The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1960

"Let's wait until you get off work!" Isla was too frustrated to talk. All she wanted was to hit someone.

Cassie grew silent. She kept worrying as she watched Isla's back disappear down the corridor. She didn't go back to work until Isla had left the hospital building.

The head nurse was a friend of Cassie's, and she knew Cassie had been doing the night shift for the past few days. She felt sorry for Cassie since the night shift was quite demanding and tiring. She called Cassie to the lounge.

"You wanted to see me, ma'am?" Cassie had just finished changing a patient's dressing when she was told that the head nurse wanted to see her.

She quietly stood in front of the head nurse. Even though she and the head nurse were friends, Cassie figured it was better to keep a distance when it came to work as she didn't want their colleagues to gossip about them.

"Cassie, we're the only ones here. You don't need to act like that. Relax. You must be so exhausted!" the head nurse said. The head nurse was around 40 years old. She saw Cassie as her little sister.

Upon hearing what the head nurse said, Cassie smiled, pouted, and said, "Yes, I'm exhausted. I've been doing the night shift for two straight days!"

The head nurse was amused by Cassie. She shook her head and said to Cassie, "I know. You always let someone else rest first while you work. I mean, I know you aren't married yet, but you shouldn't be working so hard. Don't you think you should be spending some time with your boyfriend?"

"He's fine with it. He's actually very supportive. We're both still so young, so we want to focus on our careers, for now," Cassie answered.

The head nurse seemed to be satisfied with Cassie's answer.

The head nurse looked at her watch, and it was about time to change shifts. So she asked Cassie to leave and get off work.

"What? Are you kidding me, ma'am?" Cassie asked the head nurse in disbelief.

"What's the problem with you, Cassie? Others would be happy to get off work! You want to stay here and continue working? Fine! I won't force you to leave," the head nurse shrugged and teased Cassie.

"No, no, no, ma'am. That's not what I meant! Thank you so much!" Cassie said as she reached out to hug the head nurse. When she left the lounge, she was humming and beaming.

The head nurse couldn't help but smile as she watched Cassie leave. She heaved a sigh of relief as Cassie had been working so hard lately that she often forgot to eat or rest while on duty. She didn't want Cassie to be burned out if she continued that way.

Soon, Cassie changed her clothes and went to find Isla.

Isla couldn't sit still in her car. She could feel her insides burning with anger. If Sheryl hadn't told her not to do anything, she would be at the Shining Company right now confronting Charles.

When Cassie went to Isla's car, she could see that Isla was lost in thought. She looked through the window and hesitantly waved at Isla.

Isla quickly opened the door and gestured for Cassie to get in.

"You're off work?" Isla asked Cassie in confusion. She thought that Cassie had asked to get off work early because of her.

"Yeah, the head nurse is so nice. She let me go home early tonight," Cassie answered, smiling.

Then something occurred to Cassie. She asked Isla in concern, "Isla, what happened?"

"Charles and Sheryl got a divorce."
