Chapter 1409 Nothing Is Wrong With Her


    Sheryly still in the hospital bed stretching her arm for the intra-venal to pass smoothly. However, her


    mind was not at peace. She knew it for sure that it was Le who had kidnapped Shirley. Also, she was


    confident that she could get Shirley back this time under her deal.


    The news of Shirleying back to her first by a text message from Le was a new elixir of life for


    Sheryl andter even Nancy called to congratte her for Shirley''s being safe and sound at home.


    Sheryl was beyond thrilled and almost jumped off her bed. In her excitement, she raised her hand that


    had the IV injected in it. This resulted in the needle getting moved from its ce causing blood oozing


    out from her hand. But even the hurt did not stop her to express her excitement. Fortunately, the nurse


    came to help Sheryl in time and calmed her down.


    "Mrs. Lu, please be more careful. If this happens again, your hand will be swollen," the nurse reminded


    Sheryl seriously with a concerned look on her face.


    The nurse carefully readjusted the needle as she spoke to Sheryl. She didn''t leave until she confirmed


    that the IV was set properly and there was no more blooding out of Sheryl''s hand.


    "Mrs. Lu, remember to take your pills on time." Before the nurse walked out of the ward, she reminded


    Sheryl again.


    Sheryl nodded her head at the nurse politely. She breathed a great sigh of relief after the nurse left.


    Sheryl cast a disgruntled nce at hand. She hated having an IV or even taking any medicine. But, the


    next moment, her face broke into a smile. Shirley being back home was like a prayer being answered.


    Sheryl had gone through the toughest time. And the bitter medicine or the IV for that matter was hardly


    a match for that.


    Shirleying back to the Lu family gave Sheryl a lot of strength. She was eager to get recovered as


    soon as possible so that she could be discharged from the hospital and go back home to see her little


    princess. She needed Shirley to see her in her best condition.


    Sheryl was skeptical that Shirley would be disturbed if she saw her mother''s pale face. Shirley was


    always a considerate and sensitive girl. Shirley just survived a kidnap, and Sheryl didn''t want her


    daughter to go through another trauma.


    Although Sheryl''s body was in the hospital bed at the moment, her mind was back in the Dream


    Garden, back to her little girl. She tried her best to control her desires and wait patiently in the ward.


    She waited for Charles to give her the good news himself.


    In the Dream Garden, Melissa burst into tears when she saw her missing granddaughter. Even she felt


    relieved. After all, she agreed with Le about kidnapping Shirley at the very beginning. If Charles got


    to the bottom of it, he was bound to find her to be an aplice.


    If something happened to Shirley, Melissa would have had to regret for the rest of her life. Now that


    Shirley returned safe and sound, it was a happy ending. Everyone was happy and relieved in the Lu


    family.


    Feeling light in her heart and excited, Melissa walked towards Shirley''s bedroom with a smile on her


    face, wanting to check on her. She knocked on the door. Charles opened the door. He looked at her


    annoyed andined, "Mom, Shirley just fell asleep. What are you doing up here?" This time


    Charles could not help being rude to his mother. Melissa had let him down over and over again. She


    had never ceased from making trouble for him and Sheryl all the time. Even when Shirley was missing,


    Melissa couldn''t stop her dramas, adding fuel to the mes. Charles was thoroughly disappointed and


    had no faith left in his mother.


    Melissa pouted and said, "Charles, is this the way you should talk to your mom? I am happy that


    Shirley is back home. I just want to see her. It has been a long time since she is gone. I have done


    nothing wrong."


    Melissa lowered her voice as she replied to Charles. She still remembered thest time she got


    scolded by her son and it really scared her. So now, even though she had done nothing wrong, she


    dared not to defend herself and raise her voice.


    But Charles didn''t give a damn about Melissa. He waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave and stood

    straightly in front of the door, standing in Melissa''s way. He didn''t want anyone to interrupt Shirley, even


    if it was his own mother.


