Chapter 624 Recurring Nightmares


    "Charlie, hurry and get my phone. It''s in my room." Upon getting his phone, Charles quickly called their


    family doctor. A few minutester, Doctor Hu arrived and rushed to see Sheryl. He gave her a quick


    physical examination. He didn''t find anything wrong with Sheryl. It seemed like Sheryl was struck by


    something which scared her and made her faint.


    "Doctor Hu, what happened? What''s wrong with Sher?" Sheryl''s forehead was covered with sweat.


    Charles noticed it but couldn''t do anything to help her. For him, that kind of feeling really sucked.


    "Well, there''s nothing wrong with her, Charles. She''s perfectly fine!" The doctor replied as he packed up


    his stuff. "She might have experienced a panic attack after something hit her. She will be better after a


    good rest."


    "That''s impossible!" Nothing struck Sheryl. She just started to sweat and turned into this condition all of


    a sudden. Charles pulled the doctor''s shirt cor and ordered nervously,"Give her another checkup.


    Make it more thorough and careful this time. Please hurry up!"


    "Charles…" Doctor Hu was quite familiar with Charles. He didn''t intend to hide anything from thetter.


    He wrinkled his eyebrows and exined,"I remember, you told me that she lost her memory. Perhaps


    she just remembered something from her past which made her panic and lose consciousness."


    "Are you trying to say that she might get her memory back and recall what happened before?" asked


    Charles.


    "Yes." Nodding his head, Doctor Hu continued,"Her memory loss was induced by a medicine. Normally,


    meeting familiar people or being in a familiar environment could trigger her brain to ess all sorts of


    memories, including the inactive ones. However, it seemed that what happened in her past was torture


    for her. Therefore, it might not be advisable for Sheryl to remember everything."


    Doctor Hu gave Charles a nce and added,"Think about it."


    What the doctor said really made sense. Charles was at a loss. He didn''t know how to respond nor did

    he know what to do. On the other hand, he really wished that Sheryl would regain her memory. In that


    way, he would at least know what happened three years ago.


    If what happened in the past was too painful for Sheryl, then what was the point of remembering all


    those things?


    After seeing off the doctor, Charles held Sheryl into his arms and carried her into the bedroom. Heid


    her down on the bed. Sheryl still looked very anxious. She was sweating so Charles wiped off the


    sweat from her forehead. When he was about to take the two kids to the dining room for breakfast,


    Sheryl suddenly grabbed his hand. "No! Please don''t hurt my baby."


    Although she couldn''t remember what happened in the past, Sheryl had recurring nightmares. Charles


    felt sorry and sad just by watching her in agony.


    Charles squeezed Sheryl''s hand firmly. He really wished he could take all the pain and suffering from


    her. She didn''t deserve to go through all those painful experiences.


    "Charlie," Charles uttered as he turned around,"please go to the dining room with Shirley and have


    your breakfast first. I''ll stay here with Sher."


    "Uncle Charles." Shirley was a little scared. She inquired,"Is Sher going to be okay?"


    "Sure, she''ll be okay. Don''t worry sweetie. I''ll look after her," Charles promised and gave a smile to


    Shirley.


    Reassured by Charles'' words, Shirley went downstairs with Charlie. Sheryl was still in a daze. She


    grabbed Charles'' hand firmly as if she was holding a life vest.


    Sitting next to Sheryl on the bed, Charles felt really bad watching Sheryl having a nightmare. Her


    eyebrows were tightly furrowed.


    Sheryl was having an extended dream. In her dream, she just gave birth to a baby boy. She clearly saw


    that the baby boy had the same birthmark on the wrist just like Charlie''s. Then, a woman barged in and


    hurriedly took her baby away. Sheryl wanted to know who she was. But no matter how hard she tried,


    she just couldn''t see the woman''s face.


    She wanted to shout out loud but no words came out of her mouth.


    She wanted to grab the woman''s hand, but she couldn''t move her body, at all.


    Helplessly, she just watched the woman walk away as she carried her baby boy in her arms. The


    woman left Sheryl nothing but the sight of her leaving shadow.


    Sheryl was so scared and startled that she woke up. Her clothes were wet, soaked by her sweat. Then


    she saw Charles sitting next to her. Sheryl was very surprised and pulled back her hand from his grasp.


    Embarrassed, she asked Charles. "What… what happened to me?"


    "You passed out," Charles said and gazed at Sheryl. "Are you feeling better?"


    "Yeah." Sheryl wanted to sit up but failed because of dizziness. She had lost all her strength. Charles


    gave her a cushion and helped her sit up. He said to her gently,"You''re still very weak now. The doctor


    just gave you a check up. He said nothing was wrong with you. Are you feeling hungry? Do you want to


    eat something?"


    "No, thank you. I''m fine." Charles hadn''t recovered from his injury. Sheryl came here to take care of


    him. However, she suddenly passed out and ironically, Charles ended as the one taking care of her.


    Sheryl felt very embarrassed and sorry.


    "I''ll make lunch for you after I have a good rest," Sheryl said, still struggling. But Charles made her stay


    in bed. He said firmly,"Look at yourself. Forget about lunch. Why don''t you just lie in bed and take a


    rest? I''ll make lunch. Don''t worry about that."


    "No way!" Sheryl said and wrinkled her eyebrows. "I came here to take care of you. Howe…"


    Charles stopped Sheryl and blurted,"Please don''t move!" His hands were gentle on Sheryl''s shoulders.


    Sheryl realized that she couldn''t move her body at all. "It''s settled then. Stay here and have a good


    rest," Charles said calmly.


    Charles looked at Sheryl and uttered,"I''ll get you a ss of water."


    Charles didn''t mention to Sheryl that she just had a nightmare. Sheryl had screamed,"Stop, don''t take


    my baby!" while she was dreaming. The sight was heart-breaking and made Charles felt really sorry for


    her.


    Charles sent out his staff to look for the missing child. He couldn''t ask Sheryl about him considering


    that she had lost her memory.


    But Charles was sure about one thing. That baby was taken away by someone. Charles learned it from


    Sheryl''s relentless screams.


    Charles closed the door gently and went downstairs. Charlie and Shirley had already finished their


    breakfast and were already having fun in the yhouse. Charles asked Charlie to take care of Shirley


    before he got a ss of milk and went upstairs.


    When Charles opened the door, he saw Sheryl in a pensive mood. She remembered the nightmare she


    just had. Everything in that dream was so real that she felt like she had just experienced the whole


    scene. She couldn''t even tell whether it was only a dream or something that was real.


    Seeing Sheryl in that condition melted Charles'' heart. He stood in front of the door for a long time


    before he managed to smile and walked into the room. He said to her,"Drink some milk, Sheryl. It might


    help you calm down."


    "Thank you," Sheryl said politely. She also stopped thinking about the dream. Charles sat next to her


    and finally decided to ask after a long pause,"Did you just have a nightmare?"


    Sheryl was surprised. Alerted, she stared at Charles. Smiling, Charles said,"Rx. I just heard you


    talking frantically in your sleep. So I wondered if you were having a bad dream."
