The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1529

In the hotel, Leila walked into her room and fell onto her bed immediately after she helped Melissa in cleaning up her mess. She had been so uptight the entire night. And now she could finally relax and have some time for herself.

Closing her eyes, she laid in bed even if she wasn't sleepy at all. She was still trying to come up with the perfect explanation so she could win Melissa's trust tomorrow.

Leila was surprised when she got the call from Holley. But it was a good opportunity for Leila to make up with Melissa.

Leila knew Melissa very well. She would be grateful since she helped her. But how long would that appreciation last? Probably a couple of hours. This thought made Leila laugh. She looked down at such kind of person.

A few days later, Melissa would totally forget what Leila had done for her. Just like when she kicked Leila out of the Lu family. No matter what Leila said, Melissa wouldn't change her mind. And when Leila asked for her help after that day, Melissa ignored her calls and messages, totally putting away the fact that Leila had helped her when she was in prison. Melissa was a selfish woman. She only cared about her personal interest and she never returned favors.

Therefore, Leila needed to seize this opportunity. Not only did she need to win Melissa's trust, but she also needed to force Melissa into taking her back to the Lu family, the sooner, the better. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.

Opening her eyes again, Leila got lost in thought as she stared at the ceiling.

Since she got locked in the little dark room, Melissa had been anxious and nervous. Waking up from a nightmare from time to time, she couldn't sleep well the entire night. Her eyes were wide open and beads of sweat poured all over her forehead, as she tried to catch her breath.

What was worse, her stomach was growling, reminding her that she hadn't eaten for a long time. It was torturing her.

Melissa was upset and frustrated. Comparing her situation now, she felt like the days back in prison were way better. At least, back then she felt safe. Now, she had no idea what would come at her. It made her afraid and worried.

Melissa's mind was muddled. She wished that someone would come to save her and she swore to herself that she would do her best to return the favor and forever be grateful. She prayed constantly, wondering whether God could hear her.

Melissa stared at the ceiling, and then she closed her eyes. She had been in the darkness for such a long time that she couldn't even tell whether it was day or night. Her eyes were already dry and swollen. She rubbed them carelessly.

Just then, Melissa heard some noises from outside the door, which was unbelievable. She wondered if she was hallucinating.

But she heard the noise again.

Someone opened the door from the outside and walked in.

Instinctively, Melissa looked at the door, trying to figure out who it was. She opened her mouth but no sound came out, as if something was stuck in her throat.

Fear and anxiety crept on her as Melissa looked at the person who walked towards her. The person noticed Melissa's anxiety and confusion, but he didn't dare to explain. Moving silently, he took the handcuffs off Melissa's hands and dragged her out of the room violently.

Melissa had no other option but to follow, confusion flashing across her face. 'Are they setting me free?' Melissa wondered. 'But I haven't even asked anyone to save me.' Melissa shook her head as she walked behind the man.

Melissa couldn't even open her eyes when she walked out of the little dark room. It took her a while to adjust to the bright sunlight. Then she saw her, Leila, standing in front of her.

The moment Melissa saw Leila, all her confusion and anxiety were forgotten.
