The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1656

"Mother, Sher is just worried about me. Why would she curse me?" As soon as Charles stopped, he saw that Melissa was still planning on complaining, so he interrupted her by saying, "Mother, I'm hungry." Charles slightly furrowed his brows together and looked at Melissa gently.

Melissa wasn't stupid so she knew what Charles was doing. He wanted her to stop talking. Since she didn't want to get in a fight with him, she just decided to leave.

"All right, I'm leaving, and I'll tell Nancy to cook something good for you." After that, Melissa turned and left.

Before leaving, Melissa slammed the door behind her on purpose. Sheryl couldn't help but glance at the door.

"Sher, come here." Charles waved his hand as if to tell Sheryl to come nearer.

Charles knew that Melissa was jealous and that she had done that on purpose. He had woken up now, and Sheryl was with him, so he had nothing to complain about.

"What's up? Is there something wrong with you?" Sheryl thought that Charles had asked her to come closer because he wasn't feeling well, so she looked at him nervously.

Charles shook his head and held Sheryl's hand. "No. I haven't seen you for such a long time, so I want to look at you."

Upon hearing this, Sheryl smiled bashfully. "Aren't you afraid that you'll get tired of me one day?"

"No, I will never get tired of you."

They looked at each other lovingly.

In another ward of the hospital, Cassie had just woken up. She saw the unusual look on Nick's face and then asked, "Did the police catch Leila?"

Nick raised his head to look at Cassie and shook his head.

"Cassie, don't worry. I'm going to figure this out. I won't let Leila get away with this." Nick blamed himself for his incompetence. He clenched his fists and swore to himself that he would make Leila pay.

Cassie gripped Nick's hand and said to him with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Karma has its way of getting back at people. It'll catch up with Leila soon enough."

It wasn't that Cassie was just comforting herself. She really believed that evil would never win over good. For her, the universe or God was going to punish Leila eventually, even if the police couldn't for lack of evidence.

"Cassie, Mr. Lu has woken up."

Cora suddenly pushed the door open and came in. She excitedly told Cassie and Nick the news she had just received.

"Really?"

Nick and Cassie looked at Cora in doubt.

Cora nodded vigorously, as if trying to convince them that she was telling the truth.

After finding out that Charles had woken up, Cassie and Nick went to his room. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Sheryl and Charles looking deeply at each other, their hands intertwined.

Cassie turned to Nick and laughed. "Don't disturb Sher and Mr. Lu. Looks like they've made up!"

"Hmm, I hope so." Nick wasn't as happy for Sheryl as Cassie was.
