The Substitute Bride

"Mother, Sher is just worried about me. Why would she curse me?" As soon as Charles stopped, he saw that Melissa was still planning on complaining, so he interrupted her by saying, "Mother, I'm hungry." Charles slightly furrowed his brows together and looked at Melissa gently.

Melissa wasn't stupid so she knew what Charles was doing. He wanted her to stop talking. Since she didn't want to get in a fight with him, she just decided to leave.

"All right, I'm leaving, and I'll tell Nancy to cook something good for you." After that, Melissa turned and left.

Before leaving, Melissa slammed the door behind her on purpose. Sheryl couldn't help but glance at the door.

"Sher, come here." Charles waved his hand as if to tell Sheryl to come nearer.

Charles knew that Melissa was jealous and that she had done that on purpose. He had woken up now, and Sheryl was with him, so he had nothing to complain about.

"What's up? Is there something wrong with you?" Sheryl thought that Charles had asked her to come closer because he wasn't feeling well, so she looked at him nervously.

Charles shook his head and held Sheryl's hand. "No. I haven't seen you for such a long time, so I want to look at you."

Upon hearing this, Sheryl smiled bashfully. "Aren't you afraid that you'll get tired of me one day?"

"No, I will never get tired of you."

They looked at each other lovingly.

In another ward of the hospital, Cassie had just woken up. She saw the unusual look on Nick's face and then asked, "Did the police catch Leila?"

Nick raised his head to look at Cassie and shook his head.

"Cassie, don't worry. I'm going to figure this out. I won't let Leila get away with this." Nick blamed himself for his incompetence. He clenched his fists and swore to himself that he would make Leila pay.

Cassie gripped Nick's hand and said to him with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Karma has its way of getting back at people. It'll catch up with Leila soon enough."

It wasn't that Cassie was just comforting herself. She really believed that evil would never win over good. For

t is that bitch, Sheryl. For the life of me, I can't understand it! I gave birth to him! Me! I'm his mother! Why doesn't he care about me? He cares more about that, Sheryl!" As Melissa spoke, she only got angrier and more frustrated, so that tears started to build up in her eyes.

"Aunt Melissa, don't get so emotional. What on earth happened? Did Sheryl try to ruin your relationship with Charles again?" Leila had been looking forward to Charles waking up, because only then could she try to get closer to him again. However, she also knew that she couldn't ignore the one person standing in her way, Sheryl.

"Of course, Sheryl has no respect for me. As long as she doesn't get in the way of my relationship with Charles, I don't mind. She doesn't have class anyway."

Melissa stopped and looked at Leila. When Leila didn't say anything, Melissa continued, "When Charles woke up, he didn't even look at me. He only had eyes for Sheryl..."

Melissa said desperately and then cried.

Leila was also irked upon hearing this. With a sharp look in her eyes, she thought, 'What is it with that Sheryl? Why is Charles so obsessed with her?'

"Aunt Melissa, don't get mad anymore. Stop crying. It'll be bad for your health if you keep crying. You have to take care of yourself. If Sheryl finds out that you're upset, then she'll know that she won!" Leila did her best to comfort Melissa.
