The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 846

Anthony was absolutely taken aback by the unexpected encounter by the two stranger ladies who just happened to pop up out of the blue claiming themselves to be Sue's family. He cast a glance at Peggy and said, "No. She didn't owe me any money."

Peggy felt confused and she looked at Anthony with curious eyes. Anthony was somehow feeling uneasy as the creased rustic face of Peggy loomed over his face with intriguing eyes. As he was guilty of his conduct towards Sue and wanted to compensate for it, then the sudden appearance of her family made him really confused. After staring at his face for a while, Peggy blurted, "So what are you doing here, then? Do you love her?"

Peggy inspected Anthony carefully and added, "Let me tell you one thing very clearly. If you want to court Sue, you must take my permission first, otherwise..."

"Aunt..." Anthony interrupted her. He looked at her and said, "Sue and I are just common friends. I was just passing by her office and wanted to say hello, but somehow she tried to avoid me. I hope you can ask her why she did so."

Anthony paused for a while and said politely, "I have more important things to deal with. I will take my leave now. Bye Aunt."

"Wait..." Peggy tried to stop him so that she could intrude further but he just took quick and long strides and disappeared before she could say anything more.

Anthony somehow reached the corner of the lane where he could evade the eyes of Peggy and Doris and gasped for breath while his heart was pounding fast against his chest.

Indeed, his relationship with Sue was not something that he could tell anybody. He had come here to regret for his behavior towards her. He felt that he just owed too much to Sue. So he wanted to talk with her and find out whether he could compensate her in anyway to make him feel less guilty.

Also Laura insisted on inviting Sue to have dinner with them. Hence, he had come to invite her for a family dinner.

He had no other choice but to come to her company.

But he didn't expect to meet Sue's other family members there. Anthony told a lie about his relationship with Sue just to avoid being harassed by them.

If they knew how unfairly he had treated Sue, they would definitely not treat him with respect.

Doris and Peggy exchanged looks with each other as Anthony left. They found his words absolutely unreliable. Doris glanced at Peggy and said, "Aunt Peggy, the relationship between this man and Sue can't be just so simple as he said. He must have lied to us."

Peggy turned to Doris and snapped back with a scornful expression, "Okay, enough! That's is none of your business. It's time for us to go to the hospital now. Let's go!"

"I... I am not feeling well..." Doris whimpered as Peggy urged her to go to the hospital.

Doris' reluctance to go to the hospital triggered suspicion in Peggy's mind. She thought of the words spoken by Sheryl about Doris' belly. She shuddered at the thought of Doris keeping a secret from her. Peggy sneered at her and insisted, "Don't worry. You can have a check up scheduled in the hospital. Let's go now. Don't waste time."

Now Doris had no choice but to head towards the hospital. She kept quiet all the while till they reached the hospital and kept scheming various ways to hide her secret from Peggy. As they reached the hospital, Peggy paid all the fee for Doris' checkup. Her only purpose was to confirm the correct tenure of her pregnancy to rule out the suspicion that was planted in her mind by Sheryl.

Despite Peggy's repeated insistence, Doris managed to enter the examination room alone. "Doctor..." She grasped the doctor's hand when the door was shut, begged with tearful eyes and bent down to fall on his feet. "Can you help me?"

"Stand up. Don't bend forward in this condition." The doctor hoisted her up and asked, "Tell me what I can do to help you."
