The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 367

Abby pulled Amy away and comforted her in a gentle and soothing voice. They all knew, crying would not solve any problem in fact it would just increase the anxiety about the precarious situation.

As sun started to set at dusk, Autumn gradually woke up. The first thought that greeted her was of Yvonne digging the body in the backyard and yelling in panic. She then recalled what Aron said to her, which made her heart fill up with guilt and regret for her initial reaction. Tears streamed down her cheeks the moment she opened her eyes.

Charles realized something was terribly wrong with Autumn. Even though she was wide awake, she did not utter a single word but instead kept on crying. Her heart began to hurt as the tears trickled down. "Autumn, what's wrong love?"

Autumn didn't answer him, instead she continued sobbing. It was almost like the pain had blocked her from hearing him. As she came into her senses, she felt more guilty and embarrassed when she found her grandpa and other relatives standing around her all worried. "I'm sorry... It is all my fault."

Autumn kept apologizing and the tears did not stop either. Seeing this, Amy's heart was breaking with pain as she did not know what she could do to help her. No matter how many times she tried to calm her down and speak her heart, Autumn just wouldn't stop crying. Charles looked at her with a worried expression, and then addressed them, "You have been here waiting for her since you came into the hospital. You must be tired. Why don't you go have some coffee and refreshments downstairs while I try to calm her down."

"But..." Amy was very worried as leaving her in this delicate condition was simply not an option. Before she could finish her sentence, Abby pulled her out of the room. She then said to Amy, "Mom, just let them be alone for sometime. I am sure Charles can handle this. She just seems overwhelmed by emotions. Give him some time to help her compose herself."

Within seconds, only Autumn and Charles were left inside the ward. Charles gently wiped the tears on her cheeks. "I am here with you. Please take a deep breath and tell me what happened? Please dear unburden your mind and put me also out of my misery?"

Autumn raised her head as she looked into his concerned eyes, more tears began to flow down her rosy cheeks. She finally gathered some strength as she began to narrate what happened the previous night. "Charles, I am feeling extremely guilty and overwhelmed about this. Even though it has been decades since my father died, I found out the cause of his untimely death only recently. This is wrecking my peace. I'm not a good daughter..."

"You little foolish girl. It had nothing to do with you. Please stop blaming yourself. " Charles again delicately wiped her tears. "The only person who deserves all the blame and hatred is Wendy. She caused this. Why must you take responsibility for her and bear this pain?"

"No, you don't understand..." Autumn hated herself for associating herself with Wendy and referring to her as her mother. She had done so much for that ungrateful lady who only took things away from her and caused her hard. She was worried that if Bowen were alive, he would blame her for this.

"I know." Charles comforted her lovingly. "You are pressuring yourself too much, Please just rest.

I will handle the situation. You just concentrate on getting better."

If Zhao family knew the cause of Bowen's death, they would definitely follow home, let alone Aron. As Wendy had done so many crazy things, Charles would seek justice for all victims.

If Wendy was alive, she would continue to affect Autumn with her negative grip. She must be put into prison, for all the crimes she had committed, she deserved to be punished.

He made this decision while talking to Autumn and sensing her pain. But he did not let any of this reflect on his face as he maintained a mild expression. "Take some good rest. I'll go buy some of your favorite food for you."

He then helped Autumn lie down. Soon after Autumn fell asleep, he came out of the ward. The moment he got out, all her worried relatives came forward and surrounded him. "Charles, how is Autumn? Is she okay? Did someone hurt her?

Please tell us what happened..."

"Yeah, please hurry up and put an end to our never ending concerns. Tell us what happened."
