

Julie was the mastermind behind everything, and she had done it because she was secretly in love with John.

Every word in the text was a shocking revelation to her. She knew that Julie was not as kind and gentle as she appeared, but her being secretly in love with John was something out of her expectation.

Julie even plotted the entire scheme to remove her from John's side.

Sherry’s chest heaved strongly. She was at a loss for words after learning the truth.

Just a moment ago, her mind was still troubled by the fact that Madam Stockton was bedridden and the fire that almost took her life. Now, she learned that Madam Stockton had recovered and Julie was the one who had tried to kill her with the fire.

She also learned that it was not a coincidence that she ran into Mason in the park the other day, and there was also the untimely manner of John coming back to catch them in the act. Julie was also responsible for inserting the idea of bringing Caprice away from Glenchester.

Even if she was an idiot, she could tell what Julie was trying to achieve.

Madam Stockton found out that Julie secretly loved John and wanted to change her mind, hence Julie plotted the entire scheme to not only remove Madam Stockton but also Sherry as well.

It was a vicious but effective plan.

Sherry took a deep breath, but she was still trying to wrap her head around the situation. The revelation of the truth was too sudden, so sudden that it felt surreal.

She pinched her waist and it felt painful. She was not dreaming.

She continued reading and saw another text from Sylvia.

A while later, she smiled and scoffed.

It was great that Madam Stockton had recovered, but it was impossible for her to go back to John now.

Even if it was all Julies plan, it did not deny John's distrust in her, and she could not forget the year- long imprisonment.

If Carl did not save her in time, she might already be dead because of Julie's plan and John's distrust.

The things that he did to her nine years ago continued to traumatize her, and it had become an obstacle that she could not overcome.
