ENCHANTED LOVE - Season 8 Episode 27

“Mr. Taylor, what happened? Is everything all right?” asked David. The sound from the office had drawn David’s attention. He rushed in to make sure Charles was alright.

After Archer made sure that Sheryl was okay, he was ready to leave with Judith. However, Charles stopped him.

“David, call the police right now,” Charles said in a cold voice. He did not even trouble himself to raise his head and look at Archer.

The moment Sheryl had come back into his life, he had promised himself that from then on he would protect her forever. He would never let her suffer the slightest harm. Whoever dare to hurt her would pay the price. He would show them no mercy.

“Charles, don’t go too far over this,” said Archer angrily. When he heard Charles tell David to call the police, he turned his head suddenly and sharply. He spoke to Charles, “Isn’t it enough that you make my daughter suffer like this? What else do you want to do with her?”

Charles raised his head and looked at him indifferently. He said, “Those who hurt Sheryl must pay the price. In fact, I wasn’t going to hold you accountable for what happened. But now…”

He smiled coldly, and didn’t finish what he was going to say next.

Judith couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. She had loved him for so long, but this man didn’t even want to look at her. What a loser in love she was!

After seeing how protective he was towards Sheryl, she finally realized that Charles had just been stringing her along from the beginning. He didn’t like her at all!

She could see that he didn’t show affection for anyone except Sheryl. His love for his sweetheart could be easily seen from his every act and move, even from his eyes. The more she realized that he didn’t love her, the more miserable she felt.

Sheryl interceded with Charles for Judith, but Judith was not grateful for that. She sneered, “Don’t pretend to be forgiving and generous. I don’t need your sympathy.”

All right,’ thought Sheryl. She shut her mouth and watched Judith being taken away by the police.

After Judith was taken away, Charles gently raised Sheryl’s face and examined it carefully. He knitted his brows tightly and was really angry that Judith had done such harm to her. Sheryl’s neck was covered with bruises. He was very worried and asked, “Does it hurt? Would you like to go and see a doctor?”

“This is nothing. Don’t worry about this,” said Sheryl. She waved her hands and calmly assured him, “It’s Okay. I am fine.” She remembered that Archer had mentioned many times about his association with Anthony, so asked Charles, “What does he have to do with Anthony?”

“Nothing,” said Charles indifferently. He didn’t want to talk about this with her. He didn’t want to worry her about this. “You will not understand. You don’t know enough about what’s going on in the business world.”

“Charles…” She frowned at him and asked, “Even though I don’t understand much about doing business, I know what ‘ganging up on you’ and ‘scheming against you’ mean. Has Anthony done something wrong?”

“It’s not a big deal,” Charles stated in an understatement. He comforted her, “Anyway, it’s all over. Don’t think too much about it.”

Charles had Alice pour a glass of juice for Sheryl. Alice came in and reminded Charles, “Mr. Taylor, there are some guests waiting for you in the conference room.”

“OK, I will see them,” said Charles. He placed the glass on the desk in front of Sheryl and said, “It’s almost time for dinner. Can you wait here for me for a few minutes? Then we can have dinner together.”

After making sure that Sheryl was alright, he went out to meet the guests.

Out of sheer boredom, Sheryl stared at the bookshelf in Charles’ office. Then she decided to see if there were some interesting books that she could read to kill some time.

She looked around and found that they were all books she was not interested in. She was about to go out to chat with Alice when she suddenly glanced at a photo frame on the bookshelf.

Sheryl had always doubted if she was Autumn or not. Even though she had some memory flashes occassionally, she was not sure. When she saw this photo, she finally knew that there was a wonderful similarity between the two of them.

They looked exactly the same. It was like looking at herself when she was staring at the woman in the photo.

She opened the door of the bookshelf and took out the photo frame. Since Charlie had broken the frame, Charles had put it inside the bookshelf.

Sheryl held the photo frame and carefully scrutinized Autumn’s picture. In the photo, Autumn was leaning against Charles’ shoulder and smiling happily. It seemed like she was the happiest woman in the world at that moment.

Suddenly, she was overcome by a terrible headache. Some fragments of past memories rushed to her. She was overwhelmed by the pain. At the same time Alice came in to deliver some files to Charles’ office. She saw Sheryl crouching in front of the bookshelf with her head in her arms. Her face turned ghostly pale with fright. She threw the files down and ran to Sheryl. “Miss Courtenay, what’s wrong with you? Are you OK?” she asked anxiously.

Then she noticed that Sheryl had found the photo frame and instantly knew what had happened. She hastily called out David to help. As they rushed Sheryl to the hospital, they also informed Charles of the whole matter.

As soon as Charles came to know about that, he became so worried that he left his clients behind and rushed to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor was examining Sheryl. He waited for the examining procedure to be completed. David and Alice were sitting beside him. They were silenced by his serious look. It was difficult for them to say a word in those circumstances.

David hesitated for a while. He watched Charles pacing around anxiously as he worried about Sheryl’s health condition. He wanted Charles to calm down and rest. Finally he said, “Mr. Taylor, don’t walk around like this. Please sit down and rest.”

“Do you really think I can rest now? When she is in the examination room?” Charles asked. He smiled bitterly and asked Alice, “What happened to her? When I left the office, she was fine. How come she fainted suddenly?”

“I don’t know, either.” answered Alice. She clasped David’s hand tightly and said timidly to Charles, “She had already fainted when I came in. I saw that she was holding a photo of your wife. Maybe she was stimulated by something when she saw that photo. That could be the reason she fainted.”

Charles suddenly remembered that it had happened in his own house last time, and he said nothing more. He stared at the doctor’s room with fear in his eyes. He was afraid that something bad would happen to her.

“Who is the patient’s family member?” a doctor called out from near the examination room. He had finished the examination.

“It’s me.” Charles hurried up and asked the doctor, “Doctor, what’s the matter with her now? Why does she always faint?”

“She’s fine,” said the doctor. He comforted Charles, “It not as serious as you think.” Just as the doctor said those words, Charles couldn’t control himself from saying impatiently, “Are you kidding me? She has fainted, and you say she is fine?”

“Can you calm down and listen to me first?” said the doctor. He looked into Charles’ eyes and said calmly, “The patient has lost her memory because of the stimulation of drugs. But now she has the symptoms of memory awakening, so that’s why she always has a headache and has sometimes fainted. That is the precursor to the awakening of her memory.”

“Really? Are you sure about that?” asked Charles. He looked at the doctor. “Is there any way to cure her?”

The doctor shook his head and said, “Well, according to her health condition, you just pay more attention to her health. She is all right now, you can go in to see her. But be careful, do not take too long, what she needs most now is a good rest.”
