The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1227

Inside the car, Bob turned around to look at his boss. Catching his attention from the corner of his eye, he saw the shadow of a figure lingering behind the car for a while.

Looking at his boss, Bob was about to inform him about the person behind their car. However, he didn't and only managed to glance at his boss with a worried look on his face. What he was concerned about most was his Nick's health condition. Regardless of the fact that the doctor had cleared him to leave the hospital, he still remained worried.

"Mr. Ge, given that you've just been released from the hospital, I will drive you home immediately. I don't think that now is the right time to discuss work," Bob said with a frown. He felt extremely anxious, as he didn't know whether his boss would listen to him or not.

"That's fine, thank you. Bob, please drive me home." Nick understood exactly what Bob was worried about and nodded with a smile.

Nick's words put Bobs' mind at ease.

Bob drove the car at a steady speed, as he was still worried about Nick's condition.

After driving for an hour, they finally reached Nick's house.

Dropping Nick off at his house, Bob reminded Nick to call him whenever he needed assistance.

Nick felt sorry for Bob, as he had to work over time in the past days. Hence, he asked him to return to work and get off work on time.

When Bob left, Nick was sitting alone in the living room.

His mind was full and he was very upset.

He continued to think about everything that happened, particularly about the incident when he risked his life to complete his project and fulfill his dream. He sat down, acknowledging his stupidity for a while.

If there was one thing he learned from his mistakes, however, it was that he had to cherish his time spent alive and healthy more than before. His health was his top priority.

His wandering thoughts were interrupted by the ringing sound of his phone. Looking at the caller ID, he saw that it was Sheryl calling.

Nick picked up the phone. An intrigued smile appeared on his face.

"Sher, why are you calling me at this hour?" Nick thought Sheryl called him for business, as neither Sheryl nor Isla was informed about him being released from the hospital.

"Nick, when are you leaving the hospital? Please let me know. Isla and I will come and pick you up," Sheryl said over the phone with a slight giggle.

Nick felt moved by her concern towards him. He answered, "That's okay. It's not necessary. You are really busy Sheryl. I don't want to bother you anymore. I was released from the hospital today."

"What?" Sheryl sounded surprised. "Why didn't you inform us?"

"Well, the truth is, I'm nearly all recovered. I can even go back to work tomorrow. Well, once I settle my business, of course, I'd like to invite you and Isla to dinner."

"Really? Well, we'd love to. However, you've just left the hospital. You need to take care of yourself first before diving back into your work," Sheryl kindly reminded Nick on the phone.

"Yes, I know. You can rest assured. I will."

Nick hung up the phone. Nick's mind continued to race with thoughts as he held the phone in his hand.

He headed towards the bathroom slowly, hoping to clear his mind and sober up after taking a hot shower. Perhaps he could calm down before tackling his workload.
