The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1581

"Trust me; I have neither interest nor intention to threaten you. Now can you just cut short to why you have called me?" Sheryl asked impatiently. She was resisting the urge to press the call end icon.

After Melissa calmed down, she sneered complacently. "Nothing important. I just want to ask you when you're going to divorce Charles. Now that you are aware of Charles and Leila having an intimate relationship, it is needless to say that she will become his wife in the future. I hope you need no more clues to understand that you have been abandoned! If you have the slightest self-esteem, you should let go of this marriage. Otherwise, I'll confront you in your company. It will only bring shame to you. Think it over!" Melissa tried to give all possible reasons for Sheryl to give up.

'Charles, are you so desperate to get a divorce?

As soon as you reached Dream Garden, you asked Melissa to call me, right?' Sheryl thought desperately.

She was lost in thought for a while. As she came back from her reverie, she snorted, "What shame? I should be shameful for being cheated on by my husband?"

"Sheryl, shut up! All I want to say is that you should divorce Charles as soon as possible!" Melissa snapped angrily. Sheryl's cool attitude irked Melissa. She felt frustrated that even after using such sardonic words, she could not intimidate her.

Melissa also knew that Sheryl was a proud woman. Now that Leila had come between her and Charles, she wasn't likely to come round. But Melissa wanted their marriage to end as soon as possible.

"Copy that. I have to go now if you are done," Sheryl said curtly. She hung up the phone before Melissa could say anything else.

After the conversation was over, Leila tried to suppress her anger. "Aunt Melissa, why did you have to call Sheryl today?" she asked.

She didn't expect Melissa to cause such trouble for her in her absence. She had just left Melissa to go to the toilet. And by the time she came out, she found her talking to Sheryl.

Leila was petrified to see that. Sheryl had warned her earlier that if she dared to provoke her, she wouldn't ever let go of Charles.

"All I wanted was to humiliate her!" Melissa replied, looking a little miffed. She had called to mock Sheryl. However, she failed. What was worse, she was provoked by Sheryl instead.

Leila couldn't help but be angry at Melissa. 'Why do you always make things worse?' she thought.

"Leila, just forget about Sheryl. There is something more important for you to do now. You should go to the hospital and get my medical reports. Charles is waiting for them!" Melissa said as she grabbed Leila's arm.

Leila suddenly remembered the medical reports. She put aside Melissa's foolishness immediately.

How could she forget? This was the core part of their plan on which their future success depended.

"Right! Aunt Melissa, just wait. I'm going to get it right now," Leila answered immediately. After this, she took her leave hastily.

Almost one hour later, Leila returned with the reports.

As soon as she arrived, she rushed to Charles, who was working in the study. As she stood near Charles' table, she was almost out of breath.

"Did I allow you to come in?" Charles asked in a sullen voice, his eyebrows knitted tightly.

Leila was panting, unable to utter a word, but she didn't leave. After a while, she recovered a little and said, "Charles, take a look at Aunt Melissa's medical reports."

She came to stand next to Charles and put the medical reports on the table.

As soon as she mentioned Melissa's medical reports, Charles' expression changed. All of a sudden, he became alert and nervous at the same time. He stopped what he was doing immediately and started reading the reports.

As he read, Leila burst into an uncontrollable sob.

She looked so broken and devastated, as if her own mother had suffered some misfortune.

Early stage of liver cancer!

Charles stared at the report summary in disbelief. His mood plummeted at once.

How could it be? Charles' heart began to sink.

Melissa was put behind bars for so many years. After so many difficulties, they were finally able to get reunited. However, before she could fully enjoy her life as a free civilian, she was diagnosed with cancer!
