Only you in my love

Chapter 797 Another Misunderstanding

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.

Michelle just chuckled, but Caroline didn't buy it. That only seemed to confirm her guess even more.

She remarked, "So it really was Valerie who hurt you."

"Not exactly. I—"

"Not exactly?" Tim interrupted her with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

'So she was hurt by this woman called Valerie.'

Caroline glanced at him and explained, "Valerie is a cousin of the Feng Group's CEO. I heard that he

dotes on her so she does whatever she wants."

Realizing that she was reminding him, Tim met her gaze. He mistook her smile as a look that sought

credit.

He thought that she was trying to fish for compliments.

But Caroline was just appreciative of how the man looked and merely wanted to talk with him some

more.

Tim looked away from her without saying anything.

As for the Feng Group, he wasn't worried about them.

The Feng family was considered nouveau riche in Lexingport City. Tim had been in the city longer so

he had deeper ties.

'Didn't Leon say that he liked Michelle? How could he not do something about Bryant and Valerie?

Maybe he hasn't been ruthless because he still has feelings for this woman.

We'll see about that.'

Having made up his mind, Tim calmed down.

The three of them chatted for a while. Caroline had another appointment so she had to leave first. But

before she left, she stopped beside Tim and whispered to him, "Don't forget what you promised me.

Here's my calling card so contact me whenever you're free."

The business card that had been slipped into his hand was cold compared to the warm breath that

fanned his ears.

His eyebrows met in the middle, and his eyes glittered in unspoken anger.

For some reason, Tim felt like he was holding not to a name card but a room key. And he felt like he

was a male prostitute.

He didn't want to sleep with prostitutes.

And never would he want to be treated as a male prostitute.

"What do you mean by that?" he demanded, grabbing Caroline's wrist.

Caroline winced at how tightly he held her arm. She tried to free herself but failed so she glared back at

him. "What are you doing?"

Seated on the bed, Michelle realized that the two of them were about to start quarreling. She was

confused because they were calm earlier but now they looked quite hostile.

"What's up?" she asked them.

"Nothing,"

Tim and Caroline replied in unison.

As soon as they said that, they went back to glaring at each other.

Michelle felt that something was wrong.

Hoping to stop them from arguing, she went over to them and held on to their wrists. She grunted as

she tried to separate them. "Don't fight. Just talk it out like sensible adults."

Tim didn't move, determined to know what Caroline had meant by what she said.

On the other hand, Caroline couldn't figure out why he was suddenly so mad at her. After failing to

break out of his hold several times, she got angry as well. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Let go of me!"

"Explain yourself first."

"No, you should let go first!" Caroline gritted her teeth.

Michelle tried even harder to pull the two of them apart. "Stop, stop! Let's sit down and talk about this."

Caroline and Tim ignored her.

Michelle stumbled on her injured foot, making pain shoot up her leg.

She gasped.

The sound of her pained voice broke through the tension between Tim and Caroline. Tim quickly

released her arm to grab Michelle who had started to collapse.

"Watch out!" Caroline exclaimed.

At that exact moment, Leon entered the room.

And the first thing he saw was his girlfriend leaning against another man's chest.
