The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1504

Sheryl hesitated for a moment.

Just as she guessed before, Lancy had a troubled past and it concerned another person.

She took a deep breath to calm down and told herself to not get too excited because she was so close to finding out the truth. If she could figure out Lancy and her troubled past, it might just help her.

Sheryl finally made up her mind. "You're so brave for willing to give up your own life for someone else's. I admire you so much, but isn't there a way to help the both of you?"

Lancy burst into laughter. "It's always easier said than done. You have no idea what I've done for him. I spent my entire life trying to save him, but they told me that there was no hope anymore. He's not going to survive. Can you imagine how I felt? How could they decide on a human life just like that? I can't take it. I just can't..."

She repeated it in a voice that only she herself could hear, and the expression on her face could make anyone believe that she was going to die. But the next second, her eyes came to life again and she fixed her eyes at Sheryl, saying bitterly, "It's all your fault. You and your kind are responsible for all of these. You got so much money in your pocket, but you refused to just take a little of that to help him when he was still getting treated and it wasn't too late yet. If you'd only helped him, he wouldn't have wasted time and he probably would've survived!"

Sheryl held her breath, afraid to trigger her.

Sheryl had figured that the man Lancy was talking about was probably just a few breaths away from dying and Lancy had been the one to take the burden throughout the man's illness. But she just couldn't agree with the idea that she would murder another person just so she could save her partner.

"I don't think he's going to be very happy if he finds out that you want to kill an innocent woman just to save his life." Sheryl chose her words very carefully.

Lancy's pupils dilated, when she spoke. She raised her voice and said, "Yes, he won't. He's such a nice person, the nicest I've ever known. You won't understand how much he means to me, and how much we love each other. I can't live without him. Oh, I can't!"

By then, Sheryl had already learned the whole story. Lancy's boyfriend was sick, but they couldn't afford the treatment, and he was dying now. Someone asked her to set Sheryl up in exchange for her boyfriend's treatment. Since she didn't succeed, her boyfriend wouldn't get the treatment. She was now choosing to die rather than have to live without her boyfriend.

Sheryl then realized how much Lancy hated her and this world. She racked her brain trying to come up with an idea to save her life. She also wondered who was behind all this, and who asked Lancy to frame her in the first place.

She was at the ends of her wits and getting more and more anxious. Suddenly, she heard Phoebe looking for her.

"Ms. Xia! Ms. Xia! Show this video to her!"

Sheryl turned to look at Phoebe, who was waving a phone at her a few steps away.

'Does Phoebe have something that can help me out?' she wondered.

"Don't move! I don't want you playing any tricks on me. Your life is in my hands now," Lancy threatened.

She'd already embraced death as if it was right there in front of her so nothing frightened her anymore.

"Lancy, it's me. Thank you for all the things you've done for me. I'm a lucky man to have you, and I'm sorry to put you through this. I know there isn't much time left for me. I'm not scared of going to another world, but I can't just leave like that because of you.

Look, you've suffered so much for me, and I hope you can live a peaceful, happy life when I leave. Meet someone, get married and have kids with him. Then I can rest in peace. Please promise me you will, and this is my last wish in this world…"

Lancy widened her eyes in disbelief. She hurriedly turned around and found that it was Phoebe playing a video. There was a man talking, and it was her Jarvis. She took a deep breath and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Lancy, don't do anything stupid. Just let it go. Everything will be fine if you let go. I'll always be with you," Jarvis said on the video.

"Don't listen to them, Jarvis. Things aren't as they seem. I didn't do anything stupid, and I'm doing my best to save you. Please don't get mad at me!" Lancy cried. She needed to clarify things.

Jarvis was a gentle and decent man. Back when they were still young, Jarvis would get mad at her if she did something wrong and refused to take responsibility for it. One time, he didn't talk to her for half a month.
