You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 785

Nina was taken aback by her own thoughts and said, "How about I smell Mimi?"

John slipped his arm around her slender waist. His fingers curled against her skin, unintentionally tickling her.

But his expression was serious as he replied, "She must be smelling disinfectant. She did just come from an operating room."

"That's true." It wasn't as if Nina really wanted to smell Michelle. Sooner or later, she was going to find out if Leon and Michelle were secretly in love.

Anyway, their relationship was nobody's business but their own. Another thought crossed her mind.

'If Mimi and Leon really love each other, will they get married?

Emma and Mimi are my friends. One is married to my husband's nephew, and the other is going to marry my brother.'

Nina felt a little awkward.

She nudged John with her elbow until the man bent down to bring his head closer to hers. "What?" he whispered.

"Are they in a relationship?" Nina asked. She remembered what Leon had looked like when she had rushed to meet him at the hospital. His eyes had become red from crying and there were tear tracks on his face.

At the time, she had felt that something was off.

Now, Leon was sitting on the edge of Michelle's bed. Even though he was busy delegating his work, he would check on the young woman every few minutes before looking at the IV drip with a worried expression.

Before John could answer her, Nina became certain. "Leon likes Mimi."

"Yes," John confirmed, looking unsurprised by this revelation.

He had learned about Leon's feelings for Michelle three years ago.

Afraid that he would miss the moment Michelle regained consciousness, Leon vigilantly kept watch. He was so focused on his girlfriend that he nearly forgot that there were two other people in the room. One of the two seemed to be able to see through everything while the other was good at observing minute changes in people's expressions.

When he heard whispering behind his back, he stiffened for a moment.

He tried to cover up his surprise by saying, "Read the mood or get a room, you two."

"Read the mood or get a room," Nina echoed playfully. She fixed her gaze upon him with a mysterious grin.

Leon had an idea of what his sister was up to so he smiled back at her and replied, "I'm just waiting for her to wake up."

His words neither denied nor admitted anything.

The corners of Nina's lips curved up even more.

She opened her mouth to speak, but Leon interrupted her.

"Nini, can you contact Michelle's parents for me? Tell them that she is on a business trip and will be gone for a short period of time. Let's not make them worry about her."

Nina nodded and pulled out her phone. "No one tells their family by proxy that they're going on a business trip, especially at night. So for now, I'll tell them that Mimi's staying at my home. We'll let her validate our story when she wakes up."

"I didn't think of it that way. Thank you, Nini." Leon smiled gratefully at her.

He and John remained quiet as Nina talked with Elaine. Because the story was plausible and Nina said it convincingly, Michelle's mother did not suspect a thing.

With that solved, the next problem was who was going to stay at the hospital to watch over Michelle.

Leon and Nina spoke in unison, "I'll stay."

John's face morphed into a reluctant frown.

Leon was stunned for a second but he chuckled. "Nini, I know how busy you are. I'm free. Let me do it."
