The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1974

Nancy noticed how anxious Melissa was. She just hoped Melissa wouldn't do anything foolish.

In the hospital

Vicky had just woken up. She figured she must have been sedated since she had gotten quite a sound sleep.

"That damn Charles!" Vicky muttered to herself. When she moved, she felt a stinging pain in her wrist.

She finally remembered that she had slashed her wrist in an attempt to commit suicide. Luckily, she had been able to respond quickly, or she wouldn't have known what to do.

Vicky slowly got up and stretched her arms. She felt much better now. She then headed out of her room.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but you can't go out for now." The nurse stood in her way, stopping her.

"I just want to go to the garden for some sunlight." Vicky looked at the nurse as if she was being bullied.

The nurse had assumed that Vicky was up to something, so she was pleasantly surprised when Vicky said that she only wanted to go out for some sunlight.

"Oh, sure. Let me help you," the nurse offered politely.

However, Vicky didn't want this, so she shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm fine. I can walk by myself."

"Are you sure?" the nurse insisted, looking worried.

Vicky nodded her head to say she was fine.

The nurse then had no choice but to concede.

When Vicky was finally alone, she took her phone out. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts for a while before opening her phone and dialing a number.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the hospital, Melissa seemed thoroughly displeased. She hated recalling her stay here in the hospital considering how long it had been.

She took a deep breath and then walked in.

Melissa immediately located Vicky's room but found that she wasn't there. Confused, she asked the nurse, "Where's the patient?"

"Oh, she said she was going to the back garden. You can go there if you want to see her." The nurse left once she had finished replying as she had other patients to check on.

Melissa had wanted to ask where the back garden was, but now she was just going to look for it herself.

As she made her way there, she asked other people for directions until she finally reached the garden.

She could see Vicky standing near a flower bush from a distance. She was far enough that she couldn't tell what Vicky was doing.

When Melissa drew closer, she found Vicky talking on the phone; however, she couldn't hear what she was saying. She could tell that Vicky was emotional, though.

Melissa was near enough to see Vicky but too far to hear her.

Melissa tried to get closer as she wanted to hear Vicky; however, she tripped on a piece of wood by accident.

She didn't make much noise, but Vicky was alert enough to hear it.
