I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 55

Devon also came at the funeral of Eric.

He was standing there the whole time looking at the whole process. He waited until everyone leave. In his mind. They were not the best buddy. They are just a business partner. When everyone left. He looked at the grave of Eric and speaks.

"You're coward. You don't deserve to be buried next to her. Our lives are not enough for what we did toward her." Devon said. Devon was indeed not a saint when it comes to torturing people, but he will always make sure that is justifiable. The moment he knows of the unfaithfulness of Janice toward him and her lies. He felt remorse about what he did toward Sheri.

Every night his conscience is eating him up. He felt he deserves that he can't have any offspring, he deserves the betrayal of Janice and finding out that the one in her belly is not his. He deserves that he gets a nightmare every night.

He clenches his hand. Remembering what Janice did.

After that day that Sheri died in the dungeon and went home at night. The day after, he and Janice went to the hospital for a complete check-up. After getting a sperm example, blood, everything. They saw that he doesn't have any sperm meaning his infertile. When the doctor said that. He stands up and was angry.

"How can you say I'm infertile? Are you sure? Look at my wife she's pregnant. Devon said while seizing the collar coat of the doctor in front of him.

The doctor bravely looked at him.

"Mr. Devon, I am positively sure, that the result of our test is accurate and true but maybe there is indeed a miracle." The doctor said.

"I want 20 doctors, take another example to let them see if you are wrong." Devon angrily commanded while releasing the doctor.

The man sighs and did what Devon asked. While on the other hand, Janice was agitated the whole time.

"Devon, I think we better go home and later come back to see the result." Janice gently said.

"No, it has to be done now, to prove to this quack doctor that he is mistaken. Don't worry babe we will be done for an hour." Devon said while caressing her face and hold her hands. Devon frowns when he felt her hand is cold.

"Are you cold? You're looking pale. If you're not feeling good. I will ask someone to take you home you need to rest and don't worry about this, everything will be alright."Devon said.

Janice turned pale, and her heart starts to beat very fast. She keeps silent the whole time. And when 20 doctors came and re-examine everything. The result was Devon was indeed infertile.

He was shocked that he falls to his seat.

"There must be a terrible mistake," Janice said toward the doctors.

"No maám the used test is accurate and the peculiar condition of sir Devon has been going for how many years. Only now that it appears symptoms because it is in the late-stage."The doctor said.

"What did you say?" Devon asked.

Janice was petrified.

"Your adverse condition has been ongoing for how many years. Only this time around that your condition is gotten worst, and we advise you do and follow our treatment." The doctor said.

Devon was frozen and still. He was paralyzed of what he heard and doesn't know what to do . He looked at Janice.

After a few seconds. He storms out of the doctor's office and left Janice. Janice chased him and that's the time Sheri saw them out of the hospital.

The terrible moment he realizes about that perhaps the unborn child of Janice is not his.

He was devastated and hurt. He went to his grandma, and his grandma has already asked someone to do the DNA for the fetus and the result shook the whole Goori family. The one that Janice is carrying is not his. He also calculated the duration that the doctor said of him being infertile. He asked Janice about the truth whether she was indeed had a miscarriage.

Janice was crying the whole time. Devon was so frustrated he went away and investigates the hospital instead. He found out that Janice paid someone there to look like, that she had a miscarriage. He was wrecked when he was reading all the reports from the hospital. Why would Janice do such a thing? That thought keeps on playing over and over in his mind.

He was angry he destroyed everything on his desk. Devon felt everything crumbled down. His world stood still.

Eric also found out when he inquired about Janice. He was shocked when he heard about it.

When he went for another check-up abroad. The doctor said he had a temporary infertile maybe it was already started 2 years ago and now it has to be treated. There is still hope as long that he is willing to undergo the treatment.

Sheri deepens her frown when he stood there in their grave.

Sheri followed him home to know more about what happened to Janice and him.

When he went home. His whole mansion was pitch black. He is the only one who lives there. He went straight to his bed and tried to sleep. Sleep can't visit him no matter how he tried.

Sheri observed him every day.

He lay on his bed every night but wasn't able to sleep. Sometimes he sleeps but only for 4 hours. He always had a nightmare in the middle of the night.

Sheri approached him she wanted to know his dreams, but she can't see it.

Every morning he goes to work. He eats and tried to sleep.

One day his grandma visits him.

"What are you doing to your self." his grandma asked.

" I'm alright grandma. Devon said.

"You're not ok, look at you. Are you trying to kill your self?" his grandma said.

Devon gently spoke "no grandma I'm really ok," he said. In reality, he wanted to pay for his sins toward Sheri by living while dying. He desperately wanted to pay the price. He even gives 50 percent of his companies share toward the family of Sheri to compensate them for what he did.

Her family was shocked when they received an attorney from Goori corporation. Sven didn't mention it toward their parents due to their condition. At first, they refuse it, but Devon makes sure they will accept it.

Devon allegedly wanted to suffer until his last breath. As years go by Sheri saw everything that happened in his life.

He divorced Janice and gives her money since they didn't have a prenup. Devon didn't care as long he will never see her again. Sheri saw how Janice keeps on begging Devon to take her back. She keeps on apologizing by phone or visiting him in his company. Devon asked an attorney for a restraint order, and it was granted. Since then Sheri didn't see Janice anymore.

Another year has gone by Sheri saw how he slowly tormented himself. He almost killed himself when he went through a hard depression, but he keeps on living remembering about Sheri. He never stops visiting her graveyard. To remind him how foolish he is to involve an innocent life. Thinking that Janice was a two-faced person. One day he found out he has a brain tumor.

He has constant pain in his head due to, he cannot sleep. He merely went for a check-up and found out he has a maligning tumor. They advise him to go for an operation, but he never did. His condition has gotten worse, but he didn't care.

On the other side.

Sheri was gazing at his grizzled face. He becomes so feeble. Her grandma and parents were much concern they desperately tried to talk to him for an operation, but he obstinately refuses. He keeps on saying sternly he deserves it.

One dreary day Devon went toward the cemetery where Eric and Sheri were buried. He was so frail. His stamina has gone so bad. He was looking at the grave of Eric.

"You're so fortunate, you had someone who loved you but who would have thought that...." he stops talking when his head throb in pain.

Sheri doesn't know what to feel. She is conflicted. While thinking Sheri suddenly heard like a transmitting electronic sound is trying to speak. Sheri tried listening where it's coming from.

"Host, I've finally found you" The mechanical voice speak.

"I need to get you out in this world ASAP." He urgently said.

"Oh... Sheri was supposed to get angry at the mechanical voice when one corner of her eye saw someone that it seems he's looking at her. He looked at her dumbfounded and was supposed to run toward her. When he tried to reach her. She already vanished.

When Sheri waked up at the void space. "What was that for?"Sheri asked her self.

"Sorry host no time to explain we need you now to the next mission." the system said.

"What the... Wait" Sheri wasn't able to finish her sentence when she was surrounded with bright light.
