The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 365

"You can rest assured that I have my people keeping a close watch on the Gu family house. If anything happens, I will know at once, " said Officer Zhang calmly. "Mr. Gu, I understand how you feel now. Wendy Ye has been arrested. If she is a murderer, we will bring her to justice. Please leave everything to us."

"I see, thank you, Officer, " said Aron in a despondent voice.

Due to various procedures, the case could not be immediately investigated. This was especially hard for him when he knew that Wendy clearly killed his father.

Meanwhile, Yvonne had been cleaning up the room for a long time, but she was too afraid to go into the backyard and do what her mother had asked her to do.

She was so worried about Wendy that, after some serious consideration, she decided to ask Autumn for help.

When the phone rang, Autumn was ready to go to bed. Her first thought when she found that it was Yvonne calling, was to ignore it. But after a dozen rings, she picked it up.

"What?" Her tone was cold and irritated, as if she was talking to an enemy.

"Autumn, I beg you to help me, " Yvonne blurted out. The annoying little half-sister had climbed down from her high horse, because, at this moment, the only person that she could think of who could help her was Autumn. At any rate, Autumn was Wendy's daughter, too, and she believed that she would never turn her back on Wendy.

Autumn paused, wondering if she had heard her wrong. "What did you say? You beg me?"

It surprised her that Yvonne, who had always been proud and defiant, would beg her.

"Cut the crap. I really need your help. It's about mom." Yvonne clutched the phone, her voice quivering.

Autumn frowned. "I was done with her days ago. She's your mom, not mine. If you call me for her, sorry, I can't help you. I'm hanging up now."

"Are you really going to be so cold, Autumn Ye?" Yvonne cried quickly.

"Hmmm, Autmun Ye is not here anymore. Now, I am Autumn Zhao. I have changed my name on the household register and my ID card." Autumn coolly relayed the fact to her. "It's late. I'm going to bed."

"Mom was taken away by the police!" Yvonne cried out fast. "You're my elder sister and the only one who can help her now. I beg you to go and see her, please!"

Autumn was stupefied by the news. It took her a long time to react. "Why did the police take her away?"

"You'll know when you see her. Autumn, please, help mom. I really can't lose her, " Yvonne implored.

Out of kindness, Autumn finally got dressed and went to the police station.

It was already after midnight when she got there. Technically, she was not allowed to see Wendy at the time, but Aron helped her, so she was permitted to see her for a short time.

"What... have you done this time?" Autumn got right to the point, staring at Wendy with frigid eyes. Wendy's head was drooping, wallowing in hopelessness. She looked so different from her usual glamorous appearance, seeming much older than the last time Autumn saw her.

"Why are you here?" Wendy looked up at Autumn and said faintly, "Weren't you in a hurry to get rid of me? What are you doing here?"
