The Apple of My Eye

The next morning, Autumn, with her reddened eyes, went to the hospital to fulfil the formalities required for the discharge. 'Since the hospital can't do anything else to help with grandma's illness, I'd better take her home.' Meanwhile, when Arthur found out that Emily was going to be discharged, he hurried to meet with Autumn.

"Miss Ye, remember to give me a call if Emily's condition gets worse, " he said to Autumn. 'That's the only thing that I can do for her, ' he thought.

"I will, " Autumn nodded. "Mr Zhao, thank you... for being so concerned about my grandma."

"You're welcome, " Arthur replied. 'It's hard to believe that my own granddaughter is standing right in front of me, all grown up, talking to me in such a courteous and orderly manner. I really wish to tell her that I'm her grandfather, but I can't. I am afraid that she might freak out when she finds out about it, ' Arthur mused.

On her way to Emily's ward, Autumn met Aron. "Miss Ye, how is Isla doing now? I called her a few times, but she didn't answer my phone. Is she still mad at me?" he asked as he walked up to Autumn.

"I asked you to keep Isla in the dark, but instead you asked her to be Becky's bridesmaid! How could you be so mean to her?" Autumn complained angrily, glaring at Aron.

"I had no choice, " Aron replied, looking back at Autumn with shame and embarrassment. "At that time, I couldn't risk Becky suspecting me, so I had to ask Isla to be her bridesmaid. Later, when I tried to explain this to Isla, she refused to answer my phone. How is she now?"

"She is fine, " Autumn sighed. "But this time you really broke her heart. Lately, she's been in low spirits. I wanted to tell her all about your plan, but I think it's better for her to hear this from you."

"I hope that you can find out the evidence that proved Becky hurt your grandmother. In this way, Isla can be proved innocent, " Autumn continued.
