His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1146 A Hospital Visit

"Did you find anything unusual when you got home?" Charles asked cautiously.

"Well, the living room was in a complete mess when I got home. The kids were gone, but their toys

were all over the place. No one had taken care of the mess. I got a little curious as to what Nancy was

doing at the time." Gary knew nothing about the kidnapping, so he couldn't have known what had

happened to Nancy. Seeing the mess, he was a little angry and irritated by Nancy's irresponsibility.

But Nancy was known to be a very hardworking servant. Usually, she would never leave a room messy,

with so many toys lying around everywhere. It was worrying as to why she had just left without putting

them away.

"That's okay, Grandpa. I will give her a call. She probably had something urgent to deal with." Charles

didn't want Gary to know anything about the kidnapping. He was too old to bear such horrifying news.

"Yes, you should ask her why she left the house in such a hurry." Gary knew that Nancy would never

be this careless, and that she must have had a reason of some sort.

"I will, Grandpa. You don't have to be worried about this. We are retiring to our bedroom," Charles said

with a warm smile, when he saw the concern on Gary's face.

"Okay, go ahead."

They quickly went to the bedroom and closed the door. As soon as they were inside, Clark couldn't

help but ask, "Dad, is Nancy okay? I am a little worried about her. I feel that something terrible might

have happened to her."

"Clark, when you were kidnapped in the morning, were you both home or outdoors?" Charles asked his

son. Clark had always struck him as a careful and cautious child. If something had not been right with

Nancy, he would have noticed it.

"Shirley and I were playing with toys in the living room, and at that time, several men burst into the

house. They brought Nancy to the floor violently and then took us away! Their unexpected arrival

shocked us all. When we were being taken, Nancy was lying on the floor. She looked like she was

hurt."

He and Shirley had been through so many ups and downs since morning. But he remembered

everything so clearly and was eager to tell every little detail to his father.

"So, Nancy was with you when the men barged into the house. Was she shocked to see them as well?"

Charles asked, finally getting a clear picture of what had happened to them in the morning.

"I suppose so," Clark said, nodding.

Sheryl quickly reached for her phone and dialed Nancy's number. After letting the phone ring for a

while, someone picked up at last. Sheryl immediately said, "Hello, Nancy?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sheryl's tone was full of concern.

"Are you Sheryl? Mrs. Lu, right?" a man's voice came through from the other side.

"Who are you? Where is Nancy?" Sheryl got suspicious. She had thought that Nancy had nothing to do

with this whole kidnapping. She hoped that Nancy was fine.

From Clark's words, she figured that Nancy was another victim in this kidnapping case. She hoped that

whoever was behind this hadn't gone after Nancy, to continue to threaten her and Charles. When she

had picked up the phone to call her, she had been hoping that Nancy would be unhurt.

However, no matter where Nancy was, it seemed that something bad had happened to her. Something

that was not supposed to happen had actually happened. But from Sheryl's judgement, it seemed that

the person who had answered her phone was not a bad guy. His tone sounded more worried and

irritated than Sheryl's.

"I am Nancy's son. My mother is at the hospital." The man's voice was calm, but clearly it contained

much anger. Sheryl felt that. He continued, "If I hadn't called my mother in the morning, she might have

lost her life! Since she wasn't answering my calls, I realized that something must have happened and

immediately headed to her workplace. When I arrived at Dream Garden and stepped into the house,

I..."

"How is she now? Is she wounded badly?" Sheryl felt shivers running all through her body when she

heard his words.

"Oh, so Mrs. Lu does know about the incident. So why didn't you take my mother to the hospital at

once? What happened to her? Who did such a horrid thing to her? My mother hasn't gained

consciousness yet. The doctor told me that she might stay in a coma forever. Is this the way how you

rich people regard and treat ordinary people? Do you regard a servant's life as low and cheap as a

dog's?" Clearly, Nancy's son was disappointed by Sheryl and her family. He couldn't understand why

his mother had been so stubborn in devotedly working for such a ruthless family. If Nancy hadn't

worked overtime, she wouldn't have wounded up like this.

"Though I can't explain to you right now about what had happened, it's not true that we don't care about

Nancy. I found out just now that Nancy might be hurt when I got home with my husband. Look, you

have to tell us where she is. We will come over right away." Sheryl felt wronged, but she didn't care at

all. She felt guilty that Nancy had gotten involved in this mess. Moreover, she was scared that Nancy's

life might be in danger.

She felt that it was all her fault.

"We are at the General Hospital." The man's voice was calm once again. It was Sheryl's responsibility

to take care of his mother. After all, she was injured inside her house. Moreover, the medical expenses

might be huge. If Sheryl refused to pay the medical fee for Nancy, her family wouldn't be able to afford

any further treatment.

Considering all this, Nancy's son felt that he should be polite to Sheryl. Besides, the way Sheryl had

responded to the news of his mother's injury made him feel reassured.

But he didn't know how long it would take for his mother to wake up; it appeared like it would take a

very long time.

"Charles, let's go! Nancy is at the General Hospital," Sheryl hurriedly said to Charles as she hung up.

"Okay! Shirley, Clark. Will you stay at home, or do you want to go to the hospital with us?" Charles

should have asked his children to go to sleep since it was really late into the night. However, when he

thought back to everything that had happened today, he was unwilling to leave his kids at home by

themselves.

Even if the kids had the courage to stay at home, Charles and Sheryl were scared to let them stay!

But the kids hadn't recovered from the traumatic experience either. "Dad, please let us go with you.

Mom, don't leave us here. We are scared to stay home without you!" Shirley begged, her eyes full of

fear.

"Okay, we'll go together! We won't leave you home alone!" Charles looked at his young daughter with a

pang in his heart. He crouched down in front of her, patting her head with a smile. He hated that she

had to go through such a horrible incident. He felt like he had failed her as a parent.

"Yes, let's go together to see our dear Nancy." Shirley's worried face broke into a smile at his father's

words. There was no fear in her face anymore, like the look she had when they were in the

underground garage. Shirley was feeling much better since she was now reunited with her parents.

However, Clark didn't look as joyful as his sister. He still looked worried and asked Sheryl, "Mom, is

Nancy all right?"

"Of course, she is. We will be seeing her soon. Don't worry." Though Sheryl had no idea how bad

Nancy's condition went, she didn't want the kids to worry too much.

When they arrived at the General Hospital, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

When they spotted Sheryl, the medical staff in the hospital shed their unusual looks on her, which

confused Sheryl. Then she heard one of the staff whispering, "Look! Isn't that the Lu family? And the

woman there! Isn't she the one who is involved in the scandal? She had an affair with someone."

"Yes, that's her! How could she be so shameless? Mr. Lu is so rich and devoted to her. It's such a

disgraceful thing to do to him. She even admitted publicly to her involvement with another man!

"

Sheryl had never expected that her confession to the reporters would have reached so far. She felt

dejected to hear such words from the medical staff. She had intended to be open and honest to the

public, but it looked like she had ruined her own reputation by lying on live television!
