The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 782

Taken aback, Nancy stared at Sheryl and asked, "Sher... How can it be even possible? Charlie's age is different from that of the missing kid. Moreover, how did Leila make him her own son?"

"It is unbelievable for me too." Sheryl gave a bitter smile and added, "But it is the truth."

"So... Does Charlie know about all of this now?" Nancy questioned Sheryl with great concern.

"He doesn't know anything about it yet." Sheryl shook head slightly and said to Nancy, "Nancy, please tell me what should I do now. I feel so discontented."

Although she got along well with Charlie, she still felt weird to know that she was his real mother all of a sudden.

"Don't worry, Sher." Nancy looked at her with solicitude. "What's Mr. Lu's opinion on this matter?" Nancy asked her.

Sheryl shook her head and answered, "I haven't told him about all this. I don't even know whether I should tell him or not."

Nancy pacified her mood quickly. She continued convincing Sheryl, "Sher, we have spent so much of our efforts to look for the kid and now that we have found him, we should be happy right?"

"Yes, but I still find it difficult to accept the truth." Sheryl was happy to find her son but, was also dumbfounded amidst the result. After some hesitation, she let out a sigh and said to Nancy, "I really don't know how to deal with this matter now. Charlie got injured while he was trying to protect Shirley. I feel so sorry for him."

Nancy felt guilty because she disliked Charlie previously and was not friendly with him at all.

"Now that Charlie is your son, the only thing we should do is to try our best to compensate him. No matter he accepts you or not, we should at least try to make efforts and shower him with the immense love and nurture," Nancy suggested.

Then Nancy smiled bitterly. "After all, you didn't abandon him on purpose."

She cast a glance at Sheryl and said, "Okay, you should have some rest now. Charlie got injured, so I will make some nourishing soup for him tomorrow morning. You can bring it along with you then."

Sheryl heaved a deep sigh. Nancy was right. Now, to love Charlie immensely was the only way to fix the mistakes.

She couldn't fall asleep for a single minute. She kept on thinking about Charlie all of the time. Sheryl was overwhelmed by both joy and sorrow.

She was happy to reunite with her son eventually.

But she felt sorry because he was always here yet she failed to recognize him earlier and left him to suffer a lot. She was feeling disastrous to left Charlie in Leila's hands.

Sheryl finally fell asleep late at night but, she couldn't sleep adequately.

Charles stayed up for the whole night. When Charlie slept, he went for Hugo and gave him the money as a reward payment. "Hugo, thank you and your men. This is the payment for you," he said as he handed the money to Hugo.

Charles didn't care about how much money it cost to get his kids back as long as he found his two kids safe.

"It's so kind of you." Hugo said with a smile, "I really helped you for the sake of Andy."

Hugo tried to pretend that he didn't care about the money but his eyes had never shunted from it.

Charles said with a smile, "You deserve this money. Take it please."

"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you." Hugo handed over the money to his men and said to Charles, "The person you want is here. When will you take her away?"
