The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 766

Sheryl's words dumbfounded Anthony. He had never expected to be confronted by her in this manner.

As Sheryl spoke to him, he realized that he had lost the last hope to be with Sheryl after he had slept with Sue.

"You... you know it?" he stammered. He withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes to avoid looking straight into Sheryl's eyes.

"I'm not stupid Anthony." Sheryl said in a mockingly tone, "The last two times you stayed in her home overnight could be regarded as accidents. But this time you have stayed for so many days. It's impossible that you have done nothing. Anthony, I don't blame you for betraying me. I have no regrets. Now that you have chosen to be with Sue, you should treat her with all your heart. Sue is different from other girls. She went through many hardships and I hope you will be good to her."

"So you don't care even a bit about me, right?" Anthony's lips curved into a bitter smile. He felt so heartbroken as he saw Sheryl had no regrets and she could give him up to Sue without hesitation.

Sheryl gave out a sarcastic laugh and said, "Anthony, it doesn't make sense anymore... to care about that. Did you even care about it before sleeping with Sue?" Sheryl looked straight into his eyes. Anthony lowered his eyes once again to avoid eye contact with her. There was silence between them for a while and then she spoke, "I will take my leave now. Take care of yourself."

Sue used to be her best friend and had been single for a long time. As Sue had been a strong support for Sheryl in the past three years, even Sheryl had seen Sue through all her hardships. And she was also aware that Sue had a soft corner for Anthony. She really wished that Sue had a good live.

Now that Sue and Anthony were together, Sheryl thought she should be happy for her.

But then, she suddenly realized she didn't really know Anthony at all. 'So would Sue be happy with him? Will Anthony give her the kind of love she deserves?' she wondered.

Then she quickly tried to shrug off the thoughts of Anthony and Sue. That was none of her business and besides, she had to focus on Shirley at the moment till the time she became her normal self once again.

She walked up to Shirley, took her in her arms and proceeded towards home. Nancy had been waiting for her for a long time. The moment, she saw Sheryl carrying Shirley, she walked up to her hastily and said with concern, "Sher, where have you been? You gave me a call one hour back stating that you were on your way. What took you so long?"

Nancy took Shirley from Sheryl's embrace to relieve Sheryl who was feeling exhausted after carrying her for a long time.

Sheryl felt relaxed and flexed her sore shoulder. "Anthony met me downstairs and I had a brief talk with him," she said to Nancy patting her shoulder.

"How dare he still come here?" Nancy looked at Sheryl with concern. "Did he make trouble for you?"

"No. Don't worry," Sheryl answered calmly. Although she felt so tired after talking with Anthony, she was relieved that matters were finally settled.

"If he dares to come back again, just call me and I'll teach him a lesson," Nancy said.

"It's okay, Nancy. Don't worry," Sheryl spoke with a smile. She then turned towards Shirley. All she wished now was Shirley's complete recovery as soon as possible and that they could live a peaceful life like before.

After dinner, Sheryl received a call from Charles. He told her that Isla had come to know that Sheryl had gotten her memory back and wanted to invite her to have a meal together. Sheryl was only too happy to accept her invitation.

Charles felt happy to see Sheryl reconnecting with all her near and dear ones. He then paused for a while and asked Sheryl, "How is Shirley?"

"Just the same as before." Sheryl replied to Charles and spoke again after a moment of hesitation, "Recently, I... I had that weird dream again."

"What dream?" he asked. Charles leaned back against the chair to get more comfortable as he listened to Sheryl.

The moment Sheryl spoke about the dream, the sequences started playing in front of her eyes. In the dream, there was a boy with a birthmark like a smiling face. She tried hard to see his face and as his features slowly became clear, she could see it turn into Charlie's face.

This weird dream made Sheryl restless these days. She stared at Charlie for a long time during the day to check whether the dream indicated Charlie was her son.

'But how could it be possible?' she thought.
