    "Trust me; I have neither interest nor intention to threaten you. Now can you just cut short to why you

    have called me?" Sheryl asked impatiently. She was resisting the urge to press the call end icon.


    After Melissa calmed down, she sneeredcently. "Nothing important. I just want to ask you when


    you''re going to divorce Charles. Now that you are aware of Charles and Le having an intimate


    rtionship, it is needless to say that she will be his wife in the future. I hope you need no more


    clues to understand that you have been abandoned! If you have the slightest self-esteem, you should


    let go of this marriage. Otherwise, I''ll confront you in yourpany. It will only bring shame to you.


    Think it over!" Melissa tried to give all possible reasons for Sheryl to give up.


    ''Charles, are you so desperate to get a divorce?


    As soon as you reached Dream Garden, you asked Melissa to call me, right?'' Sheryl thought


    desperately.


    She was lost in thought for a while. As she came back from her reverie, she snorted, "What shame? I


    should be shameful for being cheated on by my husband?"


    "Sheryl, shut up! All I want to say is that you should divorce Charles as soon as possible!" Melissa


    snapped angrily. Sheryl''s cool attitude irked Melissa. She felt frustrated that even after using such


    sardonic words, she could not intimidate her.


    Melissa also knew that Sheryl was a proud woman. Now that Le hade between her and Charles,


    she wasn''t likely toe round. But Melissa wanted their marriage to end as soon as possible.


    "Copy that. I have to go now if you are done," Sheryl said curtly. She hung up the phone before Melissa


    could say anything else.


    After the conversation was over, Le tried to suppress her anger. "Aunt Melissa, why did you have to


    call Sheryl today?" she asked.


    She didn''t expect Melissa to cause such trouble for her in her absence. She had just left Melissa to go


    to the toilet. And by the time she came out, she found her talking to Sheryl.


    Le was petrified to see that. Sheryl had warned her earlier that if she dared to provoke her, she


    wouldn''t ever let go of Charles.


    "All I wanted was to humiliate her!" Melissa replied, looking a little miffed. She had called to mock


    Sheryl. However, she failed. What was worse, she was provoked by Sheryl instead.


    Le couldn''t help but be angry at Melissa. ''Why do you always make things worse?'' she thought.


    "Le, just forget about Sheryl. There is something more important for you to do now. You should go to


    the hospital and get my medical reports. Charles is waiting for them!" Melissa said as she grabbed


    Le''s arm.


    Le suddenly remembered the medical reports. She put aside Melissa''s foolishness immediately.


    How could she forget? This was the core part of their n on which their future sess depended.


    "Right! Aunt Melissa, just wait. I''m going to get it right now," Le answered immediately. After this, she


    took her leave hastily.


    Almost one hourter, Le returned with the reports.


    As soon as she arrived, she rushed to Charles, who was working in the study. As she stood near


    Charles'' table, she was almost out of breath.


    "Did I allow you toe in?" Charles asked in a sullen voice, his eyebrows knitted tightly.


    Le was panting, unable to utter a word, but she didn''t leave. After a while, she recovered a little and


    said, "Charles, take a look at Aunt Melissa''s medical reports."


    She came to stand next to Charles and put the medical reports on the table.


    As soon as she mentioned Melissa''s medical reports, Charles'' expression changed. All of a sudden, he


    became alert and nervous at the same time. He stopped what he was doing immediately and started


    reading the reports.


    As he read, Le burst into an uncontroble sob.


    She looked so broken and devastated, as if her own mother had suffered some misfortune.


    Early stage of liver cancer!


    Charles stared at the report summary in disbelief. His mood plummeted at once.


    How could it be? Charles'' heart began to sink.


    Melissa was put behind bars for so many years. After so many difficulties, they were finally able to get


    reunited. However, before she could fully enjoy her life as a free civilian, she was diagnosed with


    cancer!


    "Stop crying now!" Charles shouted as he red at Le. He was already dumbfounded by the


    grievous news. On top of that, Le''s crying made him even more fretful.


