The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1634

Nancy nursed a grudge against Leila. In Nancy's eyes, Leila was too arrogant. Leila never cared about what a servant like Nancy would think about her. She just thought Nancy would agree with how the situation had turned and follow her orders. Much to her resentment, she didn't get what she had expected from Nancy. Instead, Nancy showed complete indifference to Leila, ignoring all her demands.

Despite the anger that flowered in Leila's chest, she swallowed it and managed to stay calm. She told herself not to fuss about Nancy's rudeness. Then, she went to the kitchen to make food for herself. After eating, she then returned to her bedroom.

Nancy finished her daily gardening work before she went into the house and passed by Leila's room. She was annoyed that Leila still hadn't left Dream Garden. In a low but angry voice, she grumbled, "How much longer does she intend to stay here? I just hope Sheryl and the kids can come back as soon as possible."

Nancy missed them so much. Even though a servant, Nancy had been treated like a family member by Sheryl; besides, she enjoyed taking care of the kids. With them gone, Nancy felt like the Dream Garden was no longer her home.

Back in the hospital, things were looking up.

Cassie had fully recovered from her long coma, and she could even act normal enough to continue with her duties. Having been away from her job for so long, she kind of missed the role she played as a nurse, and of course her uniform.

While her mind kept spinning, she shook her head as the downside of her job struck her. She wondered whether she suffered masochism because her job had always taken too much time and energy from her. She remembered how exhausted she was every day she got off duty. She had missed the job so much, but the downside hit her again very quickly.

"Cassie, your boyfriend has arrived. So, you are going out on a date tonight? You should go now. Let me take it from here, and I'll change that infusion for you!" Cora beamed and took the infusion bottle out of Cassie's hand.

Cassie was a little bashful. She heard the trace of teasing from Cora's tone, so she pursed her lips and gave Cora a gentle punch, to tease her back playfully.

"Well, thanks, Cora!" Cassie hurried off and ran all the way to the gate to meet Nick.

Nick had intended to get out of his car and wait for Cassie in her office, but after a second thought, he gave up that idea and waited at the entrance. He didn't want to distract Cassie, nor mess up her concentration. He didn't tell Cassie that he had arrived until the end of her shift when he asked Cora to convey the message. Before Cassie ran out to Nick, Nick began to feel a little embarrassed for having been waiting at the entrance in his car.

"What are you doing here?" Cassie finally appeared in front of Nick and she was breathless.

Nick poked his head through the car window. He kissed Cassie on her forehead as she bent close to the window to greet him. With a smile, he said, "I missed you so much. Here is what I got for you. I've been so worried about your hearth, so I hope that these special nutritive products can help you recover better!"

"I will take them. You shouldn't work too hard, either, though. Today I worked the day shift, and I'll try not to work the night shift these days. Well then, we both should get home early!" Cassie took what Nick had brought to her, and shot him a sweet smile.

"Ha, I must obey Doctor Cassie's advice! I promise that I will go home as soon as all my work gets done!" Nick waved goodbye to Cassie, before he started the engine and drove back to his company building.

Cassie had been in a coma for so many days, so as her boyfriend, Nick had conscientiously stayed by her side and put all his attention into looking after her. Now he realized that he had accumulated a lot of unfinished work and had completely fallen behind schedule, because of that. As a result, he had to take any extra time he had to catch up on it.

The situation Nick was facing was just like what Cassie was confronted with after her coma.

Besides, there was one more important thing Cassie had to do. She had to take special care of Charles on Sheryl's behalf.

Earlier today, when Leila and Melissa went back home, Cassie didn't waste time and called Sheryl right away.

"Sher, Melissa has gone home, so now is a good time for you to pay a visit to Charles. Are you free?"

"Really? Okay, I will be right there!" Sheryl hung up and headed straight towards the hospital.

Recently, Sheryl had not been feeling like herself. She wasn't able to concentrate or bury herself into anything enjoyable. All of this was because she worried about Charles all the time.

Soon after, Sheryl went to Charles' sickroom.

Charles had been transferred into this new sickroom a few days ago, but Sheryl hadn't had a chance to stay by his side, or to take care of him there.

Melissa had been like a ghost that haunted the area around her son. She kept a wary eye on Sheryl and didn't leave her any chances to get close to Charles' room.
