The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1503

Sheryl reached the doorway to the roof. Phoebe dashed towards her and whispered, "Ms. Xia, Lancy insisted on meeting you. Please be careful!"

"I got this," Sheryl said and glanced towards Lancy who was standing at the edge of the roof.

There were several police officers around Lancy, but they kept a safe distance from her. Every time someone drew closer, she would scream and threaten to jump. So, nobody dared to approach her.

"Miss Lan, please stay calm. Don't be irrational. Nothing is more important than your own life. You are in grave danger now. If you have any problems, please talk to us. Get off the edge. Stay with us!" one of the policewomen said to Lancy, trying to persuade her out of suicide.

As a police officer, she had encountered similar situations many times. But Lancy was the craziest one she had ever come across.

Before the police had reached the location, they had a general idea about Lancy's case. As far as they knew, the injury on her face wasn't severe at all. They didn't understand why she would choose to give up her own life for such a trivial issue.

Lancy was untouched by their pleas. She stared at the people around her with crazy eyes and a contorted face.

"Bring Sheryl here. I must meet her now. Go and get her!" Lancy muttered slowly at first, and then started yelling at the police.

The officers looked at each other in speechless despair. Left with no other choice, they decided to comply with her wish.

If they did anything to piss her off, she might end up jumping off the roof.

"Ms. Xia, what should we do? She keeps asking for you," Phoebe said in a worried tone.

Sheryl was well aware of the situation at that moment. She was confused as to why Lancy insisted on meeting her at the cost of her life.

Was she some kind of sworn enemy to Lancy without even realizing it? Or did Lancy have a bigger plan that required her presence?

Anyhow, she decided not to be a coward and hide behind other people. Even if Lancy meant to put her in trouble, she couldn't find it in herself to see a life perish in front of her.

Sheryl tugged at Phoebe's arm.

"Could you hold on to my phone? I'll try to soothe Lancy. If anyone calls, please answer the phone for me," Sheryl said calmly. She quickly gave the phone to Phoebe.

She figured that Charles might call her. If she answered the phone while talking to Lancy, it would only stimulate her even more. If she ignored it, Charles would worry unnecessarily.

Phoebe looked at her with concern and asked, "Ms. Xia, do you really have to do this? There are so many police officers here. Why don't we just leave it to them? Let the police try to save her."

"No. She asked to meet me, right? She won't give up until I show up," Sheryl said. Then she took a deep breath and proceeded towards Lancy.

At that same time, Charles, who was driving fast to the hospital, received a message.

He took a brief look at it, and then his creased eyebrows relaxed a bit. It was an important message.

And it was just in time!

On the roof deck, a few seconds after Sheryl walked towards Lancy, her cell phone rang in Phoebe's hand.

She looked at the screen, and saw that it was from Charles.

Phoebe hesitated for a few seconds, but finally decided to answer it.

"Hello, Mr. Lu," she greeted.

"Where is Sheryl?" Charles asked anxiously.
