The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1677

As soon as Leila arrived at the hospital, she went straight to Charles' ward.

"Charles, Nancy got up very early and put lots of effort into preparing this. Would you please try some?" Leila looked at Charles lovingly. She had been afraid that Charles would give her the cold shoulder, so she had decided to mention Nancy.

Charles looked at the plates in Leila's hands. It looked appetizing, and he could tell it was indeed cooked by Nancy. But he really didn't have any appetite.

Charles was up all night thinking about Sheryl, her affair with Lewis, and why she would hurt Melissa. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Tossing and turning, it had been a restless night. When he got up this morning, he'd lost all his appetite.

"I'm not hungry. Just put them down." Furrowing his brows, Charles looked at Leila apprehensively.

Scared by Charles' sharp gaze, Leila followed him and put down the dish on the table. Lowering her head, she was like a child who had done something wrong, afraid that her parents would punish her, which irritated Charles even more.

Pointing his finger at the door, Charles said coldly, "Can you leave me alone?"

Leila was smart enough to read between the lines. Charles was asking her to leave. But all she wanted was to stay with him. Thinking fast of an excuse, she replied, "Aunt Melissa is awake too. Do you want to pay her a visit? I can walk you there."

It didn't matter if Charles was cold to her. As long as she could stay beside him, Leila was satisfied.

Charles squinted. Thinking about Leila's offer for a while and Melissa's condition, he then nodded in agreement.

Leila's anxiety and worry were replaced by a smile. She burst into laughter and smiled at Charles.

As Charles was getting out of his bed, Leila was supposed to support him. But then she slipped and almost fell onto the ground.

Out of instinct, Charles grabbed her arm immediately. Losing her balance, Leila fell into Charles' arms.

Unluckily, Sheryl had just arrived in the ward to visit Charles. Cracking the door open, the view of Leila in Charles' arms welcomed her, and Charles didn't seem to refuse it. He was holding Leila.

Sheryl had wracked her brain the whole night, wondering what she could do to improve the situation. She knew that she still loved Charles. But what about Charles? He was flirting with Leila. Sheryl felt like an idiot. While she was worried about their marriage and trying her best to save it, Charles didn't seem to give a damn. Clearly, he was having the time of his life.

The sight of Leila lying in Charles' arms totally blew Sheryl's mind. God knew how much she wanted to slap Leila.

The scene was like a trigger. She thought about the night Leila and Charles had spent together. It was like opening Pandora's box. All the painful memories flashed back to haunt Sheryl, anguishing her. Pushing the door open, she glared at them.

Both Charles and Leila heard the sound. Surprised, Charles was the first one to react, immediately pushing Leila away.

Although Leila was reluctant to part with Charles, she had no choice. She managed to keep her balance and stood still.

Lifting his head, Charles saw Sheryl's gloomy face. He opened his mouth, trying to say something to explain. But Sheryl just ignored him, not giving him any chance.

Walking towards Charles, Sheryl handed him the paperwork and said coldly, "Let's get a divorce."

Charles was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Sheryl to bring this up again.

Meanwhile, Leila was on cloud nine when she heard Sheryl's demand. It was finally happening! Leila could finally marry Charles.
