The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 721

Anthony was a little surprised to see Junia come over to them. He said, "There was no need for you to come here on your own. I told you I would pick you up at the hotel."

"I did not sleep as well as I do at home as this is a new place. I decided to come over here with some breakfast that I picked up from nearby. Please join me for breakfast, Anthony." Junia motioned Anthony to share the breakfast.

Anthony felt somewhat sorry for her and said, "It is very kind of you to do this for us. But do not trouble yourself like this anymore."

Junia stared at Anthony and said, "Such courtesy is not needed between us as we are good friends."

After Junia set the table, Laura woke up. Anthony marveled at Junia's unstinting devotion. She took care of their every need including providing them with daily necessities.

"Anthony, go ahead and complete the discharge formalities. I am feeling well enough now," Laura urged Anthony after having breakfast.

Anthony nodded and went to complete the discharge procedure. Laura suggested to Junia some scenic spots in Y City that would be worthy of a visit.

"It sounds good." Junia smiled in agreement.

After leaving the hospital, the three went directly to Southern City Mountain to enjoy the extraordinary and soothing scenery. It had a panoramic view at the summit.

"How long will it take to reach the summit?" Junia asked Anthony at the foothill.

"We will reach the summit in approximately two hours if we go at a good speed," Anthony replied calmly and gently.

"Two hours?" Laura exclaimed and found the time and efforts required to reach there beyond her endurance.

"I am definitely too old to reach the summit," Laura collapsed onto a stone step and complained to Anthony.

"Since it is so far let us drop that and move on to the next sightseeing spot," Anthony calmly suggested.

"No," Laura frowned and said, "we must reach the summit. The view from there is fantastic. Otherwise, our visit to Y City will be incomplete."

"Aunt Laura's words do make sense. That is exactly my thought also!" Junia asked Anthony for an easier alternative way to reach the summit.

"There are cable cars available," Anthony said and continued, "but they cover only the lower section, and it takes about half an hour more for us to reach the upper section."

At that moment, Laura glanced at Junia and suggested that Anthony and Junia go towards the summit without her. After that they could move ahead to the next attraction.

"But..." Junia started to object but then she paused and frowned.

"No more wasting time!" Laura urged them to start hiking before the darkness.

"Okay." Junia glanced at Anthony and the two of them walked towards the promenade.

Squeezed into a cable car, the two were overcome with embarrassment. Their faces flushed and their hearts beat wildly.

Anthony broke the ice, "This is my first time to visit Southern City Mountain despite living here in Y City for quite a long time."
