Only you in my love novel Chapter 446

Brian checked on Vivian and said in surprise, "Miss Ye doesn't have a fever. Her temperature is normal."

Julie thought she and Vivian would be doomed. Howard suddenly said, "So how did she pass out from her headache? Is it some sort of mental problem?"

He was trying to make an excuse.

Julie didn't get his point and retorted, "How could Vivi have a mental problem? Don't..."

Vivian squeezed her mother's hand, warning her to watch her mouth. As expected, Julie shut up instantly.

"Doctor, I don't know what's wrong with me. I just felt dizzy and a surge of weakness spread through my body, so I fainted." Vivian squinted her eyes, pretending to be light-headed and ill.

She reached out and rubbed her temples. A couple tears fell from her eyes and slid across her cheeks.

"I saw John..." Thinking of watching the car run into the river, Vivian choked through her sobs. "He had an accident. I...I..."

She trailed off, but it was enough for Brian to understand.

Brian was shocked and asked, "What happened to Mr. Shi?"

"A car accident." Howard's voice was filled with sorrow. He glanced at his crying daughter and thought she was indeed smart.

Unlike Julie, Vivian immediately got his point.

"Could this be causing her this discomfort?" Howard asked the doctor.

"Maybe it's a stress response," Brian suggested.

The Ye family members sighed in relief. Chester wasn't as convinced though. He frowned and couldn't help wondering if Vivian was just pretending.

Whether she was pretending didn't matter though. Now that she could speak, she had to clear it up.

"Aunt, Miss Ye is awake," Chester reminded Jessica.

"Vivi, how do you feel?" Jessica asked Vivian politely. But before Vivian could even answer, she continued, "Did you install the bug in the necklace?"

"What?" Vivian pretended to be astonished. She held the necklace in her hand and checked it again and again in disbelief with her hands trembling. "How could there be a bug? Where did it come from? I didn't put that in there.

Jessica, it's not me. I didn't install this bug. How could I do that?" She looked at Jessica with her innocent and watery eyes.

"Really?" Jessica looked down at her.

A person could lie, but their eyes almost always give them up. If she was lying, her eyes would show the truth.

Jessica stared at Vivian, waiting to see if she would crack and spill the beans. Vivian, however, didn't show any signs of guilt or nervousness, only getting more and more aggrieved instead. Vivian's eyes were like two pools full of water, almost overflowing with tears.

She looked so distressed that it was difficult not to feel sorry for her.

Indeed, eyes couldn't lie, but they could be taught to hide one's intentions. Since the moment Vivian was taken back to the Ye family, she had been sharpening her acting skills to perfection.

As long as she kept telling herself that she didn't know anything about it, her eyes wouldn't give her up. In a sense, it was like she was tricking herself to keep up this facade.

Jessica believed Vivian and asked, "If it's not you, then who is it?"

"I don't know." Vivian was still adamant that she was as shocked as them, but she couldn't hide the mischievous glint flashing through her eyes.

Chester was too keen-eyed and he saw it instantly.

Nina taught him that a person would always reveal their true feelings, even if only for a quarter of a second. This was called a micro expression.

It was an incredibly difficult thing to see and only after a ton of training could one master the talent of spotting it.

When he was in North Yard, Nina always asked him to practice observing other people's micro expressions. As time went by, this split second was more than enough for Chester to spot what people were truly feeling.

Chester saw the smugness on Vivian's face.

It seemed that he was right all along. Vivian did put the bug in the necklace, but there wasn't any hard evidence.
