The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1381

With Sheryl's life hanging in the balance, Charles recalled all the things that he had done to her and how he had failed Sheryl's love. He hung his head low and felt deeply remorseful. Charles regretted not treating Sheryl better and not telling her how important she was to him.

'Sher, please don't give up! Please live for me!' Charles prayed silently.

If she pulled through this, Charles would ensure that they lived the rest of their lives happily together. He would never let Sheryl be exposed to any harm or injustice again. No matter what, he would stand in front of her to protect her from all evil.

Now that Charles might lose Sheryl, he realized that she was the most import person in his world. Without her, he would live with a dead heart.

Time trickled by, and every second was like a year to Charles. Charles was tortured by sorrow and depression every second because he didn't know what was happening to his precious Sheryl.

The longer he waited, the more anxious Charles had become. He was overwhelmed with grief that he hallucinated Sheryl standing before him with a smile on her face. She told him gently that it was only a nightmare and that she was safe and sound.

Sitting on a chair, Melissa was playing games on her cell phone to while away the time. She glanced up and noticed the anguish and despair on Charles' face. He was her son, and it broke her heart to see him so sad and depressed.

She patted Charles on the shoulder and pretended to feel the same way as Charles. "Charles, I know you're worried about her. We must believe the doctors will try their best to save her life. Come on. Sit down, and have some rest."

Charles wasn't in the mood to deal with Melissa now. All that he cared about at this point was Sheryl.

Melissa opened her mouth to say something else, but Charles cut her off and said callously, "If Sher doesn't survive, I'll find out by any means possible what happened to her, and the people who hurt Sher will suffer greatly for it!"

Charles had never looked so fearful as he did now. His expression was cold and determined, and his eyes were filled with hate and vengefulness.

When Leila heard it, a cold shiver ran up Leila's spine, and her hands began to tremble with fear. She slipped them into her pockets so no one could see them shaking. Then she bowed her head down, biting her lip hard, afraid that Charles would notice her nervousness.

Contrary to the calm expression on the exterior, her mind was overtaken by fear. She prayed silently, 'Sheryl, please survive. I dare not do it again!'

She hoped that her prayers would be answered and Sheryl would survive.

Melissa curled her lip in a show of disdain and said, "This is just a symptom derived from her illness. The family doctor checked on her, and you know that. There is no one to blame for what has happened to her."

She wondered if Charles had lost his mind from worrying about Sheryl. Melissa was shocked by his accusation. She didn't believe that someone could be that vicious to do anything sinister to Sheryl and decided that he was overthinking it all due to the stress.

Charles lifted his head and stared emotionless at Melissa. "I'm afraid you're wrong. Sher is undergoing an operation and fighting for her life. You say it was just because of the cold from the other day?"

Melissa was rendered speechless and remained quiet. She decided that it was best not to say anything else afraid that Charles would become angry with her.

What Charles had said made perfect sense. Melissa began to give thought to everything that had happened in the past few days. 'Sheryl did only have a cold that had escalated into a fever due to her stress over Shirley. But the doctor had given her adequate treatment, and she was getting better.
