Chapter 495 Leaving Charles


    Autumn lowered her head dejectedly. She didn''t want to talk about what happened. Anthony sighed


    resignedly and changed the subject. "You''ve been unconscious for several days, so you must be


    hungry. I will bring you steamed chicken soup. I''ll be back in a moment," he said and went to the


    kitchen.


    Anthony was relieved that Autumn had regained consciousness. She had been through an ordeal and


    needed nourishing food to restore her health. Anthony prepared chicken soup every day hoping that


    Autumn would wake up. He wanted to serve her tonic food once she woke up to speed up her


    recovery.


    He had examined Autumn thoroughly and he knew that she had regained consciousness but she was


    unwilling to wake up. Knowing that Autumn was pretending to be unconscious, Anthony was unwilling


    to disturb her.


    He was still unclear what had happened to her, but he knew she must have suffered a lot.


    Anthony came back with a bowl of steamed chicken soup and handed it to Autumn. "It may be a bit


    nd. I only added a little salt. Drink it up. Now that you have delivered your babies, you need to take


    good care of your health," he said gently.


    "Thank you!" Autumn looked at Anthony gratefully. She owed him a lot for letting her stay in his ce


    and taking care of her.


    "No need to thank me. What are friends for?" Anthony returned with a smile. Autumn drank the soup


    slowly. Anthony watched her for a while, and then told her softly,"Rest more today. You have to regain


    your strength. I''m leaving now."


    He knew that Autumn was not yet ready to talk to him about what she had gone through, so he decided


    to wait until she would approach him voluntarily.


    "Wait," Autumn stopped him, biting her lip hesitantly. After all the unpleasant things that took ce in a


    short time, Autumn needed a friend to confide in. In her eyes, Anthony was the best confidant.


    "Are you busy today? I… I want to talk to you," Autumn asked, looking at Anthony pleadingly.


    Nodding, Anthony walked back to her and settled himself at the edge of her bed. Finally, she was


    willing to talk. But Autumn was silent for a while as if marshaling her thoughts. Anthony frowned and


    said,"Charles has beenbing Y City during the past days and it''s only a matter of time before he


    finds that you''re hiding in my house. You have to tell me the truth so I can help you. Otherwise, I can''t


    stop him if hees here to bring you and the baby back."


    "Never! I won''t return to that house," Autumn returned vehemently. A hint of anxiety passed her eyes


    before she turned cold with anger. Giving Anthony a pleading look, she said,"Please don''t tell him that


    I''m here."


    "Tell me what happened," Anthony urged her, confusion in his eyes. ''As far as I knew, they were on


    good terms.


    Now, suddenly Autumn seems to hate Charles. I noticed the pain and anger in her eyes as she


    mentioned her husband''s name. Autumn seems to regard Charles as a bitter enemy now and not


    anymore her loving husband. What''s really going on here?'' He shook his head at his confused thought.


    "Autumn, if you don''t tell me what happened, I can''t help you," Anthony reminded her sternly.


    Autumn leaned her head back against the pillow. The sound of Le''s voice echoing in her head made


    her burst into tears.


    "Don''t cry. You will have a rpse if you don''t stop," Anthonyforted her. "If you guys have a


    misunderstanding, you can sit together and work it out," he reasoned with her.


    "You don''t understand," Autumn sighed, smiling bitterly. ''No one can understand how desperate and


    depressed I am now, '' she thought sadly.


    Autumn took a deep breath and recounted Le''s hateful words to Anthony. Upon hearing the story,


    Anthony frowned and said,"I don''t know what''s going on between Charles and that girl. But as for the


    matter regarding Emily, I''m sorry, but I''m a part of it, too." he confessed guiltily.


    "You, too!" Autumn eximed, dismayed at what she just heard. "How could you lie to me? Why? You


    knew how important Emily was to me. How could you have kept me in the dark about her death?" she


    reproached him bitterly.


    "She brought me up and she sacrificed so much for me. But I didn''t even attend her funeral. Do you


    know how much I regret that? She was everything to me and I didn''t even get the chance to say


    goodbye to her," she cried.


    "Please listen to me, Autumn," Anthony begged as he hurriedly exined,"We didn''t want to keep you


    in the dark at first. But when you found that Emily was in the operating room, you were so distraught


    that you almost had a miscarriage. I''m your doctor, I couldn''t risk any chances. Charles agreed with me


    to keep Emily''s death a secret and tell you after you gave birth. But we didn''t expect..."


    They didn''t expect that Le woulde to Autumn and tell her about this. Anthony admitted that they


    made a rash decision keeping her grandmother''s death from her. It was a big blow to Autumn.


    "I trusted you, Anthony. How could you help them lie to me?" Autumn told him in a hard disappointed


    tone.

    Anthony couldn''t defend himself. ''It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have lied to her, '' he told himself with regret.


    Looking seriously at Autumn, he said,"You can''t trust that woman''s words. She has an ulterior motive in


    telling you that. You should go home and talk to Charles and figure out this matter."


    "Go home?" Autumnughed cynically. "I told you, never! Never would I set foot in that house again. I


    have seen their naked pictures. I''m through with him," she said roughly.


    There was nothing to work out. The pictures said it all. She was certain that the pictures that Le had


    shown her were original and not processed.


    "Don''t be too rash, Autumn," Anthony advised his friend with a frown. "I haven''t known Charles for a


    long time, but I think he is a man of integrity. He doesn''t strike me as an unfaithful husband. I think you


    should go back to him."


    "If you insist on asking me to go back to him, I''ll leave here with my child immediately," Autumn told


    Anthony, getting up from the bed.


    Anthony panicked at Autumn''s words and hurriedly put her back in the bed. "Stay, Autumn. You''re too


    weak to go anywhere," he said with a concerned look.


    Autumn got up again and started putting on her shoes and walking towards the door. Anthony grimace.


    Looking at her resolute face, he knew that she was not bluffing. Anthony raised his hand to his heart


    and promised,"I promise I won''t force you toe back as long as you don''t want to. I want you to stay


    here and take good care of yourself and your baby, okay?"


    Autumn turned around and walked back towards the bed when she heard Anthony''s words.


    There was another thing he had been meaning to ask Autumn, so he asked hesitantly,"What about the


    other baby?"


    Autumn''s heart broke as she thought about her baby boy. The mention of her other child brought a


    constriction in her throat and she swallowed. After a while, she said,"He was taken by Le.


    Le took him and said she would bring him to Charles," Autumn said bitterly. ''Charles has my son.


    This way, I owe him nothing, '' she convinced herself but her heart felt hollow at the loss of her son.


    The moment Le had taken the baby away, she knew that she couldn''t stay with Charles anymore.
