The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1201

The nurse took the phone from Nick, put her phone number and name in it, and then handed it back. "Now you have my name and number. You can call me if you need help."

Looking at his phone, Nick was about to say something, but Isla replied for him, "Rest assured. I'll let him call you."

"Thank you, Isla," the nurse said sweetly, overjoyed by Isla's statement.

"You're welcome. He's very lucky to have your heart," Isla whispered in the girl's ear. Pulling back, Isla flashed the nurse a reassuring smile to show her that she would do everything in her power to unite the couple.

"Thank you, Isla. I'll treat you to a meal sometime," the nurse gushed with a beaming smile.

"Oh, there's no need. If you have time, you can go to Nick's house and cook for him instead," Isla said, winking at the nurse. Stealing a glance at Nick, Isla looked back at the young girl and said, "We should go. Keep in touch."

"Okay. I will," the nurse returned, nodding her head eagerly.

The three got back to Isla's car. When Isla started the engine and drove away, Sheryl, who was in back seat, broke the silence. "It's so good to be young," she sighed.

"Love has nothing to do with age. If you want it, you could have lots of suitors. But you only love Charles and you'll never give another guy a second's worth of attention," Isla teased.

She thought Sheryl had made peace with Charles for it had been a while since they had caught him with Rachel alone at Lavender Bar.

However, Sheryl remained silent. It was true that she wouldn't fall in love with anyone else other than Charles. But she wasn't sure whether if he felt the same way.

Nick's house wasn't far from the hospital and it took Isla less than twenty minutes to drive there. Nick and his colleague had originally rented the condo, but the man now lived there alone.

Back then, Nick had some money so he chose a fully furnished apartment in a well-equipped housing estate with lots of green space. When the three got out of the car and entered Nick's condo, Sheryl and Isla glanced around. It had three rooms and a living hall. To their surprise, the apartment was clean and tidy.

This made the two women even more fond of their young friend.

"Sheryl, Isla, my place is a little small. Please make yourself at home and have a seat," the young man said as he scratched his head. Something suddenly occurred to him. "Oh, what would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."

"Your home is lovely, Nick. I'll have some water, thank you," Isla replied with an approving smile.

"Did you check that nurse's number? What's her name?" Sheryl asked with interest.

"Not yet," Nick replied honestly.

"You should check it out. We don't know her name yet. She's pretty and she's into you," Isla urged eagerly.

"Oh, jeez. Why are you women so big on gossip? You two are already married and have children, but you act like teenage girls interested in someone else's personal life," Nick snapped with a blush.

"It has nothing to do with age. Go check it now," Isla said impatiently. She wouldn't let the topic go.

Resigned, Nick pulled out his cell phone, unlocked the screen and discovered that the nurse's name was Cassie.
