ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 12 Episode 47

Sheryl actually understood that the public would definitely misunderstand and even defame her after she was forced to confess to the porn-photos scandal. But at this point, others’ comments and opinions were not important to her at all. The most important thing was that she needed to visit Nancy.

If Nancy had truly gotten severely hurt due to the kidnapping, it would be very bad news.

“Is the hospital a place for you to gossip?” Charles spoke sharply to the people whispering around them. He couldn’t bear the thought that someone wanted to slander Sheryl.

Maybe it was Charles’s stern tone that scared the gossipers away. Those curious hospital staff immediately returned to focus on their job upon hearing Charles’ words.

The patients who were bystanders also walked back to their wards after realizing there was nothing to expect.

“Excuse me, was a patient named Nancy sent here this afternoon? Which ward is she in now?” Charles asked a nurse in a calm voice.

“Nancy? Is she the patient who is still unconscious?” Slightly surprised that the cold president would speak to her, the young nurse checked her files. “Yes,”

Charles nodded. “And which room is she in?”

“Room 302, the one on the corner to your right,” the nurse replied after checking the patient record. She felt very shy around Charles and could feel herself blushing uncontrollably.

The man standing in front of her was that famous president who was envied by many people. And he was talking to her of all people!

His wife had cheated on him and confessed to her affair at the live press conference. And now he was here talking to her. How lucky she was! Maybe if she performed well, he would notice her and maybe even fall in love with her.

If this happened, it would no doubt be the peak of her life.

“Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? They’ve already left,” another nurse said, bringing her back to reality.

Shaking her head quickly to get her senses back, the nurse looked around hoping to spot Charles. To her surprise, she found that he was holding his wife’s hand as they walked together toward the ward.

Merely judging from their backs, one could tell how much this cold president loved his wife.

The scene witnessed by these young nurses made all of them envy Sheryl.

But all they could do was to envy. It was clear they had no chance.

While the nurses were still green with envy, Sheryl and Charles had already arrived at the ward, which was equipped with three beds. Nancy lay in the bed sandwiched between the other two, which were also occupied by patients.

The ward was very small. Nancy’s son was already sitting with her and now, with Charles and Sheryl entering the ward, it was becoming quite packed. There was so little room that it would be difficult for anyone else to fit.

Seeing the family arrive, the man sitting beside Nancy’s bed suddenly stood up and opened his mouth in an attempt to say something. But he finally gave up as he wasn’t sure how to express his feelings. On the one hand, he felt unhappy about how they chose to ignore Nancy’s injury. On the other hand, his family had to depend on Charles and Sheryl in order to survive.

He felt so helpless.

“How is Nancy now?” Sheryl broke the awkward silence and asked about Nancy’s condition. “Mom has been unconscious all this time. The doctor has given her an injection, but it still hasn’t worked. So we’ve just been trying to wait patiently,” the man explained. After Brent’s death, Nancy treated her nephew like her own son, and he began to call her “Mom” since then.
The man explained to Sheryl and Charles what the doctor had told him.

“Nancy, please wake up. It’s Clark. Shirley and I are both safe now. We’re right here with you,” Clark tried to waken Nancy. Seeing Nancy in the bed surrounded by tubes and various pieces of medical equipment, Clark felt heart-broken. He couldn’t hold back the tears from streaming down his cheeks.

It was Nancy who took care of the two kids. So they undoubtedly felt a deep connection to Nancy.

Of course Nancy didn’t reply to Clark’s words. “Mr. Taylor, now that you’re here, I have something to talk to you,” Nancy’s nephew finally asked as he rubbed his hands with hesitation. “Go ahead,” Charles prompted calmly, failing to make eye contact with the young man.

Charles had already assumed what he wanted to talk to him about.

After all Nancy got injured and went into a coma while working in his house. Her nephew must want to ask for some sort of compensation.

Charles also knew this was a reasonable response, so he was willing to pay the money. But he just didn’t know how much Nancy’s nephew would ask for. Would he demand an outrageous price?

No matter how Nancy got injured or what kind of person her nephew was, Charles learned from his years of business experience that he must stay calm. Only when he was calm could he think about this matter clearly and fairly.

“Mr. Taylor, as you know, we are just common people. We don’t have much money to pay the medical bills for Mom…” Nancy’s nephew began to speak, continuing to rub his hands nervously. His voice eventually trailed off as he became less emboldened.

But Charles just smiled at him gently. He could see now the kind of person the young man was. In a faint voice, Charles asked, “You are Nancy’s son?”

“No. Actually, I’m her nephew. But after Brent’s death, Nancy has treated me as her own son, and I began to call her ‘Mom,'” the young man explained. “My name is Ben Hobbes.”

“Don’t worry. I will pay all the medical bills for Nancy. Moreover, we will pay you some compensation. Although the compensation won’t be much, it is a token of my regard. Also, this ward is in unfit condition. I will call up the director of the hospital in a bit and ask him to arrange a better ward for Nancy,” Charles promised faintly.

This was wonderful news to Ben. After all, Nancy was in coma and no one knew when she would wake up. He didn’t know how much money he had to pay for Nancy’s medical treatment. To be honest, his family was not rich and wouldn’t come close to being able to afford the pricey medical bills. His house had been bought with a bank loan, so he had to pay the monthly mortgage. And he had to pay his kid’s tuition fees…

But this was life and life was often difficult. There was nothing that people like him could really do about it.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Taylor. Thank you.” Ben Hobbes expressed his gratitude profusely and heaved a deep sigh of relief. As long as Charles was willing to pay the medical bills, he could keep his head above water.

“You’re welcome, Ben. It is we who should apologize to you. I am so sorry that Nancy got injured while working at Dream Garden,” Charles responded apologetically.

“”No, no, no. Mr. Taylor, you don’t need to apologize to me. As long as you are willing to pay…” His voice trailed off. He was about to say that as long as Charles was willing to pay the bills, he had already done him a huge favor. But before the words escaped his mouth, he hesitated, feeling slightly ashamed to admit this.

Charles naturally knew what he was going to say and also understood his embarrassment. But he pretended not to know and instead took his phone out to call the director of the hospital.
