The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 620

Charles looked at Sheryl from head to toe. Sheryl then realized that she was only wearing underwear. Her face immediately turned crimson when she tried to take a glimpse of Charles who was standing in front of her. "Well...uhm..." she stammered. "Please give me a moment. I'll just change my clothes. I'll be back soon."

She immediately turned around and almost ran to the room. She could still feel her face blushing from the embarrassment a while ago. After she put on a decent and comfortable clothes, she went out. She found Sue waiting for her outside. She looked worried as she asked,"Sher, are you sure you're going to the hospital with him?"

"So what?" Sheryl asked back. She took a glance at Sue and went on,"Sue, I know you don't like him. But he saved my life. If I don't take him to the hospital right now, I wouldn't feel at ease." She sighed,"I hope you understand me."

"But..." Sue protested with a frown. "Aren't you worried that..." Sue stopped mid-sentence.

"I know what you're worried about." Sheryl didn't wait for Sue to finish her sentece. Roughly, she could already tell what Sue wanted to say. She grinned and then comforted Sue,"Don't worry, Sue. I know myself. I'll just accompany him to the hospital for some physical checkups. Nothing more." "After all he was injured because of me," she added.

"Well, then I should go with you," Sue suggested. However, Sheryl declined her offer.

"Sue, there is really no need for you to do that. Besides, I also want to talk to him. Shirley is still at Amy's so could you help me pick her up?" Sheryl made her voice sound sweet and her eyes tantalizing while asking a favor from Sue. She knew Sue would easily give in with this kind of appearance.

"Okay." As expected, Sue conceded defeat. Then she added,"But remember that you have to take care of yourself. Call me any time if you'd need my help." Sue knew there was no use insisting because Sheryl would definitely still say no.

A staff was helping Charles to the car when Sheryl came out. When she was already in front of him, he handed her the key. Then he requested,"Sheryl, please drive."

"What?" Sherry was stunned. She hesitated for a moment but finally took the key from him. She had no other choice since Charles was injured at the moment.

Though she was not very proficient in driving, Charles patiently guided her and never criticized her driving skill.

Moved by his patience, Sheryl felt somehow warm.

The car stopped at the gate of the hospital. Sheryl got off from the car first and then helped Charles out. Since Charles was injured, he held on to Sheryl's shoulder for support.

Slowly, they staggered into the hall. Sheryl helped Charles settle on a bench first before she fell in line for Charles' registration.

Shortly after, a nurse came to take Charles into the examination room. When the results came out, they found that Charles had a hairline fracture. Sheryl was startled to hear the result. She didn't expect Charles' injury to be this bad. Moreover, the bruises on his back also stunned Sheryl. But the good thing was that the doctor assured her there was nothing to worry about. He just gave Charles some prescriptions and advised him to rest for a few days.

Sheryl was relieved by the doctor's words. She repeatedly reminded Charles to take his medicines on time. "You have to take it seriously or your wounds won't heal," said Sheryl in a serious yet worried voice.

When she was done talking, she looked up to Charles just to find out that he was not listening at all. He was just staring at her blankly.

Sheryl frowned and asked,"Do you hear everything I said?"

Charles just shook his head slightly without saying a word.

Sheryl got pissed off. "Seriously? Did I just waste my breath all along? Fine! Just do whatever you want!" Sheryl then turned and stomped to leave.

Charles hastily grabbed her wrist to stop her. However, Sheryl was already furious so she just shook his hand off. "I need to go now. You can go back on your own."
