Chapter 1254 Done
Because of the disclosure of some secret information, their bosses had already figured out that Sheryl
must have something to do with Le''s poisoning. Their bosses were also informed that once Le
regained her consciousness, she would cooperate with the following actions. As such, the impact of the
ident was purposely maximized. It started as a spark, but was fueled into a huge fire.
Sheryl noticed that no one actually showed any interest in talking to her. She had no way to y the
same trick again, so she just sat on a bench nearby quietly. Obviously, there was no use attempting it
again.
Right at this moment, a tall figure approached from the other end of the corridor.
It was Charles. He had started looking for Sheryl as soon as he reached the hospital. After learning that
Le was in the emergency room, he wasted no time rushing there.
From afar, he could see Sheryl sitting alone on the bench. He could recognize her familiar figure
anywhere. Seeing her sitting all by herself, he couldn''t help but feel heart-broken.
"Sher!" Charles called out.
Hearing his familiar voice, she initially thought she must be hearing things. ''I must be daydreaming right
now. How could he possibly be here?'' Sheryl thought to herself.
Letting out a dolefulugh, she shook her head, sorrow clearly visible on her face. How she wished to
have Charles by her side right now! Then, she wouldn''t feel so lonely. At least, she would have a
shoulder to lean on.
"Sher!" he called out again, after walking closer.
Upon hearing his voice again, Sheryl stood up abruptly, turning her head. She watched in disbelief as
the man walked closer and closer.
''It really is Charles. But why is he here?'' Sheryl wondered.
"Sher!" When Charles finally got close enough to her, he scooped the woman into his arms. For the
third time, he called out her name, softly and affectionately this time.
"Charles!" Sheryl hugged back tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She had been holding back her emotions for too long. With Charles by her side, there was no way that
she could hold onto the tears any longer. It had been such an awful day for her. Charles was like a
beacon of hope in the sheer darkness. Finally, she had someone to rely on. All she wanted to do was
hide in his arms and vent all her emotions.
However, as much as she wanted to do so, she couldn''t. There were still some reporters keeping a
watchful eye on them right now. Plus, they were at the hospital. She would refrain herself from
behaving like an emotional wreck in a public space.
"Why are you back?" Sheryl asked, raising her head to look him in the eye.
Even though Sheryl was trying her best to hide her tears, Charles quickly understood the haze in her
eyes. Grief-stricken, he patted her head and said, "Mom called me and told me what happened here.
You don''t have to worry. I''m here with you now."
''Melissa called Charles back?'' Sheryl thought to herself, puzzled.
The thought immediately made her tense.
''What is Melissa up to this time?''
Sheryl had never imagined her to be so kind-hearted. Thest thing Melissa would do was call Charles
back to help and console her. She must have some sort of ulterior motive, something perilous.
Despite her suspicion, she couldn''t say it out loud. After all, Melissa was Charles'' mother. If Sheryl said
anything, Melissa would try to ruin her rtionship with Charles.
"Thank you, Charles." Again she buried her head into his chest. Out of the corner of her eye, she could
clearly see the reporters with their eyes fixed on them, ready to take photos for their headlines
tomorrow.
"Charles, the reporters are around. I can''t talk to you so freely…" Sheryl murmured to him.
His eyes suddenly turned cold. He was so excited to see Sheryl that he forgot to even scan his
surroundings. Now that Sheryl had mentioned it, he noticed the reporters. The small crowd of people
nearby seemed to be chatting, but they would casually nce in their direction. They were watching
them!
An expression of anger shed across his face.
Letting go of Sheryl''s hand, he uttered, "I''ll deal with this."
"Charles…" Sheryl warned quietly. She was worried about what Charles was nning to do.
"Don''t worry about it Sher." After giving her a reassuring nce, he walked straight up to the crowd.
Upon seeing Charles approaching, the group of reporters stood up straight and smiled. However, they
wouldn''t look him in the eye.
"Hey fes, shall we have a little chat?" Charles invited with aposed look.
The reporters looked at each other, worried for what Charles was going to do. They were expecting
someone else to speak first. They had heard stories about Charles using brutal methods against his
business opponents in order to build his empire.
They didn''t think mercy was even a word in his dictionary. How could they not be afraid of such a man?
But they had no choice, as reporting on Charles was an order from the top. While they had originally
thought this task would be simple, they hadn''t expected the sudden return of Charles. It had turned
their simple task into an impossible one.
"What? Don''t you want to chat with me?" The second time Charles asked the question, his tone
became even colder.
"Since it appears you don''t wish to speak with me, then it''s best that you leave."
Once again, the reporters exchanged nervous nces. Terror was evident in their eyes.
They were intimidated by such a powerful man.
But should they leave? If they left just like that, their bosses would be unhappy with their results.
However, the man wasn''t going to let them have their way. To confront the powerful man or to confront
their bosses?
It was a hard decision.
In such a difficult predicament, the reporters were starting to be agitated.
"Okay, I understand that you have your orders. Which newspaper are you working for?" Charles asked
and then added, "I don''t want to make things difficult for you. So just tell me. I''ll give your bosses a
call."
All the reporters quickly told Charles the name of the newspaper they worked for.
Without hesitating, Charles took his phone out of his pocket and made several calls.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Charles here…"
"Right, Mr. Wang, your man is following me. I didn''t know that you took such interest in my personal
life…"
"Mr. Li, ask your people to leave right now. It''ll be like nothing happened…"
After ending the call, Charles happily slid his phone back into his pocket. Turning around, he walked
towards Sheryl without taking even a nce back at the reporters.
"Done." Charles beamed at Sheryl.
Thedy was pleasantly surprised. ''He fixed it so easily, '' Sheryl thought to herself in awe.
In no time at all, the reporters who had been watching her were gone. To be more precise, they had
fled as if Charles were a monster.
Sheryl was amazed by Charles'' power. He had made a few simple phone calls and now the annoying
followers were gone.
"Don''t give me that admiring look," he said, smiling. Suddenly, Charles winked and gestured to below
his belt. "I''ve been missing you a lot."
Sheryl was stunned for a brief moment, but then became bashful. To ease her embarrassment, she
punched his chest with her small fist.

How could this man say something so tantly sexual in the hospital…
"Let''s go." Abruptly, Charles started walking with Sheryl in his arms.
"Go? But…" Sheryl was confused. Le was still in aa, how could she just leave?
"I''ll have someone stay here with Le. Don''t worry. I bet you''re exhausted. Let''s go back and rest."
Prompting her gently, Charles kissed her nose.
"Well… Okay then." Sheryl suddenly remembered that her children would be home from school by
now. She had to go back home to check on them, or else she wouldn''t stop worrying about them.
The answer was rather satisfying for Charles. With a huge grin, he apanied Sheryl towards the
main gate of the hospital.
