The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1632

"Thank you very much, doctor. We should leave now so Cassie can rest." Cora knew she wouldn't get anything out of Cassie, so she decided to leave the room to give Nick and Cassie some alone time.

Cassie's room suddenly fell under a thick silence when Cora and the doctor left.

Both Nick and Cassie didn't say anything. The atmosphere was a little bit awkward. Cassie had been in a coma for so long, and they had so many things to discuss, but they just didn't know where to start. After a long pause, Nick opened his mouth to break the silence, but Cassie beat him to it.

"Do you think that we should be suspicious of Leila? Do you think she's the one who pushed me down the stairs?" Cassie wasn't stupid. While she couldn't exactly remember what had happened, she had a feeling that it had something to do with Leila, but she wasn't 100 percent sure. She couldn't just blame Leila unless she was really sure. It was just a hunch. What if Leila was innocent after all? Cassie didn't want to accuse Leila of anything, especially if she really didn't do anything.

"Yes, we should be suspicious of her. The CCTV monitor showed you following Leila to the rooftop. It showed Leila coming down afterward, but you never came down. No one else was seen going up to the rooftop. Who else would it be, but Leila?" As Nick told Cassie about the CCTV, the image of Cassie falling down the stairs came to him, and it upset him.

"But I can't remember anything." Cassie hated that she couldn't remember anything. How could she not know? How could she not remember?

"That's alright, Cassie. Don't pressure yourself too much. Sooner or later, it'll come to you. Just give it time. What's important is that you're awake now and you're safe. We should just focus on that and be grateful, okay?" Nick pulled Cassie into his arms and comforted her.

Cassie calmed down as she inhaled Nick's familiar scent. It was warm and comforting. Soon, she drifted off to sleep.

Sheryl was very excited when she heard that Cassie had woken up. She went to the hospital to visit Cassie after she got off work.

She felt greatly relieved when she saw Cassie. Her face wasn't as pale anymore, and Cassie seemed to be recovering well. She was almost back to her old energetic self again. However, Sheryl couldn't help but think of Charles. 'Cassie's already woken up. How come Charles is still in a coma?'

Sheryl wondered whether she could get through this. She had so much on her plate lately, and she was exhausted.

"Sher, don't worry. I'm sure Mr. Lu will wake up soon," Cassie said as if she had read Sheryl's mind. She had noticed the worry and anxiety on Sheryl's face right away.

"I know, Cassie. I know that he can get through this!" Sheryl smiled. She wanted to show Cassie that there was no need to worry about her.

She purposely didn't ask Cassie about who had pushed her down the stairs. Before she came to the hospital, Nick reminded Sheryl about this on the phone. What Cassie needed right now was rest and good vibes so there was no need to bring up things that could upset her.

Sheryl stayed with Cassie for a long while because she didn't want to leave Cassie all alone.

When Sheryl left, she bumped into Nick who had just gotten off work.

"Sher, you're leaving?" Nick could tell from Sheryl's face that she was tired, and he couldn't help but worry. He thought to ask Sheryl if she was going to visit Charles but decided against it because it seemed like Sheryl already had a lot on her mind.

Nick didn't say anything else as he was afraid that he would get Sheryl upset.

"Uh-huh, it's getting pretty late now, and I should get home. You take good care of Cassie. Call me if anything happens." Sheryl smiled and looked at Nick as she left.

Sheryl bumped into Leila just as she was leaving the hospital.

What were the odds?! Leila was the last person that Sheryl wanted to see. She was too tired to deal with Leila now. So she turned around in an attempt to dodge Leila. But Leila had already seen Sheryl, and she wouldn't let her get away that easily.

"Sheryl, are you hiding from me? Why are you hiding from me? Did you do something shady that you don't want to see me?" Leila asked condescendingly, crossing her arms across her chest.

This annoyed Sheryl.

"Leila, I'm done with you. Just go away!" Sheryl glared at Leila. When she responded, her voice was cold.
