The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1196

"I see. Thank you, Doc," Melissa replied with a diplomatic smile. She was never an easygoing or polite person, but she wanted to make a good impression on her son.

"I'm flattered. I just did my job," the physician responded, pleasantly surprised. Charles was one of the shareholders of this hospital, so Melissa's modest reaction caught the doctor off guard.

Melissa nodded at the physician out of courtesy. Shifting her gaze to Charles, she said tenderly, "I'm sorry that I've taken so much of your time. I'm fine now. You should go back to your work and I'll take a taxi home."

"It's okay, Mom. I'll take you home. Don't worry about my work," Charles replied with a slight smile. Sensible women could always successfully arouse men's compassion. Melissa knew this and easily tricked her son.

Charles was clueless as he was just so happy to spend time with his mother. He found that his mother had changed and thought that it was perhaps because spending time with him turned her into a sensible mother.

As far back as he could remember, his mother had been a good, reasonable woman. But when he was a teenager, she left Dream Garden and he hadn't seen her since.

When Melissa had first disappeared, Charles often saw her in his dreams as the same gentle and kind mother he once knew.

But as time went on, he found that the dreams of her stopped. This devastated him and he felt so lost. He had almost forgotten about her when she entered his life again.

When Melissa first moved in with him, he was thrilled but a little uneasy. It had been fifteen years since she had left him and things were very different now. The years apart seemed to have formed a large gap between them.

However, regardless of what had happened and Melissa's obvious hostility towards Sheryl, she was still his mother.

Considering that Melissa needed some time to adjust when she first moved into Dream Garden, Charles had chosen to forgive her unreasonable and crazy behaviors. But it had been a while since his mother had moved in with them, and she had gotten to know all the members of the family.

Just like other mothers, Melissa started to treat the family in a more amiable and friendly manner.

Charles could sense that Melissa had learned to control her temper and hadn't gotten Sheryl into any trouble. Without having to worry about the disputes between his wife and mother, he believed that he could handle his business.

"I'm glad to hear you say so. But I really don't want to waste too much of your time since it is working hours," Melissa said, pretending to put on a worried look. She was a smart person, so she hadn't refused or accepted his offer.

"It's not a big deal, Mom. Don't worry," Charles reassured, giving his mother a smile to set her mind at ease.

"Okay," Melissa finally agreed. She was willing to spend time with her son alone, especially after she had made such a good impression on him.

"Let's get going," Charles proposed. As he advanced forward, he held Melissa's arm cautiously and led her to the door.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lu. Bye, Mrs. Lu," the physician said courteously, watching them walk out the door

with admiration.

'She is blessed to have such a good son. And he is also lucky to have the chance to repay his mother, ' he sighed.
