You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 797

As soon as Tim entered the room, Michelle demanded, "I told you that I was on a business trip. How did you know that I was here? Did you tell my parents that I've been hospitalized?"

"No. I hope you recover soon." Tim put the fruit basket on the table and handed the bouquet to her.

Michelle accepted the bouquet and sighed in relief. "You didn't tell my parents. That's good. I also told them that I was on a business trip because I was afraid they would worry about me if I told them the truth.

Thank you for the flowers and well wishes. I'm not a hundred percent healed but I'm a lot better than before. If I leave the hospital now, my parents will know that I got injured."

Glancing at the bouquet in her arms, Tim asked, "Do you like the flowers?"

"Yes, I do." Michelle looked around. "I'll find a vase to put them in."

"Let me do that. You're not yet fully recovered so you'd better not walk around too much." Caroline took the flowers from her and looked for a vase.

Tim's gaze dropped to Michelle's ankle. She was wearing fluffy slippers that had rabbit ears.

"Your foot is injured?"

"Yeah, I sprained my ankle." Michelle gently moved that foot around. "But it's gotten better."

Tim asked, "Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Michelle pointed at her head and admitted, "I accidentally fell."

"You accidentally fall?" Tim frowned, wanting to get a better look at the wound. He was slightly annoyed that the girl was wearing a hat.

After putting the flowers in a vase, Caroline returned to their side and added, "Yeah, she said that it was an accident. Maybe she slipped on something..."

Michelle just chuckled but said nothing.

She obviously didn't want to talk about it.

But Tim wanted to know more. He asked her instead, "When did the accident happen?"

"Last Thursday," Michelle answered him honestly.

Today was Wednesday so the incident had occurred nearly a week ago. It shouldn't be too difficult to have it investigated.

Tim seemed to be lost in thought. It looked unintentional as he inquired, "And what were you doing last Thursday before you hurt yourself?"

Michelle had yet to realize what Tim was getting at, but Caroline picked up on it immediately. Sensing something unusual, she looked back and forth between the two of them.

Although she didn't know Tim well, her first impression of him was that he wasn't talkative nor did he care much about others. So whoever he cared about would be very important to him.

'Does he like Mimi?'

Caroline observed the way Tim looked at Michelle. She noticed that he spoke in a lower volume as if he was afraid of frightening the girl.

'So that's a yes.

Wow. Men really find Mimi attractive.

Leon treats Mimi differently, and Tim... Wait!

Leon?

Valerie?'

An idea was forming in Caroline's mind. She murmured, "Really? What a coincidence!"

"What are you talking about?" Tim turned his gaze toward Caroline. He had a feeling that she knew something he didn't.

Michelle turned to look at Caroline at the same time.

Caroline looked at Michelle thoughtfully. "Last Thursday, you were in charge of Valerie's photo shoot, weren't you? Valerie is Leon's fiancee, isn't she?"

"No." Michelle shook her head. "She's not his fiancee. Leon broke up with her seven years ago. They have nothing to do with each other now."

Caroline was shocked by this new information. "Seven years ago?"

'What a complicated relationship!

Michelle has heard the rumors and knows the truth. Their lives are more tangled than I thought.'

Caroline asked, "Was it really an accident that you hurt your head?"

Michelle didn't answer. Everyone who came to visit her had asked this question. 'Is it really that obvious?

Or am I really that stupid?'

She kept trying her best to hide the truth because Leon said he had gotten justice for her.

He just didn't say how.
