The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1887

Recently, Charles had been avoiding seeing Melissa because every time he saw her lying in bed, unconscious, he'd feel guilty for not taking better care of her.

David frowned and remained silent.

That was his answer. Charles didn't say anything but told him to leave.

Meanwhile, Leila was at the hospital. She'd just checked her phone, only to see that Holley was still trying to call her these past two days—the woman was persistent.

Holley wouldn't give up, and Leila knew that if she didn't answer her call anytime soon, Holley might go crazy.

"What?" Leila asked coldly. Obviously, she didn't like Holley. She had answered Holley's call, but it didn't mean that she was happy to talk to her.

Holley was just taking a chance by calling Leila. If Leila didn't answer, then she wouldn't be able to vent on anyone. As long as she had the time, she'd call Leila, so she was a bit surprised when, after two days, Leila finally answered.

"Leila, what are you doing? Are you talking to Ferry now?" Holley really wanted to know what Leila and Ferry were up to.

Leila smiled unknowingly as she thought to herself, 'Now, you're scared. It's not my fault you were so stupid. Why didn't you think of this before?'

"Yes. Why? Am I not allowed to?" Leila answered disdainfully.

Holley couldn't control her anger anymore. She clenched her hands into fists. After a long pause, she said, "It's so obvious that you don't know what kind of person Ferry is."

"What do you have to do with any of this anyway?" Leila really wanted to hang up the phone already. If only she didn't have plans to embarrass Holley, she'd have hung up in a heartbeat.

"Ferry is merciless. He'll kill anyone without a second thought. Now that you're in direct contact with him, aren't you afraid for your life? If you cross him, you'll end up dead." Holley didn't sugarcoat what she knew anymore. She needed Leila to stop whatever she was doing.

However, upon hearing Holley, Leila merely laughed.

Holley didn't know why she was laughing. Leila laughed for so long that Holley had to stop her.

"Leila, do you think I'm just joking with you?"

"Enough, Holley. Just mind your own business. You don't have the right to interfere with me or any of my affairs." After speaking, Leila hung up the call before Holley could even respond.

When Holley heard that Leila had hung up, she felt so angry that she almost fainted.

"Holley, are you okay?" Black asked nervously. He'd just returned from his shopping when he saw Holley angrily throw her phone to the floor. He couldn't help but be worried.

Holley was so mad that she hadn't even heard him come in. The minute she saw him, she shifted from angry to casual. She immediately smiled at him and shrugged. "Nothing. It's just that this salesman, who keeps calling me every day."

"I'll have somebody block unknown numbers on your phone, so they won't bother you anymore." Black was relieved upon hearing this.

"Hmm, great. What are we going to eat today?" Holley asked Black with a big smile.

She didn't want Black to know that she was talking to Leila. It was better if he didn't know anything.
