The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 673 A Pretentious Holley

The nurse laughed sarcastically and said to George,"We were so astonished to see that such a beautiful girl nearly got disfigured by your mother. I'll feel pity for her if that happened!" "It's impossible!" said George in disbelief. "There is no way that my mother would do such a thing."

In George's eyes, Donna was a mother whom he knew to be kind, tolerant and elegant. She would never do such a disgraceful thing. 'How could she be here? She didn't even know which hospital Holley is in, George thought.

"So you want to imply that we're all lying to you?" said the nurse with a sneer on her face. "Come and have a look at your girlfriend's face. How do you explain that scar? Would you say that it was us who left that scar on her face?"

she mockingly said as she turned Holley's face to George. Holley's swollen, red face was clearly shown to him. Some parts of her face still had fresh scratches. She looked miserable.

Her lips were swollen too. The moment she found George was looking at her she suddenly looked away. She said to the nurse, "I'm fine Miss. Please stop talking about it."

"Is this Mr. Han?" The doctor also couldn't contain himself and commented that such a beautiful girl shouldn't be beaten. He grinned with dissatisfaction and told George,"I wanted to stay out of your business because this is about your family."

The doctor stopped for some time and continued to speak, "But Miss Ye is now my patient. I have the right to protect my patient."

He looked at George. "I don't care what conflicts are there between your mother and Miss Ye. Please go and warn your mother that if she ever comes back to this hospital and does such things again, I will call the police. The police won't treat her differently whether she is a foreigner or not."

After hearing the doctor's words, George finally believed that it was Donna who had beaten Holley in the hospital.

He responded to the doctor with a cold voice, "Don't you worry, Doc. If my mother really did it, I will make it up for Holley." After the doctor and the nurse went out of the room, Holley laid on the bed and turned her face to conceal it from George. George walked towards the bedside and said, "Honey, let me take a look at your face."

"No, George. There's no need for that," answered Holley. She turned and tried to hide her face again. She didn't want George to see her ugly face at that moment. She said with bitterness,"I must be really ugly by now. Don't look at me."

George felt so sad seeing Holley acting that way. He grabbed Holley's hands and said, "Holley, let me have a look. No matter how you look, you are always the most beautiful woman in the world to me." "George, please don't flatter me with your sweet words," Holley said with a calm voice. "I must look terrible now."

George frowned. Then he held her head and gently turned it to face him. Looking at the scars on her face, he asked, "Tell me. Are these scars really left by my mother?"

"No honey. Don't listen to them," answered Holley. Inside her, Holley was unhappy about his question. 'The reality is already glaring in front of him and yet he still doesn't believe it,' thought Holley.

'So let it be. Let him see how tolerant and considerate I can be. And he'll feel so guilty after that,' she thought to herself.

"How could Mrs. Han do such terrible things?" she said tenderly with her head down. "These scars were inflicted by me when I carelessly scratched myself."

George paused and engagingly spoke, "Holley, I know you are just saying this to make me feel better, but I want to know the truth. Did my mother do this to you?"

Holley shook her head. "No, it's not her, George. Mrs. Han is nice to me. I felt terrible to make her wait for so long yesterday. I'm pretty sure she was uncomfortable about it. Could you extend my apologies to her, please? That might make her feel better."

Holley tightened her grip on George's hands nervously. "She is your mother. And whatever she does is right. I shouldn't blame her."

Holley pretended to be a tender and considerate girlfriend in front of George, but her words also indirectly told George that Donna did beat her in the hospital.

George didn't respond to Holley's words. He brought out the food he bought and said, "You should eat something."

George said that with a somewhat scary, poker face. Holley tried to spoon the food but was stopped by George. He said, "Honey, you are now a patient. Let me do this for you."

"It's just a few scratches. I'm okay," said Holley. However, George insisted on feeding her on his own.

Holley conceded first, but stopped eating after a few bites and gave the excuse of having no appetite.

George put the bowl aside and helped Holley to lie down. He said, "You should have some rest. I have to go and deal with something."

"Where are you going, honey?" asked Holley.

"I have a couple of issues to take care of in the company. I'll come back immediately after everything's done," answered George in an emotionless voice.

After he tucked Holley in, George left the hospital in a hurry. The first thing he did when he got into his car was to call Donna and inquire about her location.

Donna and Sula went out for dinner after they left the hospital. Donna sneered after she heard her cellphone rang and saw that George was calling. Then she blurted, "That bitch must have told everything and complained to George."

"So what do we do now, Aunt Donna?" asked Sula nervously.

"Why panic, Sula?" Donna sneered again, "It wasn't us who beat her."

Donna picked up the cellphone and talked to George like nothing had happened,"Hello, George? What's going on, son?"

"Where are you, mother?" George asked with a cold voice. In his point of view, Holley should be very respectful to his mother because she was the woman who had given him birth and raised him.

But he can't bear the thought that Donna had beaten his girlfriend.

And he felt so guilty when Holley tried to cover for Donna after what the latter had done to her. Holley was so considerate that she just wanted to tolerate what his mother did.

"I'm having dinner with Sula. You can come and join us," answered Donna coyly. Without uttering any other word, George hung up the phone abruptly after he learned the address.

Sula looked at Donna and said, "Aunt Donna, I think we were too compulsive this afternoon. After all that had happened, George must felt very sorry for that bitch. He must be coming here to defend her. I'm one hundred percent sure that he will ask us to apologize to that whore."

Donna also regretted what they have done. But she hadn't expected that she would have lost control of herself under that circumstance.
