The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1670

"What do you want to do? Drink some water, have some food or go to the bathroom?" Sheryl asked, looking at Melissa helplessly.

She knew that Melissa was picking on her, but she did not care. What Melissa had said made sense. Sheryl wouldn't retort since she was in a subordinate position.

"What's with that attitude? Is that how you should be talking to your mother-in-law?"

Melissa got angry when she saw that Sheryl didn't seem to care about her words. Pointing at Sheryl, Melissa moaned discontentedly, "What did Charles do to deserve you?"

Melissa was getting absurd. Not only was she insulting Sheryl now, but Charles too. Frowning, Sheryl glanced at her and said, "I have to go now, Melissa. Get some rest."

Reasoning with Melissa was like hitting her head against a wall, so Sheryl decided to leave instead.

"Ouch!" Sheryl heard Melissa cry out from behind after a great thud.

Turning around, she found Melissa on the floor, groaning. Startled, she ran up to help her up.

However, Melissa pushed her away.

Tears brimming her eyes and her arms shaking, Melissa cried, "You know that I'm not in good shape. Why did you push me? Do you dislike me this much?"

Hearing Melissa's words, Sheryl froze. 'When did I push her?' she thought to herself.

"You're such an evil woman! You think that you could live a harmonious and happy life with my son if you remove me from his life?"

Weeping and sobbing, Melissa looked at Sheryl like she was suffering a great injustice. Her acting skills would've won her the Oscar's!

Sheryl didn't know what to do. She stood aside and watched, wondering what Melissa was going to do next. All of a sudden, the door of the ward swung open.

Standing there were Charles and Leila, just in time to hear what Melissa had said.

"What are you doing, Sheryl?" Leila asked, surprised. Seeing Melissa lying on the floor, Leila walked in with Charles and immediately went to Melissa's aid.

Grabbing at Leila's hands like she was actually her daughter-in-law, Melissa started crying again, "Charles, Leila, you have to help me!"

Melissa was almost out of breath, but she continued to cry like Sheryl had indeed just bullied her.

Even Sheryl herself might have bought it if she didn't know what had really happened.

Looking at the injuries covering her arms and legs, it looked like Melissa had been badly hurt from the fall.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me, but not Aunt Melissa! Aunt Melissa does favor me, but that doesn't give you any authority to hurt her! She's not in good condition, and you know that! What if she had died when you pushed her?" Leila scolded Sheryl, her eyes glaring red.

Sheryl opened her mouth but said nothing.

She didn't need to explain to Leila, an outsider to their family. What made her think that she could meddle with their family affairs?
