The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 592 Shirley Had A Fever

"Please do not think bad of everyone!" Sheryl expressed her irritation towards Sue.

"So, you choose to think bad of me instead?" Sue felt annoyed and continued to defend herself against

Sheryl,"While Anthony's away, I am responsible for your security, and I must prevent anything bad from

happening to you."

Sheryl replied with a smile,"Feel free to keep your concern to yourself. Amy is not a bad person

whatsoever. I must take her home to relieve the tension by offering her a glass of water. Otherwise, she

may get indisposed for returning the money to me in the heat of the day."

"However, I'm not sure what her motive is." Sue remained suspicious of Amy.

Sheryl dismissed Sue by saying,"There is no harm in me doing so."

Grabbing Amy's arm, Sheryl talked to the elderly woman endearingly,"Amy, now I will take you to my

house, which is close by, for a glass of refreshing water."

Even though Amy was grateful towards Sheryl, Amy responded hesitantly,"How could I bother you like

this? I don't want to be a nuisance."

"Oh, please! It's the least we can do." Sheryl smiled and said,"It's only common courtesy for me to offer

you a glass of water, in return for your kind gesture."

Sheryl took Amy home with her, while Sue stood vigilant. Sheryl poured Amy a glass of water and

asked her whether she'd had breakfast yet.

"No, I haven't yet." Amy replied with a smile

and then frowned at the sight of packaged foods that

Sheryl had bought from the vendor on her way home. "This seems nice, but it's not very nutritious, is it?

Why don't I prepare us a proper plate of food?" Amy was concerned about Sheryl's health.

"It's just very convenient for the days that I'm too busy to cook," Sheryl explained to Amy. "It saves me

time and effort."

"Well, now I have the chance to cook a bowl of ready-made shrimp wonton for you." Amy wanted to

cook Sheryl a meal, as a means of gratitude for her hospitality.

She immediately took her package to the kitchen without even waiting for Sheryl to respond.

Sheryl was surprised to see the package containing her desired food rather than Amy's valuables.

Amy put some stuff away in the refrigerator and talked to Sheryl in a caring tone,"I can prepare you

homemade meals again if you like."

Sheryl felt too embarrassed to accept Amy's offer. "Amy, I would be ashamed of myself to accept your

kind gesture."

To Sheryl, Amy's offer seemed like too much in return for Sheryl paying for her breakfast.

Amy continued talking to Sheryl while she was busy cooking,"I used to prepare this food for my

granddaughter, who is still missing."

Sheryl was stunned beyond words. She couldn't bring herself to ask Amy to elaborate on her reference

to her granddaughter.

Amy paused and continued,"My granddaughter was missing with twins expected to come into being

three years ago."

Both Sue and Sheryl were sympathetic towards Amy, as she endured a lot with her family trauma.

"Amy, you are bound to reunite with your granddaughter again, as long as she is still alive." Sue shifted

her suspicion to sympathy.

"By Heaven's favor only, I will meet her again in this life." Amy felt comforted by what she had said.

What Amy desired most in this world was merely to reunite with Autumn, namely, Sheryl with amnesia,

who was in the same room with her.

"Let us move on from this unpleasant subject to the next." Amy shifted her focus and encouraged

Sheryl to enjoy the wonton she had made for her. Amy could sense that Sheryl was still uneasy.

Sue and Sheryl were tempted and impressed by the dish placed in front of them. Amy had specially NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

made the wonton for Sheryl a bit spicy and sour.

"Amy, you are an expert cook!" Sue showered Amy with compliments.

Amy replied with a gentle smile,"Enjoy! There's more if you like."

However, Sheryl still felt hesitant to eat it, which made Amy feel

somewhat upset

and confused.

"Definitely not! I love this dish, but..." Sheryl managed to ask Amy meaningfully,"Amy, how did you

know that I prefer my food to be spicy and sour?"

"I..." Amy tried to divert Sheryl's suspicion skillfully. "I judge your preference to spiciness and sourness

by the fried pancake you ordered this morning, with a mildly spicy taste and topped with vinegar."

Amy considered offering Sheryl another bowl of wonton without a spicy and sour taste to it.

However, Sheryl stopped Amy from giving her another bowl. She expressed her gratitude towards Amy

but didn't really come across as enthusiastic whatsoever.

Amy felt surprised by her response and continued to ask Sheryl whether she lived there alone, while

Sheryl enjoyed the food.

Sheryl explained to Amy about Shirley's company.

At that moment, Sheryl had suspected that something must be wrong, as Shirley remained quiet in her

room despite their loud conversation outside.

Sheryl then dropped the chopsticks and quickly rushed towards Shirley's room

to find Shirley laying languished and feverish on the bed.

Sheryl immediately felt her anxiety increase, as Shirley remained unresponsive and didn't move at all.

Sheryl then called Sue over to help.

Sue immediately suggested sending Shirley to a nearby hospital for treatment.
