You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 22

After the context of the matter was finally brought to light, John suddenly fell in deep contemplation.

Truth was, Nina had been calculatingly framed by Isabella.

After he had rashly given the video recording to the Zhang family, they must have sent people to make trouble for Nina. That would be the reason why she hit him with a vengeance at the hotel.

'She must hate me very much right now.'

"What should I do?" he asked, completely at a loss. John changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued to brainstorm about how to make up for what he had done.

Henry knocked on the door and came in quietly, but John was too absorbed in this thoughts and didn't hear him.

"Mr. Shi?" Henry was already speaking loudly, but John still didn't take any notice of him. John looked so alarmingly depressed and Henry surmised correctly that John's worry did not stem from his business.

There was no difficulty in the company that John could not solve with confidence and ease. At present, there was only one person who could make John behave in an abnormal and unexpected manner.

And that was none other than Nina.

Henry was still having misgivings if he should tell John that Nina was actually his lawfully-wedded wife.

After having thought for a while, John came back to his senses. Caught unaware, he was surprised to see Henry standing in front of him. In a serious tone, he asked, "Have you solved the matter at hand?"

"Yes, but Mr. Glenn Zhang wants to see you," Henry quickly reacted and replied, unprepared by John's sudden question.

Henry had been working for John for a while now and he felt that he could always keep up with John's train of thought.

"No need. Tell him I won't see him," John replied cynically. "He dared to offend my family. It is obvious that he has not taken that into consideration. Tell the public that from now on, we will never cooperate with Zhang Group any longer."

"Yes, Mr. Shi." Henry nodded with respect and silently mourned for the Zhang family. From then onward, few people would ever dare to cooperate with Zhang Group again since the Shi family had announced that they would cut all collaboration with them and never cooperate with them anymore.

This would be the start of the inevitable bankruptcy of the esteemed Zhang family.

But he had a more pressing question. Was the family John referred to his nephew or Nina?

If he was referring to Nina, then now was the best time to divulge John the truth.

"Mr. Shi, I have something important to say, but I am not sure if I should say it," Henry probed.

"If you are not sure, then keep your mouth shut,"

John retorted impatiently. Sure enough, the reply from John was just as what Henry had expected. Disappointed, Henry left the room dejectedly after a short while.

Meanwhile, in the Zhang family mansion

Isabella's loud screams and lewd curses echoed all over the house.

"Ouch, it's so painful. Be gentle! I already told you several times to be gentle. Are you deaf or what?" Isabella chastised the middle-aged female doctor without regards to her age and forcefully kicked her away. "You're nothing but a quack doctor! Go away! I don't want to see you!

Stunned, the doctor fell to the floor. The pain was so unbearable that she gritted her teeth in agony, and sweat dripped from her forehead. 'What an arrogant brat! If not for the high medical fee, I wouldn't tolerate her and take this job.'

"Miss Zhang, the medicine must be applied on your bruises. Otherwise it will be too painful and you will have a hard time sleeping tonight," the doctor calmly explained, stumbling as she stood up. Although she was fuming silently, she had no choice but to endure Isabella's bad attitude because she badly needed to receive the money.

Isabella raised her hand to cover her ugly swollen face, but stopped in midair. She didn't dare to touch it because even a slight touch would cause intolerable pain.

She swore that if she met Nina again, she wouldn't spare her even an ounce, and vindictively take revenge for the insult inflicted upon her today.

Seeing how enraged Isabella was, the female doctor trembled with fear. Would she take out her pent up anger on her?

A doctor's oath and duty was to save lives and heal the wounded. But now, being a doctor had become a high-risk profession. They were always at risk of being hurt by their violent, unreasonable patients.

The female doctor sighed deeply with regret. No matter how high the medical fee was, she decided she would never step foot in the Zhang family ever again. Exasperated, she gently coaxed Isabella, "Miss Zhang, let's apply some medicine. Only after applying medicine on your face can you recover fully."

Isabella viciously glared at the doctor impatiently and stormily threatened, "Be gentle, or I'll let you know the feeling yourself."
