The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 756

"I'm not leaving," Anthony said with furrowed brows. "Just go back. I know what I'm doing," he continued, trying to urge Laura.

While they were arguing, Laura received a call from Carlson. Yet she was shocked to hear him shouting at her over the phone, telling her that he had a flight in the afternoon and would be arriving in Y City soon.

As the call ended, Laura stared at her cell phone in shock. She wasn't even able to say a word and started doubting if the caller was actually her husband.

For years since she got married to Carlson, he has always been kind to her and never got angry with her. Today was the first time she had ever heard him get angry, much less be mad at her.

"Now, it seems neither of us need to go back. Your father said he will come here in the afternoon," Laura said. She looked at Anthony and continued, "Just get ready to pick up your father."

Anthony nodded his head slightly but retained his hardened expression. "Okay. You go ahead and just wait for me downstairs. I need to talk to Sue."

Laura nodded slightly. But she turned to him before leaving. "Make it quick. And if you truly don't love her, just let her know and break up with her. She's not worthy of you," she advised.

Anthony couldn't take his mother's mumbled opinions anymore and eventually had to resort to gently escorting her out the room. He turned to the closed bedroom door in front of him with mixed emotions.

He knocked on the door softly and called out, "Sue, can I come in?"

Anxious, he didn't wait for her to answer and just went in. He saw Sue's frail figure sitting on the bed, lost in her thoughts. While he couldn't see her expressions, he knew that she was sad.

"Don't forget to eat, okay?" he said gently. "I cooked you something. You have to eat it while it's hot." Anthony kept talking to cut through the silence.

"And you only have a few fruits left in your fridge. Don't forget to stock up.

And there's only a few pieces of your pills left. Remember to get back to the hospital to get checked so you can ask for a prescription," Anthony added, seemingly reminding her of everything he could think of.

Hearing his words, Sue couldn't help but smile wryly. She spoke without turning around, "What are you doing? I've done all these things on my own before, even before we met. I can handle it. You don't have to remind me of every single thing."

"I care about you," Anthony said with a dry smile.

He didn't know exactly what he felt for Sue. All he knew was that he cared about her. He was concerned about her well-being.

"You care about me?" she scoffed. "Why? Are you worried that I would realize that I'm just your plaything? Someone to hang out with when you're bored? And that when you leave and get tired of me, I'd try to kill myself?" she said sarcastically.

"Sue, don't say that," Anthony said with narrowed brows.

"So what on earth do you want me to do? Just tell me," Sue challenged. She let out a bitter laugh. "You never promised me anything. You were just gonna leave me. Who am I to you? Am I just your friend? Or your girlfriend? A sex buddy?" she kept asking. "Because honestly, I don't know anymore."

"Don't call yourself that. Please. I just..." Anthony trailed off, really not knowing what to say to make her feel better. He just stared at Sue, not knowing how to answer her questions. He refused to answer because he didn't know how to define his relationship with her.
