His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1197 Wake Up



Chapter 1197 Wake Up

"Hello, Sher," greeted Nick, smiling brightly at the sight of his visitor. Although he was still stuck in bed,

he looked much better— the smile on his face was dazzling and radiant. Exuding his usual easygoing NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

yet well-read air, he looked more enchanting than the previous day.

Staring at the handsome patient, Sheryl was engrossed in her thoughts. 'He is an orphan but he's so

good looking.'

"I brought you some fruits. What would you like to eat?" asked Sheryl, still in a good mood. Noticing

Nick's improved condition and cheery attitude, she felt happy for him.

"Thank you, Sher," he politely responded. Since yesterday, he began calling her "Sher" instead of "Ms.

Xia." Clearly, they had gotten more comfortable around each other. "An apple would be nice."

Being called by her first name let Sheryl feel more at ease being around the young man.

"Alright, hold on. I'll peel one for you."

With a delightful smile, she granted his request.

As she placed all the stuff on the table, she picked up a big, red apple and took a seat beside the

patient. Appreciating the nicely grown apple, she jokingly said, "This apple looks delicious. I also want

one."

"How about you peel two? One for you and one for me?"

"Good idea."

After taking two apples, she entered the bathroom in the ward without sparing a glance at the door.

All the while, Melissa stood right outside the ward, eavesdropping on Nick and Sheryl's conversation.

With the door ajar, she peeped in through the crack and saw the young man. 'Even though he's no big

celebrity, he's even more handsome than many actors.

Most importantly, he's young and Sheryl just smiled at him, ' she mused.

Melissa hadn't seen Sheryl smile at her son that way in a long time.

Originally, she thought that the couple treated each other indifferently due to her presence in the house.

After pondering, she came to the conclusion that Sheryl was actually having an affair.

'I've always known that Sheryl isn't a good person. According to Leila and my observation, she's a sly,

wretched woman. Now, she even dares to meet her lover in a public place…' she remarked to herself.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got until she finally decided to do something for her son.

However, she didn't think it was an entirely bad thing for her, and instead she regarded it as a good

chance. Whether or not she could kick Sheryl out of Dream Garden depended on the next few actions

she took.

'Since she's preparing the fruits in the bathroom, I don't think she'll leave the ward right away. What if

Charles sees her sitting on another man's bed, laughing and talking with him?'

The thought of finally getting rid of the woman excited her.

Turning around, she went back to her son.

"You're finally here, Mom. What took you so long?"

"There were so many people in the bathroom.

I waited for a bit but the line wasn't moving so I came back." Feigning a resigned look, Melissa sighed.

Upon hearing this, Charles furrowed his brows. Having dropped by the place several times since he

had invested in the hospital on behalf of his company, he was rather familiar with it already. 'I

remember there's another restroom in the inpatient department.

All the wards in that area have a bathroom. If we go there, Mom won't have to wait in line, ' Charles

mused.

"I see. If there are many people here, why don't you go to the inpatient area?"

"How do I get there?" she deliberately asked. Of course, she knew exactly where Charles was referring

to. On her way back to meet him, she already found the bathroom in the inpatient area; to make her

son catch Sheryl cheating on him, she had to pretend that she didn't know her way to the restroom.

"It's over there," Charles replied, pointing to the area. Seeing the confusion on her face, he said, "Never

mind. Come with me, I'll bring you there."

"Am I taking too much of your time, Charles?" Expertly putting on a guilty face, she looked up at her

son.

"Mom, I've told you so many times, you don't have to be so formal with me. I'm your son.

As long as you need me, I'll be here for you. So don't think too much," Charles said earnestly.

"Alright. My son is really all grown up," she returned with a loving smile. In spite of the situation, she

was truly touched by his words. As her son walked towards the inpatient department, she followed

behind.

It was a rather long walk along a hallway until they reached the end. As they approached the restroom,

Charles stopped outside Nick's ward accidentally.

"Have you seen that one? It's a restroom," he said to Melissa, pointing in front of them.

"Yes, I can go there now. I'll be back soon," Melissa said curtly. 'Great!' Melissa thought, overjoyed

deep down inside.

"Alright," Charles agreed. Of course, Charles had no intention of following her to the restroom; it wasn't

his style to wait outside the ladies' room.

Being a good actress, Melissa trotted toward the restroom hurriedly.

When she was out of sight, Charles began scrolling through his phone.

At that moment, a familiar laugh reached his ears from the ward behind him.

"Sher, this is really good, so crisp and sweet. Where did you buy them?"

"I'm glad you like it. Do you really want to know where I got them?"

"Yes, of course. When I leave the hospital, I have to buy some. It's the most delicious apple I've ever

had." When Nick was finished with the IV, Sheryl helped him sit up against the headboard while he ate

the apple she peeled for him.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Nick, Sheryl was truly happy to see the patient enjoy the fruit. With a slight

smile, she said, "The fruit shop is far from here. I got them on my way here from home. If you really

love them, I'll buy some and bring them to you when you get discharged."
