You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 796

When Tim arrived on the floor where Michelle's ward was on, he was stopped by a tall and menacing bodyguard.

"You can't pass without Mr. Lu's permission," the bodyguard said.

Tim glared at him, but the man merely pushed his sunglasses higher on his nose and continued to look straight ahead.

Pointing rudely at the bodyguard, Victor demanded, "What? We're here to visit Michelle. Why aren't you letting us through?"

The bodyguard only repeated expressionlessly, "You can't pass without Mr. Lu's permission."

"Fuck that! You'd better let us through or I'll beat you up!" Victor liked using brute force and crude language to threaten others. "Don't you know who Mr. Shen is? Everyone in Lexingport City should show this man some respect! Who do you think you are?"

The hospital was so quiet that Victor's loud voice echoed across the hall.

"Shut up. You're too noisy," Tim said with a scowl.

Victor was stunned silent for a few moments.

His expression became one of embarrassment as he sidled up to his boss. He whispered, "I'm doing this for you, Mr. Shen. Why are you telling me off?"

Tim merely glanced at him, and that was enough to shut Victor up.

They heard footsteps coming up from behind them.

After parking her car, Caroline made her way to Michelle's ward and was surprised to see the men who had stolen her parking space.

'What a coincidence!

It turns out that we're all here to see Michelle.

But it looks like they have been barred from entering.'

Pleased that they had gotten karmic justice, she walked over to them. With a smile directed at Tim, she told the bodyguard, "Hi, I'm Caroline Yu! I'm a friend of Mimi's."

The bodyguard stepped aside politely and said, "Michelle informed us of your arrival, Miss Yu. Please come in."

"Thank you." Caroline stepped closer to Tim and whispered, "If you agree to do one thing for me, I'll try to get permission for you to enter."

She looked up at him with bright eyes and a knowing smile.

'A temptress.'

This was Tim's first impression of the woman before him. Even though he thought of her as a flirt, she was different from the vulgar women at the Silverhall Nightclub. Caroline was charming and seductive.

She wasn't inviting physical relations, but she knew how to seduce people into agreeing to her conditions.

Having dated different women for many years, Tim had seen all kinds of temptresses but never one like Caroline.

She wasn't a stunning beauty, but the elegant way she carried herself made her hard to ignore.

Tim scowled back at her smiling face with narrowed eyes.

Then he glanced at the bodyguard who was blocking his way from entering the corridor. There was another bodyguard standing by the door to Michelle's room. If he decided to use force, he would have some difficulty making it through.

Finally, he nodded.

Caroline's face lit up. She asked, "What's your name?"

"Tim Shen," Victor answered for him with his head held high.

"I see. How do you spell that?"

Looking at her coldly, Tim muttered, "T-I-M. Tim."

Caroline was momentarily stunned by how unfriendly he was.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Tim. My name is Caroline."

"I know." He had already investigated Michelle's family, friends and acquaintances.

Caroline looked surprise but then she smiled. "I'm honored. Okay. Wait here."

She walked past him and headed to Michelle's ward. The second bodyguard opened the door to let her pass and then shut it after her.

The swelling on Michelle's ankle had subsided. She stood before a mirror, wearing thick pajamas and cotton slippers. She had been fiddling with a hat when the door to her room opened.

She turned toward the sound.

"Cara!" Michelle casually walked over to Caroline. Although her ankle had stopped swelling, it still hurt when she walked fast so she made an effort to slow down her pace. "You've come at the right time. Pick a hat for me."