    Le quietened down immediately. Even though she stopped crying aloud, she still sobbed in a low


    voice. At the same time, she peeped at Charles to gauge his reaction.


    After some time when Charles recovered, he said, "Don''t tell my mom about it. Do you understand?"


    Charles knew that if Melissa became aware of her disease, she would be desperate and give up


    all hope, which would only make things worse.


    "Got it, Charles. I promise I won''t tell Aunt Melissa about her disease. I know, it would be too hard for


    her to ept it. I''ll keep it a secret!" Le answered in a low voice and began to cry again.


    Her incessant crying gave Charles a headache.


    However, deep in his heart, he couldn''t help but feel touched by Le''s concern toward Melissa.


    Somehow he raised his hand tofort Le, but before it could touch Le''s back, he retreated.


    He was also extremely grieved because of Melissa''s cancer. Hence he didn''t know how to make Le


    feel better.


    "Could you stay with my mom and take care of her in the following days? After I settle the urgent tasks


    at thepany, I''ll stay with her. If you can''t handle it alone, I''ll send a few people to help you," Charles


    requested her in a soft voice.


    "No, I wouldn''t need any help for this," Le blurted out with great joy. As soon as she realized what


    she just said, she felt like pping herself.


    ''What''s wrong with me? How could I turn down Charles'' favor? After so much of effort, he has finally


    started to change his attitude toward me. I should have epted his offer!'' Le repented to herself.


    "Okay. Thank you for your help." Charles nodded. He took one nce at Le and left.


    Le stood in the room alone, feeling overwhelmingly regretful for her words.


    "Mom, why did you get up from bed?" Charles blurted out nervously as soon as he saw Melissa


    struggle to get up. He rushed to her bed and held her hand immediately.


    Melissa seemed startled by Charles'' abrupt presence. She asked, "Charles? Why are you here? You


    look bad. What happened? Do you feel unwell?"


    Charles felt shattered in his heart as he heard Melissa''s words, dripping with motherly concern.


    Ever since his mother came back to Dream Garden, he had kept distance from her. Even though she


    was well-off, he didn''t give her the love and care that she deserved. He felt guilty. Melissa had cancer


    now, which she wasn''t even aware of. But she never failed to care for him.


    Charles lowered his head to avoid meeting eyes with Melissa, in case she read the concern in them.


    Melissa looked at Charles with confusion in her eyes. All of a sudden, her eyes widened as if she had


    just remembered something. She asked urgently, "Did Le get my medical reports? What did the


    doctor say?"


    Charles could feel his knees tremble as Melissa threw the question at him abruptly.


    He knew that he had to hide the truth from her or else she would be devastated.


    Even though he was nervous and sad, Charles forced a smile. He said, "Mom, don''t worry. The reports


    say you just have ordinary rheumatism."


    "Oh! Then why do I feel sore and painful all over?" Melissa stared at Charles suspiciously. Her endless


    questions made him lose his mind.


    After remaining quiet for a while, Charles said calmly, "You feel fatigued and painful because your


    rheumatism is more severe than before. Don''t worry, Mom. It''s not a big deal. The only thing you need


    to do now is listen to the doctor''s instructions. You will feel better very soon, okay?"


    Charles was so considerate and gentle that Melissa couldn''t help but feel touched. Tears started to


    gather in her eyes and she said, "Okay. Charles, you are a very loving and dutiful son. With your love


    and care, I''m sure I''ll recover soon!"


    She even patted the back of Charles'' hands. They had never been so intimate before.


    In the past, Melissa felt distanced from her son because of Sheryl. Since Sheryl had now left this


    house, it was the perfect opportunity for Melissa to make up with her son. Meanwhile, she would


    tarnish Sheryl''s image further.


    Charles smiled reassuringly as he nced at Melissa. He didn''t mention the medical reports again.


    As they reached the living room, Le and Nancy came out of the kitchen.
