The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1616

Sheryl thought about it for a moment as Isla finished speaking. She then heaved a deep sigh and told Isla what the doctor had said in full detail. One accident had taken place after another, and Sheryl now began suspecting that she was cursed!

"What? Are you telling me that Cassie might not wake up right away? Oh my god! Are you kidding me?" Isla shouted loudly, still unable to believe her ears. She ran toward Sheryl, her eyes wide as she begged her for an explanation.

On the other hand, Sheryl felt no better than Isla. The doctor's words had stabbed into her heart like daggers. She was so hurt that she nearly couldn't catch her breath from the pain.

The doctor told her that it be a while before Cassie woke up because she was suffering from complications due to oxygen deprivation to the brain. What was worse, she might remain unconscious and be a vegetable for the rest of her life! It would depend on the will of Heaven.

It was a shock to everyone, but they had to accept that it had happened.

Sheryl could never be content to just leave it to the will of Fate to decide to kill or pardon a soul.

Cassie was one of the most important people in her life. Sheryl hated herself for having been unable to protect her from everything that had happened.

After they spoke, Sheryl rested back against the wall as if talking had cost all of her strength. She slowly slid down along the wall and sat on the floor. Nick did likewise because the bad news was just as hard on him.

The three of them were all taken aback by the sudden bad news. It took a long time before they recovered their senses again. Sheryl clutched the couch beside her and struggled to pull herself up to her feet. She walked over to Nick and helped him get up before sitting him down on the couch. She then fetched a cup of water and passed it to him. "Nick, you need to hold on. Cassie needs you, and you must believe that she can make it through this. I haven't lost heart in Charles, after all. First, you need to take care of yourself," Sheryl said, trying to cheer him up.

Nick took Sheryl's words to heart as he sat there. He took a sip of the water to clear his throat and said, "I'm confident about that, Sher. Cassie will wake up, and I'll never allow myself to doubt it."

He then nodded at Sheryl and turned to look at Cassie in determination.

When Nick had finally calmed down, he told Sheryl and Isla what he had seen and heard when they had found Cassie.

Isla was pissed off before Nick had even finished speaking. She narrowed her eyes and balled her hands into fists.

"Are you telling us that Cassie followed Leila to the rooftop? The video then showed Leila returning alone, but you didn't see Cassie come down after that?" Isla asked, just to make sure that she had heard correctly.

Seeing Nick nod in confirmation, she clenched her teeth to avoid snapping. "That woman won't even get to cry before I get my hands on her. I'm going to kill her!"

Isla headed to the door immediately. Sheryl hurriedly told Nick to stay there with Cassie and nodded to him before she ran after Isla. So many things happened so unexpectedly, and they couldn't afford to let Isla face any more danger at that moment.

"Move your ass and get over here, Leila!" Isla shouted before she came to a stop.

Sheryl ran to catch up from behind her, but it was too late for her to hold Isla back.

Isla was being too reckless. If it had been Leila who had caused Cassie's accident and resulting coma, she would have erased all of her tracks before anyone came looking for her. Sheryl was sure that they wouldn't get anything out of Leila.

Although Sheryl also believed that Leila must have done something, they had no evidence. Besides, it would alarm Leila, who might come up with even more plots on how to deal with them.

Isla had a temper and was always quick to action but slow in thought. She had found Leila before Sheryl could catch up with her.

Melissa had heard Isla's shouting before she reached them. She stepped in front of Leila and crossed her arms with her brows furrowed sternly. "This is a hospital. Please, behave yourself and keep your voice lowered," she chided Isla in a quiet but firm voice.

"I'm talking to Leila, so please, get out of my way. This has nothing to do with you, Mrs. Lu!" Isla said coldly and shoved Melissa aside. She then furiously glared at Leila and asked, "What did you do to Cassie on the rooftop?"

"I didn't do anything to her! Please, leave me alone. I'll call the security if even one of you tries to mess with me again. Do you keep harassing me simply because I don't have a powerful family to back me up? I'm innocent!" Leila countered by pointing out their injustices toward her as tears welled up in her eyes.
