The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2131

At the ICU of the hospital

Charles sat up on the bed the moment Sheryl left.

He called David at once.

"Mr. Lu, what's up? Isn't Ms. Xia there with you at the moment?" David asked, surprised to get a call from Charles at this time of the day. As far as David was aware, this was the time of the day when Sheryl went to visit Charles and gave him a body massage every day.

"Immediately call the kindergarten and figure out what has happened to Clark," Charles ordered, sounding anxious.

"Why? What happened?"

"Sheryl just got a call from my mother. She told Sheryl that Clark went missing from the kindergarten this afternoon," Charles answered.

"What! How could this be possible? Okay, I'll check with them right away." David hung up the phone hurriedly.

Charles sat on the bed, feeling deeply annoyed.

Charles felt as if an invisible trap was slowly approaching him and his family. It seemed that the mastermind behind all this was not yet satisfied, even after creating so much havoc in his life that he kidnapped Clark to punish Charles.

'This is not over yet. I have to fight back. I must fight back.'

Charles took out his cell phone and dialed another number.

He waited for the call to be answered. After a while of dialing, the line was connected.

"Hey, how come you have woken up in such a short time?" the man on the other side answered in a low yet hoarse voice.

Charles ignored the jeer and asked in a low voice, "How is he doing?"

"Nothing special. He just sleeps and basks in the sun throughout the day."

"Nothing special at all? Are you sure?" Charles asked.

"Yes. Why? Is there anything wrong?"

"Keep a very close eye on him and inform me in time if anything happens."

"Is he planning something bad? This man is really like a millipede. We have taught him many lessons, but he is so stubborn that he doesn't change at all," the man said.

"He is very hard to deal with." A hint of coldness flashed through Charles' eyes. "He will take some actions very soon. Be vigilant."

"Okay, I see. By the way, were you there in the car accident?" the man asked.

Charles replied indifferently, "You will come to know about it at the right time."

"You!" The man knew Charles very well. It was difficult to get information from him as long as he did not want to divulge it. The man knew that it was futile to get agitated on this matter. Hence, it would make sense for him to rather calm down and remain silent.

"All right, I'm going to hang up now. But you remember my words. Be careful and vigilant about him." Charles hung up the phone as he finished his words.

Charles then raised his head and glanced at the medical equipment around him. He narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the mastermind did not believe that Charles was unconscious. So he was doing something or the other to agitate him. After a while of pondering upon the current situation, Charles made up his mind to flow along with the plan of the manipulator.

In Dream Garden, Sheryl brought Shirley and Melissa back home. As soon as they got home, Melissa dropped on the sofa and started crying inconsolably. Nancy made haste to bring a glass of water for her.

"Madam, would you like to have some water? You haven't eaten anything since the afternoon. If it goes on like this, you will fall sick," Nancy said to Melissa when she saw her crying.

However, Melissa paid no heed to Nancy's words and kept crying.

Nancy looked at Sheryl helplessly, wanting her to comfort Melissa.

But Sheryl's condition was no better. She sat alone with her head down. Her face looked pale, and she was at a loss.
