662: HE IS ALMOST DEAD

HE IS ALMOST DEAD

When she came back, Apple could see Pyro and Misha, sitting and watching the news. This scene was really strange for her, because usually Misha would hurry to the office first thing in the morning and attend to his things.0

He rarely even looked relaxed and was always well-dressed, but this time, he didn't even change his clothes from the ones he wore yesterday and his hair looked really unkept.

Whatever happened, it seemed like it was a big problem for him, because it bothered him to this extent.

Apple was really curious about the problem between Misha and the mysterious woman he was dating. Should she ask Jayden to look into the matter?

Apple shuddered, since when did she become a busybody and interfere with other people's business, especially when it was a matter that concerned Misha…

This man would be furious if he found out that someone was looking for something he didn't want to talk about.

"I went to a cafe nearby and bought this. I tried it earlier and it tasted really good," said Apple as she walked into the kitchen. She took out one of the calamaries she bought earlier and plated it in two plates, which she gave to Pyro and Misha who were still watching the news.

Meanwhile, Apple started eating the other serving herself. She liked the taste and even though she had eaten one portion earlier, she still wanted to eat it again.

"Why did you go to the cafe so early?" Pyro asked with a confused face, because there was no reason for Apple to leave and he was feeling a little strange.

For a moment, Apple was silent, her fork halted in the air with a piece of calamari. She thought for a moment whether she should lie or not, but then she decided to tell the truth.

Because it was not impossible that her mother would come to see them again after what she had tried to pull this morning.

"Mom's here," Apple said in a calm voice, as if she wasn't saying anything surprising, then she continued eating again. "Mother came to ask if the news circulating about my relationship with the male model was true."

Hearing this, Pyro's face hardened, because he immediately knew what was going on in Nadia's mind and what the real reason for her to suddenly appear after ten years of not showing up at all to ask about Apple.

However, what Apple said next really took Pyro by surprise.

"She has a child with that man," she said. "A seven year old boy."

"What?!" Pyro turned around and then rolled his wheelchair into the kitchen to have a face-to-face conversation with Apple. "So you have a half-brother now?"

Apple stopped eating and thought for a moment, before she continued again. "I guess so," she said slowly.

Pyro raised his eyebrows to find out if his daughter was feeling something or if she was feeling a little sad or upset about it.

"Then how do you feel now?" Pyro asked again, because he couldn't read what was really going on in Apple's mind right now.

It was just that Apple just shrugged her shoulders as she continued to eat. Even though she had breakfast and had eaten a portion of calamari at the cafe earlier, she was still hungry.

"I don't know," Apple replied casually. "I didn't think about it at all. I don't feel anything." Apple admitted honestly.

After all, how could she possibly feel anything when she hadn't even seen her brother? Or her mother in the past ten years for that matter?

"Then what did she say?" asked Pyro quickly. He didn't want Nadia to hurt Apple with her words again, but Apple didn't seem affected at all after meeting her. She didn't show any emotion so to speak.

Apple then told what she talked about with her mother and also her request to be invited to her wedding later.

"Are you going to invite her?" Pyro asked carefully.

"I didn't think about it. Maybe I'll invite her, maybe not, it makes no difference to me." But then Apple stopped eating and looked at Pyro with a frown. "Dad, what marriage, I didn't even discuss this with Jayden yet."

Pyro then shook his head with a worried look on his face. "I just wanted to make sure you knew what your mother might have done."

Apple stared at Pyro for a moment then nodded before she continued eating again. "Yes, I know, there is no need to worry."

========================= 

"Jayden, I'm worried about your cousin..." Apple said in a low voice, peering into the living room, where Misha was still watching television.

He was in that position all day and only moved about when he needed to go to the toilet or to eat, otherwise, he just sat there watching television shows he didn't usually watch at all.

Pyro had tried to talk to him, but Misha didn't want to talk to him at all and even though night had long come and Pyro was asleep, Misha was still in the same position.

Of course Pyro couldn't fight the drowsiness, because of the drugs he was taking, but it had been hours since Misha was like a zombie and this was very worrying.

"When will you come? I have a feeling your cousin needs your help here. Maybe he will talk to you," Apple said again. She peeked at Misha from the slightly ajar door. "Looks like your cousin's problem is much worse than we thought."

"I'll be there in two hours," Jayden said, working on the important documents Misha had left behind.

Damn… he just realized how much work Misha had to take care of all this time, while the man in the question never seemed bothered at all.

But, it had only been a day since Misha had given up his duties and Jayden wanted to cry to beg his cousin to come back.

Well, he would appreciate Misha more after this.

"Just make sure he will still be breathing when I get there, okay?" Jayden told Apple over the phone.

"I'll try, even though it looks like he's almost dead now..."
