Chapter 1400 I Trust You
Sheryl paused for a while and then continued hesitantly, "The way she talked to me brought me back to
that scary night. I didn''t know how to face her. I couldn''t stop myself from shivering when I saw her."
With Sheryl''s words, Charles didn''t feel surprised. After all, he knew her well, and his assumption was
right. What he didn''t anticipate was the fact that Sheryl was traumatized, which upset him a lot.
With no words, he hugged Sheryl tightly in his arms. The concern and anxiety of Sheryl were so strong
that Charles could feel it. He said softly, in an attempt tofort her, "Don''t be afraid, Sher. I am
always with you. You don''t need to worry about anything. Whether it is Le or not, I promise that I will
try my best to find out the truth and bring the murderer to justice."
Feeling rxed, Sheryl leaned her head on Charles'' shoulder, and finally stopped shivering. She
gradually calmed herself down, as if she didn''t panic just now.
"I trust you, Charles. Thank you for being with me all the time," Sheryl said softly, feeling fervor
because of her husband''s words.
"It''s no big deal, Sher. Come on! We''re husband and wife. We are supposed to help and support each
other. Before I catch the murderer, I will never let her show up in front of you," Charles said with
assurance.
"Thank you, Charles," she said sincerely. Right now, Sheryl was like a meek kitty, lying in his arms, and
feeling his warmth.
Meanwhile, Le, who was eavesdropping outside the ward, was dumbstruck. The paleness of her face
was apparent that she couldn''t hide her anger and shock.
The pale expression caught Melissa as she took a nce at her. Noment came from Melissa with
Charles'' statement, a sign that she was turning her back at Le for real. Nevertheless, it was Le
who caused all the trouble, and Melissa had nothing to do with it. If Charles made up his mind to
discover the truth, there was nothing Melissa could do to stop him. She just felt sorry for Le, who was
feeling pressured and terrified now.
Silently, Le was mind blown. She almost lost her bnce and fell on the floor if Melissa wasn''t
holding her.
Le regretted not having killed Sheryl. If Sheryl had died already, it would be more satisfying to see
than having this situation now. At least, she didn''t need to feel scared. As she clenched her fist so hard,
her fingernails pierced into her palm inevitably.
In the canteen of the hospital, feeling perplexed, Cassie just stared at her lunch and didn''t take a bite.
She didn''t have any appetite.
However, instead of making a fuss, Cora got used to Cassie being absent-minded and upset.
"Cassie, what''s bothering you? You didn''t even take a bite. How can you go back to work without eating
anything?"
Cora said to Cassie. She didn''t want to see Cassie like this anymore.
What Cassie could do was shake her head and reply indifferently, "I don''t feel like eating. I don''t know
why. I have no appetite recently."
"You should think about your health, Cassie. Your face is so pale. Shouldn''t you see a doctor?" she
asked, worried about Cassie. What friend could not worry about Cassie''s condition? It was natural for
Cora to be concerned for her.
Cassie burst intoughter. "Cora, I can tell whether I am sick or not myself. I am like a doctor, right?"
Cassie yfully said and giggled.
Cassie''s words amused Cora. They finished their lunch, and there was still some time remaining for
their break. However, as they walked out of the canteen, they heard people gossiping.
"How strange! Isn''t Sheryl Mr. Lu''s wife? Why does Mr. Lu''s mother care about Le more than she
does to Sheryl?"

"Yeah, I noticed that too. No matter where Mr. Lu''s mother goes, there is always Le. I heard that they
two had a fight and made a scene in Sheryl''s ward yesterday."
"If Mr. Lu didn''t show up in time, what could have happened? Well, I don''t know that a ssy family like
them will have so much drama. If I were Sheryl, I might need to reconsider whether I would marry
Charles or not."
"Well, you should take your time then. There are a lot of women out there who want to marry Charles
and be part of the Lu family. You hesitate, you lose the chance."
People kept gossiping and giggling, not caring whoever was around.
Feeling outraged, Cassie couldn''t hear this anymore. Her heart tightened when she heard the gossip of
the people. No one told her that Sheryl was sick and she was staying in the hospital where she worked.
What was worse, she knew nothing about it.
It turned out that Sheryl had a tough time. Although they didn''t meet each other many times and they
knew each other through Nick, Cassie knew Sheryl well. She knew Sheryl was pretty, kind, and
independent that made her a perfect wife wished by every man.
''A person like Sheryl doesn''t deserve to be so unfairly treated!'' Cassie thought.
All of a sudden, Cassie felt like she needed to check on Sheryl right now.
Grudgingly, she then excused herself to Cora and ran to the counter. She asked the receptionist which
room Sheryl was staying in and rushed to her ward.
In the meantime, Sheryl just finished her lunch and was going to take a nap. But the moment she
closed her eyes, all she could see was Shirley''s smiley face. Her daughter was smiling at her. She was
so innocent and cute. But the next second, her face started to fade. The little girl started to walk away
from Sheryl, and it was getting harder for her to see the little girl.
"Don''t, don''t leave Mommy, Shirley!" she pleaded. Sheryl stretched out her hand instinctively, wanting
to grab Shirley''s hands. But all she got was air.
With tears in her eye, Sheryl woke up from her dream. She realized that she was staying in the
hospital. Shirley wasn''t here.
Feeling frightened, Sheryl struggled to sit up and leaned her back against headrest of the bed. Her
eyes closed with bitterness. At this moment, her grief and sorrow were eternal. The dream caused her
to miss Shirley so much that she almost lost control. Feeling suffocated, she wanted to go outside her
ward to breathe in some fresh air. If she stayed alone, she might go crazy.
"Sher! There you are!" a feminine voice shrieked. Sheryl almost fell upon hearing a familiar sound. Who
could have called her with such anxiety?
With curiosity, she turned around and saw Cassie smiling at her.
"Cassie?" she called out in surprise. Sheryl didn''t remember that Cassie worked at this hospital until
now. How could she forget it?
"Sher, I hear that you are staying in the hospital. How could you not tell me? I cane and visit you."
Cassie hurriedly walked to Sheryl and held her arms. They walked towards a table and sat down.
Seeing Sheryl''s pale face made Cassie worried more, so she asked anxiously, "Sher, what happened?
Why are you staying in the hospital? Who did this to you?"
To lessen Cassie''s uneasiness, Sheryl smiled and said, "I am fine, Cassie. I am recovering, though I''m
not quite alright about mental state. A lot of things are bothering metely."
With a deep sigh, Cassie asked, "Now, tell me what exactly happened. Sher, are you receiving a
wicked treatment from the Lu family?"
Remembering about the gossip in the canteen, she felt angry again. She could have helped Sheryl if
she knew her situation already.
Yes, Sheryl wasn''t Cassie''s rtive, and they didn''t see each other very often. They were just friends
like others. But because of Nick, Sheryl had been taking care of Cassie, and she tried to set them up.
Therefore, Cassie respected and cared about Sheryl.
