Chapter 762 Confession


    Chris nced at Sheryl and said, "I have to discuss an important matter with Grandpa. I will just go in


    and talk to him. Give me a few minutes and I will be back soon."


    Chris then went inside looking for Gary. Sam and Sheryl were left standing in the courtyard. "Sheryl, I


    heard about Shirley''s condition. I am happy to see her better now," Sam said politely.


    Bad news travelled fast. A bitter expression descended on her face.


    Sam noticed her expression and exined, "I did not mean to offend you. I just wanted to tell you that


    you can ask for my help if needed."


    "Thank you, Sam. That is kind of you," Sheryl said in a mild tone.


    Sam was amazed. He could tell that Sheryl''s attitude was different towards him. He looked at her face


    and stammered, "You... You have..."


    "Yes, my memory hase back." Sheryl delivered this news to him with a smile. "How time flies!


    Sam, you are also a father now. Many congrattions!"


    "Your memory has reallye back, right? Oh, that is the best news I have heard in a long time." Sam


    hugged her immediately in rapture. "Sheryl, I have been praying for this miracle for a long time. Oh


    God! I am so happy," he said.


    Sam embraced her so tightly, like he was afraid that she would go missing once again if he released


    her. He asked Sheryl nervously, "Why didn''t you tell me earlier? Do you know I was so worried about


    you?"


    Sheryl said with augh, "I know Sam, I know."


    Then she patted Sam''s back and teased, "Release me now or Chris will be very jealous if she sees


    this."


    Sam''s sad look vanished. He released Sheryl immediately and nced at herughing loudly. He said,


    "Haha! You still remember that Chris was always jealous when she saw you with me back then."


    "Of course. That is one of my clearest memories," Sheryl teased with a smile.


    She felt rxed in Sam''spany and wasforted by the warmth he disyed to her.


    Soon, Chris came running out. Gary had told her that Sheryl had recovered her memory. She saw them


    talking andughing and she ran and hugged Sheryl immediately.


    With tears in her eyes, she dramatically asked Sheryl, "Why didn''t you tell me all this? I missed you so


    much. Oh, I am the happiest person alive today!"


    Sheryl looked at Chris with soft eyes and consoled, "Chris, stop crying for heaven''s sake. Shirley and


    Charlie will mock you if they see you crying like this. I knew Gary would tell you and I just wanted to


    see this reaction of yours. I missed you too."


    Chris stopped crying finally. Her mood lifted and she instantly began nning to set right and rebuild


    the rtionship between Sheryl and Charles. "Sheryl, now that your memory has recovered, will you


    and Shirley move back in with Charles?" she pleaded.


    She gripped Sheryl''s hand and added, "He is so lonely without you. The past three years have been a


    torture for my poor brother. You have toe back, so you..."


    "Chris!" Sam interrupted Chris when he saw Sheryl''s embarrassed expression. "Just let Sheryl make


    the decision for herself. We should not concern ourselves about it."


    "But..." Chris was confused. Sheryl and Charles were a couple. Chris thought it was very natural to


    expect Sheryl to live with her husband.


    "Chris." Sheryl heaved a deep sigh and said to Chris, "Just let me deal with this matter in the way your


    brother and I see fit. No offence but so much has happened and I cannot be Autumn again. "


    Chris was rendered speechless as she heard Sheryl''s words. "Fine," she said unhappily.


    Chris invited Sheryl for lunch. Sheryl had no appetite as she was still tense about Shirley. She politely


    refused and begged them to excuse her.


    Andy went to Anthony''s house and kept a lookout for him. His appointment with Abby was soon. He


    waited and kept an eye out for Anthony at the gate. He finally caught him as soon as he came there.


    Anthony was surprised when he saw Andy. "Andy! Hello! What are you doing here?"


    "I have been looking out for you for several days. Luckily, I have finally found you." Andy was


    exasperated and his tone was annoyed. "I want to let you know that I can''t keep your secret any more.


    Things have changed now. I hope you will forgive me for that."


    He nced at Anthony and said, "I had agreed to keep your secret safe because I knew you really


    loved Autumn. I thought that it was good for all concerned, particrly the two of you. I hoped you both


    would find happiness together. Things have changed now. So much has happened that nothing is in my


    control now."


    He shrugged and added, "I never expected you to try to rape her. Her whole family is shocked,


    especially Abby. So..."

    "I understand. I know things have changed now Andy." Anthony smiled bitterly and said, "I am truly


    sorry for my misconduct that night. I was drunk and not in my senses then."


    He said earnestly, "I threatened you three years ago to keep my secret safe. Yet, you are concerned


    about me and havee to warn me that my secret is going to be revealed to all soon. I really


    appreciate you for this."


    He sighed deeply and added, "I understand your predicament. Your wife is Sheryl''s aunt after all. If


    pushes to shove, you are free to reveal that secret. Anyway, its time hase and it will be known


    to everyone soon."


    Anthony was resigned to his fate now. He knew his game was up and his true face was about to be


    revealed sooner orter.


    In a heavy and weary voice, Andy said, "Okay Anthony. I have to leave now. I have finished saying


    what I came to say. Take care of yourself. I wish you all the best and may God protect you."


    Andy directly went home from Anthony''s house. Abby had been anxiously waiting for him and she


    gripped his hand tightly as soon as she saw him. She was a nervous wreck and asked, "When will you


    tell me all that you know? I have lost my peace of mind and am unable to sleep properly because of


    your secret. Andy, please be honest with me and tell me everything frankly. I think I will have a nervous


    breakdown soon as I am going mad with worry and tension."


    Andy patted her hand and said awkwardly, "Abby, take it easy. I have promised to tell you everything


    and I will do as I said."


    He gripped Abby''s hand lovingly and said, "Let''s go find Mom and Dad now. I want to reveal the whole


    story in their presence. They have a right to know."


    Abby felt somewhat reassured when she heard Andy''s words. When they reached her parents'' house


    they found Amy cooking and Arthur talking to a doctor on the phone. He was discussing various


    treatment options for Shirley.


    Abby was embarassed as she called them to the living room. "Mom and Dad, pleasee and sit


    here. Andy and I want to tell you something."


    "Abby, what has happened dear? Why are you looking so serious? You are looking very anxious too."


    Amy frowned as she sensed something deep was going to be discussed. She instantly assumed the


    worst seeing their upset faces.


    "Mom, it is about Sheryl. Andy and I are fine. It is not about us." Abby looked at her parents with


    shameful eyes and they were both surprised to hear their daughter''s words.


    Arthur and Amy exchanged a nce. Then Amy took charge. She nced at Andy and Abby and said,


    "Just sit down first. Have you both eaten? We can eat first and then talk."


    "No, thanks. We are fine and just want to talk to you both. Andy has something to say," Abby answered


    for her husband. As Andy''s wife she felt obliged to face the aftermath of his confession. Though she


    herself would be hearing about it for the first time and had no part to y in it, she somehow felt guilty.


    She would bear the consequences with Andy no matter what punishment her parents chose to give


    him.
