Chapter 761 Come Back


    Sheryl smiled and told Shirley, "Alright then, how about this? You be a good girl and have your


    breakfast. Once you finish it, I''ll take you to meet a very pretty older sister. Be nice to her and answer


    all her questions. After that, I''ll take you to y with Charlie. Okay?"


    Her eyes lighting up, Shirley nodded in agreement.


    Sheryl was deeply moved to see that Shirley was willing to listen to her with an open mind.


    After breakfast, Sheryl took Shirley to a psychologist. She was fairly young yet Sheryl trusted her as


    she was rmended by Arthur.


    Sheryl waited by the door after leading Shirley to the treatment room.


    She was quite curious about what was happening inside, but she had no choice but to wait quietly


    outside.


    The entire sessionsted for one and a half hour. When the psychologist came out with Shirley, she


    squatted down to talk to Shirley, "Shirley, we made a deal, right?"


    She reached out her little finger for Shirley to hold. After some hesitation, Shirley eventually reached


    out tentatively to hold her finger. A trace of smile appeared on her face, but quickly faded away.


    Sheryl was stunned to see this.


    The doctor then stood up and talked to Sheryl, "Don''t be anxious. Her condition is not that critical. Take


    an appointment for the same time next week. Bring Shirley to me. We will treat her for one month first


    and see if there is any improvement."


    "Doctor Lin, thank you and I am sorry for troubling you so much," Sheryl said with a sad smile.


    "Please don''t say that. It is my duty as a doctor to help my patients," Doctor Lin looked at Sheryl and


    said. "You havee on Doctor Zhao''s reference. I owe my career to Doctor Zhao. If it were not for


    him, I would not be a doctor today. Now, it is my turn to repay his generosity."


    She smiled kindly and continued, "After you go back, talk to her often and encourage her to tell you


    what she is thinking about. The more she talks, the better she will be able to express her emotions and


    to vent her negative feelings. That will help her mental well-being and help her swift recovery."


    She paused and then advised further, "You need to set a good example yourself. Control your temper.


    No matter how bitter or distressed you feel, do not reveal it to her. You are the most important person in


    her life and you must influence her positively. She subconsciously will follow all the cues you give her."


    "Sure, I will keep that in mind. Thanks for making me understand," Sheryl agreed with a nod.


    Shirley firmly grasped Sheryl''s hand when they came out of the hospital. She tugged at it but remained


    silent. Sheryl knew that Shirley was reminding her about Charlie.


    Sheryl squatted down, looked into Shirley''s eyes, and said patiently, "Shirley, I know that you want to


    go to Charlie, but before that you have to promise me one more thing."


    Shirley inclined her head slightly and looked at her mom with confusion.

    "From now on you have to tell me what you want in words. No signnguage or pointing and nodding,"


    Sheryl said. "You have to talk to me or I will not respond to you, okay?"


    As Shirley was trying to grasp her words, Sheryl made it even clearer. "Now... tell me, do you want to


    meet Charlie?"


    Shirley hesitated and then she slowly nodded. Noticing her mom starting to raise her eyebrows, Shirley


    eventually opened her mouth and murmured a extremely soft "yes".


    Sheryl was relieved to hear Shirley speak. The one word from her daughter expelled her hopelessness


    away. She hugged Shirley tightly and immediately came to Dream Garden, where Charlie was.


    Only Gary and Charlie were at home. They were ying chess. Seeing Shirley, Charlie dropped his


    chess piece right away and ran towards her. He held her hand and gently pulled her forward into the


    room.


    The two kids soon went to the courtyard to y. Gary also put his piece down and asked Sheryl to sit.


    "Sheryl, about Shirley, I have heard about it. I am so sorry, my dear." Gary sighed. Then he continued,


    "It was all our fault. We caused you so much suffering. Even now you are taking care of her all by


    yourself. I don''t know how all this happened and why. I will never forgive my..."


    "Grandpa, don''t say that..." Forcing a smile on her face, Sheryl said, "In fact, I am responsible for this. If


    I had not taken the drug, all the things afterwards would not have happened. Luckily, things are settled


    now and are starting to turn better. Don''t me yourself."


    "How can I not me myself!" Gary smiled wryly and said, "See now it is... difficult for you to look after


    Shirley by yourself. Why note back to live here with Shirley, in your own house? After you left, your


    room has remained untouched. Just a couple of days back, Charles got Shirley''s room ready. You can


    settle in easily when you choose toe back."


    "No Grandpa, please do not make this request again," Sheryl refused with a smile on her face. Though


    she had recovered most of her memories, she was unwilling to be Autumn again. She had a life


    as Sheryl now and could not ept to live in Dream Garden.


    "Shirley and I are perfectly fine where we are. We have be ustomed to living on our own. We


    are veryfortable and face no inconvenience," Sheryl said tly and in an emotionless voice.


    Gary refrained from saying anything more. He knew that he was not in the best position to get involved


    in matters of the younger generation. Also, he was very confident that Charles knew best and would


    handle all that.


    "Well then. If you don''t wish to move back, I won''t force you." Gary stood up and said, "Anyway,


    remember that whenever you want toe back, the doors of this house are always open for you."


    "Thank you, Grandpa." Sheryl nodded with a warm smile.


    After Gary went to his room to rest, Sheryl wandered into the courtyard. Nacy had nted vegetables


    in a small space that she had cleared out. Shirley was interested to see the tiny sprouts and insisted on


    helping Nacy water the vegetable patch. Charlie ran inside and brought out a small kettle to water the


    nts. The kids were having great fun ying together and enjoying themselves. Sheryl finally saw a


    rare smile on Shirley''s face after many days.


    Nacy followed them around as she was worried that they might slip and get injured. "Oh my dear! Be


    careful. Don''t slip and fall. You will break your bones."


    "Nacy, calm down. Don''t worry so much. Let them y for a while. It doesn''t matter," Sheryl said as she


    walked up to Nacy.


    Sheryl knew that Nacy was worried about the children. She smiled and offered, "I''ll take care of them


    here. You can go and attend to your other work."


    "Okay then. If it is fine with you, I can go in and prepare some food. My work is not yetplete." Nacy


    nodded and briskly walked into the house.


    Shortly after Nacy left, Chris and Sam came. They were surprised to see her there as they didn''t know


    that Sheryl had recovered.


    "Autu..." Chris almost said but fortunately she caught herself in time and swallowed back her words.


    She walked to Sheryl and asked, "Miss Xia, howe you are here? Where is my brother?"


    "He is at work, I think. Shirley wanted to y with Charlie, so I brought her here," Sheryl spoke in a t


    tone and did not disy any emotion.


    Chris then noticed the two kids who wereughing away as they sprayed water on themselves and the


    nts. Their clothes were fully wet and muddy. She hurried to call out, "Charlie, take care of your little


    sister."


    "I will Auntie. Don''t worry," Charlie replied in his clear voice.
