The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 200

"Stop playing dumb. Let me be clear to you. Whatever your struggle was, you will always be the trash that was abandoned by the Gu family." Yvonne screamed at Aron.

Wendy who was now beside Yvonne looked at Aron, stunned. She hadn't seen him for years, but she still recognized him.

"Aron, it has been a long time! Why didn't come home when you returned from abroad? What happened years ago was a mistake. Are you still mad at me for that?" Wendy pretended to be innocent. "After you left home, I criticized your father for being so cruel to you, after all, you were just a kid. I also felt guilty for this was because of me. I felt much better when I heard that your grandparents had taken you abroad, " she sighed.

"Your dad will be very happy when he finds out that you're back. You have grown up into a handsome young man, " she continued.

"Aron, how about you come home with us today? I will cook for you and you can see your father. Do you have time?" Wendy asked, taking Aron by the hand.

"No, thanks. I am busy today, " Aron responded as he shook off her hand, and gave Wendy a cold look.

Aron had no intention of wasting time with them. As he turned around to leave, Yvonne gabbed his arm. "Oh don't you just leave yet. Tell me, why did you set me up?" she shouted at Aron.

"Have you gone mad?" Aron was getting impatient. He had no brotherly affection towards Yvonne. He actually detested her.

'There are so many people in the hospital. Now Simon doesn't know that Yvonne had a miscarriage. If he finds out, he will be furious. Moreover, Aron is back and he will let Aron lead the family. If this happens, all my efforts will be in vain, ' Wendy pondered.

Wendy knew that Simon felt guilty about what happened to Aron and he always wanted to bring Aron back home. Wendy couldn't allow this to happen.

"Are you out of your mind?" Wendy turned to Yvonne, pulling her sleeves. "Aron is your brother, and we are a family. How could he frame you?"

"Mom..." Yvonne said, her face pale with anger. 'Now, Wendy starts to speak in his favor. What should I do?' Yvonne thought.

"Well, that's enough, " Wendy stopped Yvonne. "Aron, inform me in advance if you plan to visit us. I will cook your favorite food." Wendy said to Aron.

Aron went straight to his grandmother's ward without uttering a word. When he got there, he saw Mike pacing anxiously by the door. "Grandpa, why are you here outside?" he asked, walking up to Mike.

"Here you are, " Mike said, taking Aron's hand. "What took you so long?" Mike asked.

"I wanted to know the latest about grandma's condition." Aron replied. He had never seen Mike act so anxiously like this.

"Becky is here." Aron had paid so much attention to Joanna's surgery, that he had almost forgotten about the wedding. He didn't really care about it. Becky had called Aron many times today, but he hadn't answered the phone. Assuming that Aron must be in the hospital, she came for a visit.

"What is she doing here?" Aron asked, looking concerned. He opened the door, and saw Becky wiping Joanna's face with a towel and talking to her. Anyone who saw this scene would be touched. However, Aron felt uneasy, fearing that Becky would hurt Joanna again.

"Why are you here?" Aron asked Becky with a frown.

"Here you are." Becky put the towel down and walked to Aron. "Where have you been?" she asked.

"I went to the doctor's office and inquired about grandma's condition. Aren't you supposed to pick up the wedding dress? Why are you here?" Aron asked. 'Grandma has just had surgery. I can't let anything else happen to her.' Aron thought.

"I have asked Isla to try on her braidsmaid dress today. In your case, your suit was slightly bigger. I have asked them to make adjustments. How about we go there together? Then you can try it on again, " Becky said. "I can handle the wedding alone. But I can't try that suit on for you. Aron, it's the only thing that you have to do." Becky begged, teasing Aron with a sad face.

"But..." Aron responded, still frowning. After all, he had no intention of really marrying her. However, Becky had come to the hospital today, which worried him.

"Go with her, " Mike said. After knowing that Becky had stolen Aron from Isla, Mike had been slightly angry at her.

But he saw how Becky had come to the hospital to check on his wife and he remembered how good she was in the past. Over all he was still satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law.

"I can attend to your grandmother, so you don't need to worry about her. You should spend more time with Becky and with this wedding. It's not easy for her to handle these matters alone." Mike continued.

Becky beamed with delight. Getting married to Aron would be the happiest thing for her. She had no complaints having to handle the wedding matters alone. "Grandpa, I'm just doing what I should do..."

Aron took his coat. "Let's go!" he said to Becky.

Aron had kept silent since they left the hospital. "Aron, how did grandma get a scar on her forehead?" Becky asked, staring at Aron.

Becky had come to visit Joanna for two reasons. One was to ask Aron to accompany her to the wedding shop to try on her dress. The other was to see whether Joanna had woken up or not. To her surprise, she found a scar on Joanna's forehead, which seemed to be from the surgery. She panicked inside when she noticed this.
