The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 649

"Tony…" Shirley murmured. She had been standing in the corner. It was the first time that she saw Anthony in such a bad mood so she didn't know what to do. She dared not approach him until she saw him calming down.

She tugged Anthony's sleeve and asked,"Will Sher be all right?"

"Yes." Anthony's voice was full of assurance. He didn't want to scare Shirley more. Sheryl was already inside the ward being taken cared of some doctors. Anthony squatted, touched Shirley's head, and said with a smile,"Shirley, just stay here with Sheryl, okay? I'll go out to buy some food first."

"Okay." Shirley nodded cleverly.

When Anthony came out of the hospital, he lit a cigarette. He could still feel his body trembling. The doctor's words lingered in his mind.

'Sheryl's memories would soon come back. If that day comes, what should I do?'

Anthony was racking his brains while smoking some cigarettes one after another. In the end, he still didn't come up with a solution.

Anthony stayed outside for almost 30 minutes. It wasn't until he finished a pack of cigarette that he went to buy food. When he came back to the ward, Shirley was already lying beside Sheryl and the two were talking.

Seeing Anthony enter, Sheryl struggled to sit and asked,"Where have you been?"

"I went to buy some food for you and Shirley." Acting as if nothing had happened, Anthony raised the meal box in his hand and said,"It's still hot. Come on, you better start eating before it gets cold."

"It would have been better that we just ate at home if I had known this would happen," Sheryl responded with a bitter smile. "Anthony, what happened today was really embarrassing," she added.

"Silly girl. You don't have to feel that way," Anthony smiled and comforted her. Then he opened the box. "Come and eat now."

"I'm not hungry yet," Sheryl refused. "You eat with Shirley first. I want to sleep for a while."

"Alright, take a rest now. Just let me know what you want to eat when you wake up." Anthony agreed.

"Okay," Sheryl replied shortly and laid down on the bed again. Anthony was actually not hungry at all. So, he just waited for Shirley to finish eating before he put the boxes away.

When Sheryl woke up, Anthony offered to accompany her. However, she refused. "Anthony, Shirley is too young and vulnerable. There are a lot of viruses in the hospital and she might easily get infected. It would be much better if you could take her back home. That way, I can rest assured that she wouldn't get any sickness," Sheryl explained to Anthony.

Anthony frowned slightly and replied,"But how can I be at ease leaving you alone here?"

"I'm going to be fine," Sheryl smiled. "Or better yet, you go home with Shirley and just come back early tomorrow morning. I just had a headache. It's really nothing serious."

With Sheryl's insistence, Anthony had no choice but to leave with Shirley. As soon as they left, Sheryl's expression changed.

Sheryl didn't tell Anthony that the real reason why she fainted was because a vague memory of a similar incident flashed through her mind when Anthony was arguing with that woman.

She saw herself holding hands with Charles while also arguing with a woman. She even remembered that the owner of that restaurant was also the owner of the hotel she used to live in.
