The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 203 Waking up

After leaving Becky, Aron intended to go to Isla and tell her his whole plan. However, he received a call

from the hospital. He changed his mind and hurried there instead.

He panicked when he saw Mike crying silently on the bench outside the ward. "Mike, what happened?"

he asked, dashing to Mike.

"Aron..." Mike looked up, grabbing Aron's hand immediately. "Your grandmother..." she..."

"What's wrong with her? Tell me now!" Aron urged anxiously.

"She has woken up, " Mike replied. Aron was relieved when he heard this. "Isn't it good news?" he

asked

"Yes, it is. I just didn't expect her to wake up today." Mike answered, wiping his tears. "I am weeping

with joy."

"Is she alright?" Aron asked with concern.

"The doctor is doing some tests on her inside. This time, we need to show our gratitude to Arthur, "

Mike said, still holding his hand. He now felt extremely grateful that Aron pushed for this surgery.

As soon as Arthur walked out of the ward, Aron came forward. "Doctor Zhao, how is she doing? Is she

alright?"

"Don't worry. She is fine, " Arthur said, taking off his mask. "But she is weak now. She needs good rest

without being interrupted. Otherwise, she will be in danger again." he continued.

"You can go inside now."

Aron and Mike hurried inside. When Aron walked past Arthur, he said "Thank you!".

When they entered the room, they saw Joanna lying on the bed with her eyes open. Mike walked up to

her and took her hand. "Anna, you finally woke up."

Mike seldom called her by her nickname. When he saw Joanna now up and conscious, he couldn't

hide his happiness.

"You have lost so much weight, " Joanna said, reaching her hand to touch Mike's face. "I'm sorry. You

must have been terrified these days."

"What are you talking about? You've woken up and it's the best news for me, " Mike responded, with

tears trickling down his cheek. "Are you hungry? How about I go get you something to eat?" Mike

asked as he dried his tears.

"I'm not hungry." Joanna answered. Tired as she was, she lay on the bed looking pale. Noticing this,

Aron poured a cup of water for her immediately. "Here, drink some water, grandma, " he said.

"Grandma just woke up. How about we leave to let her have some more rest?" he advised, turning to

Mike.

"Well, you are right. Have a good rest. You must fully recover so you can have the energy to attend

Aron's wedding. You have looked forward to this day. Now you can witness his getting married to

Becky." Joanna almost choked on her water. She put the cup on the table and looked at Aron with

confusion.

"Slow down." Aron said, wiping her face.

"He is right. Be careful." Mike agreed smiling. Mike was in a good mood for Joanna had woken up.

"Aron, are you really going to marry Becky?" Joanna looked terrified, gripping Aron by his hand.

She had been satisfied with Becky before. But since the accident, she couldn't even look at her her

anymore. She now understood why Aron had been so reluctant to marry Becky.

Before she had lost her consciousness, she felt glad that Aron insisted on not getting married to her. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Otherwise, she would have to face a wretched woman at home every day.

"Joanna, have a good sleep now. Don't think too much. We will talk about it later." As Joanna had just

waken up, he didn't want to displease her. That was why he changed the subject.

"No, you must tell me now. Didn't you refuse to marry her? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Joanna asked, eyes wide and bewildered. She couldn't fathom out why Aron was suddenly in a

different position about Becky.

"I..." Aron frowned, not knowing how to explain.

"It was my doing. He still can't forget Isla. But I couldn't allow him to marry that vicious woman.

Besides, Becky has kept him company for four years. We shouldn't fail her..." Mike spoke.

"You liked Becky so much. I thought that you might wake up with sheer joy knowing that they will get

married. So I forced him to marry Becky. Now the date of their wedding has been fixed and invitations

have been sent out. So you have to get your strength back so you can attend their wedding."

"No, they can't get married." Joanna strongly objected. "Aron can't get married to Becky!"

Joanna's words confused Mike. "Why not? Didn't you always want to see them get married? Now, Aron

finally agreed. Why do you..."

"Because..." Joanna frowned. She didn't know how to explain this to Mike. After all, he had been

treating Becky as his own granddaughter. She was afraid that Mike would be shocked if he found out

the truth.

"I don't know how to explain this to you, " she continued. "But in short, I don't agree to their marriage.

They can't get married."

"You go to the Zhang family now and tell them that their wedding is called off. Otherwise, you will be

ruining Aron's happiness, " she raised her voice, feeling her chest hurt.

"I made this decision for his sake." Mike retorted, frowning. "Now the date has been settled, and the

invitations have been sent. If we cancel their wedding, the reputation of our family will be destroyed. Do

you think the Zhang family will allow this?"

"I don't care whether they agree or not. I can't let this happen." Joanna insisted resolutely, looking

serious. Mike felt more bewildered.

"Anna, what is going on? Why do you suddenly oppose their marriage now?" Mike asked, looking

confused.
