The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 742

"Aunt Laura, I really have something important to deal with right now." Sheryl looked at Laura anxiously. Her daughter was still lying in bed helplessly. She didn't have time to engage in a verbal fight with Laura right then.

"Stop with your excuses. Knock it off!" Laura sneered, "Sheryl, I really don't understand how a girl can be so shameless. You are beautiful and can have any man you want. So, why do you want to trap my son? My son is so blinded by your charms that he has nearly abandoned his own mother. He is unwilling to even see me now. So, tell me, how can you remedy things between me and my son?"

Laura was not afraid to lose face, so her voice was really loud. This attracted a lot of people's attention. On hearing Laura's words, people gathered around them. They pointed at Sheryl and whispered amongst themselves. Sheryl felt really uncomfortable but she couldn't say anything.

As Laura was Anthony's mother, Sheryl responded politely and patiently, "Aunt Laura, the relationship between Anthony and me is over. Please let me go now."

"Stop all your lies," Laura sneered again. "I've seen many women like you. You say that your relationship is over, but you are only saying it to deceive me. And when my back is turned, you will be back with Anthony again. You are just a single unwed mother with a child. I know you will never let a successful and rich man like my son out of your clutches."

Laura's words increased the whispers of the people around. Hospitals are often crowded places, and where there are people, there is chatter and gossip. The crowd stood around Sheryl and gossiped about her and Laura's son. These people judged Sheryl with mean words and cast her in the role of an immoral woman.

"I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be so immoral. She looks so decent," a woman said.

"Neither did I. You can never judge a book by its cover it seems," a young man looked at Sheryl with disgust and said.

"Yes, you are right. If my son is to marry, I pray his future wife not be like her," another woman fervently said.

Listening to all these insulting words, Sheryl was pained. She was almost reduced to tears. Their words were sharp like knives, cutting her heart into pieces.

Laura couldn't help laughing when she also heard these words. She turned to Sheryl and said, "Do you hear them? It is not only me who dislikes you. See how many people are agreeing with me! Sheryl Xia, it would be better if you look within yourself. If you are a good woman, how is it possible that I do not approve of your relationship with my son?"

"Aunt Laura." Sheryl's face was sad. After hesitating for a while, she continued, "What do you want from me? Why are you creating a scene here?"

"I want to talk to you privately," Laura said directly to Sheryl. Sheryl hesitated but she still agreed to Laura. "Okay, but I don't have much time. So, you had better be quick about it."

"All right," Laura answered with a triumphant smile.

Laura wanted to find a cafe, but Sheryl refused. Sheryl was worried about Shirley and wanted to get back to her quickly. She finally agreed to go to the garden in the hospital.

When there were about to leave, Junia appeared. Junia was shocked to see Sheryl there. She turned to Laura and said, "Aunt Laura, what are you doing? Have you forgotten all that Anthony said?"

"Don't worry. It's alright," Laura sneered. "It does not matter what he said. He is my son. I am responsible for his well-being and his happy life. Everything I do is for his good. If I don't do the right thing just because of his few angry words, he will blame me in the future."