    The next morning, although Charles didn''t want to wake up Shirley, but he was afraid that she might be


    hungry. He hesitated for a while as he stood by her bed watching her sleep peacefully surrounded by


    pillows and cushions and finally decided to wake her up. He held her in his arms and came downstairs


    for breakfast.


    He didn''t know what Shirley had been through or what she ate during the entire time that she was held


    up by the kidnappers, so he decided to y it safe. He helped Shirley get a bowl of millet congee and


    fed her spoon by spoon.


    Shirley told Charles she was full after a few bites and refused to eat more irrespective of how much


    Charles coax or cajole her. Charles looked at Shirley regretfully, feeling sorry for his little baby.


    He held Shirley''s arms. She felt light as a feather. ''Asshole.'' Charles thought to himself, ''The kidnapper


    must have treated Shirley badly. Did they even give her something to eat? Otherwise, why would


    Shirley lose her appetite?'' Shirley used to be capable of having two bowls of congee. Now she refused


    to eat after taking just two bites.


    Charles furrowed his brows as fatherly concern overwhelmed his heart. He stood there for a while, his


    hand holding the spoon held in the air.


    Then he turned at Shirley and said forcing a reassuring smile on his face, "Okay, if Shirley doesn''t want


    to eat, then we won''t eat anything. We can grab some snack when we''re hungry." Then, Charles


    lowered his head, frustrated. He didn''t want to force Shirley to do things she didn''t like. He needed to


    think of another n to feed her.


    Seeing the frustrated look on Charles'' face, Le gathered her courage, walked to Charles and said


    softly, trying tofort him, "Charles, are you doing okay? It''s great that Shirley has finallye back.


    We can fix other problems step by stepter. I am sure that Shirley will recover soon. She will be happy


    and healthy forever. So, please don''t worry. I believe that Shirley would not want to see you like this."


    Charles did not utter a single word in retaliation. Instead, he cast a cold nce at Le that was


    enough to send a chill down her spine.


    Instantly, Le''s heart started to beat against her chest. From the way Charles looked at her, she


    understood that he had found out something. But she dared not to ask anything. So she felt it to be


    safe to walk away quietly.


    Charles gave a cold shoulder to Le and Melissa. It was a signal for both of them to stop asking about


    Shirley and mind their own business.


    After putting Shirley to sleep, Charles drove to the hospital. He could not wait to share this exciting


    news with Sheryl.


    He walked into the ward and sat down on the chair next to Sheryl''s bed with a bright smile on his face.


    Sheryl just got the message from Le. And now that she saw the smile on Charles'' face, she was


    Even though Sheryl was aware of Shirley''s return, she pretended to know nothing. She wanted to hear


    the good news from Charles, so she raised her brows, asking him what made him so happy.


    It was rare that Charles would be so excited. He leaned forward and held Sheryl''s shoulders. He could


    hardly conceal his excitement as he said, "Sher, guess what! Shirley, our little baby, is home!" He was


    so excited that his voice trailed off as he finished.


    Sheryl already knew the news, but she showed surprise and excitement to Charles. She grabbed


    Charles'' hands and eximed, "Really? Shirley is home? What a great piece of news is that!" Sheryl''s


    eyes lit up.


    "Yes, it''s true. But she''s weak now. She needs more rest, so I didn''t bring her to the hospital," Charles


    exined to Sheryl in a low voice.


    Hearing Charles, Sheryl became worried about Shirley. She asked for more details.


    "Charles, how is Shirley doing? Have you sent a doctor to give her a check-up? Anything wrong with


    her?" Le just texted Sheryl that Shirley was back. She didn''t mention how Shirley was doing. Sheryl


    was worried that the kidnapper might hurt Shirley so she asked Charles numerous questions.


    Charles was as concerned about Shirley as Sheryl did and he had anticipated Sheryl''s questions. He


    answered them one by one, calming her down andforting her, "Don''t worry. Nothing is wrong with


    Shirley. The doctor has checked on her. She just needs more rest."


    Hearing Charles, Sheryl heaved a sigh of relief. As long as her little baby was doing okay. It was a


    greatfort for Sheryl.
