The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1563

"Baby, it was my fault. I won't do it again. But the next time you see me thinking, refrain from disturbing me, okay?" Walter said in a serious tone.

"All right, I got it. Dear, I'm so sleepy. Can we sleep now?" Cecilia asked softly as she buried her head in Walter's chest.

"Sure," Walter smiled. Then, he hugged Cecilia tightly and closed his eyes.

Since he had already asked the local police director to solve that one particular problem for him, he could now rest assured. He was alarmed upon seeing who called earlier. Luckily, it wasn't a difficult task and it was ironed out in no time.

Feeling relieved, he decided to sleep. He didn't know Nick or Cassie, and he meant them no harm. But it was their misfortune to have offended someone they shouldn't have.

Nobody could save them now.

Early the next morning, the day started badly for Sheryl.

The first thing she had to deal with when she woke up was a call from the police station.

She had thought that it was a mistake, but the phone kept ringing. She had to answer it. "Hello?"

"This is the police. I'm calling from the station. Do you know Nick Ge?" a cold voice asked from the other end of the line.

There was a hint of arrogance and impatience in it, but Sheryl didn't mind. 'A public servant should always preserve his status, ' she comforted herself.

"Nick? Yes, I know him. What's wrong? Is he in trouble?" Sheryl asked with urgency. A call from the police station didn't mean well for Nick.

"Get some money ready to bail them out!" The police officer instructed Sheryl coldly and then hung up the phone before she could find out more.

"Bail them out?" Sheryl muttered to herself.

She realized that she broke out in a cold sweat. 'Oh my God! What happened to him?' she couldn't help wondering. 'And why did the police officer say "them?" Does this mean he's in trouble and he's not alone?'

She had just talked with Nick on the phone the day before. He had told her that his relationship with Cassie was going perfectly well.

'Didn't he go on a date yesterday? How did he end up in the police station?' Sheryl thought in a panic.

She decided to immediately go to the police station instead of worrying herself and overthinking. In a matter of minutes, she was ready to leave.

"Sheryl, you are up very early today. Please wait for a moment. Breakfast will be ready very soon," said Joan. Joan felt quite surprised to see Sheryl up much earlier than usual. She hadn't gotten everything ready yet.

"Joan, I won't be having breakfast here today. Please take care of the kids for me. I have something urgent to deal with. I have to go now. Bye!" With that, Sheryl rushed out of the house.

Joan remained startled even after Sheryl left. 'Whatever the thing is, it must be very big, ' she thought. She had been staying with this family for a pretty long time, but she had never seen Sheryl so anxious.

Sheryl soon arrived at the police station.

She had driven as fast as she could.

After parking her car, she rushed into the building.

"Excuse me. I'm...Sheryl Xia. I'm here to...bail Nick Ge out," she stammered, out of breath, and talking to no one in particular.

The police officer looked up at this panting woman who was holding onto a bag and bathed in sweat. Then he asked, sluggishly, "Is it hot outside?"

The abrupt question rendered Sheryl speechless. 'Come on! You are on duty now, sir, ' she sighed internally.

Sheryl didn't answer him, nor did he ask again.

"Nick and Cassie. To bail two people out, you need to pay..."

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

Before the police officer could finish what he was saying, the phone rang. He stopped to answer it.

"Cassie?" Sheryl muttered in disbelief while the officer talked on the phone. She was utterly shocked. 'Why is Cassie here as well?

Poor girl! How could she survive a night in prison?' she thought.
