The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1024 I Will Come To You Again

"Mom, step aside!" Allen knitted his brows. He shouted ferociously, "I have to teach this bitch a lesson today!"

"I said No!" Peggy refused resolutely and suddenly stood in front of Sue. At that moment Sue was actually touched that her mother was trying to protect her and her baby. However, in the very next moment, Peggy's words made her reconsider.

After Peggy stopped Allen, she reasoned with him, "You can't do that. The baby in her belly is still useful to us. If you hurt her or the baby and provoke Anthony, who could help us out?"

Seeing that Allen was still staring at Sue with nothing but malice in his eyes, she took his hands in hers and comforted him, "My son, listen to me. The priority for us now is to escape. Calm down. Don't be reckless!"

"But mom, don't you see, she is so..."

"No, don't argue with me any more!" Peggy interrupted him angrily and ended the conversation. "She is only useful if she is unharmed. Would Antony still treasure her if she loses the baby? You can't hurt her, you fool!"

Sue had thought that Peggy cared about her because she was her daughter. However, Peggy only cared whether she was useful for them.

Sue laughed at herself for being so foolish that she actually thought Peggy would ever love her. Peggy turned around to Sue and threatened, "I warn you, make the preparations soon. Otherwise... don't blame me when I hurt you. You know what I'm capable of! In that case, I can't guarantee that your baby will be safe or not!"

"Don't you dare threaten my baby!" Sue yelled at her with all her strength. All of this excitement had worn her out. Her face was completely drained of all color..

"Just try it!" Peggy sneered. She dashed forward and grabbed Sue's bag, and then took all the money she had in it. "I warn you, give me all the things that I require. If you don't, I will come to you again!" After Peggy finished, she was ready to leave with Allen.

"Hey, stop right there!" Sue was trying to stop them from escaping, when suddenly Anthony's panicked voice rose outside the door, "Sue, where are you? Sue?"

"Anthony is coming. Let's go! Hurry up!" Peggy commanded as she pulled Allen's sleeve. She reminded Sue again, "Prepare everything I need soon. Don't make me wait long! I don't have any patience!" Then they left quickly. Sue wanted to stop them but she was too weak that she fell to the floor, staring at them leaving helplessly. Soon enough, Anthony entered the room and found her lying on the floor. He dashed to her as soon as he saw her. "Sue, how are you feeling now? Are you hurt?" he asked anxiously.

"My... my stomach hurts a little," Sue answered feebly. Anthony was so worried about her. He helped her up immediately and took her in his arms. Luckily they were in the hospital now, so Anthony took her to the doctor as fast as he could.

After a series of tests, the doctor confirmed that Sue was just a little emotionally unstable, and the baby was fine.

"You must be careful from this point forward. She must stay relaxed," the doctor reminded Anthony.

"Yes, yes, Doctor. We'll be more careful in the future," Anthony assured repeatedly. After the doctor left, Anthony walked up to Sue's bed.

His face was long and sullen.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly look like half-dead? Didn't I tell to to wait for me?" Anthony questioned Sue with a seriousness she could feel.

"I'm fine. I just took a walk. I felt dizzy all of a sudden and I didn't know what happened. I just want to rest now." Sue was lying in the bed, unwilling to tell him anything more. She tried to smile, but could not cover up her look of anxiety.

"Are you still trying to hide something from me? Even now? I have a right to know!" Anthony couldn't help feeling angry towards Sue. He knitted his brows and pursed his lips bitterly. "Sue, we are going to be married soon. I'm your husband, and the father of your baby. I know what you didn't tell me. The two people were your brother and your mother, right? But don't forget what they have done! I really don't understand, why you are trying to protect them now! After everything that they've done!"

"No, I didn't...How could I?" Sue denied it anxiously. She wanted to tell him everything, but when her eyes met Anthony's blaming sights, she was unable to mutter a word.

She lowered her head, avoiding making eye contact with him.

"What the hell is it? Just tell me!" Anthony asked with apparent aggression.

After some hesitation, Sue finally summoned up courage to tell Anthony the truth. "They... they did come to see me just now."

"Why did they come to see you?" When Sue confirmed his suspicion, Anthony couldn't help worrying about Sue. He grabbed her hands anxiously and asked, "Did they do anything to you? Did they hurt you?" "I'm fine," Sue assured him, through a forced smile. Sue smiled and held Anthony's hands tightly, feeling warm to his concern. She continued, "The doctor has just checked on me, right? I'm alright." Anthony finally breathed a sigh of relief after Sue reassured him.

He rubbed her hands and continued asking, "Then why did they come to see you at all?"

"They..." Sue hesitated. After a deep breath, Sue continued, "They wanted me to help them escape." Sue shook her head helplessly. "I told them to turn themselves in and plead for the most favorable sentence. But neither of them was willing to accept it. They insisted on escaping and starting a new life in some other place. They threatened me to give them money and new identities. They also said..." Sue couldn't finish the rest of their words.

"What else did they say?" Anthony frowned and pushed.

"They also said, if I don't obey their orders, they will hurt me and our baby." Sue was visibly very worried.

"How dare they!" Anthony turned red with anger. "I'd like to see how capable they think they are to hurt my baby!"

"Anthony, what should we do now?" Sue buried her head in his arms. Her voice was full of fear. "My mom said she will come back to see me again!"

Anthony knitted his brows. He sighed, "Thank goodness that both you and the baby are fine. Otherwise there wouldn't be any words or talking."

Anthony sneered at Peggy's blatant threats. He told Sue, "From now on, you should stay at home until they are arrested. Peggy could only come to the hospital to meet you. It proves that she can't reach you when you are at home, let alone hurt you and the baby."

Anthony stared at Sue with care and love. "Don't worry, I'll find them out as soon as I can. Since they have committed crimes already, they should also accept the consequences for it. I hope that you can understand. Don't blame me when they are arrested."

"Now why would I ever blame you for that?" Sue smiled bitterly. "That is exactly the result I want."

"Alright, then. You get some rest now. I'm going to complete the discharge paperwork." A malevolent grin spread across Anthony's face. 'Peggy and Allen dare to threaten Sue and our baby. Then don't blame me for being merciless!' he thought to himself.

After everything was ready, Anthony took Sue home. When Laura heard what had happened in the hospital, she was frightened to death. She constantly checked on Sue again and again until she was convinced that Sue was all right.

"Thank goodness you are fine. I can't imagine how to live the rest of my life if you had been hurt!" The thought of the worst case scenario terrified Laura.

"Aunt Laura, I'm really all right," Sue said to comfort her. She smiled and took her hands in her own.

"Alright, mom," Anthony said as he started to escort Sue upstairs. Anthony held Sue's arm and continued, "Sue was a little scared today. It's better for her to get some rest upstairs now."
