ENCHANTED LOVE - SEASON 7 EPISODE 51

“Nothing happened,” said Isla. Isla didn’t want to lie to Aron because he was the closest person to her. But she had promised Sheryl she wouldn’t tell anyone.

She just couldn’t break her words. She was also unsure whether she should tell Charles about it or not.

Isla tossed and turned in her bed almost the whole night trying to figure out the answer to that mind-boggling question.

In her heart, all she wished was to make her best friend happy. Charles was not able to protect Sheryl from the danger at that time. Sheryl had suffered a lot of torture. But he too had gone through enough hardships these past three years in return.

Isla knew Sheryl once loved Charles with all her heart. Now, she just forgot what happened in the past.

She struggled for a long time and decided to tell Charles. Whether Charles would try to regain Sheryl’s heart would be up to him.

The following morning, Isla got up early and thought of calling Charles but changed her mind. She realized that he could already be in his office. She decided to pay him a visit. She surmised that it was better to tell him face to face.
Charles was having a meeting when she arrived. She waited for him in his office. A little later, Charles adjourned the meeting and went back to his office. He found Isla seated on the couch waiting for him. “Good morning, Isla. What brought you here so early?” he asked in surprise.

“Morning Charles! Sorry to bother you this early but I have something really important to tell you.” Charles sat on the chair beside his office desk and prepared to work. Isla got up from the couch and approached him. “Hey, what’s up with you and Sheryl?” she inquired.

Charles paused for a while and heaved a deep sigh. Then he answered, “She seems to hate me. She is also allergic to get too close to me.”

“So, that’s it? You’re just gonna give up?” Isla got very worried as she probed. “How could that be possible?” Charles glanced at Isla and added, “You know very well I don’t give up easily.”

No matter how cold Sheryl treated him, she was the only one he loved. He loved her so much that he would never give up on her. “I will do everything to win her heart back,” he uttered decisively.

Then he gazed at Isla with extreme curiosity. “Did you see me just to find out my next move?”

“Of course not.” Isla finally recalled her main intention in seeing Charles. She arched a brow and started to divulge, “Sheryl called me last night.”

“Why did she call you?” Charles got amazed and asked Isla abruptly.

“It seemed that… she remembered something in the past.” Isla added, “She said she wanted to see Autumn’s photo. She wanted to verify whether she is Autumn or not.”

“Did you show her the photo?” Charles asked her nervously. He had waited for this moment for a long time. He couldn’t help but grasp the pen tightly in suspense.

“Yes, I did.” Isla added, “I just want to warn you that Sheryl must have known your identity by now. You should take an action as soon as possible.”

“I know.” Charles nodded his head in approval. The situation got much more complicated.

As Isla was about to leave, she said, “Oh, I nearly forgot something important.” Isla flashed a glare at Charles and added, “Sheryl was not feeling well. She was confined at Y City Hospital for treatment. Her ward number is 1615.”

“What… what happened to her?” Charles didn’t bother to wait for Isla’s reply nor asked for more. He rushed out of the office to see Sheryl. He had lost her once and that made his heart broken. So he wouldn’t let her be lost again this time. Her safety and health were the only things he cared about.

Sheryl was cleaning the bed when Charles arrived. Although Sheryl just stayed for one night in the ward, Anthony brought many things to make her feel more comfortable.

Sheryl struggled to pack them all up and blamed Anthony, “I told you I was fine but you didn’t believe me. You brought too many bedding stuff. How can I pack them all up? It’s exhausting!”

“Well Sweetie, I was just worried you might feel uncomfortable with the hospital bedding so I carried all of them.” Anthony added with a grin, “I’m sorry, Sher. Don’t blame me for wanting to make you really feel at home.”

“Fine,” Sheryl said with a smile. Upon seeing Anthony standing motionlessly in front of her, Sheryl queried, “Why are you still here? Didn’t you say you would take care of the hospital’s procedure to discharge me?”

“Sher…” Anthony called her name with concern. Then he asked with a wrinkled brow, “Are you sure you are alright? How about staying for one more night here in the hospital? We could leave once the doctors are a hundred percent sure you are alright.”

In his mind, Anthony was suddenly uneasy as he knew Sheryl’s memory might recover anytime. But he calmed down after considering what happened that one night.

It was Sheryl’s own will to take the medicine back then. So Anthony didn’t have to worry even if she did remember what happened before. It had nothing to do with him.

He was her only company for years. He surmised that what he should do that time was to give all his heart to her. That way she couldn’t bear to be separated from him.

“Anthony… I’m fine… really. Don’t worry about me, okay?” Sheryl said reassuringly. Although she had never known who she was even after the talk with Isla, Sheryl still pretended nothing had happened before Anthony came.

She smiled at Anthony and said, “Just go now and complete the discharge procedures. I will stay here to pack the things up so we could go home soon.” “Fine, then. Call me if you need any help okay?” Shirley was left home alone. She was a good girl. She understood that it wouldn’t take too much time to discharge her mother from the hospital. Anthony believed Shirley would be safer to stay at home and wait for their return.

Sheryl went on packing up as Anthony left. Just a bit later, the door of the ward opened. Sheryl thought that the person who entered the ward was Anthony.

Without looking, she exclaimed, “Have you finished the procedure? That’s too quick!”

The intruder didn’t answer. Instead, she felt something wrong when she realized that she was abruptly pressed into someone’s arms. That was before she could even see a face.

But, she immediately recognized it was Charles through his familiar smell.

She tried to push Charles away but he hugged her tightly. She couldn’t move in his arms and had to shout at him, “Charles what’s wrong? Let go of me!”

“No Sheryl, I won’t!” he rejected. Then he mumbled as he spoke, “Sheryl, I will never let you leave me.”

“Charles, what are you saying? Are you insane?” Sheryl asked with an arched brow. She wanted to push him away but restrained herself as she felt the restlessness and sadness from his voice.

“Yes, I am insane,” he said with a bitter smile. He had already gone insane when she went missing three years ago.

Charles must have been out of his mind and totally devastated if Sheryl didn’t show up.

“You gotta let me go, Charles!” she blurted as she struggled to free herself from his embrace. He hugged her tightly and long enough. Sheryl couldn’t bear it any more. She ordered, “Get your hands off me, please!”

But Charles continued to hug her even more tightly and decided not to give her any chance to get rid of him.
