The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1544

Clark had no desire of giving up. He glared at Melissa. Just when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Sheryl.

"Clark, don't speak to your grandma in this manner. It's extremely rude." Deep down, Sheryl knew that Clark was right. But at the same time, he was only a child. It wasn't right for him to speak to an elderly in this way. Moreover, if Sherly didn't interfere, Melissa would make a big deal out of it.

"Mom, please don't be angry. Clark didn't mean it," Sheryl added, trying to change the atmosphere. All she wanted was to put a full stop to this matter.

But things didn't work out the way Sheryl had hoped. Melissa wasn't the sort of person who would give up, even if it was for her grandson. She pointed at Sheryl furiously and blurted out, "Sheryl, look at your child! I can see how well you have educated him!"

Seeing that Melissa wouldn't give up, Sheryl retorted back, "That's enough! Do you think it's appropriate to say such a thing? How will Charles react if he comes to know about it?" At this crucial moment, she had no choice but to play Charles card. Melissa was not a fool. She knew very well she had to wrap it up. The last thing she wanted was to displease her son. With resignation, she shut her mouth up and didn't continue.

Sheryl was used to enduring Melissa's venomous words. But today, Melissa had really crossed the line. Clark was only a child. It was terrible how Melissa wouldn't leave him either.

The situation became awkward. Everybody stopped talking. Sheryl shot a glance at Leila, who seemed to be smiling at this spectacle. But when Sheryl looked at her, she suddenly straightened her face.

Sheryl was furious but she didn't want to make things worse. She then pulled her kids to her and said to Melissa, "I'm taking them back home first."

"I clearly know you had no interest in coming here. I don't understand why you even bothered to come here. And to make things worse, you brought the things I don't like to eat..." Although Melissa muttered in a low voice, Sheryl heard all she had said.

"Mom, those are your favorite food items. But if you insist on not liking them, you are free to throw them away!" Sheryl turned to leave after she replied.

Melissa cursed furiously when she heard what Sheryl had said. Sheryl closed the door because she didn't want her kids to hear her grandmother's words.

After they walked out of the ward, Clark asked his mother, "Mom, you always teach me about honesty, yet you didn't permit me to speak my heart out. Why did you do that? And why did Grandma say such things?"

Clark looked at Sheryl, doubt and discontentment evident on his face.

When Sheryl heard Clark's question, she laughed all of sudden. He looked just like Charles with his serious expression. She squatted down and patted Clark on his head. She smiled and said, "She is your grandmother, the mother of your father. I won't allow you to get angry with her. Everything that happened was due to a misunderstanding between me and her. But it will be fine. Don't worry about that, okay?"

Sheryl tried so hard to convince Clark. He didn't ask further question. But Shirley began to wail when she looked at her mother and her brother.

"They are awful people! They bully Mom..." Shirley felt sad, and tears were gliding down her face.

"Don't cry, Shirley. If you continue to cry, Mommy will be sad." Clark comforted his sister. He was mature as a grown-up.

Sheryl nodded in agreement. She then wiped tears off her daughter's face and pulled her into her arms.

"Mom, promise me. Never ever talk to Grandma again!"

"Okay. I won't talk to her anymore. But you need to stop crying, okay?" Sheryl assured her daughter, who was still a young girl. After getting an assurance, she stopped crying immediately.

They walked out of the hospital. Sheryl believed that Melissa put her in an awkward position on purpose. She wanted Sheryl embarrassed in front of Leila. Lost in thoughts, the fact she had to visit Nick slipped out of her mind.
