The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 162

"Isla, that is a downright dirty accusation. Grandma has been so kind to me. Why would I want to hurt her? What's more, I am sure everyone here knows what I am doing here today. Why would I do such a thing?" Becky asked furiously.

"It is because..." Isla was at a loss for words and she did not know how to explain it. Perhaps... Would they believe her if she explained it clearly?

"What is wrong? What is going on here?" When Aron arrived, he found many people gathering around. He squeezed through the crowd and found his grandmother on the floor with a lot of blood. Aron rushed toward Joanna and held her tight, "Grandma! Wake up! Hey! Grandma, wake up! What happened to her?" Aron asked, bewildered.

"Aron..." Becky cautiously stepped towards Aron and said in a low voice, "I have called the ambulance. Grandma will be fine. Don't worry."

"What happened to her? Tell me!" Aron's eyes turned red at what he saw. His grandparents were his only family left. And he was determined to take good care of them, but now... "Who brought her here? Who brought my grandma here?"

"It's me. I am sorry, Aron. I didn't mean to." Becky replied while lowering her head. She dared not look at Aron in the eye. "Grandma gave me a call this morning and she said that she wanted to meet my cousin, Isla. I also tried to convince her not to come here, but you know that grandma is so stubborn that I couldn't stop her. I had no choice but come with her. But I didn't expect that..."

Becky stopped a bit then continued, "I didn't expect Isla to have such a temper. And she had a fight with grandma. She pushed grandma during the fight and then..." Becky tried hard to explain.

"Aron, I..." Isla was in a panic. She was genuinely concerned about Aron's grandma and she was also worried about what Aron would think of her. She feared that Aron wouldn't understand and that he would never trust her.

"Aron, let's look into that later. We have to get grandma to the hospital now." Becky told Aron. But as she spoke those words, Becky hoped that Joanna would not wake up anymore.

Aron lifted his grandma and rushed her to the hospital without taking a glance at Isla. Becky went with him.

As soon as they left, the police arrived and took Isla away after hearing Paula's exaggerated testimony. It seemed that Isla had lost her mind and instead of defending herself, she didn't utter a single word.

Meanwhile, Joanna was rushed to surgery at the hospital. Neither Aron nor Becky told his grandfather about it, but Becky still made a call to Mandy. She was in such a daze that she didn't know whether she was doing the right thing or not. She badly needed someone with a clear perspective.

Obviously, Mandy was the best person to help her.

"What is going on, Becky? Why was Joanna sent to the hospital, all of a sudden?" Mandy rushed to the hospital after hearing the news. When he got to Becky, he asked her. "What did you do in the morning? She was still fine this morning. Tell me what happened, Becky."

"Mom..." Becky burst into tears and fell into Mandy's arms while Mandy patted her back gently to console her.

"Don't cry, Becky. I am here and I will help you handle this. What happened to her?" Mandy held Becky's hand while asking in a soft voice what happened.

"It is Isla. It is her. She pushed grandma down to the floor." Becky insisted that it was Isla who hurt Aron's grandma, but she never mentioned the details of the accident.

Aron was terribly upset at that time, and he couldn't help roaring at Becky. "That's enough. Get away from here and stop crying. My grandma is not dead yet. Why do you keep crying here?"
