The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 2149

Isla picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Manager Zhao, can I ask you a favor?" Duke's voice called out from the other end of the line. "I know you caught my cousin. He is sick and mentally ill these days. Could you please let him go this time?"

"It's not that we don't want to let him go. But he keeps harassing Sher. I wish he would leave her alone," Isla said bluntly, unable to contain her anger.

Duke felt a little awkward, knowing Isla's temperament. Clearing his throat, he answered, "I know. It's all Damian's fault. He shouldn't have been so stubborn. I have tried to persuade him many times. Manager Zhao, I have already informed Mr. Li about this. He ordered me to take Damian home, no matter what it takes. If he refuses, we will knock him down and take him home."

Hearing Duke's words, Isla calmed down a bit. "Are you sure he will listen to you? If he had listened to you, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Isla still didn't believe that Duke could talk senses into Damian.

"Manager Zhao, please trust me this time," Duke promised again, hoping Isla would listen to him. "Mr. Li also said that to show our apology, he would hand over all the domestic businesses to the Cloud Advertising Company."

That was not necessarily what Isla was expecting to hear, but since the end result could end with business gains, Isla cooled down. She cast a quick glance at Damian, who had been caught by Nick earlier before she said, "Okay, I trust you."

Isla finally hung up the phone, and walked up to Nick, motioning for him to let Damian go. Nick released his hold on Damian while the latter straightened up to stand properly.

"Damian, you should thank your lucky stars. I just got off the phone with Duke, so I am letting you go now. But this will be my final warning. If this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Isla gave him a stern look.

Damian's face turned red with embarrassment. His trimmed hair now looked a bit messy after struggling for a while.

He gasped for breath, completely losing his usual elegance. His eyes were red, like those of a beast. Standing close to Isla, his stare seemed to send a shiver down her spine.

But Isla was not afraid of him. Raising her head with contempt, she ordered his two bodyguards, "Why don't you take your boss home? Keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't come out and embarrass himself again."

Seeing that Damian had been freed, the two men felt relieved and hurried away with their boss.

Isla finally felt relieved as soon as they were out of sight. "It's finally done!" she exclaimed.

Standing next to Isla, Nick looked at her with admiration. "Isla, I find you are a capable woman," he praised. "You are even better than me."

"Thank you, Nick," she answered, winking at him. "Now, let's go inside and see Clark." Isla wore a proud smile as they entered the ward. However, she couldn't help feeling gloomy when she thought about Clark's condition.

Nick's heart tightened. Though he knew about the little boy's condition, he also felt sad that there was nothing much they could do. Still, he nodded and followed Isla to the ward.

As soon as they came in, they saw Clark was unconscious. He still hadn't woken up, making Sheryl even more worried. She sat at his bedside, and she looked tired and restless.

She would glance at Clark from time to time, fearing that he might have a relapse.

As soon as Nick and Isla entered the ward, they saw how sad Sheryl was. She didn't even seem to notice them come in. Exchanging glances, Nick and Isla couldn't help but feel bitter.

Stepping forward, Isla placed her hands on Sheryl's shoulders, startling her a bit. "Sher, all things have been settled," Isla confirmed.

"Thanks." Nodding her head, she said, "Thank you for coming."

"We already talked to Damian. He won't bother you anymore, Sheryl. I'm sorry for Clark. Don't worry too much. I'm sure everything will be alright," Isla added. She squeezed Sheryl's shoulder, letting her know she had her back.

Nick also comforted her by saying, "Sher, I believe that Clark will be fine. Don't worry too much. You should take care of yourself too. Clark will be sad if you end up getting sick."
