The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1626

Leila and Melissa were feeling wickedly gleeful back in the hospital.

Leila couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as she looked at the comments online. "Aunt Melissa, did you see these? There is more news about Sheryl on the Internet. It seems that not only the paparazzi are reporting this, some passersby who were at the scene yesterday also posted some videos online."

Leila had been worried that the news wasn't scandalous enough to destroy Sheryl. It seemed that her worry was unnecessary. Things had gotten out of her control. 'I never knew how powerful the Internet is!' Leila thought to herself.

Upon hearing what Leila said, Melissa walked over to her. She bent down and looked at Leila's cell phone.

Leila scrolled down on the screen and looked at the comments. "Sheryl is a slut. I mean, what kind of woman would cheat on Charles? Charles is so brilliant and attractive. There are numerous women out there who want to be with Charles. Despite that, Sheryl doesn't treasure Charles at all and cheats on him!"

"I guess the only reason that Sheryl married Charles is that she is in love with his money. Now that Charles is in a coma, she can finally do whatever she wants."

These comments made Melissa burst into laughter. She was more excited than Leila.

"Well, Sheryl can run, but she can't ever hide again. After all the things she has done, it was just a matter of time before people find out about this. She really deserves all the hatred," Melissa said coldly as she pointed her finger at Sheryl's image on the video.

People would think that Sheryl was Melissa's enemy rather than her daughter-in-law if they saw the disdain and hatred on Melissa's face. It was obvious that she hated Sheryl, even if one didn't know about the relationship between Melissa and Sheryl.

Leila nodded her head at Melissa. She was glad that her efforts weren't all in vain.

While Melissa and Leila were excited about the news, someone was upset about it. Nick saw the video too. His brows furrowed as he expressed his concern to Cassie. He liked to talk to her even though she was still in a coma. "Cassie, do you know about this? Someone is trying to defame Sher again. Honestly, I don't know what they are thinking. What happens in the Lu family has nothing to do with them. Why are they so interested in it, and why would they even film and post such a video online?!"

Nick pounded his fist on the table, but he dared not do it too harshly. He was afraid that he would wake Cassie up.

Nick realized what he was doing after he carefully removed his hand, and regretted his actions. He smiled bitterly and continued, "Cassie, I can't wake you up, can I? You can't even hear me..."

Nick wished that Cassie could be woken up by something as simple as pounding on the table. The reality was too cruel. Nick was so considerate and thoughtful that he dared not make a noise even though he knew that Cassie couldn't really hear anything.

All Nick wanted was for Sheryl to get through this drama and not be affected by the rumors around her.

After giving it some thought, Nick decided to call Sheryl.

When Nick called, Isla had taken Sheryl to the restaurant, and Sheryl happened to go to the bathroom. Isla saw someone was calling Sheryl and she looked at the bathroom. Sheryl wasn't out yet, so she looked at the screen. When Isla saw it was Nick calling, she answered the phone without hesitation.

"Sher, are you okay?"

"She's fine. Don't worry." Isla could hear the worry and anxiety from Nick on the other end of the line. She understood immediately why Nick was calling.

"Isla?" Nick was confused when he heard Isla's voice on the other end.

Isla explained to Nick, "I've gone to a restaurant with Sheryl, and she's in the bathroom right now. You can rest assured that as long as I am with Sheryl, nothing will happen to her. You just take care of Cassie, okay?" Isla said to Nick.

"Uh-huh, Isla, I believe you. Call me if you need anything!" Nick felt relieved when he knew that Isla and Sheryl were together.

The moment Isla hung up, Sheryl came out from the bathroom.

"Nick just called you." Isla told Sheryl as she put the phone back down.

"Is he worried about me? Or did Cassie wake up?" Sheryl rubbed her hands together as she sat across from Isla. She had asked Isla while pretending that she wasn't affected by the rumors at all.

Isla rubbed her head and smiled. "Cassie is still in a coma. He called to ask how you were doing."

Sheryl saw the uneasy and embarrassed look on Isla's face. She shook her head and chuckled, saying, "Why are you so nervous? Are you worried that I'm upset?"
