The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 732

Nancy felt like she had been punched in the gut by Sheryl's words and she actually forgot how to breathe for a second or two. Her back was suddenly stiff with fear as she forced herself to look at Sheryl. "You..." she stammered.

Sheryl cut her off. "Yes, my memory is back. I remember everything," She smirked and continued, "I bet you never expected me to regain my memory. Otherwise you won't have even dared to dream of coming to work for me and becoming Shirley's babysitter."

Nancy had indeed been shocked by Sheryl's sudden recovery, but managed to recover quickly.

The truth was, Nancy had already been mentally prepared for Sheryl to regain her memory. She had even imagined countless scenarios and how she would respond. But she had never in a million years imagined this particular situation. Sheryl's attitude towards her, and the words that were coming out of the mouth was shocking, to say the least.

"That's great to hear!" Nancy smiled and continued, "I knew that one day you would regain your memory. I have been anticipating it."

"What are you talking about?" Sheryl asked in confusion. "Aren't you scared? Now that I've gotten my memory back, aren't you worried that I'll take my revenge?"

"Whatever plans you have for me, I admit that I deserve the punishment and suffering." Nancy gave a forced smile and continued, "What happened back then... I admit, it was my actions that resulted in your separation from Charles, not to mention the misfortunes you suffered afterwards..."

"Enough!" Sheryl got up and turned away, unable to look at Nancy anymore. Despite her motherly, loving appearance, she still couldn't get over Nancy's crimes against her. "Just stop talking."

"Please, just let me finish what I have to say." Even though she was now talking to Sheryl's back, Nancy continued, "I've been carrying this heavy block of emotions for the past three years. Now please give me the chance to get them off my chest. I fear I'll never get the opportunity to speak them again."

Sheryl kept quiet and Nancy took it as a sign of encouragement. "Three years ago you were kind enough to employ Brent, but what you only got was misery. Brent has passed away and now I too, am prepared for whatever punishment you have planned for me, as long as it helps to clear any vengeance and hatred in your heart."

"What did you say?" Sheryl was stunned by the words that just came out from Nancy's mouth. "Brent is dead?"

"Yes..." Nancy gave a bitter smile and replied, "My son has been dead for the past three years. "

What Nancy said completely made Sherly forget about any plans of revenge, and was instead replaced by sympathy.

She knew that Nancy only had one son. If Nancy were still working at Dream Garden, Charles would make arrangements for her after her retirement. But now, not only had she lost the job at the Dream Garden, she had also lost her only son.

'What would happen in her later years? Who is going to take care of her?' Sheryl's sympathy grew on her.

"Since Brent is dead, why are you still here? Why didn't you return to your hometown?" Sheryl gave Nancy a puzzled look. "I don't see any reason for you to stay in Y City."

Nancy explained, "I did think of returning to my hometown after Mr. Lu dismissed me, but I could never forget the fact that my family have done you wrong. My guilty conscience prevented me from doing so; I couldn't just leave."

She paused to recollect her thoughts and continued, "So I remained here in Y City and got a job with a local housekeeping agency. It doesn't pay much but it's enough for me to survive.
