Abby finished talking and waited for Sheryl's reaction, but Sheryl remained silent for a long time. Abby felt nervous and said anxiously, "Sher, I have discussed this at length with Andy. Whatever compensation you ask for, we will try our best to fulfill the same. Please say something..."
"Aunt Abby," Sheryl finally said. When first hearing Abby's words, Sheryl was really angry. Maybe that was why Andy didn't show happy appearance when he saw her, she thought.
But then she reasoned that he had done this for Rick's safety. She could understand his love for his son and was relieved.
Fortunately, the matter was in the past and had been settled, so Sheryl was not going to dwell on it.
"I am glad that you told me about it," Sheryl said. Then she glanced at Abby and continued, "Fortunately, Shirley is fine now, so let us forget all this. I don't want to pay any more attention to it, and I don't want to investigate it further."
"Really?" Abby looked at Sheryl in surprise and said, "Do you really forgive Andy?"
"Yes, I am," Sheryl said, smiling. "Rick is safe and sound, and I am happy about that."
"Sher... I don't know what to say... This is really very kind of you." Abby was very touched and promised Sheryl, "You have my word that such things will never happen again in future. I promise you."
Abby continued, "Luckily, Charlie has only suffered a minor fracture, otherwise we would really be embarrassed to face you and Charles again."
Abby glanced at Sheryl and asked, " Sher, have you ever thought about how you are going to reveal the truth to Charlie? That kid is sensible. I am sure he will accept it very gracefully."
"Aunt Abby, what are you talking about? I am unable to understand what you are saying." Sheryl was perplexed.
Hearing this Abby realized that Sheryl did not yet know Charlie's true identity. She parked the car on the side of the road and told her that Charlie was her son and Shirley's twin. Abby saw shocked surprise on Sheryl's face at this news.
Although Sheryl had doubted this many times herself, she was surprised and shocked to have it confirmed that Charlie was really her son.
"Oh my God! Is that true? How do you know? Are you sure?" she asked Abby incoherently. When Sheryl saw Abby nodding her head, she was stunned. "How can this be?"
"It's true." Abby smiled gently and continued, "Sher, he's your son."
Sheryl was so confused by this revelation. Dazed, she didn't know how she got to Dream Garden and or how she got off the car. When Sheryl entered there she found Shirley flitting around like a butterfly behind Charlie. When Charlie wanted water, Shirley instantly ran to bring some for him. If Charlie wanted to eat some fruit, Shirley took the initiative to wash the fruit for him. Charlie was bothered by Shirley's actions and her constant shadowing of him.
"Shirley, thank you, but these are things I can do myself," Charlie said.
Shirley did not respond, but continued to do things for him.
When Sheryl came up behind them, Shirley saw her first. She squealed and hugged Sheryl's leg. She said, "Mom, I have been very good. I listened to you and took good care of Charlie."
"You are such a good girl sweetie. I love you," Sheryl spoke to Shirley, but her eyes were on Charlie.
Charlie looked helplessly at Sheryl. "Sher, I am really much better. The doctor said I'll be fine soon."
"Charlie, come here." Sheryl squatted down and called Charlie forward.
Sheryl did not dare cuddle him immediately. She had been separated from him for too long and did not know if he would blame her.
