The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2070

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. I haven't found anything yet. It seems as if someone's purposely trying to cover it up." David wasn't trying to make up excuses–he was just telling the truth.

"Okay, I know. Keep investigating." Charles gestured for David to leave.

David nodded his head slightly before leaving. Once he was out of Charles' office, he let out a sigh of relief.

At the hospital

Damian had found out which room Sheryl was in, so now he was standing in front of it. He couldn't bring himself to go inside yet as he was too embarrassed to see Sheryl.

Even though he was able to explain everything to Sheryl, he still thought it was humiliating

He instantly felt ashamed of himself as he recalled that he had almost forced himself onto the unconscious Sheryl last night.

Damian was worried about Sheryl, and he wanted to know how she was doing. He tried to go inside several times, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

At this time, Cassie had just finished making rounds and intended to check on Sheryl. However, she saw a strange man just standing outside of Sheryl's room.

She was curious about him, so she walked towards him and tapped him on the back.

Damian was taken aback. He tensed up as he turned to look at Cassie.

"Who are you? Are you a friend of Sher's?" Cassie found Damian suspicious, so she eyed him, finding him to be acting rather strangely.

Damian felt uneasy under Cassie's scrutinizing gaze. He averted his gaze as he felt guilty. Stuttering, he responded, "Well, yes. I'm a friend of Sheryl's. I heard she was in the hospital, so I thought I'd come to visit her." He kept his head lowered the entire time.

Damian looked like a decent man, so Cassie figured he was trustworthy.

"I see. But Sher's asleep. Are you going to go inside now?" Cassie asked Damian, looking directly in his eyes.

Cassie had never seen this man with Sher before. So she was still being careful.

"No. I can wait outside and go in later." Damian avoided eye contact with Cassie as he could tell that she was a bit suspicious of him.

"Alright. It depends on you."

"But is Sher fine?" Damian just wanted to know if Sheryl was fine–nothing else mattered to him.

"She was brought to the hospital just in time last night and was given proper treatment. She's fine now. But she still needs to stay at the hospital for a few more days for observation," Cassie responded.

She could tell that Damian was sincerely worried about Sheryl, so she decided to let him inside. However, just as she was about to, a colleague of hers came over and interrupted them.

"Cassie, get over here! It's an emergency!"

"Okay, I'm coming now." Cassie nodded at Damian before turning to leave.

Damian was relieved to see Cassie leave. He was lucky enough that Cassie hadn't pressed him for more answers, or he would have had to end up lying to her.

However, Cassie was still concerned, so she called Nick.
