The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 481

On Saturday night, Autumn headed straight for the Zhao family house. Charles was occupied with some other prior engagements, so Brent drove Autumn there.

Autumn had called and informed Arthur in advance on Anthony and her visit. Before going to the Zhao family house, Autumn demanded Brent to take her to the Y Hospital first. Instead of going to Anthony's office, she went directly to Lisa's. As Lisa had just finished her last appointment, she didn't expect another patient. So when someone knocked on her office door, she felt slightly surprised and wondered who it might be. She looked at the door and caught a glimpse of Autumn. With her forehead wrinkled, she asked in a displeased tone,"What are you doing here?"

"Surprise!" Autumn responded in an enthusiastic voice, as she gently closed the door behind her. "I'm here for you."

"Me?" Lisa asked, as her eyes widened in disbelief and confusion. "But for what?"

Autumn had no idea why Lisa was behaving so hostile towards her. Despite this apparent awkwardness, she still sincerely hoped that Anthony and Lisa would get together. And that was why she paid a visit to Lisa. Autumn explained,"I know you like Anthony. And I want to help you guys get together. I invited Anthony to eat at home. I'm wondering if you have time to join us this fine evening."

"Why would you invite me? I mean you barely even know me," Lisa asked with her eyebrows raised. 'Hmm, Anthony likes her and yet she has come here to invite me. It seems like she came here to show off, ' Lisa thought with discontent.

"I want to give you two a chance to stay alone and sort things out. If you have no problem, I will text you where to meet later," Autumn replied patiently as she ignored Lisa's rude tone.

Lisa gazed at Autumn's bulging belly and she wondered, 'She is pregnant now. They are impossible no matter how much Anthony likes her and wants to pursue her. He has no choice but to give up on her. This will only end badly.'

Staring at Autumn, she put out her concern laced with confusion,"Do you really want to help me pursue Anthony?"

Lisa had often considered giving up on Anthony. After all she had come to Y City almost half a year, but there was still no progress between Anthony and her. With each passing day her determination, hope and love for him were wavering. She grew so frustrated with her countless failed attempts to reconcile their relationship that she now wanted to give up.

But when time and again she had moved on, she just couldn't bear to actually give up on that excellent man. She loved him with all her heart.

That was why she still stayed here after all this time.

"I don't understand why you want to set Anthony and me up?" Lisa asked again, looking bewildered. She just could not understand why Autumn would want to do that.

"Well Anthony is my friend," Autumn replied, a warm smile flashing across her face,"and with that said, I just want to see him to be happy and to be with someone who loves him wholeheartedly."

Autumn drew closer to Lisa, grabbed her hand and observed friendly. "I have liked you since the first time we met each other. I think Anthony and you can work it out and will actually make a great couple. That's why I intend to bring you both together. Please don't doubt my good intentions. I have nothing but positive feelings for you."

As she looked at Autumn, Lisa nodded and said,"Well then, if you insist, I'd love to join you."

"I'm glad that you agreed," Autumn exclaimed, as she let out a cheerful smile. "Well then I gotta head out now. I will text you the details soon. I'm looking forward to seeing you there."

Autumn left the hospital in a good and cheerful mood. When she arrived at Arthur's house, she saw Emily sitting on the sofa in the living room. Emily had been ill abed. Upon earning that Autumn was visiting today, she gathered the strength to get out of the bed and dragged her exhausted body outside. After talking to Autumn for a while, she couldn't bear her overwhelming weariness any longer.

"Come, I'll escort you to your room," Autumn offered as she rose slowly from the couch.

Emily refused stubbornly,"Please just stay here, Autumn. Lucy can accompany me to my room. Don't worry about me, I am just an old woman. But you my dear are a pregnant woman now, so you need more rest and attention."
