Chapter 1633 Leila Was Panicking (1/2)
Justice has a way to make you pay. Leila should have appreciated that Charles was still unconscious. If he was already awake, Sheryl could have started to fight back and made Leila pay for what she had done.
”Are you sure about it?” Sheryl glared at Leila's face, focusing on her eyes with an indistinct smile.
It seemed that her smile contained a myriad of feelings--contempt, disgust, hate, and impatience, which made Leila even more nervous and panicked.
To maintain her apparent innocence, Leila stared back with her chin up and countered relentlessly, ”Don't look at me like that, Sheryl.”
”How I look at you or how I think about you has actually got nothing to do with you,” contradicted Sheryl. She stepped forward and flexed her body like a cat ready to launch an attack.
Frustrated, Leila balled her hands into fists and gasped, but had nothing to say. Seeing her reaction, Sheryl laughed mockingly and turned away from her. Karma was yet to come, and Sheryl could wait.
Leila heaved a sigh of relief as soon as Sheryl had left. However, Leila still had to figure out why Cassie hadn't revealed that she had pushed her down the stairs, for this was the evidence that would seal her fate. Leila was curious as to why Cassie and Nick would suddenly spare her as if nothing had happened.
After some time, she got a chance and slipped into the office of Cassie's attending physician. She expressed her concern and told the doctor that she wanted to know more about her friend's condition. The doctor, not even confirming who Leila was, described in detail how Cassie was doing. She even suggested her to spend more time with Cassie, as talking to her could help her recover the lost memories.
”Doctor, is there any chance for Cassie to regain her lost memories? I'm worried, and I wonder what we can do for her, in case she can't remember these lost memories for the rest of her life.” That was the true reason why Leila had showed up, to know if she could escape from the horror of what she had done. She suppressed her excitement and waited for the doctor's response.
She prayed and hoped from the bottom of her heart that Cassie would never remember what happened that night.
However, much to her disappointment, the doctor cast a ridiculous glance at her and assured her, ”I'm sure it will never happen. She will remember everything soon. I can promise you that! All you should do is provide her with a caring environment that would support her recovery.”
The doctor's words were pouring over Leila like a basin of cold water. She knew it was her end. She shuddered as if she was being chilled by the autumn breezes while her heart was sinking.
”Thank you, doctor. I'll spend as much time with her as possible. See you around.” Leila then rose from her seat and hurried out of the room before the doctor could utter another word.
