The Cherished Wife Chapter 1546
In her dream, the man had seemed so real. He had called her Kelly in such a tender way.Kelly.She suddenly smiled.Throughout her life, no one had ever called her that name in such a way. People either addressed her as "Ms. Kelly" or simply "Ms. Anderson".Even during her closest moments with Charles, he had only ever called her Kelly in passing. That name, spoken with such familiarity, had only ever come from that man.Kelly raised a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes for a moment.After all these years, she rarely thought about what had happened four years ago, when she had been abducted.She had buried the memories of those months, refusing to revisit the pain and confusion. But ever since her meeting with Noelle the day before, ever since learning the truth about the man's watchful presence in her life, those unresolved emotions had come rushing back, leaving her overwhelmed and disoriented."Mommy!"Seth's small hand tugged at hers as his other hand rubbed his slee

"Of course. You're so adorable. Aunt Noelle will definitely like you," Kelly said, crouching down to Seth's level and gently pinching his nose."When you meet Aunt Noelle, remember to greet her properly, okay?""Okay! If Aunt Noelle likes me, I'll like Aunt Noelle too!""Mischief-maker!" Kelly chuckled. As they arrived at Noelle's hospital room, Kelly hesitated briefly before knocking on the door and pushing it open.Noelle was awake, and she was quietly reading a book. In the corner of the room, Charles sat on the sofa, engrossed in work on his laptop. Though neither spoke, the atmosphere between them felt harmonious.Kelly could not help but feel a pang of envy as she observed the scene. They looked so at ease together.Even while working, Charles seemed relaxed, a stark contrast to the cold and detached demeanor he often displayed around her.Kelly pressed her lips together, holding Seth's hand as they walked inside.Noelle set down her book and looked up, slightly surprised

Kelly felt a bit startled by Charles' sudden attentiveness. Even at the height of their relationship, Charles had never shown such consideration toward her.His polite and gentle demeanor now seemed almost surreal, making her feel like she was seeing a completely different person.However, Kelly quickly realized that this shift was likely due to Noelle. She nodded and replied, "Yes, we've already eaten. What about you and Noelle?"Charles nodded as well. "We've eaten."Yet the atmosphere remained somewhat strained, likely because of his presence. Kelly harbored complicated feelings toward Charles—she no longer loved him, but having once been obsessively infatuated with him, she could not help but feel awkward.Charles, perceptive as ever, glanced at Noelle. She smiled and said, "Charlie, I've been craving something sweet, especially those pumpkin pies from Celia's Bakery. Could you go buy some for me?"Charles looked deeply into her eyes, his expression softening. Feeling a littl

That would mean Charles had met her before she saved him, which explained why he looked so shocked when he woke up that day.Though Charles never said anything, his behavior toward her during that period was exceptionally kind. Whatever Kelly asked for, Charles would agree to it.Kelly stared at Noelle, who appeared just as puzzled. From what she remembered, she had met Charles only after Xavier's betrayal. Before that, Charles did not exist in her world—at least not in her memory.Given how extraordinary Charles was, Noelle did not believe her memory could be so bad as to forget someone like him. She could not fathom not remembering their first meeting.Noelle pressed her lips together, looking troubled.Seeing her expression, Kelly quickly interjected, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I was just curious. It's not something I'm fixated on."Noelle shook her head. "There's nothing I can't share; it's just strange. I can't seem to recall when we first met. Accordi

Noelle gently pulled Seth into her arms, her fingers softly caressing his cheek and little head. "Kelly, about Seth's father…"Kelly paused for a moment before replying, "I don't know who he is."Noelle nodded and, with a perceptive sense of tact, decided not to press the matter further.The two sisters chatted about anything and everything the entire morning. Their topics ranged from mundane to absurd, yet with each exchange, their bond seemed to deepen, drawing them closer than before.Meanwhile, in the adjacent hospital room, Charles and Sean silently watched the two women and the child through a monitor. Their mutual silence, rare for the pair, was charged with unspoken tension.Sean held a detailed analysis report of Noelle's medical condition in one hand, alongside Harrison's blood sample results."Shirley hasn't shown up. It seems we can't count on her. Harrison's blood analysis shows no immediate issues, but you know as well as I do that his body can't—""I know," Charle

