The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1985

The nurse was new to the job and was utterly oblivious to who Charles was. She spoke in a professional tone–like he was just another visitor.

Charles was grateful to the nurse for her interruption. If it weren't for her, he'd be stuck in this ward for God knows how long.

"I'll be off now. Please, don't get annoyed." Charles made a quick exit from Vicky's ward with a blank face.

The nurse decided to check on Vicky and walked towards the door, but Vicky was losing her mind. She was agitated and acting crazy.

Everything happened so quickly that the nurse didn't have the time to comprehend what was happening. Vicky was already out of bed before she could do anything.

The nurse reached out to Vicky in an instant and settled her back into the bed. She immediately called the doctor–who arrived in no time. He injected a sedative into Vicky's vein that immediately calmed her down.

"Doctor, what's wrong with this patient?" The nurse looked quizzical. "Why is she behaving this way?" the nurse asked as she wiped her forehead that was beaded with sweat. She was sweating profusely like she'd finished a 100-mile sprint.

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to know the details. Just remember to keep an eye on this patient. She might get violent again." The doctor was helpless. He didn't know what would make Vicky better or what would stop her from doing all this.

He knew that Vicky was back to normal physically, but emotionally–well, there wasn't much he could do to stop her mental trauma.

"Okay, I get it."

The nursed peered at the sleeping Vicky, baffled at what she had just witnessed. "Is she cuckoo?"

The moment the doctor and the nurse both went out of the ward, Charles approached them.

"Thank you so much doctor!" he said gratefully. Charles was aware of the trouble the doctors and caretakers had to endure to take care of Vicky. He was grateful for all their efforts to repair her health.

"You're welcome." The doctor smiled. "It's our job after all, Mr. Lu. See you." The doctor knew how much Charles was hurting inside.

"See you," replied Charles.

Charles breathed in the fresh air outside the hospital as he hopped into the car. David was driving the car at a slow speed so that Charles could inspect the surroundings.

"Have they found out anything about Vicky?" Charles desperately needed to know. He couldn't take it anymore–he was on the verge of collapsing. He was overwrought. If this were to continue what should he do–kill the woman or let her go?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. They haven't found out anything yet." Charles' tense face stopped David from uttering any further words. He was already furious, and David didn't want to say anything that would provoke Charles.

Charles was curious and wanted an answer, but David didn't have the answers to the questions that were buzzing in his mind. He didn't want to annoy Charles.

"Never mind. Since we're already here let's take it slow." Charles muttered as he pinched his forehead. He felt like his brain was going to explode into a thousand pieces. David glimpsed at Charles and let out a silent sigh of relief.

Melissa was thrilled to be back at Dream Garden, but Charles wasn't home. So, she decided to share her joy and happiness with Nancy.

Nancy was puzzled by Melissa's behavior. Melissa, who hardly smiled when she was at home, was brimming with joy. She even said "hi" to her. Nancy was curious to know what could have possibly happened that made Melissa so happy.

"What happened, Ma'am? You seem to be very happy." Nancy's curiosity hit another level when Melissa couldn't stop smiling.

"I'd gone to meet Sheryl and the two kids today. They're getting attached to me now. I couldn't be happier," she said, grinning like an adorable granny captivated by the love for her grandchildren.

Nancy couldn't help smiling. "After all, blood is thicker than water. The two kids are your blood. They can't help but love their grandmother!"
