The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1359

Then Ricky received a phone call from Nancy. He didn't dare delay for a second and rushed to Dream Garden immediately.

"Doctor, please come up to see what has happened to Mrs. Lu. She's a high fever, and now she's in a coma." When Nancy saw the family doctor, she didn't want to waste time on small talk and directed him to Sheryl's bedroom immediately.

When Leila and Melissa heard what Nancy said, they smiled at each other with a secret understanding. Then they rushed into Sheryl's bedroom together. However, they didn't care about how Sheryl was. Instead, they took pleasure in Sheryl's misfortune.

After a careful diagnosis, Ricky explained that Sheryl's illness had worsened due to a virus caused by the flu, and in combination with excessive stress, she had fallen into a coma. He thought that her symptoms were serious enough and made the prompt decision to give her an intravenous injection.

The doctor didn't expect that Sheryl would take a turn for the worse and become so ill. Before he came to Dream Garden, he assumed that she just had a common cold. However, when Charles sounded so urgent over the phone, he brought drugs, injection medicines, and apparatus with him. It turned out that those all helped.

"Nancy, didn't she have a good rest these days because of worry?"

"No, she didn't. Sher has been so stressed these days. She couldn't eat or sleep. I tried to persuade her, but I failed," Nancy replied as she wiped her tears away.

Nancy's words had reminded the doctor about the latest news of the Lu family's kidnapped daughter, and he immediately understood why Sheryl had become so ill.

"It doesn't help. Her illness is very serious. Mrs. Lu needs plenty of rest, and she must cooperate with me if she wants to recover soon. You need to figure out more ways to persuade her."

Nancy kept nodding her head.

When the cold liquid medicine entered intravenously into Sheryl's body, she woke up immediately. When she opened her eyes, she found her room was full of people. When she looked around unconsciously, she felt disappointed when she didn't see Charles there.

Sheryl felt her stomach twist. She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She felt foolish for having had any expectation of Charles. Nancy surely must have told Charles that she had a fever. However, he hadn't shown up, and it was evident to Sheryl how he felt.

Although she knew it clearly, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmingly disappointed and sad.

Her eyes were empty as if she had lost her hope.

When Leila and Melissa saw Sheryl lying in bed weak, they felt delighted, especially Leila. She believed that fate was on her side. Otherwise, how else could everything be going so smoothly beyond her expectations?

She could hardly hide the happiness in her eyes. If it weren't inappropriate, she would have jumped for joy.

"Sheryl, you must take better care of yourself. You gave us all a scare. I feel so sorry for you, but I believe that you will recover soon," Leila said as she pretended to care about Sheryl. She wasn't a good actress, because anyone could see through her facade and hear no sincerity in her words.

Leila thrived on seeing how ill Sheryl looked. She wished that it would make Charles fed up with her.
