The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1993

"Sir, I don't know what happened. Vicky insisted on saying that and asked us for an explanation." The nurse had seen that he was in a very difficult position. She knew that there was no way out of this, so she relayed what Vicky had said just now.

"Fine. Get out. I need to think," the Head of the Nurses Department snapped. Once he was by himself, he began to ruminate.

The rattled nurse went straight to Cassie and told her everything.

Cassie, in turn, grew pale as she listened to the nurse's story. Silently, she cursed herself for having been unable to anticipate that this would have happened. Vicky was far from kind-hearted. She certainly wouldn't allow people who had done her wrong to go unpunished. Cassie was in big trouble if Vicky ever found out that it was she who had been making fun of her.

She couldn't help but tremble at the thought.

"Cassie, are you okay?" the other nurse asked. She had noticed that Cassie had acted strangely several times today. Seeing Cassie this way again made her suspicious.

"Yes. I have to go restock the medicine cabinet," Cassie said abruptly and then rushed away as if somebody was chasing her.

The other nurse, seeing Cassie's reaction, shook her head involuntarily.

When Cassie was finally out of her colleague's sight, she let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. 'I'm terrified. What should I do?'

After some thought, she began to accept that this was the way things were going and that she could not control this. She could, however, plan her next step carefully.

She thought long and hard before deciding against apologizing to Vicky. Instead, she dialed Nick's number.

Nick had just finished working on a file. When he saw that Cassie was calling, he quickly picked up the phone with a smile. "What's up? Let me guess. Because you haven't seen me in a while, you're already missing me."

"Nick, something's wrong." Cassie nervously looked at her phone and then placed it back near her ear.

When Nick heard this, his smile disappeared. Immediately, he felt mild panic and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I wanted to play a trick on Vicky, but now she's got the upper hand and wants to make the issue bigger than it is. I'm in trouble. What should I do?" It was clear to Nick that Cassie was not in the best mental state while she spoke.

"Don't be nervous. I'm coming to see you. Find a place for us to meet and wait for me, okay?" Nick instructed Cassie softly.

Cassie nodded vigorously. "Okay."

Nick hung up the phone and, without hesitation, rushed to the hospital.

Cassie had expected that it would take Nick at least half an hour to get to the hospital. Much to her surprise, he arrived in less than twenty minutes.

"How did you get here so fast?" It was Cassie's break. She went to see Nick at the gate.

He grabbed her hand and smiled. "I was afraid that the longer it took me to get here, the more anxious you would become. I drove as fast as I could. Tell me what happened."

Cassie kept sighing as she listened to Nick speak. For a moment, she was speechless.

"Stop sighing. Tell me now. What happened?" Nick prodded with a gentle gaze.

Finally, Cassie found her voice and told Nick everything that had happened. Afterward, the guilt and fear returned to her.

Nick grew quiet, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, he said, "Cassie, it's no big deal. You only wanted to play a little trick on her. We'd better tell Mr. Lu about the issue. Maybe he can handle it better than we can."

"Ah? Why?" Cassie wondered about what good could come of telling Charles about it.
