Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 269

Athana Hospital’s cafeteria

The three women at the table were chatting. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles Sherri was the happiest that day.

Rose ate a mouthful of her rice and asked Sherri, who sat opposite her, “I want to interview the future bride. Do you have any thoughts on your upcoming marriage?”

Shern cleared her throat and said, “Ahem, first of all, I’d like to thank my parents for giving birth and raising me Thank you to my best friends. Thank you…

Natalie almost spat out her rice when she heard that. She quickly reached out to stop herself from puking. “My dear, there’s no need to be so official. You arent walking the red carpet. Just do it subtly. Save the gratitude speech for the day of your wedding. Don’t waste your energy.”

Sherri moved her butt and sat up straight “Alright, I’ll keep that away first. I’m dissatisfied that Hackett didn’t propose to me. I want a ceremonial proposal. Is that so difficult to achieve?”

Rose comforted Sherri, ‘It’s alright. It’s our first time being human and our first time getting married. Shall we give him a hint on your behalf?”

Natalie muttered, “No, this is my second marriage. It was you who didn’t notice.”

As they were talking, a commotion started in the cafeteria. Several men in black suits with violins and saxophones in their hands came from the cafeteria’s entrance and approached Sherri’s table.

Sherri, who had always been gossipy, said excitedly to Natalie beside her. “Could it be that someone is proposing in the cafeteria? This is so

romantic.”

Natalie felt that something was wrong. She turned to look at her gossipy best friend and said subtly, “Sherri, could this be arranged by Hackett?”

The performance was attention-seeking. Natalie had never heard of any nurses or doctors in the hospital dating high-profile children of the nouveau riche other than Sherri. Could it be that she was ignorant?

However, this display was in line with something Hackett would do.

Sherri brushed it off without hesitation and said, “You’re overthinking it. I haven’t sent him a message yet.”

Rose looked at the scene and fell into deep thought. The public display looked vaguely similar. The difference was that the man back then did not like her. However, there were many involved in the proposal in both circumstances. “I was humiliated while another lady was witnessing her bliss,” Rose thought.

The next moment, a familiar figure walked out of the door suavely. His hair was combed neatly. He was wearing a white suit and a light pink shirt. He held a large bouquet of fiery red roses and strode towards Sherrl.

He walked with an arrogant posture.

This was undoubtedly the protagonist of the day. He was just short of having a sparkly halo over his head.

As soon as the protagonist appeared, a ballad was blasted in the cafeteria. It was a symphony of saxophones and violins. It was pleasant to the ears and lifted the mood of everyone present

When Sherri saw Hackett, the tableware in her mouth fell onto the table with a plop. She was dumbfounded as she watched her handsome Prince Charming walk towards her.

Natalie couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. She was right. It was Hackett’s proposal, she had guessed it correctly. She nudged Sherri’s arm and said, “Come back to your senses. What are you thinking about? What are you doing? He’s already standing in front of you”
