You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 613 Michelle Is Ill

There were tall plants on both sides of the road, and they scattered the sunlight beautifully.

Looking at the scene, Michelle was dazzled by its beauty.

She narrowed her eyes when she saw the man that she had been in love with three years ago. Leon was no longer carrying her on his back, and there was already another woman with him, wearing a light green dress.

Michelle was holding Berry's arm, so when she stopped, Berry did too. Berry turned around and saw that Michelle's expression was paler than before.

"Mimi, what's the matter with you? Why do you look so dull?" Berry asked in a concerned voice.

"Nothing." Berry's question pulled Michelle back to reality, making her force a smile to assure her that she was okay. "Why don't we wait for Nini?"

"Okay." Without thinking too much, Berry looked at the man walking in front of them and asked, "Leon? Who's that woman next to him?" Hearing that, Michelle blurted out, "Valerie."

"That's Valerie?" Shocked, Berry tried to rub her eyes and look again, but the woman was already gone. "Are you serious? Is that really her?"

"Yep, that's definitely her. Her favorite color is light green." Saying that, Michelle was about to think of the past, but Berry's words interrupted her thoughts.

"You know Valerie?" Berry asked, unable to recover from the shock. "It's just as I thought!"

"I met her once," Michelle replied absent-mindedly.

"If you've only met her once, how do you know that her favorite color is light green?" Berry asked, rolling her eyes at her as she wondered about the nature of the relationship between Leon and Valerie. 'Didn't Valerie say that she hated Leon and elope with another man? Why are they walking like a couple in love, laughing and talking happily?

Where is that man that Valerie left Leon for? Why would he even allow them to hang out in private like a couple?' Berry wondered.

Michelle couldn't tell what was on her mind. Her mind was in a mess like the slice of strawberry cake that had been knocked over and fallen onto the ground back then.

"She told me that Leon likes seeing her in light green dresses as they look good on her," she said in a low voice.

"Why did she even tell you that?" Berry asked. She had always hated Valerie, not because she dumped Nina's brother, but because she simply looked down upon her.

Valerie was the one who had seduced Leon, and then she had left him for another man. But the others thought that Leon was the one harassing her.

Thinking of that, Berry glared with contempt. She couldn't help but despise Valerie. "Is something wrong with Valerie's head? Why would she tell you that the first time she met you? Was she trying to declare that Leon was his? By the way, why did you even meet her?"

'So she was declaring Leon was his, huh?'

Michelle thought to herself. She did not believe that was the reason, and she felt that what Valerie said that day made sense.

However, she reminded herself that it was all in the past, and that she should forget about it.

"Don't think too much about it," Michelle replied with a grin.

That moment, Nina walked to them after parking her car and asked, "Why are you two standing here?"

"Nini! There is a tree right next to us, offering us shade, so we thought we'd wait for you right here," Michelle said in a joyous tone as she hugged Nina.

"Well, you can get better shade indoors," Nina teased as she took a step forward. Then, they all took the same path as Leon and Valerie.

"Nina, what's going on between your brother and Valerie? Mimi and I just saw them walking together, like a happy couple. Did they get back together?" Berry could not help but ask.

Michelle kept her eyes glued to the ground, but she was all ears.

'Is Leon dating Valerie?

When did they get back together?

Was it three years ago?

But Valerie never mentioned it back then, she just said that...' Michelle thought to herself.

"I haven't heard anything about that. I don't ask my brother about his love life, and he doesn't talk to me about that kind of stuff, either. I did hear from Wynn that Leon sent him to look for Valerie three years ago, though," Nina answered slowly.

"I am not surprised. That's exactly what I guessed. When I heard that he was bringing Bryant to Lexingport City, I knew that he was unwilling to give up on his feelings for Valerie," Berry said with a sigh. Nina turned to look at Berry, who then continued, "Think about it. Why did he bring Bryant here? He has the best relationship with Valerie. What other reason could there be, if not to find Valerie? Moreover, even though Bryant is a Feng, they never really took care of him. In fact, they even bullied him. Why would the Feng family give Bryant the plum job? The only sensible explanation for this is that Leon forced Bryant to come here in order to help him find Valerie,"

Berry said with confidence.

"You call it a plum job?" Nina asked thoughtfully.

"Isn't it? The Feng Group is owned by Bryant and I am sure that he has much more wealth than just the company. And your dowry won't be any less. Can you at least pretend like you're not that modest?" Berry asked, rolling her eyes at Nina.

"We know that Bryant is just a manager hired by your brother, but no one else knows that, so they still think of him as a very powerful man. With the kind of love that your family showers upon you along with their wealth, I am sure that Bryant will make the Feng Group just as powerful as the Time Group. Then, Bryant will become the most powerful Feng, stronger than the Feng family on C Island."

Nina knew that Berry was not exaggerating as it seemed to be the exact way in which the Feng Group was obtaining power.

However, the Feng Group was not actually owned by someone with the surname Feng, but it was owned by someone with the surname Lu.

"How can they expect to become a business tycoon just by sticking to the field of medicine? They need to expand their business to other products if they want to compete with or match up to the levels of the Time Group.

Besides, with the kind of resources on C Island, it would not take that long to succeed,"

Berry added and Nina responded with a nod.

But Michelle seemed to be strangely quiet.

She could neither get into their conversation, nor could she forget Berry's words.

"I knew that he was unwilling to give up on his feelings for Valerie."

"The only sensible explanation for this is that Leon forced Bryant to come here in order to help him find Valerie."

Michelle finally understood that the important thing Leon had mentioned three years ago was to find the woman he loved.

The warm golden light from the setting sun shone on Michelle's face, but her heart remained cold.

"Mimi, are you sick? You don't look so good." Seeing Michelle so quiet, Nina reached out and gently touched her forehead.

Berry also turned around to look at her and said, "Yeah, you look a little pale. Are you sure you're okay?"

Michelle wondered, 'Am I sick?'

It became clear to her that she was indeed sick. Since she found she fell in love with Leon three years ago, she would feel weak every time she saw him.

She had thought she could recover if she didn't see him again.

But she was wrong. Since the day she left the country, she had started missing him, her feelings growing stronger with each passing day.

And that only made her feel weaker.

Michelle could not figure out the reason behind her sickness, so she had visited the doctor, who had told her that she had not been getting enough sleep, but she did not agree with him.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
