Chapter 1978 n
Cassie had already discussed it with Nick, and she''d decided she wasn''t going to tell I about it,
fearing that something would happen.
"Don''t worry. I won''t tell I. But you can''t be sad about it anymore." Nick knew that anyone who went
through this wouldn''t be able to just easily forget it.
Cassie knew that Nick just wanted her to be happy. She forced a smile and said, "Do you really think
I''m going to do anything? Don''t worry. I won''t do anything stupid."
"What are you going to do?" Nick asked, partly in fear.
"Ha-ha..." Cassieughed when she saw how nervous Nick was.
"Don''t worry. I''m serious. I won''t do anything stupid. I''m not going to fight with Charles. He''s already left
Sher. Fighting him won''t change anything."
Cassie was a smart woman. She knew that she couldn''t do anything about Charles and Sheryl, so all
she could do was be angry.
"Well, you''re right. I was just very worried about you." Nick only rxed when Cassie assured him she
wasn''t going to do anything.
"Well, let''s go and find I. She must be worried about us." Now that Nick wasn''t nervous, Cassie
urged him to drive faster.
"Okay! I will!" Nick held Cassie''s hand in his one hand. He seemed to be rxed.
They talked andughed throughout the car ride. Cassie had forgotten all her troubles and was in a
good mood now.
Sheryl had invited them to dinner to show her appreciation for all their help. If it hadn''t been for them,
she wouldn''t have known what she would have done as she had gone through quite a difficult time.
Sheryl found an elegant restaurant that Nick and Cassie was sure to like.
She and I was already waiting in the restaurant. I looked around and sighed. "Why did you
choose this restaurant? We''re not a couple. All the other people here are couples!"
Iined, rolling her eyes.
Sheryl patted I''s arm as she said, "Fine. I''ll choose a better ce next time."
"It''s toote to transfer to a different restaurant now. We''re stuck here all night watching Nick and
Cassie''s PDA." I looked at Sheryl with an envious expression.
Sherylughed upon seeing this. She shook her head.
Soon after, Nick and Cassie arrived. As they approached the table, they held each other''s hands. I
rolled her eyes again and pointed at them as she said, "Look, the PDA''s already starting!"
"Ha-ha! You were the same way when you were still in love with Aron. You can''t me them," Sheryl
said to I in a low voice.
When Nick and Cassie had reached their table, I suddenly said, "Don''t say anything! Just order what
you like. Sheryl''s footing the bill." After which, she handed them the menu.
Sheryl was generous and easygoing. She didn''t say anything even when they ordered something
expensive.
They had a good time that night. Sheryl seemed to have forgotten about Charles. However, as soon as
Cassie and Nick left, she grew silent.
I drove Sheryl home. During the car ride, I remained silent too. When they arrived home, I
asked, "How long can you wait for Charles?"
"What?" All of a sudden, Sheryl''s face turned red, and she kept avoiding I''s gaze.
"Even if you don''t say anything to us, I still know that you''re just pretending. I know you can''t forget
about him." I looked at Sheryl with a serious expression.
Sheryl knew that I was just worried about her. She forced a smile as she held I''s hand. "I, I
know you''re worried about me, but I have two children. They''re my priority."
I didn''t know what to make of this.
"All right. I believe you, but don''t lie to me. Otherwise, you know I''m willing to do anything even if that
means fighting Charles." After their conversation, I drove back home.
Sheryl finally rxed when I had finally driven away. She went upstairs to check on the children and
found that they were already asleep. She tearfully said, "I''m so sorry." She then kissed each of her kid''s
foreheads before heading back to her own bedroom.
That night, Sheryl''s mind was racing, so she wasn''t able to get enough sleep.
Of course, Melissa had a fitful sleep too.
In Dream Garden
That night, the Dream Garden was very quiet. Charles didn''te back. Only Nancy and Melissa were
there.
Melissa told Nancy she could rest since there was nothing left to do anymore. Meanwhile, she stayed
out on the balcony, drinking a bottle of wine. Soon, she felt sleepy.
However, she didn''t fall sleep. She felt as if she was seeing a white mist in front of her.
When she walked through the mist, she saw a group of men following a boy.
She didn''t care at first until she saw the boy''s face.
It was her grandson, rk. She hadn''t seen him in so long.
"Who are you? Let rk go! Please..." Melissa shouted as she started to run, trying to catch up with
them.
But it seemed as if they couldn''t hear her.
Melissa was worried. She tried to run faster, but she still couldn''t keep up with them.
She could feel that the man was dangerous. He was going to kill rk. She shook her head and
started to shout, "No, no! Please don''t!"
After she''d screamed, she woke up and realized it was just a dream.
She was finally able to rx. rk was safe. It was just a dream.
Melissa realized how much she really missed her grandchildren.
Then she went back to sleep.
At the hospital
Charles had stayed at the hospital yesterday. It wasn''t because he wanted to but rather because Vicky
had drugged him.
Vicky had forced Charles to have dinner with her. Apparently, she had drugged Charles''s dinner, which
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
made him fall fast asleep as soon as he finished eating.
She was just about to make a move on Charles when David entered the room.
He couldn''t wake Charles up, so he decided to stay. He wasn''t suspicious of Vicky or anything because
he knew how tired Charles could be.
David knew what Charles was probably thinking, so he refused to leave him alone.
"David, it''s gettingte. You can go home now. I can take care of Charles." Vicky just wanted David to
leave. As long as David was there, she couldn''t continue with her n.
