The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1434

Lillian and Felix stood at the door, hugging each other. None of them spoke a word. She didn't want to face reality yet, so she remained silent. She didn't want to break the peace and warmth that she was feeling right now.

But Felix didn't feel the same way. He was bidding her farewell deep inside. His eyes were icy but she couldn't see them as they were standing in the darkness.

"You're finally here! I've been waiting for you so long! I did what you asked me to do, but just as I was about to do it, I was caught. I'm so scared. What are we going to do, Felix?"

She coughed and sobbed as she tried to desperately cling on to Felix for help. To her, no one else could save her. She leaned her head against his chest.

"Don't worry. I'm just here. I just finished an operation. That's why I was so late. Don't cry anymore. I know you went through a lot. It's okay. It's going to be okay. Don't worry. We're going to survive this. I'll figure out a way."

Felix chose his words carefully. If Lillian wasn't hysterical, she must have noticed that something was different with Felix. But she was too busy breaking down to notice anything.

He pulled her arm off as he didn't want to stand by the doorway anymore. He then turned around to lock the door close.

Lillian realized that it was dark so she scrambled for the switch but just as she was about to flick the lights open, Felix stopped her.

"Don't turn on the lights. You just cried so your eyes might still be extra sensitive."

Felix didn't want Lillian to turn the lights on because he needed the darkness to do what he needed to do so he made up some excuse to keep the lights off.

Lillian wasn't suspicious at all. She just figured that Felix was being sweet to her. She even felt lucky and happy that Felix cared about her that much.

"Okay, I won't turn on the lights. Be careful, okay? You might trip." She then grabbed his hand as they walked towards the living room.

"Lillian, be honest with me. Did you tell anyone what we were going to do to Sheryl?"

Felix needed some assurance or he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Fortunately, he received the answer he was hoping for. She shook her head and said, "No, of course not. I know that's something serious. Why would I tell anyone that? I don't even want to think what would happen if anyone found out. Don't worry. I'm also looking out for both of us. I didn't tell anyone."

Felix let out a sigh of relief—now there was no need to worry. Things were less complicated now that he knew that she didn't tell anyone. Leila was right—once he got rid of Lillian, this secret would die along with her.

"But I didn't end up doing it. I was caught. She has proof and she's going to tell the police. We can elope to another country. As long as we're not here, she won't be able to do anything to us and we can live our life together away from all of this."

In Felix's mind, he mocked Lillian for proposing such a silly idea. She was naive for thinking that was a viable plan. They would get caught before they even got to the airport.

In addition to that, even if they were lucky enough to be able to escape to another country, would they really live happily together? It wouldn't be just as simple as that. It would just be the start of a long and complicated process. They wouldn't even be legal migrants there. They would still live their lives in fear of getting caught.
