You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 399

That night,

Nina was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, carefully applying products for her nightly skincare regimen. Rebecca stood beside her and watched her every move.

"Rebecca, I want to sleep now." Nina stood up and walked to the bed, yawning. She did look like she was about to nod off at any moment.

Rebecca knew that pregnant women tended to feel more sleepy than usual, so she didn't think too much about why the princess wanted to go to bed so early that night.

She waved her hand to dismiss the other maids from the room. After Nina tucked herself in, Rebecca personally drew the gauze canopy for her. "Good night, Your Highness."

"Good night, Rebecca." Nina slowly closed her eyes, and soon her deep, even breathing was heard.

Rebecca turned off the light and left.

The bright moon was hanging low at the place where the sea and the sky met. The dark blue sky was full of shiny stars that constantly blinked at the dark sea.

The sparkling sea gently rippled under the reflection of a castle. Yellow light shone from some of the rooms.

It was late by the time all of the lights were turned off.

A faint blue light, as wispy and ephemeral as smoke, suddenly appeared in a dark room.

The light shone from under Nina's canopy.

Nina lifted the quilt and sat cross-legged on the bed. She placed the watch in the middle of the bed sheet, and the virtual screen appeared in the air half a meter away from the bed.

She logged into her WeChat account, and there were many messages waiting to be read.

Michelle was at the top of the list.

"Nini, where have you been? Don't you want to see me?"

"Nini, they told me that you drowned. That's not true, is it? I don't believe it!"

"Nini, where are you? Tell me where you are, and I'll be right there, wherever that is."

"Can't you reply to me? I can't get in touch with you anymore. I miss you so much. Dad and Mom are crying. They miss you too."

"Nini! My Nini..."

"Are you pretending to be dead because you want to piss Uncle John off? Fine, you can play tricks on him, but let me in on it. Let's trick him together. I won't tell others."

"Nini, you can't die."

"Nini, if you see my messages, please let me know that you're okay, got it?"

"I'm begging you, Nini..."

The words "I'm begging you" hit Nina the hardest. Her eyes started to overflow, and her tears fell on the bed.

Nina quickly typed on the virtual keyboard to reply to Michelle. "Mimi, dearest, I'm fine. Don't cry. I was taken home by my mother. Don't worry about me. I'll send you a photo, okay? I'm totally fine."

"For the time being, my mother doesn't allow me to be in contact with you. I'm doing this secretly. I need you to know that I am fine. Take care of yourself, okay?"

Nina took a selfie of herself grinning and sent it to Michelle.

There was a time difference between C Island and Lexingport City. It was twelve o'clock at night on C Island, which meant that it was four in the morning in Lexingport City. At this time, Michelle was sound asleep, so she did not see Nina's replies.

Next, Nina clicked on Noah's name, which was ranked No. 2 in the message list. She didn't have time to look up at all of the messages; she only checked those he had sent recently.

"Nini, your sudden disappearance makes us very anxious."

"Are you okay? Where are you?"

"I know you will be fine."

"When you can contact me, remember to send me a message and let me know how you're doing."

"By the way, I've applied to be transferred back to Spring City."

"Nini, remember to tell me your current situation. If you need any help, I will do my best."

With a smile on her lips, Nina replied, "You are indeed smart and awesome, Noah. People's bullshit never gets past you. Don't worry. I'm fine. My mother took me back to C Island, and she doesn't allow me to contact any of you."

She thought for a while and sent another message. "If possible, I hope that you can come to C Island and find me."
