The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1928

"Nancy, do you know where Charles is going? It's already late," Leila asked, bumping into the sleepy Nancy when she went back to check the living room.

"Ms. Zhang, I am a servant. How am I supposed to know where Mr. Lu is heading to?" Nancy answered. She had just gotten up, as she felt thirsty a while earlier. Feeling confused, she scratched her head while staring at Leila with a blank expression. It was really late, and since she had no intention of helping Leila find Charles, she decided to just go back to her room.

After Nancy's retort, Leila felt pissed. Stomping her feet, she could feel her face getting red in anger. She went to find the driver but ended up finding out that David had picked Charles up, so the driver had no idea where the boss was going.

"Mr. Lu, I was surprised to get a phone call from you at this hour. Where are we going? Is there something wrong?" David asked as soon as they reached the main road. He thought it was an emergency since Charles had rang him this late.

"We are going to the hospital. I think my mother might have woken up," Charles answered briefly. Looking out the car window nervously, he gave a deep sigh. It might be his first time to feel so nervous.

Hearing that, David sped up involuntarily. The sooner they got there, the better. In no time, they reached the hospital. David pulled to a stop, and Charles got out even before he could say another word.

As soon as Charles arrived, he saw the nurse staring at her mobile phone, which was ringing in a low volume happy tune.

She was about to answer it but seeing that Charles was approaching in a hurry, she felt suddenly confused. Seeing that the nurse seemed hesitant in accepting the call, Charles asked coldly, "Who is it?"

"It's...It's Ms. Zhang."

"Remember, don't tell her anything." Looking ferocious, Charles ordered the nurse.

Frightened by Charles' reaction, the nurse nodded immediately. She took a deep breath before answering the call.

"Ms. Zhang!"

"You called me just now. What's wrong? How's Aunt Melissa doing?" Apparently, Leila had accidentally put her mobile phone on mute mode, so she had missed the nurse's call earlier. As soon as she saw the missed call, Leila decided to call her back.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you would be coming by tomorrow. I am planning to go back home if you are coming," the nurse explained, finding an excuse to stall Leila.

"I will come. If you have something to do, just go," Leila replied impatiently, hanging up before the nurse could say more.

Charles was standing beside the nurse the entire time and felt relieved that it had gone smoothly. Seeing that David just walked in behind him, Charles turned and winked at him before going out to look for the doctor.

David noticed that and nodded, letting Charles go out first.

Pulling out a check from his pocket, David approached the nurse and said, "Nurse, this is for you. I hope you can keep it a secret." David knew what Charles was worried about, so he had to make sure everything went well.

"Mr. David, don't worry about it. My lips are sealed." The nurse unfolded the check, and she stared at the amount written on it, she couldn't help smiling. Surely, that would be enough for her to keep her mouth shut?

Hearing the nurse's confirmation and seeing her pleased reaction, David relaxed and went to look for Charles.

Meanwhile, Charles saw the doctor coming out of a ward and approached him directly. "Doctor, how is my mother?" Charles asked, looking at the doctor nervously. He was hoping to hear good news, but he didn't want to expect too much.

Seeing how nervous Charles was, the doctor patted his back before he responded, "Mr. Lu, relax. Your mother is all right now. She has woken up. You can go inside and check on her."

"Really?" Charles still couldn't believe it. He was hoping for this news, but now that he heard it, it sounded like everything was just a dream.

"Absolutely. We have examined Mrs. Lu. All her test results were normal." Having Melissa wake up from a coma after so many days, the doctor thought it was a miracle in the field of medical science. As a doctor, he felt very happy.

"Okay. Thanks a lot, Doc."

"Charles, please don't blame me. I know I've been wrong. If I didn't throw the helve after the hatchet, Leila wouldn't have deceived you. It is my fault..." Finally, realizing she had trusted the wrong person, Melissa felt regretful about her previous actions.

She had thought that God had shown mercy on her, making her meet a sincere person, but beyond her expectation, Leila had just wanted to use her as a stepping stone to get near Charles.

"Mother, stop crying," Charles interrupted Melissa, in an attempt to calm her down. "Tell me exactly what happened." Seeing his mother's expression, Charles was anxious to know what had happened that day.

In between sobs, Melissa tried her best to tell him everything that had happened that day, but whenever she spoke, all her anger and regret rushed back. She was unable to hold back her feelings, and tears continued to fall from her eyes.

Hearing his mother's story, Charles also couldn't help but tremble in anger. He clenched his fists, and the bones in his fingers could be seen clearly.

"How is Sheryl doing now?"

"Mother, I have divorced Sher."

"Ah, I can see now that Leila had all of us played according to her plan. When we were in prison, she got close to me intentionally, knowing of my relationship with you. She framed Sheryl." Melissa couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned her name. "Sheryl is a good girl. Don't make her sad..." Melissa believed that if it wasn't for her, Sheryl would have lived happily with Charles earlier. She felt really guilty that she had been an instrument in ruining the couple's relationship.

Trying hard to pull up a smile, Charles wiped the tears from Melissa's cheeks before saying, "Mother, don't worry. I will deal with everything. I have arranged everything for Sher."

"How about Leila? You shouldn't show any mercy to that woman." Melissa instructed. If she was to decide, she would like Leila killed right now. Even her death wouldn't suffice for all the trouble she had caused her family.

"Be at ease. I won't let her go without paying her dues," Charles swore to Melissa, indicating that he would never spare Leila's life.

In fact, before Melissa had even told Charles everything, he had already sent David to investigate what had happened during that day. Hearing Melissa's confessions now, had just confirmed that all the information they got from the investigation was true.
