The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 667 Holley's Scheme Worked

The man gave the bill to George and said, "The back of my car was totally damaged and it will cost at least twenty or thirty thousand to get repaired." "Should we just settle this by ourselves or would you like to wait for the insurance company?" he added.

"Let's just settle this by ourselves," George replied. "Give me your bank account number and I'll transfer money to you right now."

The man felt so satisfied with the result. He immediately gave his account number to George. A moment later, when he checked his bank account on his cellphone, he saw that George transferred more than the amount he mentioned to him. He thanked George and left rejoicing.

When the issue was settled, George went inside the ward to see Holley. She was lying on the bed quietly with an IV hooked unto her. George decided to stay by her side to take care of her. A little while later, George's phone rang. It was Donna. George stepped out of the ward to answer it. "George, how's Holley? What happened to her?" she asked.

"Mom, Holley had a car accident," he answered anxiously. He cast a glance at Holley's ward before he continued,"She is in a coma right now. I'm sorry but I can't accompany you tonight. I need to stay with her You just have a good night."

"Car accident? How could that happen to her?" Donna asked with a sneer. Donna thought that Holley was just insane and played some tricks on them.

'Wasn't she afraid of getting killed because of this kind of scheme?' Donna wondered.

Donna couldn't understand Holley's way of thinking. For a woman who had "died" once, Holley was really brave enough to still always believe that 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.' Although it looked dangerous this time, the result must be pleasant.

On the other hand, George began regretting for blaming her earlier. Now he only felt sorry for her.

Now that Holley got into an accident on her way to meet Donna, George felt that he couldn't afford to blame Holley for being impolite any longer.

George's brow arched as he heard Donna's words. He felt annoyed so he said, "Holley is lying on the hospital bed right now. If you don't believe it, you can come and check for yourself." "If you have nothing else to say, I have to hang up now. I can't leave Holley alone for so long," he impatiently added.

"Hold on," Donna stopped him. "George, it was an accident. You should not hold yourself responsible for it." Donna paused for a while before she continued, "How about I'll take care of her for you? You know... it's inappropriate for you to take care of a single woman in a hospital."

"No, I can handle it," George rejected Donna's offer. He couldn't imagine what new trouble would arise if Donna took care of Holley.

However, so not to offend Donna, he just said, "Don't worry, I can manage. You just have a good rest."

After George hung up, he went back to the ward. Holley had already woken up and was sitting on the bed quietly. George saw her sad face.

"Thank God you're awake!" George exclaimed. He sat down beside Holley and asked, "Do you feel alright? Should I call the doctor to check on you?"

Holley's face was still pale. She shook her head slightly.

"Are you hungry? How about I buy some food for you?" George's voice was full of concern. However, Holley still shook her head.

"Are you thirsty? How about..." This time, Holley interrupted George. "George, don't worry. I don't need anything right now," she said. When she saw the worried expression on George's face, she already realized that her plan worked.

George heaved a sigh and said to Holley,"The doctor told me that you had a slight concussion so you need to rest well for you to recover."

Holley nodded her head obediently. George gripped her hand and consoled her,"Don't worry, I will be with you whatever happens." George was really frightened by today's accident.

Holley gave him a reluctant smile and asked, "George, did your mother get angry with me today?"

"You don't have to care about her for now. What's more important is your health," George said with frowned brows. Then he added, "The only thing you need to do is rest. You don't have to worry about other things."

Holley put on a sad expression on her face and said, "No, I can't do that." "Your mom has already disliked me from the start and I screwed up on the thing that you asked me to do so I think she must be angry with me. I can't just stay here, George. Please take me to see your mother. I want to personally apologize to her," she pleaded.

"That's enough! I won't let you go anywhere," George rejected decisively. He forced Holley to lie down. "Besides, how can you go there with your injuries? You better take a rest now. Let me deal with my mother."

"I'm sorry, George," she apologized. Holley gripped George's hand and added, "It was all my fault to screw things up. You should punish me."

"Stop talking nonsense! I am not blaming you." George hugged Holley. "I should be the one to apologize to you. I didn't care about your feelings before and I said harsh words that might have hurt you. I feel very sorry."

George heaved a sigh and promised, "I won't do it again."

"But..." Holley protested. She frowned and added, "She waited for me the whole day. She already had a bad impression on me and she must have gotten more annoyed because of what happened. What if she gets even more dissatisfied with me?"

"Don't think too much. She won't," George assured her. He patted Holley's back and said, "We can explain to mom after you completely recover. Now, you just need to rest. Don't worry about her."

"Are you really sure about that?" Holley asked with rapture. She was very pleased with the result of her plan. It was worthy to get several easy days.

"Yes, of course!" George answered with a smile. "Take it easy. I will always be with you and I will do my best to protect you."

Holley smiled happily. "Will you accompany me to see your mother?" Holley asked.

"Yes, I will," George promised. "If she causes any trouble, I will help you," he added.

George held her hand. "Now that I've chosen you to be my girlfriend, I will always be on your side. No matter how my mother thinks of you, I won't have a change of heart. Trust me." "George, that's too kind of you." Holley immediately threw herself into George's arms out of happiness.
