Chapter 903 Laura Has Changed
Sheryl, carrying a thermal food container, visited the Xiao family to look for her best friend, Sue. It was
Anthony who opened the door for her. He was stunned when Sheryl appeared at his door.
"Sher? Why are you here?" Anthony was still in shock as he asked this. He didn''t think that Sheryl
would stille after the conflicts she had with Laura.
After all, it was Sheryl who hated getting involved in any conflicts. Laura was at home, which meant
that Sheryl was bound to meet Laura. Since she was here, she had to get ready to meet Laura again.
She must anticipate what could happen.
"I am here to visit Sue," Sheryl said calmly. In fact, if Sue were not here, she would nevere here.
However, Sheryl had no other choice. Sue was pregnant and needed to rest. It would be inconsiderate
of her to ask Sue out just to catch up with her.
"Anthony, is there somebody outside? Who is that?" Laura shouted clearly from inside, "Sue hasn''t
eaten anything yet. Hurry up and bring food for her."
"I aming." Right after that, Anthony directed Sheryl in and told her straightly, "Come in. As you may
know, Sue is taking a rest. She''s upstairs."
Receiving the invitation, Sheryl came in. Laura''s face became a little dark when she saw Sheryl
walking in from outside. The moment she wanted to say something, Carlson who was downstairs
appeared and called, "Sheryl, you are here."
"Nice to meet you, uncle Carlson," Sheryl greeted politely.
"How is your grandpa recently? I haven''t heard anything from him since the incident. There was a
misunderstanding between us before. If he has already forgiven me, I would be much willing to pay him
a visit. I sincerely hope that you could forgive us," Carlson said amiably. His polite and gentle behavior
stopped Laura from acting impolitely to Sheryl.
Sheryl graciously replied, "Grandpa is doing well. He has been invited to the hospital to teach the
young doctors. In fact, he is busier than I am."
"Oh! Is that true?" A trace of sadness shed quickly across Carlson''s face. He thought, ''I am still
young enough to work. It is really worthless to just stay at home without being productive. It makes me
feel bored and useless.'' Concealing his sadness, he said to Sheryl, "Your grandpa is a professional
doctor. It would absolutely be a great and generous move to hand over his skills to the younger
generation."
"Uncle Carlson..." Empathizing with Carlson''s sadness, Sheryl looked at him who was in front of her
and told him, "Regarding your work, I have talked to my grandpa. He has already promised that he
would not interfere with your work again. I believe you''re able to get back to work soon. Please be
more patient."
"Alright. That''s so kind of you to tell me this. I''m fully relieved." Carlson smiled joyfully. It was the first
time that he had shed such a cheerful grin after his work had been suspended.
The delight he felt when he learned about Sue''s pregnancy and the fact that he would be a grandfather
were nothing more than the good news he heard about his job.
Standing by his side, Laura calmly looked at Carlson''s happy face and that was the time when she
suddenly understood the importance of work for Carlson.
That was the job he was willing to devote his whole life. That was the whole point of his existence.
She had been so unreasonable and done lots of unforgivable things just to make him lose his job
before; it was no wonder that he had been so angry and irritated.
Carlson looked at Sheryl and said, "You areing for Sue, aren''t you? She is upstairs now. Do you
need me to escort you there?"
"No, thanks. I can handle it. I will go up by myself," Sheryl said in a surprised tone.
When Sheryl was about to go up, Laura spoke to her, "I will take you upstairs."
After hearing Laura''s words, both Carlson and Anthony looked at her with astonishment.
Laura''s face was very calm and had no any sign of other expressions. However, because of the bad
behavior she had done earlier, they stared at Laura with utter disbelief for fear that she would do
something unimaginable to hurt Sheryl.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Laura nced at Anthony and then turned to look at Carlson.
Sheined, "She is our guest. Could I drive her out?"
"Mom, I''ll soon father a child. What else exactly do you want to do? What do you want me to say?"
Anthony frowned upon thinking of the root that caused of Laura''s actions toward Sheryl.
"Anthony, what the heck are you talking about?" Laura helplessly looked at Anthony and asked, "Am I
really such a wicked person in your heart?"
"Then you…" Anthony was still stunned by the situation.
Laura smilingly told him, "I will take her upstairs to meet Sue. As Sue is still pregnant now, it is not
convenient for her to move frequently. Now, is there any problem?"
After she learned about Carlson''s real thoughts and thefort she felt upon realizing Anthony and
Sue''s stable rtionship, Laura came to recognize her awful and negative treatment toward Sheryl.
Sometimes people suddenly changed.
Grasping what was happening particrly on the sudden change of Laura, both men, Anthony and
Carlson were again stunned.
Carlson didn''t seem to believe what he witnessed so he looked at Laura and asked, "What tricks are

you ying this time?"
"I am really not ying any tricks. Why don''t you try to trust me even for once?" Laura who looked at
Carlson helplessly replied.
It was obvious that Carlson didn''t believe Laura''s words. Since he finally got a promise from Sheryl of
his career, naturally, he didn''t want it to be destroyed by Laura. He looked straight at Sheryl and said,
"Sheryl, if you experience some unreasonable treatment, please be sure to tell me so that I can help
you out."
He shifted his re to Laura as he warned, "You hear me, huh?"
Sheryl too was dazed by what was happening so she fell into silence. Laura''s face was pale but she
managed to say with a wry smile, "All right. I know that''s all my fault. I deserve your mistrust. But for
now, let''s go up to visit Sue."
Laura was in front while Sheryl followed her step by step. When Laura stopped, Sheryl was still thinking
about Laura''s intentions to apany her upstairs.
At the door of Sue''s room, Laura stopped. With this action, Sheryl thought that Laura was about to
cause her trouble again. After all, some harsh words were unsuitable to say in front of Anthony and
Carlson. But now that they were alone, Laura couldpletely show her real intentions.
Unexpectedly, Laura turned to look at Sheryl and calmly said, "Sue is inside. You may get in to see
her."
After finishing her words, Laura turned and was ready to leave. At that time, Sheryl was stunned by
Laura''s action again.
"Aunt Laura…" Sheryl stopped her.
"Hmm? Do you need something?" Laura, facing Sheryl, calmly looked at her as if she hadpletely
changed herself.
"Um... Before I came here, my grandmother had made some chicken soup for Sue. She instructed me
to give it to Sue. But, I am afraid that the soup has already be cold, so could you please heat it?"
"Yes, sure." Laura took the thermal container from Sheryl and said straightly, "Send my thanks to your
grandmother when you are back."
"Okay. I will surely do." Sheryl nodded slightly. When Laura headed downstairs, Sheryl knocked on the
door. Sue walked toward the entryway when she heard the knock. When she saw Sheryl in front of her,
she became so excited. "Sher! You''re finally here. I feel so bored staying here."
Seeing a puzzled expression on Sheryl''s face, Sue asked, "What happened to you? Did Laura bother
you again?"
Sue frowned with that sort of thought. Sheryl was her best friend, while Laura was her soon to be
mother-inw. If their rtionship was always in tension, Sue would be trapped in an awkward
predicament.
"No, not exactly..." Sheryl replied quickly and then continued, "She didn''t bother me. It''s just that, she
is, she…"
Sheryl stammered as she was still having difficulty grasping the situation. Sue was impulsive in asking
Sheryl, "What? What did she do?"
