The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1024

"Mom, step aside!" Allen knitted his brows. He shouted ferociously, "I have to teach this bitch a lesson today!"

"I said No!" Peggy refused resolutely and suddenly stood in front of Sue. At that moment Sue was actually touched that her mother was trying to protect her and her baby. However, in the very next moment, Peggy's words made her reconsider.

After Peggy stopped Allen, she reasoned with him, "You can't do that. The baby in her belly is still useful to us. If you hurt her or the baby and provoke Anthony, who could help us out?"

Seeing that Allen was still staring at Sue with nothing but malice in his eyes, she took his hands in hers and comforted him, "My son, listen to me. The priority for us now is to escape. Calm down. Don't be reckless!"

"But mom, don't you see, she is so..."

"No, don't argue with me any more!" Peggy interrupted him angrily and ended the conversation. "She is only useful if she is unharmed. Would Antony still treasure her if she loses the baby? You can't hurt her, you fool!"

Sue had thought that Peggy cared about her because she was her daughter. However, Peggy only cared whether she was useful for them.

Sue laughed at herself for being so foolish that she actually thought Peggy would ever love her. Peggy turned around to Sue and threatened, "I warn you, make the preparations soon. Otherwise... don't blame me when I hurt you. You know what I'm capable of! In that case, I can't guarantee that your baby will be safe or not!"

"Don't you dare threaten my baby!" Sue yelled at her with all her strength. All of this excitement had worn her out. Her face was completely drained of all color..

"Just try it!" Peggy sneered. She dashed forward and grabbed Sue's bag, and then took all the money she had in it. "I warn you, give me all the things that I require. If you don't, I will come to you again!" After Peggy finished, she was ready to leave with Allen.

"Hey, stop right there!" Sue was trying to stop them from escaping, when suddenly Anthony's panicked voice rose outside the door, "Sue, where are you? Sue?"

"Anthony is coming. Let's go! Hurry up!" Peggy commanded as she pulled Allen's sleeve. She reminded Sue again, "Prepare everything I need soon. Don't make me wait long! I don't have any patience!"

Then they left quickly. Sue wanted to stop them but she was too weak that she fell to the floor, staring at them leaving helplessly. Soon enough, Anthony entered the room and found her lying on the floor. He dashed to her as soon as he saw her. "Sue, how are you feeling now? Are you hurt?" he asked anxiously.

"My... my stomach hurts a little," Sue answered feebly. Anthony was so worried about her. He helped her up immediately and took her in his arms. Luckily they were in the hospital now, so Anthony took her to the doctor as fast as he could.

After a series of tests, the doctor confirmed that Sue was just a little emotionally unstable, and the baby was fine.

"You must be careful from this point forward. She must stay relaxed," the doctor reminded Anthony.

"Yes, yes, Doctor. We'll be more careful in the future," Anthony assured repeatedly. After the doctor left, Anthony walked up to Sue's bed.

His face was long and sullen.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly look like half-dead? Didn't I tell to to wait for me?" Anthony questioned Sue with a seriousness she could feel.

"I'm fine. I just took a walk. I felt dizzy all of a sudden and I didn't know what happened. I just want to rest now." Sue was lying in the bed, unwilling to tell him anything more. She tried to smile, but could not cover up her look of anxiety.

"Are you still trying to hide something from me? Even now? I have a right to know!" Anthony couldn't help feeling angry towards Sue. He knitted his brows and pursed his lips bitterly. "Sue, we are going to be married soon. I'm your husband, and the father of your baby. I know what you didn't tell me. The two people were your brother and your mother, right? But don't forget what they have done! I really don't understand, why you are trying to protect them now! After everything that they've done!"
