The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1958

"Charles, I promise you I will not do so anymore. Are you still angry with me?" Vicky hurriedly explained as she sensed Charles being anxious, wanting to leave.

"Okay!"

Charles gently answered and spoke a few more words of comfort to Vicky before finally leaving. There was an expression of satisfaction and tranquility on her face.

At the same moment, David was at the nurse's station. He was taking up his time instructing a nurse to give Vicky a small amount of injection of sedative to help her sleep.

Soon after, everyone felt relieved when Vicky dozed off and then fell into a deep slumber on her sickbed.

David immediately followed closely behind Charles, who was walking in silence in the corridor. They were heading out of the hospital now.

Charles didn't say a word as they drove back to his office. He seemed to be in deep thought as he watched the scenery outside the window. David couldn't help feeling very nervous. So he chose not to utter a word at first.

Inside his office, Charles had spent the whole day reflecting on Vicky, contemplating more on her recent behavior. But it didn't take him long to finally make up his mind to go all out and stop her from bothering him.

"What did you want to see me about, Mr. Lu?" David asked as he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Charles pensively looked up at David as he got to his feet. Then he began to speak, "You drive over to see Vicky and pass my message on to her. I'll give her proper care, attention, and lots of money as long as I am alive. But, I'm not going to marry her, because she is not my true love. Tell her to let go of her unrealistic dream."

Stunned, David could hardly believe his ears when he heard those words coming from Charles.

With a moment of doubt, he stayed for a while in the office. He didn't move as if he was still trying to digest every single word.

"You can go now. I am determined to stop her mad behavior," Charles growled as he stared hard at David.

Realizing Charles' unwavering attitude, David went straight out of the office.

He soon found himself standing outside the door of Vicky's room.

And word for word, David obediently passed on Charles' message to Vicky.

David was already mentally prepared for a tough time because he had supposed that Vicky would surely burst into hysterical weeping and screaming after hearing Charles' ruthless and brutal message. But contrary to what he expected, Vicky remained reserved and unemotional. She just looked at her own hands with a glassy stare.

"Are you terrified out of your senses?" David unintentionally spoke out his real thoughts.

"Well, I agree with his message but on one condition–let Charles see me again to say his goodbye," Vicky said softly with a shrug as she looked up from her hands and beamed at David. "I would like to talk to him face-to-face!"

"What?" David focused his gaze upon Vicky in dismay, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Can't you fulfill this simple wish?" Vicky queried as she looked at David with a terribly wrenched expression on her face.

And that did it. David was more convinced about Vicky's cunning behavior. He felt as though he was no match for this shrewd and calculating woman. For a brief moment, he let himself think for a while before finally making up his mind to make a phone call to Charles.

"Just wait a minute. I'll ask Mr. Lu if he is free now,"

David began as he took a quick look at Vicky, then he purposely went outside to give Charles a call.

Charles was patiently waiting for news in his office when he received David's phone call. He suddenly got a little nervous for no reason.

"How was it?" Charles asked, a bit too eager. And it was the first time he had ever spoken to David in such a tone.

"Mr. Lu, I have delivered your message to Vicky, and she readily agreed with it. But still, she wants to talk with you, face to face!" David had no idea how Vicky's mind worked or what plot she was creating, so he was seriously apprehensive about Charles' safety.
