His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1306 His Wife

"Charles, don't worry. You will be okay. I am praying for you." The hall was eerily quiet as Sheryl kept

praying in her mind. Her eyes darted to the operating room door, but she remained still on her spot like

a soldier who guarded her beloved.

Many hours had passed, and Sheryl had sat in the hall until it was midnight and her body had become

numb. After a while, the operating room door finally opened. Sheryl hurriedly staggered to the door and

hopefully looked at the doctor.

"The surgery was a success, and the patient would probably wake up tomorrow. He just needs to

recover in the hospital for a few days," the surgeon in charge said.

When the doctor's words reached Sheryl's ears, tears of joy flowed out from her eyes. She had gone

from immense sadness to joyful relief in a span of few hours.

"Thanks. Thank you so much," Sheryl choked out to the nurse and doctor in front of her. The two of

them nodded, and made way for Sheryl to take a look at Charles.

Her eyes carefully scanned Charles' face. It was only at this time that she finally felt that he was beside

her. She was extremely happy that her beloved husband was still alive.

Relief washed over her as her legs buckled a bit, and she sat on the floor. Upon making contact with

the cold tiles, she burst into tears of joy. She had been fearful for quite some time, but everything was

now replaced by happiness because her love had survived.

Soon enough, Charles was wheeled into a recovery room. Sheryl stayed by his bedside all night long

and gently gazed at his sleeping face. She didn't dare fall asleep.

It had been a long time since she had watched him like this.

After Melissa fell down from the stairs, Charles didn't say anything but he clearly stayed away from

Sheryl. She had wanted to explain to him many times that she didn't push Melissa down, but whenever

she did, he didn't believe her for some reason.

While she thought about it, she was even afraid that Charles would still be indifferent to her even after

he woke up. Her heart broke into pieces whenever he looked at her that way.

Just a few days later, it was confirmed that the driver who was behind the hit-and-run accident was

arrested and put in jail. Nobody ever found out that a sum of money had been secretly sent to the

driver's family.

Meanwhile, Black didn't expect Charles to get so lucky that he didn't die in such extreme situation.

However, he still felt glad that Charles was gravely injured. Moreover, if he could spread the news that

Shining Company's president was wounded in a car accident and was in serious danger, the company

would be forced into a crisis. He didn't think that Charles would be able to save that kind of critical

situation.

A ruthless smirk crossed Black's face. He would never leave the situation at that for Charles had dared

to steal the woman he loved the most.

At Ward 301

After Holley heard that Charles had gotten injured in a car accident, she had been visiting him every

day since.

"Holley Ye, what the hell do you want? I don't need you to look after me. Please leave."

Charles couldn't remember how many times he had blatantly refused Holley, but it was as if she never

heard it every time.

"I made the chicken soup today specially for you. Anyway, I'm just being polite. Just have a taste,

okay?" Holley said with pleading eyes. She picked up the spoon and tried to feed him the soup.

But Charles turned his head aside. If his hand wasn't injured, he would've slapped his palm in

exasperation as well.

Still, Holley was persistent. She moved the spoon further and put it into his mouth with a stubborn look.

On that same day, Sheryl was worried about the two kids that were left at home. Thus, she went back

before Charles had woken up, but she employed a nurse to take care of him.

After she had taken the kids to school and was about to go to the hospital for Charles, she heard the

rumors that Charles Lu of Shining Company was badly injured in a car accident, and his life was

hanging on the line. The news caused the company's share values to slump and face a major crisis in

public relations.

Therefore, Sheryl had to help the company deal with the problem and had made clear to all media

outlets that Charles was in good health, and would show up in public again soon. Despite her best

efforts to clarify things, the share values were still only rising up in a slow stream.

In addition, the other shareholders of Shining Company kept questioning her all the time.

"Mrs. Lu, how is Mr. Lu? Is his life or death uncertain as the media said? When will Mr. Lu come back

to the company and take charge? Now the company is totally in a mess."

"Everyone, please don't worry. Mr. Lu is perfectly safe. He will come back to the company after a period

of rest."

All of them continued to pester Sheryl. She had no choice but to repeat and explain everything until her

throat went dry.

With all that had happened recently, Sheryl hadn't found the perfect time to check on Charles in the

hospital until today. When she finally got to the ward, she unexpectedly saw Holley.

She had never thought that she would see Holley in the hospital with Charles, and the two seemed

happy together.

Panic started to rise within Sheryl. Holley could easily grab everything from her since her childhood.

And now, even Charles? Would she steal him away too? Just like how she had thrown her this

unexpected marriage, would she grab it back just as easily as she pleased?

Sheryl stood by the ward door and suddenly lost the will to go in. A bitter smile graced her lips, then

she left.

Her legs trudged to the stairs as the nurses' voices drone by from a close distance. She didn't hear

everything they said, but some words struck her heart.

"The wife of the patient in Ward 301 came to see him again. She lovingly brings him dinner every time.

As a single woman, I'm so jealous of them!" a nurse said wistfully. Sheryl paused in her tracks.

'In Ward 301? Isn't it the ward where Charles is? There is only one patient in that ward, ' Sheryl thought

sadly. It turned out that Holley had visited so many times, that even strangers had mistaken her for

Charles' wife.

Depression consumed Sheryl and she just shook her head. She really wanted to run and tell those

nurses loud and proud that she was Charles' wife.

"Wife? I don't think so. His wife came to sign on the day of his surgery. She is not the one in the ward

right now," the other nurse replied mockingly. The other nurses widened their eyes in surprise.

"No way…"

one of them gasped. The other nurse simply shrugged her shoulders.

"Who knows? Ward 301 is for VIPs, and the patient in it is an obviously rich man. Nothing's impossible

for a wealthy man's relationship. What's more, he's so handsome, right?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The nurses' voice drowned into a blur, but Sheryl remained still. Her strength had seemingly left her

body and she suddenly didn't know where to go.

Meanwhile in the ward, Charles endured the pain as he pushed away the spoon that Holley kept

putting into his mouth. He knew that it was pointless to say anything to her, so he told the nurse to ask

Holley to leave.

It was like a gloomy cloud perpetually circulated on top of Charles' head. The one he'd been expecting

didn't come, but the one he really hated always appeared in front of him.
