The familiar voice was like a tranquilizer comforting Michelle. She slowly turned around, and she saw a familiar face. It was as if she had found a life-saving straw when she was helpless. She threw herself into the arms of Leon and called "Leon" with tears in her eyes.
Leon stayed squatting, held the petite girl in his arms, touched her head and said softly, "I'm here. It's okay."
"Leon, hug me." Michelle kept rubbing into his arms and tried to be more close to him. She longed for the familiar breath to wrap her up, so as to dispel the shadow that Tim forced her.
Hug could always transmit a gentle power. Sometimes a hug was better than any words.
"I'll hold you for the rest of my life." Leon held her in his arms until her breath gradually stabilized. She looked up and her hair was a little messy.
He gently combed Michelle's hair with his fingers, revealing her fair face, and then kissed her gently on the hair on her forehead.
"Are you hungry? I'll take you downstairs for some food. " Leon stood up and held her in his arms.
Michelle obediently leaned in his arms, rolled her beautiful eyes, put her head close to his chest. She was carried downstairs with ease.
Seeing the two go downstairs, Barbie stood up and greeted, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu."
Leon looked up at her and said, "Barbie, please go to the kitchen to see if the dishes are ready."
"Okay." Barbie then went to the kitchen.
Looking at the back of Barbie, Michelle asked after a while, "Is Miss Barbie your secretary? Where is my master? "
"Wynn is on holiday recently." Leon held her in his arms and sat at the table. Michelle wanted to sit on a chair by herself, but he didn't allow. "Do you mind? If you mind, I will find a way to change a male secretary as soon as possible. "
He said "find a way to change a male secretary as soon as possible" instead of changing Barbie immediately, which meant that Barbie was not completely under his control.
Michelle was keenly aware of this. Moreover, she didn't care whether Leon's secretary was a man or a woman.
She totally trusted Leon.
"I don't mind." Michelle shook her head and rubbed her head against his chest. There was no smile on her face and her eyes were hollow and glassy.
Leon found that she was becoming more and more clingy, but she didn't like to smile as much as before. She was depressed. Leon didn't know what she had experienced on the island.
She was so vulnerable for the time being, so Leon didn't dare to ask, but held her more tightly.
Beside Michelle's ears was Leon's steady heartbeat, which was so lively. She opened her mouth in a hoarse voice and called him "Leon". Her voice was so low that only she could hear it.
The dishes were served soon. There were all light food and nutritious soup.
Leon fed Michelle in person. She was so petite that she was like a child in his arms. He took good care of her.
In his eyes, Michelle was just a child, a child he would love all his life.
Michelle didn't feel awkward and continued to eat.
"Michelle, are you going to tell this to your parents?" Leon asked.
Michelle shook her head. She couldn't tell her parents, or they would be very worried.
She didn't say anything, but Leon could understand.
"Okay. You can stay here for two days and go back when you feel better." Leon kept feeding her while talking, "I have something to tell you. Someone pretended to be you to contact you with your parents, so you didn't lose contact with your family. The person who pretended to be you said that you were on a trip. If you don't want your parents and grandparents to worry about you, don't spill it."
'Someone pretended to be me?'
Michelle was stunned for a while. After she figured it out in her mind, she said, "Okay, I just went on a trip."
