You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 480 Still Remember Him

Noah felt so embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.

He broke out into a cold sweat.

John narrowed his eyes. He knew that Noah liked Nina, but she wasn't aware of that.

He clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles.

Leon and Vicente silently sat in place and leaned forward, blocking the path between Noah and John.

Leon was just worried that they'd start fighting and wake Nina up. Vicente was worried that she would get hurt too once they started fighting.

"Ford, I need to know how to make her regain her memories." As soon as Noah finished talking, John stopped cracking his knuckles.

John thought, 'He still has a conscience and knows that nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable.'

He felt the fiery rage build inside himself.

"No. I'm not involved in the research and development of the Memory Charm. I only know that the drug injected into Nina's body may be finished or defective. I don't have any information about the drug; it has been taken away." Hearing some odd sounds come through the phone, Ford decided to hide what he knew about the Memory Charm.

He thought, 'Boss told me to give the information to Noah.

Maybe he just wanted Noah to have the option of keeping Nina or not.

It's up to Noah, but I don't know whether he is being threatened or not now.'

Ford decided to keep the information a secret. His answer completely shattered Noah's, John's and Leon's hopes.

"Okay, thank you." Noah hung up the phone.

They all fell into silence again.

After some time, John spoke up. "I'll put on a mask and stay with them."

The problem seemed to be settled, but in reality this was the only solution anyway.

Only the four of them knew about it.

John moved into the castle of the Nangong family and became Van and Don's bodyguard. He wore a mask all day long, pretending like he had gruesome scars plastering his face so they had to be covered. He also acted as if he couldn't speak.

However, his tall hulking figure was enough to attract the attention of the maids in the castle. One maid in particular was Cali.

"Your Ladyship, do you still remember the bodyguard I mentioned? He's going to come to the hospital to pick up Van and Don later." Cali was busy packing for Nina.

After staying in the hospital for more than a month, Nina could finally go back to the castle. She was just thankful that she didn't have to smell the hospital disinfectant anymore.

Van and Don didn't need to be in incubators anymore, and they could stay with their mom now. Nina held one of them in each arm, swaying them gently.

"You mean Sean? I've heard you mention him many times." Nina gently smiled at her little babies. "Van, Don, you are so well behaved. I love you so much."

Cali hesitated for a moment and asked shyly, "Can you help me get his phone number?"

"What?" Nina looked at Cali, who was about her age. "Why don't you just ask him?"

"I can't." Cali sounded a little dejected. "He can't speak, so I want his number to actually start talking to him."

Cali had never asked Nina for anything, let alone for help. After thinking for a while, Nina agreed, "I'll give it a try."

"Thank you, Your Ladyship!" Cali excitedly bowed to Nina.

Nina smiled. "Don't mention it."

Just before they finished packing, Leon and Noah arrived to pick Nina up. Vicente didn't come because she was busy setting up the babies' one-month-old banquet. "Nina, are you ready to go?" Then Leon reached out his hands towards the babies. "Give one of the babies to me."

Their faces were no longer all wrinkled. They were pink and tender and quite adorable. Even though they were a little thin, they looked much better than before. Nina handed Don to him and sarcastically remarked, "You all like the children so much that nobody seems to care about me anymore."

"There is one person who always cares about you," Leon said cautiously, holding the baby carefully.

He was obviously talking about John.

Nina didn't know that though. She smiled and said, "Noah."

Noah smiled gently, but bitterness still clouded his heart. He pretended to just be oblivious.

Nina was really clingy to him over the past month, but it wasn't anything special. Not only him, but everyone else who saw them knew that it wasn't love.

Noah wondered whether he should keep an eye on Cali in case she found out something that she wasn't supposed to. However, Cali didn't suspect that anything was different about Noah and Nina's relationship.

Noah found that Nina just treated him as a good friend.

Nina was the only one who didn't realize this. Since she found out about the memory loss from her head injury, she became more and more unconscious about her relationship with Noah.

However, she always kept a distance from Noah, as if it was an instinctive reaction that her body had developed.

Noah hugged Van and said, "Let's go back. The babies' party is tonight and a bunch of guests are going to be there."

"Okay." Nina got out of bed, tidied herself up and stood up with a beautiful glow about her.

It was hard to tell from her ruddy face and graceful figure that she was a mother of two children. She looked like a teenage girl.

No wonder John always called her little girl.

Cali went out with the luggage. Nina circled in front of Noah and said with a smile, "Noah, I think I'm fine now. Although I lost some memories, it doesn't matter. Let's make some new memories together." The smile on Nina's face seemed to captivate Noah completely. He actually felt like her husband in that moment.

He was just a man; hearing the woman he liked say those words to him, tempted every fiber of his being. He summoned up all his willpower and looked away, not speaking.

"Noah, are you sad again?" Nina's smile gradually disappeared. "You try to hide it, but I know sadness plagues you every night before you fall asleep." "What?" Noah looked at her in surprise. "How do you know?"

"

"I've been sleeping light recently. I feel comfortable when there's someone next to me, but I don't dare open my eyes to see who it is." Nina pursed her lips.

"And you cry. I feel your tears drop onto my face every night. I'm afraid to open my eyes because I don't want you to feel ashamed. I know you always try to save face. Of course, I'm bringing it up now and I don't mean to shame you." Nina smiled.

The joy suddenly drained from her face and she continued, "But your tears are salty and bitter."

Just last night, she tasted the bitterness.

Noah didn't know how to respond.

He thought, 'John is the one that makes you feel at ease.

It's John who always wants to save face.

It's John who cries beside you when you fall asleep.

The bitter and salty tears belong to John.

Even though your memory is blurred, deep down you are always going to remember him.'00
