His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1162

Sheryl walked towards Nancy's hospital bed. As she approached, her mind was filled with a lot of hesitation. With a soft smile, Sheryl asked, "How are you, Nancy? Are you feeling any better?" Sheryl's voice was low with a tinge of guilt. She gazed at the soothing smile on Nancy's face and felt the sting in her heart once again for having suspected her for the abduction of the kids.

"I'm fine. The doctor came by and said I would get better soon. All I need is a good rest for a couple of days. I know you are too busy these days. Thank you for dropping by," Nancy replied politely.

She had learnt about Clark's and Shirley's abduction. When she thought of the two kids, she felt guilty.

She had failed to protect them, after all. If anything bad had happened to them, she could never have been able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"You are being too formal to me, Nancy. I'm glad to hear that you are getting better," Sheryl said with a slight smile. She understood why Nancy suddenly turned so formal and courteous.

"She needs to stay here for another two days. If everything is okay with her, she will be released." A nursing assistant who was responsible for attending to Nancy came in with a tray in her hands. She gazed at Nancy tenderly and then turned towards Sheryl. When she spoke, the joy in her voice touched both Nancy and Sheryl with a lot of positivity.

"That's good," Sheryl observed with relief. "After you are discharged from the hospital, please go home and take some rest. When you feel that you are absolutely fit, you can join back to work."

"I will. Thank you, Sher," Nancy expressed her gratitude again. Every time Nancy thanked Sheryl or expressed concern about the kids, Sheryl could not help feeling guilty. "Did those bad guys get caught?" Nancy sounded concerned. 'Now that the kids have been rescued, the kidnappers should be arrested and the main criminal who was behind all this should also be put behind bars and punished, ' she thought.

"Yes. They had taken the mastermind behind the abduction under police custody. But his companions are still on the run," Sheryl blurted out the fact.

"So not all the bad guys got arrested?" Nancy asked with disappointment. Nancy's face grew grim as she thought of the culprits roaming free. But considering the case was closed since the prime culprit had been put behind bars, she was much relieved. Drawing a smile, she continued, "At least the one who organized the crime got busted."

"Don't worry, Nancy. The kidnappers will be arrested very soon. None of them will be able to get away with it," Sheryl assured Nancy in a firm and confident tone. Nancy smiled back at Sheryl reassuringly. Everyone who was involved in kidnapping the kids would be punished without any respite. And there were no two ways to it.

"I agree with you," Nancy replied politely. The entire family had gone through a very tough time in the last few days. Only when each and everyone involved in it from start to finish was handcuffed and adequately punished, would the Lu family and their well-wishers be at peace.

When Sheryl and Isla walked out of the hospital, dusk fell quietly. The setting sun spreading it crimson hue through the sky, pale golden lined clouds hanging there adding to the ethereal view. Looking at the tangerine sky, Isla reached out her hands and sighed, "People always say that the setting sun is beautiful. Why didn't I find it before?"

"Come on, Isla, what are you trying to say?" Sheryl responded with a surprised look. Staring at the emotional Isla, Sheryl understood her feelings. Isla had been a real life support for her and Charles through thick and thin. Isla felt really relieved that they could come out of the ordeal.

"Nothing. I am just happy for you," Isla replied with a smile. Ignoring Sheryl's stare, she embraced the picturesque scene as she continued, "If anything had happened to Nancy, you would have been feeling guilty. But now that she is getting better, it's good news. Don't you think so?"

"You're right. Although the kidnappers are still on the run, they will be caught sooner or later. At that time we can relax. At least, people I care about are safe and they are with me. As for those bad guys, I will leave them to the police. We should live in the moment and be happy," Sheryl returned flatly. Sheryl seemed to have toughened a lot in the last few days. More than anything else, she had all her loved ones around her. She had her friend right beside her. She was thankful than ever before.

Although Sheryl knew that Rachel and Holley had something to do with the abduction, she had no intention of wasting time and energy dealing with them. Instead, she resolved to stay away from them and wanted to focus on her company and family.

"Yes, you are right. How about we go for dinner?" Isla reminded as she noticed that Sheryl was in a good mood.
