The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 441

In the hospital

After Anthony finished diagnosing the last patient, he turned around to look at supper Autumn delivered, and almost immediately a warm and content smile flashed across his face.

Anthony had been busy studying medicine and he was slow-witted man when it came to his heart and expressing his feelings. Though he had been with Lisa for quite some time when he was in America, it was Lisa who took the initiative to woo him. However, once they got along with each other and had been together for some time, Anthony realized there were severe cultural discrepancies between them which were hard to overcome. Moreover, they had totally different personalities.

Autumn was the first girl who he fell in love with almost at the first sight, but it was beyond late for him to make her acquaintance in that regard as she was married.

Looking at the dinner basket, Anthony heaved a sigh.

Anyway, people strongly believed that the best way to love someone was to let them loose and protect their happiness. Now this was the only thing Anthony could do for her wholeheartedly.

"Hello! May I come in?" Just when he was lost and immersed in his thoughts, someone knocked the door, drawing him back to reality suddenly. Anthony took a look at the intake form and felt confused since there was no one scheduled for this hour. He did finish diagnosing all patients. So who was knocking the door at this time?

He opened the door hesitatingly and a blonde haired girl stood across from him with a bright smile across her face. "Anthony surprise!" the girl stared at Anthony as she cheerfully exclaimed.

She then held his neck tightly, and began kissing him softly and was reluctant to loosen her grip. "Anthony, I missed you so much..."

"Lisa, what are you doing here?" Anthony asked her in shook as his eyes widened. Anthony shook off her hands, took two steps back and maintained a certain distance with her. "I told you many times. It is over between us. We have already broken up with each other. Which part of that don't you understand?" he tried to be polite but there was a hint of impatience to dismiss her reflecting in his note.

"Anthony..." Lisa looked at him with a pitiful look and said," Why are you so resolute about things in the past? I missed you so very much over the past days. I missed you every single second and I can't live without you. It was just crazy chatter when I said I wanted to break up with you. I did not mean that. Please forgive me and let us pick up where we left things. We are meant to be together and you will see that. Anthony, please just give me one more chance."

Lisa grabbed his hands and refused to let him go while Anthony had no other options but to shake off her hands over and over again. It got tiring but he was trying to send the message across loud and clear. "Lisa, we are adults. There is an old Chinese saying which goes likewater once spilled cannot be gathered. You took the decision all by yourself to end things with me and I respected your decision while agreeing with it. Now we are two independent individuals without any relation. If you want to travel here, then I will welcome you. But if you came all this way to reconcile, then you might as well give up," said Anthony, his eyebrows raised.

"Why are you so persistent? Can't you consider what I am suggesting for a second?" Upon hearing this, Lisa looked at Anthony, with puppy dog eyes and said," It was simply a joke when I said I was going to break up with you. I know it was in bad taste and ridiculous. I didn't mean it, not one bit. I am sure you know me well after all these years. I am just childish and act rather impulsively without thinking much. But I have come round after realizing what a grave mistake I made and have decided to woo you again."

"Don't utter nonsense here. There is no point talking about this any further..." At this point, Anthony was unable to control his impatience and conceal his emotions. "Don't lobby around here like a limpet. We broke up. You are an American citizen and with that said it is impossible for you to stay here with me. Go back as soon as possible and stop harrowing me any further. I am sure your parents are worried about you."

"But if I promise you that someday in the near future I will be able to stay with you in this city, then will you change your mind and agree to be with me again? I am willing to do anything and everything just to be with you. Please believe me when I say that." Lisa was not going to back down, not after realizing what she had lost.

The doctors and patients who were passing by kept passing glances at them and tried to hear their intimate conversation curiously. After all Lisa was a beautiful blonde girl and it was easy for people to be distracted by her. She was after all conspicuous.

After noticing all the unwarranted attention, Anthony could not help but frown. It was time for him to end his shift as he was done winding up all the work, so he took off his white gown, and simply held Lisa and gestured her to follow him outside.

"Slow down. You are hurting me," Lisa said in a upset tone.
