Chapter 1359 Things Went Smoothly


    Then Ricky received a phone call from Nancy. He didn''t dare dy for a second and rushed to Dream


    Garden immediately.


    "Doctor, pleasee up to see what has happened to Mrs. Lu. She''s a high fever, and now she''s in a


    to Sheryl''s bedroom immediately.


    When Le and Melissa heard what Nancy said, they smiled at each other with a secret understanding.


    Then they rushed into Sheryl''s bedroom together. However, they didn''t care about how Sheryl was.


    Instead, they took pleasure in Sheryl''s misfortune.


    After a careful diagnosis, Ricky exined that Sheryl''s illness had worsened due to a virus caused by


    the flu, and inbination with excessive stress, she had fallen into aa. He thought that her


    symptoms were serious enough and made the prompt decision to give her an intravenous injection.


    The doctor didn''t expect that Sheryl would take a turn for the worse and be so ill. Before he came


    to Dream Garden, he assumed that she just had amon cold. However, when Charles sounded so


    urgent over the phone, he brought drugs, injection medicines, and apparatus with him. It turned out that


    those all helped.


    "Nancy, didn''t she have a good rest these days because of worry?"


    "No, she didn''t. Sher has been so stressed these days. She couldn''t eat or sleep. I tried to persuade


    her, but I failed," Nancy replied as she wiped her tears away.


    Nancy''s words had reminded the doctor about thetest news of the Lu family''s kidnapped daughter,


    and he immediately understood why Sheryl had be so ill.


    "It doesn''t help. Her illness is very serious. Mrs. Lu needs plenty of rest, and she must cooperate with


    me if she wants to recover soon. You need to figure out more ways to persuade her."


    Nancy kept nodding her head.


    When the cold liquid medicine entered intravenously into Sheryl''s body, she woke up immediately.


    When she opened her eyes, she found her room was full of people. When she looked around


    unconsciously, she felt disappointed when she didn''t see Charles there.


    Sheryl felt her stomach twist. She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She felt foolish for having had


    any expectation of Charles. Nancy surely must have told Charles that she had a fever. However, he


    hadn''t shown up, and it was evident to Sheryl how he felt.


    Although she knew it clearly, she couldn''t help but feel overwhelmingly disappointed and sad.


    Her eyes were empty as if she had lost her hope.


    When Le and Melissa saw Sheryl lying in bed weak, they felt delighted, especially Le. She


    believed that fate was on her side. Otherwise, how else could everything be going so smoothly beyond


    her expectations?


    She could hardly hide the happiness in her eyes. If it weren''t inappropriate, she would have jumped for


    joy.


    "Sheryl, you must take better care of yourself. You gave us all a scare. I feel so sorry for you, but I


    believe that you will recover soon," Le said as she pretended to care about Sheryl. She wasn''t a


    good actress, because anyone could see through her facade and hear no sincerity in her words.


    Le thrived on seeing how ill Sheryl looked. She wished that it would make Charles fed up with her.


    Sheryl red at Le viciously and said, "Get out!" She didn''t want to say any more to Le. Sheryl


    then closed her eyes, so she didn''t have to see this spiteful woman.


    "Sheryl, couldn''t you be a little more polite? Le is so kind as to visit you. Why are you so rude? Didn''t


    your mother teach you any manners?" Melissa took the opportunity to twist the situation around and


    have a jab at her to make Sheryl look bad. She intentionally said that because she knew that it would


    upset Sheryl.


    Everybody was aware that Sheryl had an estranged rtionship with her mother. That was the reason


    why Melissa chose to mention her, especially when Sheryl was in such a fragile and vulnerable state.


    "Mrs. Lu, please. Sher is very ill. Please show her some mercy, or shall I call Mr. Lu right now?" Nancy


    stared at Melissa. She had no other choice but to threaten to call Charles. Otherwise, she didn''t know


    what Melissa would do next.


    When Le saw Sheryl close her eyes to ignore her intentionally, she didn''t feel angry. She took her


    phone and dialed Charles'' number. She wanted to provoke Sheryl and see how she would react. ''Let''s


    see if she can act so indifferent and calm as she is now?'' She sneered and looked crafty as if she was


    brewing some evil n.


    "Hello, Charles!" Le intentionally spoke loudly in the room. She wanted to make sure that everybody


    heard that she was speaking with Charles.


    "It''s me. What can I help you with?" said Charles trying hard to suppress his anger while he thought


    about his next move.


    "Do you know that Sheryl is suffering from a fever? It''s very serious, and I can''t bear to see her look so


    weak! Charles, are youing back to see her? Rest assured that even if you can''te back, I''ll


    take good care of her for you."


    As Le talked on the phone, she spied on Sheryl''s expression. She saw Sheryl''s eyelids slightly


    twitching. When she looked further down, she noticed that Sheryl seized the bed sheet with the other


    hand that was free from the intravenous injection. Without a doubt, Sheryl was anxious. Le snickered


    that Sheryl was suffering like this.


    Charles felt disgusted by Le''s false show of concern and callousness. The anger and sickness that


    he felt toward her made him clench his hand into a tight fist with rage and crumple the paper on the


    desk as if it were Le herself.


    After a few seconds, Charlesposed himself and appeared deep and quiet as usual.


    "Is it? It''s Sheryl''s fault. She didn''t take care of her health. I tried to persuade her, but she was too


    stubborn to listen. Shirley is lost, and it''s already a mess. She didn''t help by letting herself go and even


    made matters worse. I don''t have the time for her. I don''t care, and she can do whatever she wants! It''s


    none of my business!" Charles pretended to sound angry.


    Sheryl could hear some of what Charles was saying through the phone. Even the little bit that she did


    hear was unbearable. It was like someone had twisted a knife into her heart.

    Out of the corner of her eye, Le saw Sheryl''s face be even more ashen and she turn her head


    to the other side in anger. Le felt content, and her heart was filled with great satisfaction.


    "Charles, don''t me Sheryl. It''s not all her fault. After all, she feels sad that Shirley is missing. Don''t


    worry though. I''ll make sure she gets plenty of rest to regain her health." Le spoke while strutting


    around like a proud peacock, showing a goodwill gesture to Charles using all her effort.


    Charles sneered because Le''s thoughts had been exposed in front of him. There might be more.


    However, he knew that everything woulde out soon.


    "You''re better than Sheryl. Let''s talk about something else." Charles''pliment gave Le a wide


    smile. She looked extremely pleased.


    Charles paused for a moment and continued, "But I''m so worried about Shirley. If something bad


    happened to her, I don''t think I would be able to take it. My only worry is to find Shirley." The sadness in


    Charles'' tone made Le feel against her conscience.
