The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1931

Holley walked out of Tarsan Corporation in low spirits. She had nowhere to go now. She had lost the company and her job. Moreover, there were rumors about her spreading online. She had nothing left. Therefore, she felt so heavy of heart that it was difficult for her to even stand straight. It was the first time in her life that she felt there was no respite for her, nowhere for her to go and hide. She was reduced to zero, and she could do nothing about it.

At this dark hour, the only one person that Holley could think of was Black. She had no other option than to go back to Black. He was the only person she could rely on.

Holley took out her phone and dialed Black's number with trembling hands. The phone rang and rang…and, finally, got disconnected. Black did not answer the call.

Holley wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks and decided to drive to the Hu Family's house. However, after she arrived at the gate, she gazed at the closed gate and halted there. She didn't dare to go in. She waited outside for a long time and didn't see Black come out. Holley heaved a deep sigh and turned around to head back towards her home.

In the hospital

After showing off at the company, Leila headed towards the hospital. She remembered that the nurse had mentioned her early leave for the day. Hence, Leila had to fill in for her. After the office, now it was her job to put up yet another act of pretense at the hospital in front of Melissa.

"Ms. Zhang, you have come!" The nurse turned around and saw Leila as the latter walked in. In an instance, the tensed look on the nurse's face changed to a relaxed one.

"Hmm, yes, nurse. You can leave now. I will keep Aunt Melissa company in the afternoon," Leila said to the nurse with a smile and then took her seat by the side of Melissa's bed.

"Okay. Ms. Zhang, thanks very much. I am going." The nurse glanced at Melissa in the bed and replied to Leila before leaving.

After the nurse left, the smile on Leila's face disappeared slowly, and her gaze hardened on Melissa's face. She loosened her hand, which had been holding Melissa's before and shook her hand off as if Melissa was a speck of dust. Then Leila came closer to her and sneered in a hushed voice, "Melissa, you know what? Charles is so nice to me now. I sent someone to kill Sheryl, and they have reportedly finished the job. Sheryl is dead now! And now, no one can stop me from becoming the Lady of Dream Garden soon. You'd better not wake up. Otherwise, I don't know how I should treat you!"

After saying that, Leila couldn't help but burst out into victorious laughter.

During the afternoon, if there was somebody else around, Leila would considerately change the medicine and wipe Melissa's body, but when there was no one around, she kept spilling out her wrathful words.

She just brought out her true colors, revealing her dark inner self as she spoke her heart out in front of Melissa. These were her true feelings that she could not bring out in front of anyone else. But she did this to Melissa as the latter was in a coma. Here, she could freely express her feelings and also provoke the older lady.

In the evening, Leila put her angelic face on in front of the nurse, showing concern towards Melissa and repeatedly telling her to take good care of the patient before leaving the hospital.

However, little did Leila know that as soon as she walked out of the ward, Melissa opened her eyes! Trembling with anger, she reached out for her phone.

"Give me my cell phone!" Melissa tried her best not to lose her temper and called Charles immediately.

Charles still remembered that he had a plan to take Leila out for dinner. So he was waiting for her in the office. These days were crucial to him. He had to put up the pretense and make Leila let her guard down. And at the same time, he would convince Ferry that he had the chance to take action. Only in this way could he deal with the two people at once.

The sound of his cell phone ringing brought him back from his reverie.

Charles frowned at seeing his mother's name flashing on the screen. He got a bit nervous and answered the call without a delay.

"What's the matter?"

"No...nothing. Charles, Leila came here just now and said she had sent someone to kill Sheryl. And they have reportedly completed their task. Is this true?" Melissa was extremely repentant about her misconduct towards Sheryl in the past. When she had heard of Sheryl being killed, she had nearly opened her eyes in front of Leila in the afternoon.

Charles felt depressed for a while and then his face broke into a smile. "No, Mom. Sher and the kids are fine. Leila was cheated. This is my plan. Don't worry."

"Really? Tell me you are not lying to me." Melissa could hardly control her anxiety. She thought that Charles had lied to her because he was afraid that she would be worried.

"Mom, you know how important Sher is to me. How could I let anything happen to her?" Charles spoke to Melissa determinedly.

Hearing Charles' words, Melissa felt relieved.

After talking for a while, the mother and son hung up the phone.
