The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1995

Charles was seriously considering rejecting and leaving Vicky. However, reminded of her current emotional instability, he felt that if he turned her away now, she might resort to something crazy, like what almost happened to Cassie.

"Alright. I'll try." After he responded to Vicky, he turned around and apathetically strode away.

Vicky was aware that Charles only meant to pacify her. His response, sadly, was only an empty promise. 'What else can I do?' Vicky asked herself. 'Do I really have to beg him?' she wondered.

While she was racking her brain, wondering how to keep Charles by her side, she couldn't help becoming enraged–she deserved better than this.

"Charles, sooner or later, I'll get you. You can't escape from me!" she muttered viciously under her breath. She was seething with anger and humiliation. As she murmured this to herself, she even clenched her fists as if to put physical action to her new sworn oath. Charles would be entirely hers.

Nick, who was waiting at the main gate of the hospital, walked up to the newly arrived Charles.

"Charles, how did it go?" Nick asked. Nick was quite anxious. He was afraid that Vicky wouldn't listen to Charles.

"Don't worry, Nick. Everything is fine with Vicky. It's all good," Charles replied. After his reply, Charles grinned. For some reason or another, when Charles was around Nick, he always felt relaxed and positive. Maybe it was because of Nick's amiable, easy-going nature, or it could be because he was Sheryl's brother. Whatever the reason was, it didn't matter.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu! I'm so glad to hear that." Nick's eyes gleamed with appreciation.

"No worries, Nick! And, relax, you know you don't have to be so polite," Charles told him.

"Okay, then I'll be going now." Charles was about to leave when he heard Nick's voice.

"Mr. Lu," Nick reluctantly said. Having hesitated for a while, Nick finally decided to voice his doubt. Charles stopped. Gazing at Charles's back, he softly asked, "Are you still in love with Sheryl?"

"I can't answer that. Remember to take care of Cassie. And please do visit Sheryl as well for me." Having replied, he walked off.

"Okay, I understand!"

Nick shouted back to Charles. Even though Charles didn't give him a positive, clear response, he could be sure that he still loved Sheryl. 'There must be some unknown reasons for this divorce, ' he concluded in his heart.

After the surgery, Cassie had already forgotten about the matter between her and Vicky. It was only when she came off from work that she remembered the whole issue. Winking to Nick, she exclaimed, "Oh, my gosh, Nick! I'd totally forgotten about Vicky. Did she make another mess?"

Nick wanted to tease Cassie once he saw her concern about Vicky. He couldn't pass up this moment, so he decided to reply with only a grave face.

Seeing Nick's serious reaction, Cassie was in a state of suspense.

"Aww! Really, Nick, what should we do?" Cassie anxiously asked Nick.

By this time, Nick couldn't help laughing out loud. Cassie understood immediately that he was only joking and had played a trick on her. Punching his chest, she grumbled, "Are you teasing me?"

"You didn't even really give me a chance to speak. So, what was I supposed to do?" Nick pretended to be innocent.

"Stop that now! Come on Nick! Just tell me what really happened!" Cassie demanded. Cassie was curious to know how Nick had managed to do it.

"If my speculation is correct, even though Mr. Lu has divorced Sheryl, it doesn't imply that he is necessarily our enemy. It was he who handled this issue. I have no idea how he did it, but I believe it was really easy for him," Nick stated.

When she heard that, Cassie's curiosity about Charles grew.
