The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1043

Peggy's hands and legs were both tied up, but that didn't stop her from being aggressive in hurling hateful words against Sue. She continued to scold her. And because she was an elder, no one came forward to try to shut her up.

Her beloved son, Allen, kept begging Sue and Anthony to let him go, but his pleading was left ignored. Sensing that they had no intention of releasing him, he lost his patience and started cursing his sister.

The ruckus created by the mother and son duo did not sit well with Anthony's current state as it aggravated more his throbbing headache.

And he couldn't endure it anymore. As soon as Peggy was done speaking some harsh words towards Sue, he snapped, strode forward and punched Allen hard in the face.

"What are you doing?" Peggy screeched as she witnessed her son's head jerked to the side. Fear gripped her heart when she saw Allen spitting out a mouthful of blood. Looking daggers at Anthony, she wailed indignantly, "What's wrong with you? Why did you hit Allen?"

She helplessly glued her eyes on Allen. "He is defenseless, but you struck him. You are a demon," she reproached. As Allen's face twisted in pain and beads of sweat formed on his forehead, Peggy went into a panic.

Taking a cold look at the anxious mother, Anthony cautioned, "Auntie, it doesn't matter if you don't like Sue. But let me remind you that she is going to be my wife and that she is carrying my child. If I hear you curse her again, I will see to it that Allen will bear the consequences. Don't you love your son best? If you don't want to see him suffer, then you should better show some respect to Sue."

"You..." Peggy gnashed her teeth as her face fumed in anger. She had no choice but to shut up.

Not long after, Anthony and Andy herded the mother and son out, and Sue trailed carefully behind them. However, Sheryl at that time was waiting together with Charles beside their car. She was restless and nervous but relief washed over her upon seeing the pregnant woman coming her way. Sheryl dashed forward and held her hand, examining her closely from head to toe, and then she anxiously probed her, "Are you all right?"

"I am fine," Sue replied with a reassuring smile. "Why are you here?"

"I was worried about you," Sheryl replied with a frown. "Anthony barely slept for two consecutive days to find you. He was afraid that something horrible might happen to you..."

Sue was deeply touched. 'I am so lucky to have them at this lifetime—my best friend, Sheryl and my love, Anthony, ' she mused delightedly.

"Sher, I hope you can do me a favor..." Anthony reluctantly managed to say after some time.

"I am listening," Sheryl prodded at him. "What is it?"

"I am concerned about Sue's health. Please take her to the hospital. I will meet you there right after I send them to the police station," Anthony replied with knotted brows.

"Okay," Sheryl agreed without any hesitation. 'Sue is pregnant now. It's better to get her a pre-natal check-up, ' she pondered.

Seeing how worried Anthony looked, Sue reached out for his hand and asserted, "I am fine. How about I come with you?"

"I don't think it's a good idea," Anthony firmly declined. "Don't you believe me? Are you afraid that I might hurt them?"

"No, don't get me wrong. I..." Sue tried to explain but, her words faltered. After what Peggy and Allen had done to her, she took no pity on them. She was just worried about Anthony's physical condition.

"Good. Go with Sher," Anthony returned with a warm smile. Holding on to Sue's hand, he added softly, "I will be with you shortly after I take care of those things."
