You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 665 So Delicate

Back then, Nina's disappearance had been so shocking that it had rocked Michelle's world. She had even gone to the Time Group and hit John.

She had never hit anyone in her life and yet she had hit John, the most terrifying man imaginable.

Even though John had tried his best to conceal the news, Michelle had found out and cried for a long time.

Her parents hadn't been around and it had been summer vacation. She had called Debra and Rainy.

The two had been freaked out by Michelle's swollen eyes. They had taken her to the hospital as soon as possible, fearing that all the crying could be causing some damage.

But after a few days, Michelle had become to her usual self.

It should have been a good thing but it had concerned them in reality. She had told them that Nina was still alive.

Her roommates had feared that there was something wrong with her. They had discussed whether they should find her a psychologist. Lydia had concluded that they should just observe her for a few days before making any decision.

After a period of careful observation, they had found out that Michelle was as normal as before, so they had given up on that idea.

Since then, no one in the dormitory dared to mention Nina. Austin also secretly talked to every classmate in the class and told them not to mention her.

It was at that time that Lydia began to suspect that Austin liked Michelle.

Anytime Michelle mentioned Nina, the whole class would act as if she moved to another school or something. They didn't want to remind her of the harsh truth because they feared it'd stimulate the sadness in her again.

Thinking of this, Debra couldn't help sighing. She patted her back like a mother and comforted her, "Don't cry. Everything will be fine."

She kept winking at Austin, begging for his help.

At a loss, Austin handed her a piece of tissue. He didn't know how to comfort Michelle.

He had never seen Michelle cry. Except for her roommates, no one in her class had seen her cry. She donned a warm smile every day that lit up every place she entered. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He always wondered why she was so happy all the time. He couldn't understand it especially because he had dealt with so many bleak aspects of his own life.

After investigating further, he realized that her family was something to envy. Her parents didn't force their opinions on her, nor did they pressure her to do anything.

This was far from his life. He made it clear that he wasn't going to compete for his family inheritance or property. His major had nothing to do with his family's business and he actively took another path.

His siblings still wouldn't let him go that easily though.

So he envied Michelle and began to pay attention to her. One day, he saw her flicking through a new book that gave her a paper cut. Her eyes immediately turned red as tears welled up in them.

He thought, 'This girl is so delicate.'

He didn't see any tears fall from her eyes though. Her eyes turned glassy as the tears welled up. She sniffed and looked up, refusing to let liquid drip from her eyes. She seemed to comfort herself softly while exhaling, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt."

She blew on it to ease the pain but couldn't find anything to stop the bleeding. He was so annoyed that she could be so stupid.

What was even more astonishing was the he heard her say to her own finger, "You small cut, if you continue bleeding, I'm going to bite you!"

She then followed through and actually bit it. It wasn't that pointless to be honest. Human saliva contains healing properties that stop bleeding and heal the skin after all.

He was at least amused by her.

Michelle was really a delicate, lovely and strong girl.

He gradually began to like her more and more and he decided to get close to her, eventually becoming her good friend.

In the past three years, they were only ever friends and nothing more.

Now looking at Michelle's tearful eyes, his heart seemed to crack as the pain spread in his chest.

Austin didn't have time to think too much and said, "Don't cry. I can help you find him."

"Really?" As expected, Michelle stopped crying. She turned away from Debra's arms and wiped her tears from her face. Her nose was red and her eyes were puffy.

"Yes." Austin's lips curled into a faint smile. He barely ever smiled. It was so shallow that nobody could even notice it.

He went far away and called his father, but Michelle and Debra couldn't hear what he had spoken to him about.

Staring at the man on the phone, Debra said to Michelle, "It seems that Austin is so good to you. Do you have any feelings for him?"

"I will thank him." Michelle had been crying so much that her voice sounded quite nasal now.

"How?" Debra wanted to cheer her up so she jokingly suggested, "Thank you for your help, Austin. The only way to repay you is to marry you."

"What?" Michelle was stunned.

Seeing her confused face, Debra waved her hand and said, "Forget it. We can't wait by the road. We have to go back and just wait for the news there."

"Okay." Michelle nodded worriedly.

After Austin hung up the phone, Debra took them back through the back door again.

Right now, Wynn was serving some wealthy people in Silverhall Nightclub. A rich woman chose him to be her companion for the night. It wasn't for anything sexual, but rather to just play a few rounds with her at the casino.

When Michelle called, the rich woman was immersed in the joy of her recent win so she didn't pay attention to Wynn.

After hanging up her call, he also called Leon. Strangely though, he didn't answer.

Wynn panicked. If anything happened to Leon, it would cause havoc on C Island. Wynn frantically called Bryant and after an agonizingly long wait, he finally answered. Wynn was so annoyed that he

wanted to curse.

He cut straight to the point. "I can't get in touch with Leon. Has he contacted you?"

"Don't worry. He's fine. He left his phone in the hotel." Hearing Bryant's answer, Wynn breathed a sigh of relief.

He adopted a much calmer tone and asked, "Where is he now? Are you with him?"

"We are on our way to K City, Someone saw Jon at an auction there so we are going to see him."

"Jon?" Wynn snorted. "You could have gone tomorrow. Why do you have to go right now? I could have gone. Why is he insisting on going by himself?"

"Maybe he doesn't want to bother you."

Wynn was struggling to believe anything Bryant said. He knew that Leon just couldn't wait to see Valerie. His blood started to boil just thinking about it and he angrily barked, "Tell him that Michelle is looking for him everywhere."
