Chapter 1655 Sequ
Melissa was d that she had finally shown Sheryl who really had the upper hand here.
Sheryl didn''t know what to say to Melissa or how to get her to stop talking. She bit her lips and shook
her head, ignoring Melissa.
She nced at Charles as she shook her head. Then she suddenly saw that Charles had moved.
It was the first time that Sheryl had seen Charles move since hisa. Sheryl was so excited that she
rushed to the bed. She raised her voice and said, "Charles, Charles, can you hear me?" Even though
Sheryl wasn''t sure if Charles was already awake, she just wanted to make sure if he would respond if
she called him by his name.
Melissa rushed over too.
Sheryl held Charles'' hands tightly. She just saw that his eyes were moving, and she was sure that
Charles was going to open his eyes soon.
Sheryl held her breath nervously as she watched Charles slowly open his eyes.
"Charles, you woke up!" Sheryl covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.

Melissa too was surprised. She pushed Sheryl away and asked Charles in excitement, "Charles, how
are you feeling?" She had raised her voice in excitement.
Melissa was holding Charles'' hands tightly as tears fell from her eyes.
Charles was still slow to respond since he had just woken up from aa. When he hadpletely
opened his eyes and finally realized what was going on around him, he lifted his finger and pointed at
Sheryl. He tried to open his mouth, but nothing came out.
Melissa couldn''t help but be pissed and upset that Charles wanted Sheryl.
Melissa had never epted Sheryl as her daughter-inw. She didn''t like Sheryl. She thought Le
was way better than Sheryl. Melissa thought Charles must have been cursed. Otherwise, how else
would he fall in love with a woman like Sheryl?
Charles looked at Sheryl lovingly, which made Sheryl squeal with joy. She covered her mouth with her
hands and rushed over to Charles—her eyes filled to the brim with tears.
Sheryl pushed Melissa away and leaned towards Charles. She grabbed Charles'' hand and looked at
him tearfully.
Charles looked at Sheryl and smiled at her. Then he pulled back the hand Melissa was holding so he
could hold Sheryl''s other hand. Finally, he opened his mouth and called Sheryl''s name.
Sheryl now understood why people would cry with joy.
She was so happy and grateful that Charles had woken up. She shouldn''t be crying since it was
something worth celebrating. But she just couldn''t control herself.
The scene was moving. To Melissa''s eyes, however, it was upsetting and annoying.
Melissa was lost in thought. She hated Sheryl so much that she clenched her fists in anger as she
looked at Sheryl--who had her back to her. She cursed Sheryl in her heart, "Sheryl, you stole my son
from me, and for that, I''ll never forgive you."
Charles would never have treated Melissa like this if it wasn''t for Sheryl. She had always tried to get in
between them ever since she married Charles.
The only person Charles could see now was Sheryl. He looked sincerely into her eyes and said, "Sher,
I''m so sorry. It''s all my fault. Could you please forgive me?"
"I''ve already forgiven you. Nothing else matters, what''s important is you woke up. I''m not mad at you."
Sheryl was grinning from ear to ear.
At this moment, Sheryl wanted to let Charles know that nothing was more important than him.
The whole time Charles was in aa, Sheryl had spent a lot of time thinking through things, and she
had finally figured it all out. She was also confident that Charles was on the same page as she was, or
he wouldn''t have apologized as soon as he woke up.
While Charles was in aa, he had a dream. In it, Sheryl was shutting him out, and it upset him. It
was then that Charles realized how important Sheryl was to him. He would rather give up his own life
and protect Sheryl than let her walk away from him.
Charles felt guilty as he thought of all that he had done to Sheryl in the past.
"Sher, nothing happened between me and Le, I swear. I don''t like her, and you''re the only one I love.
I don''t remember what happened that night. But I swear to God I didn''t mean to do that. Can you trust
me again and forgive me?" Charles exined to Sheryl. He didn''t want Sheryl to not know his side.
"I know, I know. Calm down. You just woke up. Just rx, okay?" Sheryl saw that Charles was
struggling for breath, so she told him to calm down as she couldn''t help but be concerned.
Sheryl would never let anything happen to Charles again.
Standing by the side just watching Sheryl and Charles, Melissa felt like she was an outsider. She was
Charles'' mother. She shouldn''t be ignored like this!
The more Melissa thought about it, the angrier she became, so she interrupted and said, "Charles, do
you feel any pain? I''ve asked the doctor to give you a check-up. He will be here very soon."
"Mom, I''m fine. You don''t need to call the doctor for me. I just want to spend more time with Sher,"
Charles said to Melissa indifferently.
"No way, you just woke up. I want to make sure there''s no sequ. Can''t this be put off? You have lots
more time to do this." Melissa looked at Charles with disappointment.
She made it seem like she was talking to Charles, but she was actually directing thements at
Sheryl. Why couldn''t Sheryl read between the lines? ''If Sheryl really loves Charles, she should let him
rest first. She shouldn''t be taking up his energy like this, '' Melissa thought to herself.
"Charles, Mom''s right. Why don''t you rest first? We have all the time in the world," Sheryl gently said to
Charles, hoping that he would listen to Melissa.
"Yeah, listen to Mom, Charles. Just rest first, okay?" Melissa pressed Charles.
When Charles looked at Sheryl, his eyes were filled with love and sincerity. But when he looked at
Melissa, he seemed annoyed.
Before Charles could answer Melissa, the doctor knocked on the door and walked in.
"Doctor, Charles has woken up!" Melissa said to the doctor in excitement.
The doctor seemed to have anticipated this already. He nodded at Melissa before he walked to Charles
to give him a check-up. Then he smiled at Melissa, "I can assure you, Mrs. Lu. Charles has already
fully recovered. He can be discharged soon as long as he rests first."
"Really? There''s no sequ, right?" Sheryl anxiously asked the doctor.
.After all, Charles had been in aa for so long; she couldn''t help but be worried about him.
"Do you want Charles to have sequ? Why would Charles have any sequ?" Melissa scolded
Sheryl as she was annoyed at her.
She red at Sheryl, who was being as annoying as she always was, in her opinion.
"Mom, that''s not what I mean." Even though Sheryl knew Melissa was doing this on purpose, she didn''t
want to fight in front of Charles, especially now that he had just woken up.
"Don''t worry. We will give Mr. Lu a full check-up this afternoon. By then, we will see whether he has any
sequ." The doctor checked Charles again. Then he reminded Melissa and Sheryl of all the things
that needed to be dealt with before leaving.
After the doctor left, Melissa wanted to me Sheryl, but Charles stopped her.
