Chapter 1604 There Was A Reason For It
Charles was the one who had an affair, yet he had acted like it was Sheryl''s fault and didn''t feel sorry
for it at all. I was already very disappointed and angry at Charles. When I heard what Melissa and
Le said, her anger grew even stronger toward them.
"Fine, I''ll go by myself if you won''te with me!" I stormed out.
Cassie knew that if she didn''t follow and stop I, the situation would worsen. So, she shot a nce at
Nick and urged him, "What are you doing? Go and stop I! I don''t know what she is going to do!
She''s just so mad!"
Nick had the same concern too. He quickly ran out after I, hoping that he could catch up with her
and stop her before it was toote.
He failed to stop her though. When Nick finally caught up with I, she had already gone up to Melissa.
Melissa, who was sitting on the bench, looked up at I walking towards her in anger. Melissa crossed
her arms, not taking I seriously.
"Don''t act like you have nothing to do with this! Charles is under the scalpel right now. I bet it''s either
because of you or her. I''m very impressed that you can sit there so calmly as if nothing at all has
happened," I sneered at Melissa and she pointed at Le.
The entire Lu family were bullying Sheryl, and Sheryl was all alone. I felt like she had to stand up
and support Sheryl. If she didn''t do so, I knew that she would go crazy.
Le immediately retorted after she heard I''s usations, "I, mind yournguage. What do you
mean that it''s because of me? I was talking to Melissa in the Dream Garden when the car ident
happened. Why don''t you admit that Sheryl is a slut? That''s why Charles got in a car ident!" Le
defended herself while raising her voice.
There was no way that Le would willingly take any me from I.
"I agree. I don''t think Le has anything to do with this, but you did remind me of one thing. The dogs
with the loudest bark are the ones that are most afraid. Is it because Sheryl is involved in this? Is that
why you''re denying it so much and ming us?" Melissa pondered I''s words, and she proposed a
reasonable issue to argue with I about.
I, however, had acted on impulse. She was now the one who didn''t know what to say.
"Sher has nothing to do with the ident! If she did, then she wouldn''t have called the ambnce and
brought Charles to the hospital in the first ce. Look at what you two did to her after she tried to help
Charles. You didn''t even thank her. Instead, you med her for all that happened!" Nick stepped in.
Melissa and Le echoed each other. No one would believe that they weren''t mother and daughter
after seeing how in sync they were.
"You, Melissa, Sher is your daughter-inw. The woman sitting next to you is just a mistress though.
You''re defending a mistress! Aren''t you ashamed of yourself?" Nick criticized Melissa in disappointment
with his brows furrowed.
If it wasn''t for the fact that Charles was his friend, Nick might have lost control and broken his
boundary.

He tried his best to remain calm though. Thest thing Nick wanted was to beat a woman. Who knew
what would happen if they kept acting irrationally like this though.
"You…"
"What? Nick is right! You''d better pray that nothing happens to Charles. If something does happen to
him, then you deserve it!" I snapped as she turned around and left the ER.
Nick followed I. He couldn''t stand to stay for even one more second with those women. He fumed
because of having to be in the same space as them.
Melissa silently sat on the bench after Nick and I had left.
Le rolled her eyes, understanding that she could do nothing to lighten the mood, so she remained
silent.
I''s and Nick''s words kept ringing in Melissa'' ears. There was one brief moment that she felt guilty,
but that feeling was gone very quickly. Who was Melissa? She would never admit that she had done
something wrong. She didn''t feel guilty at all, even when Charles'' father had died because of her.
"Le, ignore their nonsense. You''re my real daughter-inw, not Sheryl. You are the true wife of the
Shining Company''s CEO!" Melissa looked into Le''s eyes and assured her firmly. She not only wanted
to convince Le of that, but also wanted to make up her own mind.
"Uh-huh, I know, Aunt Melissa. I won''t listen to them. I know what I should do because protecting you
and Charles is my life-long mission!" Le sounded like she had forgotten what I had said as she
That made Melissa even more determined to keep Le around.
Sheryl was still asleep in the ward. She tossed and turned from time to time as her brows furrowed.
Seeing Sheryl like this worried and upset I greatly.
I asked Nick to leave first. What Sheryl needed right now were a quiet environment and fresh air. It
wasn''t necessary for everyone to be here; besides, Cassie had to make her rounds of the ward.
I''s anger had turned into worry and anxiety. She furrowed her brows and held Sheryl''s hand. She
couldn''t think of anything to say, so she only prayed that Sheryl could wake up soon.
Soon, Sheryl woke up. The first thing she asked was about Charles. She grabbed I''s hand anxiously,
her whole body shaking. She took a deep breath before she asked, "How''s Charles?"
I shook off Sheryl''s hand. Sheryl deserved better than Charles, so I was disappointed and a little
bit angry that Sheryl cared so much about him. He only knew how to cheat on her and hurt her all the
time.
I thought that Sheryl should forget about such a man and get rid of him as soon as possible instead
of stringing things along. She was also worried that if she overacted, it might make Sheryl more upset.
So, she managed topose herself. Shaking her head, I said to Sheryl, "How am I supposed to
know? You should be more concerned about yourself, okay? Forget about him, you idiot!"
"I''m fine. Just tell me how Charles is doing." Sheryl was so worried about Charles that she almost got
out of her bed, which rendered I speechless.
"Le and Melissa are staying with Charles, so nothing bad will happen to him. He got through the
operation alright. As for how he is doing, I really don''t know. Melissa won''t let anyone go into the ward!"
I told Sheryl.
She had gone to buy a bottle of water for Sheryl a few minutes ago, and she had walked past the ER.
She saw that Charles was being wheeled out from the operation room. I knew that Sheryl would
want to know Charles'' condition once she woke up, so she had stepped forward and was going to ask
the doctor.
However, Melissa had stepped in her way before she could.
"Stay away from my son! If something ever happens to Charles, you and Sheryl are the ones to
me!" Melissa had snapped at I.
"I tell you something. I don''t care whether he is alive or not. It''s really none of my business!" I had
walked away angrily.
She was sure that the operation went smoothly. Melissa wouldn''t have been in the mood to argue with
her otherwise.
I told Sheryl what had happened. When she was sure that Charles was doing okay Sheryl was less
uptight, and shey back down on the bed, trying to rx.
Sheryl''s face was still pale and it worried I. She couldn''t help but ask in concern, "How are you
doing, Sher? Do you feel any pain?"
"No, no, no, I''m totally fine!" Sheryl answered quickly, but her voice sounded pained and husky.
I thenined about Melissa to Sheryl.
"Sheryl, I wonder how you spent all the time having to deal with Melissa. She is nuts and has
absolutely nopassion. No wonder rk and Shirley don''t like their grandmother. I was confused
about it before. I mean, rk and Shirley are so considerate and friendly! I can''t think of anyone who
would ever pick a fight with them. Now I see why they don''t like her. There really is a reason for it!"
