You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 665

Back then, Nina's disappearance had been so shocking that it had rocked Michelle's world. She had even gone to the Time Group and hit John.

She had never hit anyone in her life and yet she had hit John, the most terrifying man imaginable.

Even though John had tried his best to conceal the news, Michelle had found out and cried for a long time.

Her parents hadn't been around and it had been summer vacation. She had called Debra and Rainy.

The two had been freaked out by Michelle's swollen eyes. They had taken her to the hospital as soon as possible, fearing that all the crying could be causing some damage.

But after a few days, Michelle had become to her usual self.

It should have been a good thing but it had concerned them in reality. She had told them that Nina was still alive.

Her roommates had feared that there was something wrong with her. They had discussed whether they should find her a psychologist. Lydia had concluded that they should just observe her for a few days before making any decision.

After a period of careful observation, they had found out that Michelle was as normal as before, so they had given up on that idea.

Since then, no one in the dormitory dared to mention Nina. Austin also secretly talked to every classmate in the class and told them not to mention her.

It was at that time that Lydia began to suspect that Austin liked Michelle.

Anytime Michelle mentioned Nina, the whole class would act as if she moved to another school or something. They didn't want to remind her of the harsh truth because they feared it'd stimulate the sadness in her again.

Thinking of this, Debra couldn't help sighing. She patted her back like a mother and comforted her, "Don't cry. Everything will be fine."

She kept winking at Austin, begging for his help.

At a loss, Austin handed her a piece of tissue. He didn't know how to comfort Michelle.

He had never seen Michelle cry. Except for her roommates, no one in her class had seen her cry. She donned a warm smile every day that lit up every place she entered.

He always wondered why she was so happy all the time. He couldn't understand it especially because he had dealt with so many bleak aspects of his own life.

After investigating further, he realized that her family was something to envy. Her parents didn't force their opinions on her, nor did they pressure her to do anything.

This was far from his life. He made it clear that he wasn't going to compete for his family inheritance or property. His major had nothing to do with his family's business and he actively took another path.

His siblings still wouldn't let him go that easily though.

So he envied Michelle and began to pay attention to her. One day, he saw her flicking through a new book that gave her a paper cut. Her eyes immediately turned red as tears welled up in them.

He thought, 'This girl is so delicate.'

He didn't see any tears fall from her eyes though. Her eyes turned glassy as the tears welled up. She sniffed and looked up, refusing to let liquid drip from her eyes. She seemed to comfort herself softly while exhaling, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt."

She blew on it to ease the pain but couldn't find anything to stop the bleeding. He was so annoyed that she could be so stupid.

What was even more astonishing was the he heard her say to her own finger, "You small cut, if you continue bleeding, I'm going to bite you!"

She then followed through and actually bit it. It wasn't that pointless to be honest. Human saliva contains healing properties that stop bleeding and heal the skin after all.
