The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1148

When the director of the hospital received Charles' call, he accepted his request immediately in a humble tone. It only took him a few minutes to come to Nancy's ward. "Mr. Lu, you didn't have to come here for such a trifle matter. I would have arranged everything for Nancy if you had just called me earlier," he addressed with a flattering smile.

He wasted no time trying to suck up to Charles.

"I asked you to prepare a better ward. Is it ready?" Charles cut to the chase, oblivious to his flattery.

"Rest assured, Mr. Lu. We have prepared the best VIP ward available and Nancy would be transferred to that room right away. Besides, I have our best medical team on stand by, and they will do a general check-up on her to figure out what had happened to her," the director beamed.

Then he told the medical team outside the ward, "Come in and meet Mr. Lu."

The team entered the ward instantly. With a smile, they bowed to Charles and greeted him in chorus, "Good evening, Mr. Lu."

"If your only focus is on how to please others, then I have serious doubts about the future of your hospital," Charles snapped in a defiant tone. Since some doctors and nurses had spoken ill of Sheryl, he was very upset with the medical workers of the hospital. The longer he looked at them, the more annoying he found them to be.

Charles' statement aroused the director's anxiety. He had no idea what was on the CEO's mind. If they ended up offending him, he knew that it would be a disaster for his hospital.

"What are you waiting for? Transfer the patient to the VIP ward!" Charles shouted at the confused medical team.

"Yes! Transfer the patient immediately. Hurry up!" the director urged, gesturing to his employees to take quick action.

"Yes, Sir," they nodded as they approached Nancy's bed.

A few minutes later, Nancy had been transferred to the VIP room. After she had received a full check-up, Charles took Sheryl and the children back home. Before leaving, he gave Ben a sum of money which was more than enough for him to pay off his mortgage and lead a comfortable life.

When Ben saw the check, he burst into tears of joy.

He didn't know when Nancy would wake up. But he could solve all his financial problems with the money he had received.

The couple returned to Dream Garden. After Sheryl gave a bath to Clark and Shirley, the two kids fell asleep the moment they climbed onto bed. They had had a tough day and they were exhausted.

Sheryl left the children's room and retired to their bedroom. However, she didn't see Charles in there. She went straight to the study and spotted her husband fixing the desktop monitor which he had brought from the Beauty Mountain Villa.

"It's late, Charles. Aren't you coming to bed?" Sheryl asked with knitted brows. She felt sorry for him as she watched him try his best to make the monitor work.

She knew that he couldn't tolerate all those fake videos and rumors about her, and that was why he was trying to fix the monitor at such an odd hour.

'Although he doesn't say anything out loud, it must have been a blow to him. After all, he is the CEO of Shining Company, the biggest enterprise of this city.
