The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2120

"Well, Mrs. Lu, I'm afraid you're going to have to ask the police. We only know what happened to Mr. Lu, but not who did it. That's the police's job," the director quipped rather awkwardly.

Melissa couldn't help but be worried. The police had told her that there was a truck where Charles' car had crashed, but the driver was nowhere to be found.

"Okay, I see. Thank you." Melissa nodded, having just snapped out of her trance.

The director and the doctors exchanged looks of relief.

"Can I see him now?" Melissa asked again.

"Mr. Lu has been transferred to the ICU, and we don't allow any visitors there. Kindly be patient, and we'll keep you updated," the director said.

Melissa had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Melissa was told to go home by the doctor. When she arrived home, Nancy asked her how Charles was.

When the doctor had called Melissa about Charles, Nancy couldn't go along as she had to stay home to look after Clark. Naturally, she was quite worried.

"Charles still hasn't woken up after his surgery. The doctor said he needs to stay at the ICU for further observation. The doctor told me he would update me when we could visit Charles," Melissa explained, her face looking concerned. She then asked, "Nancy, should I tell Chris and Gary about this?"

Nancy was at a loss as to what to do. Charles was supporting the rest of the Lu Family after all.

If Charles didn't make it, they'd have no one to rely on.

"Mrs. Lu, if you want, we can talk to Sheryl and ask her what she thinks," Nancy suggested.

Melissa nodded. She didn't know why, as Sheryl wasn't even her daughter-in-law anymore. She just found herself agreeing, and for some reason, she thought it was a good idea too.

Nancy was relieved to hear that Melissa hadn't turned down her suggestion. She said, "I am going to call her right now."

"No," Melissa suddenly said, "I'll call her myself."

Melissa suddenly thought she could use this to get Sheryl and Charles back together.

"For the meantime, don't tell anyone about this yet. Not Chris or Gary. I'm going to call David first," Melissa said as she pulled out her cell phone to call David.

When the phone call came through, David answered politely, "Mrs. Lu, what can I do for you?"

"Where are you now?" Melissa asked.

"I'm at home." David looked out of the window. It was already pretty late, so he'd have nowhere else to be but home.

Melissa then realized that it was already quite late at night, so she said apologetically, "David, I'm sorry I didn't realize the time. I have something urgent to tell you. This will be really quick."

David was taken aback by Melissa's sudden courteousness toward him as she'd never been like this to him before.

David was pleasantly surprised so he responded, "It's okay, Mrs. Lu."

Melissa sighed before proceeding to tell David about Charles' accident.

David was utterly shocked. "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Mrs. Lu?" he said in a businesslike tone. After all, it was Charles who always asked him to deal with all kinds of company affairs.
