The Substitute Bride

Alice and David frowned. They didn't know what to do. Alice looked at David and asked,"Is everything okay?"

"How should I know?" David replied. He could vaguely recall that the man was Mrs. Lu's attending doctor. Mr. Lu hadn't been to see him for several years. But how could his boss and the doctor come to blows when meeting after such a long time?

David had absolutely no idea about Sheryl. He also had no valid excuse to go in to help. He was forced to wait outside and could do nothing about it.

Alice patted David on his shoulder and said,"You don't worry, David. Mr. Lu is a good boxer, after all."

David was a little relieved when he heard that. He could recall that Charles used to practice boxing many years earlier. He was good enough to win a championship easily. But in the last few years he had seldom put on his boxing gloves. David was confident that Charles wouldn't take too severe a beating.

While Charles thought that he could defeat Anthony, it actually wasn't so easy. Anthony was as strong as Charles. If they kept on fighting, they would both get injured.

Charles punched Anthony in the nose and the latter started bleeding. Anthony wiped off the blood and tried to fight again. Charles angrily shouted at him,"Enough! Just stop, you bastard!"

"I'm here to teach you a lesson today, Charles. You have Leila and Charlie but you want Sheryl and her daughter too. Can't you leave them alone?" Anthony threw a punch at Charles and connected.

Charles snarled as he touched the wound on his cheek. Charles too, was injured on the face.

"Leave her alone?" Charles raged. "Anthony, don't you know who she is? She is my legally wedded wife, Autumn. We would not have separated from each other for so long if you had not hidden her.

It's because of you that my wife and daughter are away from me. You tore my family apart. After all that you have the cheek to ask me to leave them alone. How dare you do that? Ridiculous!"

What made Charles angrier was Anthony's betrayal. He had bl

continued to hold his fists and insisted,"Charles, just let her go. Do you really think she'll love you again? Don't you even dare to have a hope about it.

Autumn was determined when she took that pill to erase her memory. She wouldn't like to remember any of those sad memories. And now Leila is your girlfriend. It seems that you have no chance at all."

Anthony ruthlessly continued,"You keep saying that you love her and harping on all you did for her. However, where were you when she was taken away? Also where were you at the time of her delivery? Or even this morning when Leila slapped her? Is this what you call love? Is this how you uphold your fucking vows?

You do not understand Sheryl at all. She made a clean break from you three years ago. She didn't want to see you ever again. That was the reason she took that pill."

He bent to pick up his crumpled coat from the floor and continued,"Look, I know you can locate wherever Sheryl and I go. So, I think, we'll stay here instead. You can attend our marriage and watch when we have our children. I will devote my whole life to take care of her. I swear I won't make her sad at all. I'll try my best to be a better husband than you.

So, if you truly love her please stay away from her. Instead pray for her future happiness with me. Don't waste your time pining for her."
