Chapter 650 The Truth Was Revealed
I reached out her hand in an attempt to touch Sheryl''s hand, but Sheryl dodged and answered
indifferently,"I just got a headache. You have nothing to worry about."
I felt relieved after she heard Sheryl''s answer. She then pulled a chair beside Sheryl''s bed and sat
down. "Did anything happen? Why were you so anxious to ask me toe here?" I asked while
gazing at Sheryl.
After she called I earlier, Sheryl had already made up her mind to dig the truth from I.
But now that I was in front of her, she hesitated to start asking.
Sheryl was clear that perhaps she had to pay the price if she really wanted to find out the truth. But she
was also worried that she might not bear what she was about to find out.
"What''s going on? What happened to you? Tell me," I asked anxiously. When Sheryl still didn''t say
anything, I added,"I am so confused now. Please, don''t just keep quiet. Say something."
Because of I''s aggressiveness, Sheryl finally spoke after a moment of hesitation. "It''s about Autumn.
She is your friend, right?"
"Yes, of course," I immediately answered. But when she realized Sheryl''s question, she was a little
taken aback. She didn''t expect Sheryl to ask about Autumn. However, since she already answered,
she decided to just spill it out. "She was my best friend."
"Well..." Sheryl paused for a while. Then she continued to ask,"Do you have a picture of her?"
"What?" Obviously, I was once again stunned by Sheryl''s question. She stared at Sheryl, feeling
something uncanny. She couldn''t really tell Sheryl''s purpose of bringing this matter up. So she
asked,"Why do you want to see her picture?"
"I... I just want to see how much resemnce do we have," replied Sheryl. A smile showed on Sheryl''s
face. She looked intently at I, trying to study her expressions.
I felt that Sheryl was acting so weird so she decided not to show Autumn''s picture without knowing
Sheryl''s true intentions first. She just sat quietly, lost in her thoughts. After a while, she heaved a sigh
and asked,"Sheryl, can you tell me what happened? Why did you suddenly be so interested in
Autumn''s picture?"
Sheryl also took a deep breath before she exined,"When I went back to Y City, I met you and
Charles. Since we''ve met, I could always hear Autumn''s name and she is always associated to me.
Even though I don''t know her, people would always mistaken me for her. I don''t want to be regarded as
someone else. My name is Sheryl and not Autumn. I am not her substitute."
I couldn''t help but frown after she heard Sheryl''s exnation.
''Sheryl and Autumn are actually the same people. How could Sheryl say that she is merely a
substitute?'' I thought in her mind.
After a short pause, Sheryl showed a bitter smile and continued,"I thought I could live peacefully if I
stayed away from all of you. But..." She stopped in mid-sentence. "But some weird scenes would just
suddenly sh in my mind recently. And all of them always involve Charles. I couldn''t tell if I was just
dreaming or everything was real. I even started to wonder if I am really Autumn. Perhaps I only forgot
everything because of amnesia." Sheryl gave I a perplexed look.
"Sheryl, what did you say just now? Did I hear you right?" I held Sheryl''s hands cheerfully. I was

very ecstatic when she heard Sheryl mention those things. "Can you already remember things from
your past?" I asked with great expectations. I was so pleased that her eyes flickered.
"No, I don''t," Sheryl replied while shaking her head slightly. She took a glimpse at I and
exined,"The scenes would just sh in my mind but would also vanish so soon. I''m not really sure if
they are parts of my past."
Sheryl held I''s hands tightly, looked into her eyes and pleaded again,"Please tell me, how much do
Autumn and I look like? Tell me the truth please, I."
"I..." I had no idea how to tell Sheryl. She was speechless for a moment. She wondered if it was
really the right time to tell Sheryl about the truth. She was so afraid that Sheryl would get hurt.
Finally, she said,"Sheryl, stop asking me this question." I loosened her grip then turned her back
from Sheryl.
"Why don''t you tell me the truth?" Sheryl condemned. She didn''t expect that I would refuse to be
honest with her. "If I am really Autumn, why are you so reluctant to tell me?" Sheryl asked with
conviction.
"Sheryl, please don''t misunderstand me. I just..." she mumbled. I was at a loss on how to exin to
her.
Slowly, Sheryl got off from her sickbed, faced I and held her hands again. This time, her voice was
begging. "I, I just want to know the truth. I have also tried to ask this question numerous times to
Anthony during the past years but he would just always tell me to forget it."
A bitter smile appeared in Sheryl''s face again. "Perhaps something bad happened in my past and
maybe you just don''t want me to feel sad or hurt. But, whatever happened, it is also a part of my life. I
really want to have my memory back to feelplete again.
All I want to know is, if I really have something to do with Autumn. Why can''t you just tell me about it?"
I fell into silence once again. She was contemting a lot. After quite a long while, she asked Sheryl
with a serious look on her face,"What do you want to know? You can pour out all your confusions and I
will give my best to rify them to you."
Sheryl''s jaw dropped upon hearing I''s words. Finally, she could have the chance to know the truth.
She blinked her eyes before she asked for Autumn''s picture again.
This time, I took out Autumn''s picture and showed it to Sheryl. Upon seeing the picture, Sheryl
finally confirmed that Autumn was her. She was Charles'' wife. The truth was now in front of her and
she was in awe.
''Since I am Autumn, why would I leave Charles?'' Sheryl asked herself. She still couldn''t recall what
exactly happened.
"Autumn, are you okay?" I looked worried when she saw that Sheryl was dazed. This time, I
dared to call Sheryl by her real name. Anyway, the truth was already revealed to her. "Please tell me if
you don''t feel well," she urged her.
"I am fine. Don''t worry," Sheryl replied absentmindedly. She slightly shook her head. Now, everything
made sense to her. So this was why Charles had always treated her so kindly no matter how cold she
was towards him. No wonder Charles would always be reluctant to leave her and Shirley by
themselves. It turned out, Shirley was his daughter. How ridiculous!
Moreover, Sheryl also used to wonder why Amy and the rest of the Zhao family were so kind to her.
She thought that she was just lucky to have met such a nice family. But now that the truth was
revealed, she could finally understand the real reason of Zhao family''s warm treatment on her. She was
a part of the Zhao family, and Amy was her grandmother. Sheryl was too dumbfounded to be able to
utter even a single word.
After a long while, Sheryl could only say,"I am tired now. I want to sleep." Sheryl felt so ufortable
at heart that she even forgot to care about I''s feelings. All she thought was that she needed time to
absorb everything and ept the truth.
Nevertheless, I could understand Sheryl''s feeling. She knew Sheryl must be upset after finding out
the truth. After taking a nce at her, she said in an empathetic tone,"Well then, have a good rest. I will
juste backter."
I heaved a sigh and was about to leave when Sheryl stopped her and said,"I, please don''t tell
anyone about this. For now, I don''t want anyone to know that I have already regained my memory. Can
I trust you with this?" She waited expectantly for I''s answer.
"Okay, I won''t tell anyone about this. Don''t worry. Your secret is safe with me," I assured. Though
she was hesitant, I was determined not to tell anyone about this news.
It was alreadyte at night when I got back home. However, Aron was still waiting for her in the living
room.
"I''m d that you''re finally back. How did it go? What did Sheryl talk about with you?" Aron asked
anxiously. He also wanted to know the real reason why Sheryl was eager to meet I today.
