The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1871

For the longest time, all that Sheryl had wanted was for Charles to be back, and now that he finally was, this happened.

She'd suffered so much. She thought they could start all over again, once he'd returned, but that didn't seem to be the case for him—he didn't trust her.

Cassie wasn't the type to make a big deal out of nothing, but when she saw the look on Sheryl's face, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Sher, stop. What on earth happened? Just tell me." Cassie was anxious. She didn't know what Sheryl would have done if she weren't also in the car.

Cassie's question brought Sheryl back to reality. She raised her head and looked at Cassie. After a long pause, she hesitated before speaking. "It was Leila, who pushed Melissa down the stairs, not me. She just turned everything around and accused me."

"What? That damned woman." Cassie furiously tried to step from the car, preparing to storm back into the hospital.

"Cassie, wait!" Sheryl grabbed Cassie's arm just as she was about to leave.

"Sher, why are you stopping me? I need to find Leila." Cassie looked at Sheryl angrily and shook her hand off her arm.

But Sheryl tightened her grip on Cassie and shook her head. "Cassie, what are you going to do when you find her? She's always been like that, and I've never cared. What makes me upset is that Charles doesn't trust me. That doesn't have anything to do with Leila."

"Mr. Lu believed Leila?" It was only then that Cassie realized that the problem concerned Charles.

She then grew silent and just stared back at Sheryl, realizing how careless she'd been.

"Cassie, I'm truly fine. Don't worry about me. Are you off from work now?" Sheryl insisted that she was doing fine as she didn't want Cassie to worry about her. She had to pretend for her sake.

"Hmm, Sher, shall I drive you back home?"

"No. I want to go back to the office."

Sheryl knew that she wasn't fine, and she looked the part. If she went home right now, and the kids saw her like this, they would just worry.

"Okay!"

Cassie nodded and then drove to Cloud Advertising Company.

As they drove, both Sheryl and Cassie were caught up in their own thoughts. They didn't even realize it right away when they'd arrived.

"Sher, we're here. Let me go with you until you get to your office," Cassie offered when she'd parked the car.

Sheryl had just seemingly snapped out of her daze when Cassie spoke. She simply smiled and said, "It's fine. I can go by myself. You're pretty tired too. You should go home and rest."

"Sher, are you sure you're fine?" Cassie asked again as she was still worried.

Sheryl didn't know what to make of this—should she be glad to hear that Cassie cared about her so much or annoyed because she wouldn't stop asking. She laughed lightly. "Look at me. Do I really not look like I'm fine?"

Cassie decided to let it go.

She waited for Sheryl to go inside before driving off.

Meanwhile, Sheryl had lowered her head, feeling dejected.

She kept her head lowered, ignoring everything else. As she headed upstairs, some of her employees greeted her, but it didn't seem as if she even heard them.

Sheryl went upstairs and entered her office.
