The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1405

"You can drop her off in the early hours of the morning. Very few people are up at that time. I'll text you the address later. Please be careful that no one sees you."

Benjamin was surprised by Leila's instructions. It sounded like he was stealing the kid rather than helping her.

"Fine." After a while, Benjamin gave a brief reply.

Sheryl took out her phone to call Nick during the lunch break.

Since she heard from Cassie, she was concerned about him. Besides, Nick didn't reply to her messages, which made her worry grow.

He might have been too busy to text her back. However, it was lunchtime now. Sheryl thought that Nick should have the time to check his phone.

So, she dialed Nick's number.

The phone rang and rang, but no one answered. Sheryl hung up the phone.

'What on earth is Nick doing? Hasn't he come back?' Confused, Sheryl put down her phone and decided to visit his company once she was discharged from the hospital.

She closed her eyes to take a nap, but then her phone rang.

Sheryl looked down at the screen, and it was Nick.

"Sher!" Nick greeted her sweetly, just as kindly as before.

"Nick, have you been busy lately?" asked Sheryl.

"Not really. Sher, how are you doing?"

Sheryl could tell that Nick was avoiding her question. He didn't want to talk about himself.

"I'm doing okay. Something happened a few weeks ago, and I'm in the hospital now. Cassie is taking good care of me, so you don't have to worry." Sheryl hesitated before she decided to mention Cassie. She wanted to see how Nick would react.

Nick remained silent for a while. Then, he asked with concern in his voice, "Sher, you're in the hospital? Are you sick? Is it serious?"

"Nothing, it's just…Not a big deal, anyway. I'm worried about you. Did something happen to you? If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask for help. You know I've got your back."

Nick paused before he continued, "I… I just got back from work. I feel a little tired, Sher. I will visit you tomorrow."

"Don't bother. You'd better take care of yourself and the business. I'm doing great. Don't worry."

"No, I have to visit you. You're like my sister, Sher. What kind of a brother will I be if I don't visit my sister when she's in the hospital?" Nick was determined, and he continued, "Sher, I have a meeting later. Gotta go. Take care of yourself!"

"I will, you too."

Sheryl held her phone after she hung up. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't mention anything about the problems that had been bothering her in the past few days.

She didn't call Nick to ask him how he was doing. Her main purpose was to ask him about his relationship with Cassie. Did they have a misunderstanding? Otherwise, why would Nick keep ignoring Cassie?

Although nothing sounded wrong with Nick, Sheryl could feel that something was bothering him, and it was hard for him to pour out his heart.

It seemed that Nick and Cassie needed to have a face-to-face talk. After all, it was better for them to work out their problems for themselves. Nobody knew better than them what exactly happened. Only if they opened up to each other could they settle their issues. Knowing that Cassie and Nick were bickering disturbed Sheryl.
