The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 489

Autumn thought, doctors and nurses were all busy and chaotic there, and it was far better for Emily to remain away from all of that. She was ill, so she needed the quiet and peace.

"Just come on in," Amy said. Arthur told all the family members to ensure the rooms look the same as before after Charles informed him that Autumn was on her way.

Amy asked Autumn to have a seat and asked,"Are you here for Emily? My dear child, you just left the hospital. You should take some while to rest and recover."

"Yes, grandmother I will, don't worry." Autumn said awkwardly,"I'm increasingly worried about her, so I'm here to ask if I can make a video call to her."

"No, that is not possible!" Arthur interrupted Amy without letting her answer, which shocked Autumn.

"Why?" She couldn't understand what was happening and looked at Arthur. "All I want is just to take a look at Grandma Emily. Why is it so hard?"

Arthur calmed down and said,"Autumn, dear, Emily has gone abroad to see a doctor, not to travel. She may be sleeping now. Given her condition, how can you wake her up? Well, look, if it is any consolation I promise that you will see her soon, but first you have to promise to get better and bring the children into the world, and then take out one month to recover. By that time your Grandma Emily will return, and you can see her, what do you think?"

"But..." Autumn was still concerned.

"Come on, no more BUTs. We are just looking out the both of you." Charles looked at her and said,"You know, the most important thing now is that Grandma Emily and you both recover your health right?"

Autumn paused for a moment, and nodded. She hoped that Emily could only remain healthy and recover completely, no matter how long it would take.

She then promised,"Okay, I'll take good care of myself. Grandpa, don't forget your promise that you'll look after Grandma Emily."

"That's okay." Arthur without stuttering lied to her,"Her doctor is my good friend. I'm sure that he'll do his best."

Autumn was relieved after hearing what Arthur added. She could probably get better soon, but Charles could not. He would need some time to recover.

Maybe it was because he got wet in the rain, Charles was knocked over by fever and it couldn't be controlled by medicines, so Autumn was incredibly worried about his health.

"Charles, why don't you go have a bath and I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup. If your current condition persists till tomorrow, I'll have to take you to the hospital to get an IV drip," said Autumn with concerned eyes.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. It's just a fever, and it'll pass when its course is over." Charles grabbed her by the arm and stopped her in her tracks. He insisted that he was okay and urged Autumn to rest along with him.

"Don't you realize that you're sick? Why do you have to act being so tough and strong all the time? Let me just take care of you." Autumn was anxious to cry and said,"Just wait for a few moments, I'll be back soon."

After saying that she immediately rushed downstairs. Nancy came out of her room to see what happened, and then she assisted Autumn to make the ginger soup, and said,"Mrs.Zhao, you don't have to do this yourself. Just leave it to me. I'll handle it from here."

"It's so very late, so I'd rather not bother you. Please go back into your quarter and rest," said Autumn. "Just leave me be. I can make the soup and off you go."

She then swiftly carried the ginger soup to Charles. When she reached the room upstairs, he just got out of the bathroom, and she gave him the soup and told him to drink it up.

Charles obediently drank up the soup quickly without uttering a word because he didn't want to make Autumn worry. The next morning Charles' temperature was back to normal. Autumn was finally relieved.
