The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1577 I Won't Be Mad At You

Before Nick and Cassie could react, Jordan leaned back and laughed out loud. He pointed at Nick arrogantly and sneered, "I really believed that you were strong enough to protect Cassie. Now, she has ended up getting injured! How do you explain that?"

Nick felt too much shame to confront Jordan. He had failed to protect Cassie that time.

Noticing Nick's sullen silence, Cassie knew that he must be feeling sorry for failing her. She snapped angrily, "It's none of your business! Jordan, can't you just be a man and leave me alone? I told you a thousand times that I don't like you. Why do you still have to harass me?"

Cassie was tired of his shameless harassment. He was almost as cruel as a psychopath!

"Are you annoyed with me? Do I have that right? There are so many outstanding men in this world, so why did you have to choose a lesser man like him?" Jordan shouted angrily at Cassie.

He couldn't understand why Cassie would choose Nick instead of him. He was much better than Nick in all aspects. Her rejecting him was a huge blow to his ego!

The more he thought about Cassie's unfair treatment of him, the more furious he became. The only thing he wanted to do then, was defame Nick as much as he possible.

"Enough, Jordan. I love Nick, and that is the most important thing. You'll never be able to compete with him concerning that point. If you are really powerful and petty enough, just keep me and Nick in prison forever. If you aren't willing to do that, then finally stop bothering us and go away!" Cassie stated sharply as she glared at Jordan.

Jordan was riled up. He came there to insult Nick, but he didn't expect that Cassie could care for that coward, Nick. She ignored his feelings, and had instead come to humiliate him!

"Jordan, Cassie and I were not arrested because of you. Don't think that you are powerful enough to keep us in prison. Moreover, I also tried to hit you. If you are really a man, then come on and fight me!" Nick challenged Jordan, staring at him with fury burning in his eyes.

Jordan wasn't stupid enough to start a fight at the hospital. He knew that people would come to help Nick, so he would definitely suffer. What was worse, someone might call the police over it.

"Nick! Just you wait and see. I won't spare you!" Jordan spat in anger before he turned around and was ready to leave.

"Jordan, there is no need to wait. If you want to revenge on me, just do it today. Don't sneak away like a rat, you coward! You make both me and Cassie sick!" Nick sneered.

"Go to hell!" Jordan rushed out of the patient room immediately.

'He must be afraid and that's why he left so quickly, 'Nick thought to himself.

In fact, Nick had intimidated Jordan just then.

Jordan knew that he was in the wrong, but he wanted to scare Nick away from Cassie. Nick wasn't afraid of him at all though.

Having no other choices, Jordan had to run away.

After the disruptive man left, the room returned to an awkward silence.

Cassie could hear her own breathing in the silence. Since Nick wasn't talking, she didn't say anything to start a conversation either.

"Cassie, I'm sorry! It's my fault that you got injured. I swear that I won't let you hurt anymore, even at the cost of my own life!" Nick confessed guiltily. He approached Cassie and gave her a firm look of determination like he was swearing an oath to her.

Tears sprang to her eyes immediately because of how sincere Nick was to her. How could she restrain her feelings for him anymore?

"Nick, I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so please just ignore Jordan's words, okay? He just wants to make mischief between us," Cassie told him while she was choked with sobs. She really didn't want Jordan to be an obstacle between them.

"Of course, I won't take his words seriously. I know he only meant to provoke me, but I have to admit that what he said was true. I didn't protect you well enough. I won't let anything like that happen again, I promise," Nick promised lovingly and embraced Cassie, wrapping his arms around her.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Cora came in. She was startled by the scene. After she recovered from the shock, she covered her eyes with her hands. She jokingly said, "I'm sorry to have interrupted you. Please go ahead!"

Then she retreated from the room.

Cassie couldn't help but blush after Cora said that.

After a while, Cora returned and knocked on the door. It was long enough after for them to have sorted themselves out.

After she came in, she apologetically said, "Cassie, I'm so sorry. I know that my brother visited you, and I want to give an apology on his behalf."

Cora knew that his brother loved Cassie, but Cassie didn't like him at all. She felt pretty perplexed and couldn't stand between the two.

Cassie glanced at Nick to try to gauge his opinion, and Nick nodded at her.

She knew that Nick wouldn't care about Cora's relationship with Jordan. Even though Cora was Jordan's sister, it wouldn't influence her friendship with Cora.

She waved Cora over to her. Then, she took Cora's hands and smiled, saying, "Cora, there are some misunderstandings between your brother and me. I have already clarified that now. I hope that you can help me persuade your brother about things. Please don't be so stubborn. He can't force anyone to love him. Of course, he won't influence our friendship, so you'll always be my good friend!"

Her statement pacified Cora.

Minutes ago, before Cora visited Cassie, she saw her brother come out of Cassie's room sullenly. Cora immediately realized that something must have happened between them.

Cora angrily stopped Jordan and asked, "Jordan, why are you here?"

"Why do you ask? Why can't I go to the hospital?" Jordan spat impatiently, as he was obviously angry.

Cora tugged on his sleeve and pulled him to the corner, asking in a low voice, "Jordan, why did you bother to come here? Can't you see that Cassie loves Nick?"

"So what? I don't like her anyway!" Jordan snapped indifferently. Cora was rendered speechless by his reaction.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk to her, Cora angrily said, "Jordan, behave yourself!"

Then, she left immediately after.

Cora was anxiously heading for Cassie's room, so she didn't see Jordan's clenched fists and contorted face.

Jordan watched Cora leave and muttered, "Cora, why don't you support me? I won't let go of Cassie so easily. I'm going to make her mine no matter what!"

Jordan was completely resolute as he left the hospital in a rage.

Much to Cora's relief, Cassie wasn't mad at her at all.

"Nick, I want to apologize for my brother. Please don't hate him for how he behaved," Cora said as she turned to Nick. She knew that Jordan's harassment was irksome to both Cassie and Nick.

"Of course I won't judge him too harshly. There being some other guys pursuing Cassie just means that she is really a good girl, and I'm fortunate enough that I'll be the one to get her for my wife!" Nick replied calmly, as if he didn't think Jordan as a problem.

"What are you talking about? When did I agree to marry you?" Cassie complained as he face flushed red.

Staring at them in jealousy, Cora shrugged. "Are you showing off in front of me on purpose?"

"You naughty girl! How dare you make fun of me?" Cassie smiled and reached out playfully as she lectured Cora.

Cora dodged her fist and then immediately said, "All right. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone."

Then, she waved goodbye to them and took her leave.

Cassie's smile was as beautiful as a flower when she saw Cora leave the room.
