Leon took the phone. The lock screen photo was a picture of a cup and some strawberries strewn about a white table.
The phone had a cute pink rabbit pendant dangling from one corner. Trying the passcode from three years ago, Leon tapped the number eight four times, but it didn't unlock the phone.
He then tried Michelle's birthday, but it was wrong once again.
Looking at Michelle as she slept, Leon frowned slightly. He noticed how her lips were dry and pale. "How can you abandon your lucky number? What else is more important than good luck?" he whispered.
Maybe it was his birthday, Leon thought to himself. He entered the digits and paused before tapping the last one.
He thought he was too narcissistic.
Quickly, he shook the thought from his mind and entered the last number.
The phone unlocked with a sound.
Surprise filled Leon's eyes. Not only was the passcode his birthday, but the wallpaper was also a picture of them. In it, he was holding an umbrella, standing next to her.
It was a candid photo taken when he went to the Lost and Found Office to pick up Michelle.
The smile on her face in the photo was radiant. Did this mean that he was more important to her than good luck?
It did seem so.
Michelle was not rich but she promised to take care of Leon. She even gave him her bank card. One time, she also bought him a shaver worth thousands of dollars as a present. Knowing that he liked lotus-petal-shaped orchids, she gave him one worth tens of thousands of dollars. With all her efforts, she must be running out of money.
At this moment, it was as if an invisible hand was pricking Leon's heart with a needle.
Only now did he realize how important he was to Michelle.
Standing up, he touched her cheek with one hand before bending over to kiss her forehead. When his cold lips touched her delicate skin, he felt hot all of a sudden.
Affection filled his gentle eyes as he lifted his lips from her forehead.
Valerie saw their intimate moment from outside the ward. Resentment slowly filled her heart. She held her handbag tightly, badly creasing the surface.
She knocked on the door and walked in.
Leon turned around and saw her enter the room. "Why are you here?" he asked in confusion.
"The head of our dance team said that the Feng Group representative was absent when they signed the sponsorship agreement. My cousin told me that you were the representative, but you left halfway into the meeting without signing the contract." With a cold look, Valerie glanced over at Michelle as she was lying down in the bed.
"It turns out that Michelle is sick. No wonder. I called Charles, and he said that you were here. I thought you were sick, so I came in a hurry.
By the way, what's wrong with Michelle? Is she okay?"
"She caught a cold because of the rain. She had a fever just now." Leon touched Michelle's forehead. "Her fever is gone. She will be fine when she wakes up."
"That's good." Valerie tried her best to show her concern. She stared at Leon and noticed he couldn't move his eyes away from Michelle and hide his smile. She was so agitated that she turned around and poured herself a glass of water.
She was not thirsty but felt upset.
In the past, Leon had been in love with her. He did everything to make her stay by his side. After she had left for four years, Leon had fallen in love with another woman. Michelle also left for a couple of years, yet he still liked her.
Both Baker and Leon had disappointed her.
