The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1293

"It's none of your business, so you'd better go."

It was clear that Cassie said that on purpose because she wanted Nick to leave for now. After all, he had many things to deal with in his own company. Meanwhile, she would be responsible for looking after Jordan because he was hurt by Nick. She could just say something to defend Nick from Jordan and ask him to not blame Nick for beating him.

However, Nick had completely misunderstood Cassie's good intentions.

His face dimmed. He felt dead inside, but he said nothing. He thought that since the woman he loved chose to be with another man, it was useless for him to stay with them and pester her.

Nick then felt that just now he had been too impulsive. It was true that it was his fault to punch another guy when he didn't ask Cassie who she wanted to be with first.

A self-mocking smile lingered on his lips. He laughed for he had overestimated himself and acted irrationally.

When Cassie heard Nick laugh, she felt that something was wrong with him today as she gazed at his receding figure, but she couldn't exactly tell.

"Your boyfriend is gone and he seems to be upset. I think you should go and soothe him," Jordan tugged on Cassie's sleeve and said.

"Never mind. He's always like this, so you don't need to worry about him. Your wound needs to be treated as soon as possible, so let's go to the hospital right now." Cassie then supported Jordan to get into the car. After she carefully helped him sit in the passenger seat, she went to the driver's side of the car as well.

At that moment, she felt as if someone was staring at her from behind. She subconsciously turned around and looked back.

However, Cassie only saw Nick, who was in his car, looking ahead with an emotionless face. In the next second, he drove away and was gone like an arrow in the wind.

Cassie stopped looking in disappointment. She didn't get a chance to talk to Nick, so she decided to find him and make everything clear after work.

She got into the car and drove Jordan to the hospital. After a medical examination, they found that he wasn't badly hurt and there was only a small bruise. When Cassie patched him up, she suddenly realized that since Jordan got hurt, Nick must've also gotten injured during the fight.

With that thought in mind, Cassie hastened bandaging up Jordan's wound. She then told him that she had something urgent to attend to, and left without looking back.

A thoughtful expression painted Jordan's face as he watched Cassie leave quickly.

On the other hand, Cassie continued to walk until she reached a quiet corner, and then she took her phone out and called Nick. She waited for a while but no one answered her call.

She didn't want to give up calling him, but only the busy tone was heard from the other end.

Her eyes gazed at the street as she wondered if Nick was busy and couldn't answer the phone. After she thought about it for a moment, Cassie decided to find Nick after work instead and see what was up with him.

A few hours later when it was time to get off work, Cassie finally got ready to leave. However, she was suddenly informed that she had to be on duty tonight.

Her job as a nurse required overtime sometimes and that was normal, but she happened to have plans today. Her mind was filled with Nick, so she was rather upset when she heard that she had to work some more.

An idea popped into her head. She immediately approached Cora to ask to switch shifts with her today, only to find that Cora also had to work tonight.

Sadness filled Cassie and she wanted to call Nick again, but someone tugged at her sleeve.

"Well, I'll go and visit my brother later and bring him some food. Do you want to go with me?" Cora asked.

"Your brother?" Cassie froze in an instant. "Isn't he home yet?"

"Who told you that he was home? He's in the hospital. You're so ungrateful. He was jealous and fought for you against another guy. How could you just forget him?"
