The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 750

Junia saw Laura speak with someone she didn't know. However, by the time she had approached Laura, the man had already walked away. From the vantage point she had while walking in their direction she could only make out that he was a tall man bathed in mystery. Therefore, she couldn't help but ask, "Who was that? New friend? Old friend?"

Looking a bit annoyed, Laura quickly answered shortly, "Nobody." Laura was still angry at Arthur's attitude and in no mood to talk to Junia. Then, her eyes narrowed as she turned to Junia and demanded with a cold sneer, "Call Anthony to come here. I have something to ask him."

Laura's mind was racing. The more she thought about the things Arthur had said, the more uneasy she became. Arthur couldn't have simply made some things up. It had to have come from somewhere. There had to be a good reason. There must be something that she was missing.

After a few attempts to reach Anthony, she turned to Laura. With a cynical smile strewn across her face, Junia replied, "He still doesn't answer my calls." She said what she could to try to convince Laura to take it easy. She said, "Laura, I think it would be best if you didn't try to get in contact him just yet. You just need to focus on taking care of you and recovering. That is more important than anything else right now."

"Is he still refusing to answer your calls now?" Laura didn't expect that Anthony would still refuse to answer Junia's calls. She thought he would have calmed down after all these days. After a brief moment of awkward silence, she anxiously spoke up, "Junia, , We can't just continue to sit here and wait. Ask the doctor if I can be discharged now. I'm ready to go." Before Junia could say something, she added, "I must find him now!" Her tone was a bit more stern.

"Aunt Laura, you just have to let these things go sometimes," Junia said. "Anthony is no longer a child. He can look after himself very well. You just need to take it easy," she added.

"Cut the crap. Just go to the doctor!" Laura had an impatient and semi-aggressive tone that would not be ignored.

Junia had no choice but to go find and try to compel the doctor, as she was instructed. However, the doctor refused her request. The reason being that he wanted Laura stay in the hospital for another night for observation. But the doctor also said that, as long as all of her test results were good tomorrow, she could leave right after she got the results.

Upon returning to Laura's room, Junia then had to relay the doctor's response and recommendations to her, "Aunt Laura, what's the big deal? So you stay for another night? Whatever you want to say to Anthony, I'm sure it can wait until tomorrow. You shouldn't just leave the hospital before your doctor says it's okay because you want to have a word with him. What do you say?"

Seeing great disappointment in Laura's face, Junia added, "When you've gotten some rest like the doctor asks, your test results should be back to normal. And once that happens, I promise I will take you to see Anthony, okay?" Then, with a huge grin on her face, she added, "Plus, Anthony must still be angry. So how about we just allow him the opportunity to calm down for the whole night? As a matter of fact, giving him this time may also find him in a much more receptive mood. How does that sound?"

When Laura saw how much it really concerned Junia for her to take the doctor's advice, she eventually accepted the fact that she would have to stay for another night. Yet, part of her, was still worried. With a sigh, she said, "That's fine. I will do what you and the doctor ask and stay here." Then she added, "But you absolutely must promise me… promise me that you will make sure that you will complete all of the discharge paperwork and protocols tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it. I will be sure to make it my business to do it." Junia nodded her head in acceptance of the agreement.

Laura smiled sarcastically. For she knew that tomorrow would be the day she would find out exactly what terrible thing Anthony had done that had made Arthur as infuriated as he had been.

If she found out that it was Arthur saying horrible things about her son, she would never allow him to continue uninterrupted. She would definitely speak up and defend her son's honor.

Her son was a good man. He was not one that Arthur could easily speak ill of.

The next morning, Laura made sure that she got up early and impatiently urged Junia to complete the discharge paperwork and protocols.

Having to stay in the hospital that night was a little boring for Junia. During the course of the night before, she had already put her best foot forward as far as dealing with Laura. She had been more tolerant and patient than she thought she could be with this woman who actually had nothing to do with her at all. The only thing she wanted to do was to return Laura to Anthony. From now on, whatever Anthony said, she would not look after Laura again.

After finishing the formalities, Junia took Laura to Anthony's house. But when they arrived and knocked on the door, there was no answer. They continued knocking for quite some time, but there was still no answer.

When they continued to get no answer, Laura decided to try to call up, but even there she was still getting no answer. Laura glanced at Junia with pure concern on her face and asked, "Why didn't Anthony answer when either of us called?"

Beneath her furrowed brow, Junia said, "Your guess is as good as one at this point." She thought about what would happen if he didn't show up eventually. She even considered calling the cops to report him as missing, if he didn't show up soon. Was she supposed to continue to keep looking after his mom?

"I guess there is no one in there. Is it more likely than not, that he has gone out. Don't you think?" Junia inquired.
