The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 163

Aron asked, looking concerned, "Doctor, is my grandma all right?"

The doctor took off his mask and replied, "You must be the patient's family. The patient was in poor health, and she hit her head. She is now out of danger, but..."

When Becky heard the doctor saying that Joanna's life was out of danger, she almost collapsed to the ground. She could barely stand as she held on to the wall.

However, with what the doctor said next, she felt relieved, "But the patient might be in a coma indefinitely..."

Aron grabbed the doctor's hand and asked, "What did you say? What did you mean that she might be in a coma indefinitely? When will she wake up?"

Becky came forward, took Aron's hand and advised, "Aron, you are frightening the doctor. Let go of his hand!

"The doctor has tried his best. No matter what becomes of grandma, I'll take good care of her." Becky decided to take this opportunity to attack Isla. She continued, "Grandma has treated me so well. I won't spare that bitch- Isla."

Aron yelled at her, "Enough! Don't call her a bitch. She is your cousin. It is not certain that she's the one who did this. Don't talk rubbish here."

Becky fixed her eyes at Aron and said with a sad look, "Why are you still trying to defend her? "People at the company are the witnesses. Isla did this because she was envious of grandma's being on my side. Why do you still love this vicious woman?"

"This is a serious matter. We must investigate further..." Aron believed that this wasn't Isla's doing because he knew her very well.

Before Aron could finish his words, Mike's grave voice came from the end of the corridor. "There is no need for further investigation." He strode towards Aron and said, "The evidence is certain. What other proof do you need? Will you believe in it when your grandma never wakes up again?"

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. This is not what you think..." Aron continued to explain with a frown, "Isla..."

"That's enough!" Mike thundered with a serious look, "I don't care what's going on between you and that woman. I don't want to see her face again. Besides... I won't forgive her for what she has done to your grandma."

"Grandpa, don't get angry." Becky came forward and held Mike's hand. She said, "Grandma is in bed now. You should take care of yourself. If anything happens to you..."

"Becky, don't worry. As long as I am alive, he can marry no one but you." Just this morning, Mike had decided to let Aron choose his wife on his own. But now things had changed. If Aron intended to wed Isla, he wouldn't give his consent.

"Grandpa, grandma is still in a coma... I only want to look after grandma well. At present... I have no other intentions, " Becky responded. Mike was satisfied and calmed down after hearing Becky's words.

Aron watched Becky escort Mike to Joanna's ward. Instead of following them, he gave a call to a doctor he knew abroad and asked him to come and check on his grandma. Then, he went to the police station to bail Isla out.

The procedures were done quickly. Aron stood at the gate of the police station, waiting for Isla. She was terrified as she was detained. When she walked out of the police station, she saw Aron and she couldn't hold back her tears.

Aron walked up to her and tightly held her to his chest. He comforted her, "My little girl, why are you crying? Don't be afraid anymore. I will help you get through this."

He took Isla by her hand and said, "I will drive you to your house."