"What are you two chatting about?"Sean was the first to push the door open and walk in. He saw Noelle and Kelly talking, and the sisters seemed to be in a good mood.Charles followed with a plate of pumpkin pie. When he saw the child in Noelle's arms, his expression softened.Noelle was softly touching Seth's cheek. When she saw Charles and Sean enter, she smiled and said, "Oh, it's just girl talk. That's not something for you guys to worry about.""Okay!" Charles nodded and walked over with the pumpkin pie. He cut a couple of slices and handed them to Noelle. "Margaret said this was okay for you to eat!" Then he gave the rest to Seth.At first, Seth was shy around Charles and seemed too nervous to speak. However, after seeing Noelle and Kelly's encouraging glances, he reached out, took a slice, and popped it into his mouth.The pie must have been delicious because after Seth finished one slice, he could not resist reaching for another, though he still looked at Charles cautious

Kelly was a bit surprised initially, but then she got what Sean was asking and nodded. "Sure. We can do it anytime!""Great. Come with me for a bit!"When Sean whispered something to Kelly and she started to leave, Noelle stopped them. "What's happening?""Oh, I'm just taking Kelly to the lab to check on something. Don't worry," Sean explained to Noelle. "Kelly is your real sister, and her blood type is a perfect match for yours."Noelle looked at Kelly with mixed feelings. "Kelly, the truth is...""Don't worry. Charles, can you please watch Seth for a little while? I'll be back in no time!" Kelly said as she gently caressed Seth's cheek. "Seth, I'm going to run some errands with your uncle, okay? You stay here and have fun with your aunt and uncle Charles, alright?""Mommy, where are you going?""Just to the hospital. I'll return before you know it!" Kelly gave Seth's cheek a soft squeeze. "I've got my phone with me. If you miss me, just give me a call!""Alright!"Once Seth

Autumn had painted Brookville in shades of gold and crimson when Noelle Shaw stepped off the plane. She grabbed her suitcase and walked out into the crisp air, a familiar sense of home wrapping around her.A whole year had passed since she left to pursue a corporate training program overseas, and now, she was back just in time.Her third anniversary with her boyfriend Xavier Harris was just days away, and she had been working nonstop to make it back early enough to surprise him.She hailed a cab and headed straight for Xavier's office. The moment she walked through the front doors, Alice, the receptionist, gave her a look of total shock. "Ms. Shaw? You’re back? Are you here for the CEO's engagement party?"Noelle's brow creased in confusion. "The CEO's engagement party? What are you talking about, Alice?""It's Mr. Harris's engagement party with your sister!""What?" Noelle's heart skipped a beat, and the happiness drained from her face. "Whose engagement party?"Alice seemed to

Kelly did not sleep well all night. Her mind felt muddled, as if someone had stuffed it with incomprehensible thoughts.She kept ruminating about her origins and her relationships with Noelle, Harrison, and the others.In her dream, the connections between people were unclear. She did not even know what she was trying to accomplish, yet every face appeared vividly.She saw Noelle, Grant, Harrison, and Shirley. Their images flickered in and out of her dream like fleeting shadows, disappearing as quickly as they had come.She tried desperately to follow in their footsteps, but no matter how fast she ran, they moved too quickly. Watching their figures grow more distant, Kelly felt as though she was trapped in a dense fog, unable to escape.Then, as she ran faster, she saw Seth. He stood shyly in the mist, waving at her and calling out softly, "Mommy."Her heart swelled with joy, and she ran toward him. However, as she drew closer, Seth disappeared, and in his place stood a tall, imp

Kelly's fists clenched and loosened repeatedly, the process repeating several times. The silence in the hospital room was so oppressive it seemed to echo in her ears.After a long pause, she finally took a deep breath and said, "It's too late today, but I'll come to the hospital tomorrow morning for the blood tests.""Alright."Charles' expression softened slightly."But you need to promise me one condition."Kelly seemed to have thought deeply about it. After a long pause, she finally said, "Seth is my life.""Alright."Kelly laughed. In the quiet hospital room, her laughter was not loud, but it was enough to make Charles turn and look at her.Kelly looked back at Charles, her lips trembling slightly. "Sometimes, I really envy Noelle. She has a man who loves her so deeply. But Charles, does she know the side of you with blood on your hands?"Charles narrowed his eyes. "She doesn't, and she doesn't need to."Kelly laughed again, lowering her head to hide the loneliness in her
