The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1267

Charles was depressed. Watching Melissa gradually lose weight and slowly go crazy when she was emotional broke his heart.

This was his mother and the closest person to him biologically. While he loved her dearly, she always forced him to do things he didn't want to do.

It was because Melissa cried so much that Charles was affected. It liked whenever he went home to Sheryl, he brought this sadness with him. He couldn't help but be grumpy and found himself unable to say anything nice. He had to try his best not to talk much when he was at home because he didn't want to hurt anyone with his words.

Outside the ward, Sheryl was devastated.

She usually felt mentally prepared whenever she visited the hospital, but this time she felt anxious. She hadn't anticipated being so sad over Melissa telling Charles to divorce her and let her leave the house.

What made her even more upset was that from beginning to end, Charles hadn't said a single word in her defense, even though Melissa was slandering her.

Sheryl's heart sunk at the very thought. Lowering her hand with food for the patient powerlessly, she turned around and went outside. Taking a deep breath, Sheryl turned her head and glanced at the ward door. The sounds of cheerful chatting and laughing from inside the door were strident and hurtful.

Later that night, back at the villa, Danny walked quietly toward the gate. Taking out a key from his back pocket, he put it in the lock and opened the door.

He had something very important to do, so he was late. As soon as Danny entered, he immediately saw Miranda sitting on the couch, her face emotionless.

"Honey, what's wrong? You look unhappy," Danny said, with worry in his voice. Sitting down on the couch next to Miranda, he gently wrapped his arms around her.

He was good at playing the role of a considerate lover.

"Do you remember that woman Rachel Bai I mentioned to you before? She found out that we murdered my husband and then transferred the property. She even has evidence," Miranda explained. She was worried that Danny would want to escape this disaster and leave her, so she purposefully stressed the words "transferred the property."

Frightened by what he'd just heard, Danny stuttered frantically, "Then...Well... What should we do? Let's run away and go abroad. We've always wanted to move away. Why not just do it now?" He anxiously looked at Miranda, his eyes wide and tearful.

Shaking her head, she responded, "But we can't guarantee that would work. And who knows, maybe Rachel already sent someone to spy on us." Touching his shoulder calmly, Miranda tried to ease Danny's anxiety.

"I would rather deal with Rachel directly than be threatened by her. That way, no one in the world will know our secret anymore, right?" Miranda spoke softly into Danny's ear. Her lips lightly brushed his earlobe as she spoke, making him tremble.

To the outside world, a couple whispering into each other's ears would appear to be an act of love, not a plan to murder their next victim.

While Danny had stolen some money before, he had never killed anyone. Hearing Miranda's subtle suggestion, he felt a shiver go down his spine. He was absolutely terrified and shook his head immediately.
