The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1430

With a deep sigh, Black patted Holley's shoulders to comfort her. Despite his fury, he calmed himself down and sincerely said, "Don't worry, Holley. I won't let this pass. I'll make him pay double what he had done to do! Trust me!"

"You will do that? You're so sweet, Black! It's nice to have you around," said Holley gently with a sweet smile and rested her head on Black's shoulder intimately. She was lucky to have this kind of guy with her, who was willing to push all his might for her.

"Goose! You should be used to it! I am your boyfriend. It's my job to take care of you!" Black whispered into her ear. As she heard Black's sweet comment, it made Holley get goose bumps. He cracked a silly smile and pinched her nose as if she was a little girl who just lost her favorite doll. Feeling warm, Holley flashed a shy smile and diverted her gaze elsewhere.

While in the back seat, Leila turned her head away from them with a hint of desolation in her eyes. A drop of tear welled up in her eye and fell down along her cheek like a crystal. She wondered whether she would have this moment her entire life. The man she loved and she racked her brain to be together with had never talked with or looked at her like that. Jealousy and regret were only she felt this time.

An unspeakable sorrow was rising from the bottom of her heart.

But Leila had to suffer another mishap from life, and soon the news that Sheryl survived from her well-planned plot reached her. Although the scandal that a nurse tried to murder her patient was held back by the hospital, as a doctor, Felix had his own source to get what had happened at first place. Anxiety and panic attacked him, as his career and life were at stake. However, anger possessed him as he thought that everything was messed up.

"Damn it! We're doomed! What should we do now?

What if everything was revealed? If they know, we'll have to end up in prison! And my career is over! I might go crazy!"

Felix shouted anxiously over the phone. He was sweating already, so he harshly wiped his forehead. He couldn't help but grab his hair because of too much frustration.

It was too late for him to be regretful. After all, it was he himself that agreed to give Leila a hand. He was blinded by money and now he was at the edge of the cliff.

If the police came to Lillian, she would give him away. That was no doubt, and she was not a woman that could keep her mouth shut. Then, he would have to end up behind bars the rest of his life.

Hilariously, he was reluctant to accept the fact, but he should blame nobody but himself. He had been a young doctor with a promising future ahead, and he destroyed it with his own hand, because of his hungry obsession of reaping without sowing. If he could only wait for some more time to earn money, he would not end up like this, anxiously waiting for doom.

On the other side of the phone, Leila was also feeling puzzled. She had been waiting for the good news and believed that she would make it this time. She was unable to understand where had gone wrong. She had tried her utmost to make a perfect plan and it should have worked. It must be God that kept bringing extra trouble to her. This was supposed to be a perfect crime.

'Why did it fail again? Why didn't you help me, God?' she cried loudly in her mind. Now, she was blaming the Almighty for the bad results of her plan. How foolish could she be? She gasped with her eyes blood-red and shook her head repeatedly, still unable to take it. Her mind was blank, only thinking of negative things.

She didn't utter a word at first but staring at the blank wall in front fixedly. Actually, she couldn't focus on anything now. She dropped her shoulders, losing in her thought. But a moment later, she pulled herself together again and cracked a weird smile. Of course, an insane woman was not easy to tame. Leila would push through the limits to amend her plan and make it successful. There was still some time to fix things.

"Relax, Felix. It hasn't finished yet. We can get out of it as long as you do what I tell you to do," said Leila, no hint of panic in her voice. It was a now or never game for her.

Her words gave Felix the last tie to clutch on before he fell to the cliff. He cried impatiently, "What should I do, Leila? Tell me now! Tell me what I can do! I have already done the worst and I am going to pull every string that I got."

"We already got a scapegoat, didn't we? Think about it. Since we have gone this far, it will as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb. Then, we will become innocent,"

Leila said and smirked, leaving Felix to ponder about her metaphorical suggestion.

But Felix was too disturbed at this moment, and he didn't get her implied meaning. Instead, he thought that Leila was deliberately casting a mist before his eyes. He couldn't take it anymore. He was going to burst any moment now.

"Don't beat around the bush, Leila. Time is gold. My patience is running out. I knew it. I shouldn't have listened to you when you came to me. Otherwise, I was sleeping soundly without any worry now. You'd better keep it in your mind that if I'm arrested by the police, you will be the next!" Felix couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs. His anger was furiously rising as if the top of his skull was blowing off. His nerves on his forehead were visible already.

Leila put her phone a little away from her ear. The discomfited shouting from the other side was almost deafening her. She rolled her eyes and got the urge to throw her phone away. How dare him to shout at her!
