The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 70

"Chris…" Seeing a family member show up, Autumn got nervous. She pulled Chris's hands and pleaded, "Tell me he is fine…"

Autumn had no idea how Charles was and she was in desperate need for someone to tell her over and over again that Charles would be fine.

She believed it would be true if someone said it repeatedly.

"Take it easy, Yvonne." Though Chris was equally worried, she kept comforting Autumn. "My brother has always been very lucky. He even survived the car accident that got my parents killed. This little accident can't do any harm to him."

Autumn didn't know it until today that Charles's parents died in a car accident. She was shocked to know that Charles was in the same car with them and watched his parents die so helplessly. How did he hold it up all the way?

"It's all my fault…"

Autumn was interrupted by Chris before she could even finish her sentence. "What are you talking about? It's the fault of that scumbag. Why are you blaming yourself?"

Being a fighter against injustice as she was, Chris said in anger, "If I were there, I would have taught that scumbag a good lesson."

She gently pacified Autumn and waited for Autumn to calm down. Then she turned to Sam Lin and said, "Sam, thank you so much for today. Now it's late and you should go back home. I will stay here with my sister-in-law."

"Will the two of you be okay?" Sam wanted to be with Autumn, but he knew that now he was in no position to do that.

"Yes, be rest assured." Chris nodded briefly. Autumn, who was standing on the side, also added, "Sam, I was lucky that you were there today. Charles and I shall thank you in person when he's a little better."

"No, it's not necessary." Sam smiled and told them, "Now, you both take care of yourselves and call me if you need any help."

"OK." Chris nodded slightly. Having watched Sam leave, the two seated themselves on the bench and impatiently waited for the lights in the operating room to go out.

After a long while, the lights in the operating room finally went out. Autumn tried to stand up but her legs got numb because she had been sitting for too long. Chris on her side helped her get up and said, "Be careful!"

Autumn walked in front of the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is my husband now?"

"He's got a slight concussion because of the impact in the head. In addition, we gave him four stitches on the head. Now he'll be transferred to the general ward. It's nothing serious."

Knowing Charles was fine, Autumn felt relieved.

Autumn and Chris stayed up all night, but when they saw Charles quietly lying in the bed, they felt it was all worth it.

"Autumn, please don't tell Grandpa about my brother's injury at the moment. We'll talk about it after he wakes up." Chris reminded Autumn.

"I see." After all, her grandpa Gary was an old man now, he might not be able to stand such a big shock.

"Please stay here with my brother and I'll go out to get some breakfast for us. You haven't slept all night, and you need something to replenish yourself."
