The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 590

"What's happening here?" Charles asked. He was a little surprised to see the Zhao family in his house at this moment. Looking at Arthur, Amy, Abby and his grandpa one by one, he asked again,"Is there any problem?"

Noticing that none of the Zhao family was about to answer Charles' question, Gary sighed and explained,"They saw Charlie just now."

Upon hearing what his grandfather said, Charles furrowed his brow. He felt that any explanation would not do in front of them right now. He couldn't make Charlie just disappear. However, Sheryl was still his wife and no one could take her place. Seeing his reaction, Abby sneered,"Tell us about that kid, Charles!" Charles stayed quiet for a moment, so Abby added,"He's your son, isn't he?"

Abby didn't know what really had happened, but she felt awful for Autumn. Her husband had cheated on her when she was pregnant. Now she could understand why Autumn left Charles.

Heaving a deep sigh, Charles answered,"Charlie is my son and I won't deny it." He tried to explain with a bitter smile,"I didn't know his existence until recently. I can assure you that he is just a result of an accident. I didn't intend to hurt Autumn or cheat on her. Charlie's presence won't change anything. I love Autumn and it'll never change."

"I don't think so!" Arthur sneered and said to Charles coldly,"Autumn is my granddaughter and I respect every decision she made. Since she left you, I believe that she had her own reason. We would like to hear it directly from her so please take us to where she is right now. Also, I think it would be better if we draw a clear line between each other. Please leave her alone and we'll do our best to take care of her from now on."

"Please don't talk like this, Arthur! We're still in-laws, right? Give Charles a chance to explain everything to you. Even just for the sake of Shirley. She's Charles and Autumn's daughter. She's both our great granddaughter!" Gary tried to persuade Arthur. He had been waiting for three long years. And now that Autumn had come back, he wanted to make everything right. This matter must be resolved once and for all.

Unfortunately, no one from Zhao family was willing to listen to his explanation. Autumn had suffered a lot in the past years and for them, Charles and his family should be blamed for all of her miseries. They owned a lot to her, so they would try their best to make it up to her and protect her. Thus, they decided to take her with them. Meanwhile, they hoped that Charles would keep himself away from her. Anyway, he had hurt her so much and even cheated on her. So, it was only right for her to leave Charles.

Nevertheless, Charles didn't want to give up. He tried every possible way to persuade them to listen to him until he eventually made them sit down.

"I know it's hard for you to accept what happened. I could understand if you're all disappointed at me. I won't try to defend myself because I knew I was at fault. But, Charlie is just an accident," he started to explain. He took a deep breath before he continued,"As I've said earlier, I've never known his existence before. I was only able to confirm it recently. And since I've confirmed that he's my son, it's my obligation to raise him. I just couldn't take him for granted. But I can promise you that I'll talk with Autumn about this. As my wife, she has the right to know. And whatever decision she would make, I would respect it."

He paused for a moment. The next thing he said stunned the Zhao family. "Now, I want to tell you about Autumn. Although she's in Y City, she doesn't remember any of us now. She has lost all her memories."

"What? Can you say that again?" Abby asked. She was very aghast with what she heard and couldn't help but knit her brow. Then she continued,"Why doesn't she remember us? How could that be possible?"

"Well, she doesn't even remember her own name. Now she's being called Sheryl Xia. She couldn't recognize me anymore and she's currently dating Anthony. You still remember him, right?" Charles added.

"What's this all about? Could you explain to us clearly what really happened? How could she forget all of us just like that? We are her family after all! That's unbelievable!" Amy exclaimed. She felt like she would lose her mind after hearing what Charles said. Everything seemed to be so overwhelming. After so many troubles, she had finally found her granddaughter, but only to find out that Autumn had lost all her memories and wouldn't be able to recognize her anymore. She couldn't accept it.

"I think I know why," Arthur suddenly spoke. With a perplexed look, he mumbled,"She must have taken that pill." Upon hearing Arthur's words, Charles frowned and immediately asked,"Grandpa, you knew about the pill? How did you know about it?"

Everyone in the room turned to Arthur's direction. They all gave him an astonished look. Now, he had to tell them what he knew. "Anthony came to me that time and told me that there were two ways to treat Autumn's disease. One of them was to take the pill. According to him, she would recover but there might some side effects. I think losing her memories was the side effect he was referring to."

"Two ways?" Charles murmured. "If taking the pill was one way, then what was the other way?" he asked again.

"The other way was..." Arthur hesitated for a moment. "The other way was taking traditional Chinese medicine to condition her body. But it would take a long time and she might not be able to recover in three years. Anthony discussed with me which method was better for her. However, I didn't give him my final decision because I wanted to talk to you first that time. Yet, I didn't expect Autumn would disappear and wouldn't be able to come back until now."
