I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 54: Sheri Hoal

He was sitting there for how many hours. Sheri was just waiting for his next move but from how many

hours he never moved in his place. Sheri was bored looking at his face, so she started walking in the

cemetery or doing something until Devon's phone rings, and she walked beside him to listen. When

Devon saw who called. He picked up.

Sheri listens to their conversation.

"It's grandma, where are you? Janice called me that you didn't come home?" His grandma said.

"Grandma, I am infertile," Devon said.

Sheri was inexpressibly shocked.

"What do you mean infertile? You had made one before if that Hoal girl didn't push Janice maybe you

already have one now and Janice is also pregnant now. How can you say your infertile?" His grandma

asked.

"I merely found out that I'm infertile, and Janice has never been pregnant before. The one that is in her

belly now is not mine also." Devon said.

Sheri places her shaking hands in her mouth. She doesn't comprehend what to feel or do.

His grandma was silent on the other line.

"Come home now, and we will get another opinion. For Janice, we can do a DNA test there must be a

mistake, come home." His grandma firmly said.

Devon calms down and wipes his tear and calls his personal assistant they arrived at the entrance of

the cemetery and went home at his grandma's place, leaving Sheri alone in the cemetery.

Sheri was speechless. She doesn't know what to do. She covers her mouth when she recalls she only

saw blood in Janice's head and not between her legs.

She mindlessly walked thinking and pondering how and why would Janice do something like that.

After a few more days. Sheri stayed in her graveyard. At least her family changes her graveyard in a

private place overlooking a field with a beautiful landscape. Her name was scribbled in her gravestone

with a beautiful design. She appreciates the design of it. It was Sheva who made it. She loves arts.

Sheri was enjoying the scenery when she saw someone approaching her graveyard with a purple

hyacinth on his hand.

She looked and was dumbfounded.

It was Eric in his suits. He placed the flower in her grave looking solemn, and his odd expression was

unexplainable.

He caressed her gravestone. He was silent for how many hours. Sheri observed him.

"I'm sorry, I" Eric withhold his words. What would he say to her? He knows precisely, that she was heed

over heels him, but he killed her for harming someone who he naturally thinks is special. He was

deceived, and now it's too late. How to properly compensate her and her family of what he did to them.

He was undoubtedly lost on what to do.

"If there is a second life. Allow me to pay for what I have done toward you. I know you can never

forgive me and don't blame you with it." Eric gently said

He sits next to her grave while Sheri on the other side sits. Both were looking at the sitting sun.

Sheri didn't respond. What would she say? It's tiring to be consistently in fear. It's tiring to hold a

grudge. It's tiring not to forgive. She's now dead. She can't do anything. Do scream and hating help?

Sheri thinks no. She is not a saint when it comes to what they did toward her, but she will never burden

her self anymore about something that she can't control.

Both were silent until Eric leaves that place. Day and night Sheri stayed, roaming around different

towns and different areas. She's waiting for the system to get her.

During those times Eric keeps on visiting her grave every day for the past year. He always brings a

colorful flower and stays there until dark.

The only thing that Sheri was frowning is, he seems like he's starting to get thinner and thinner. His

robust body cannot be seen anymore. His handsome face starts fading away. He doesn't also bring

anything to eat. Every time he comes at her grave from morning until evening. He never eats nor

drinks. She can't ask anyway why.

In one case Sheri was waiting for Eric to appear she was customary for her to sit with him every

afternoon. Both of them don't speak barely looked at the sunset. While waiting for Eric to show up that

afternoon.

That particular afternoon was different. It was Devon who came. Wearing a white shirt and jeans. Sheri

frowns when he saw him.

"What is he doing here?" Sheri said to herself.

Devon looked at the beautiful curved name of Sheri and Sheva's beautiful engraved art. He never

speaks. He clenches his hand while looking at her grave.

At the same time, Sheri was observing him, but he was silent the whole time. She can't see any

emotional expression on his face. He left afterward. Sheri merely shrugged and waits for Eric to come.

Eric came afterward.

After sitting in the same place. Sheri was looking at him. He becomes so very thin, looking so

unhealthy.

"What's wrong with you?" Sheri asked, but he never responds because he doesn't hear her neither can

see her.

"This might be my last visit to you" He scarcely paused for a while and continues to talk.

"I will be going far. I will atone for my sin to you and desperately hope you will forgive me." Eric put the

flower on her grave and waits until it was dark and slowly walked toward his car.

Sheri looked suspiciously at his back. He looked like he's sick. She felt there's something wrong with

him. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

After how many days pass indeed Eric didn't come. Sheri was pondering over his words before.

Sheri waited but he never appears. After a few months, She walked toward the streets and went toward

her favorite spot where she is watching her noontime show. Sheri was watching when a piece of news

appears.

"Eric Cooper, the young entrepreneur who owns one of the largest businesses in the world was

declared dead in his home. His parents found him dead in his room. According to the police, there is no

foul play in his tragic death. He left a note saying " to atones once grave fault, is not enough." The

newscaster kept on speaking while Sheri places her quivering hands on her mouth. She was very

shocked.

"Why would you do that?" Sheri asked toward the picture of Eric on the Tv.

Sheri went toward his funeral after locating his address. She followed them going to the cemetery. It

was a private burial. There were so many paparazzi on the side. While his parents were bearing a

picture of him crying.

Sheri thought they would bury him in a private cemetery but no, they went toward the private place

where she was buried.

Sheri never knew that Eric bought the whole piece of land for them alone. He even planted different

kinds of lovely flowers especially a purple hyacinth.

She was dumbfounded and furrows her brows. When they are burying him.
