Only you in my love

Chapter 748 Get Sick

Heavy rain started to fall in Lexingport City during the middle of the night as the leaves rustled against

the strong winds.

It was late autumn, and the temperature had dropped significantly. When Michelle got up and lifted her

quilt, she felt the sudden urge to sneeze. Her nose was clogged, and she had difficulty breathing.

She forgot to close the window last night, leaving a puddle on the floor beside the window. The

champagne roses in the vase weren't left unscathed by the wind. The petals of the roses got wet, while

a few broke off and fell to the table.

Upon seeing it, Michelle felt sorry for the flowers. She immediately closed the window and moved the

flowers to a dry area. Then, she went to the bathroom and got a mop to clean up the puddle.

Elaine had prepared breakfast beforehand and knocked on the guest room's door. In less than a

second, the door opened and she was greeted by an energetic Leon. Behind him, it seemed that he

had already tidied up his room. "Good morning, Mrs. He."

"Good morning. Let's go downstairs and eat breakfast."

Elaine turned around and knocked on her daughter's room again. Leon stopped and glanced at the

wooden board hanging on the door, with the words "Michelle's room" scribbled on it. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She knocked a few more times, but no one was answering. With no other choice, Elaine twisted the

doorknob, pushed the door open, and came in. Since she didn't fully open the door, Leon wasn't able to

see Michelle.

'She must still be sleeping, ' he thought as a gentle smile formed on his face.

Although he didn't see her, he did see a vase on the floor. The champagne roses that it contained

looked as though they had already withered.

Leon narrowed his eyes.

He heard the voices of Elaine and Michelle coming from the room, but he didn't pay much attention to it

and proceeded downstairs.

After a while, they both went downstairs. Michelle came out first, with her head looking down. Elaine

was right behind her and was saying, "Michelle, did you hear what I just said? You must close the

window before going to bed, or else you will catch a cold!"

"Okay, Mom. I got it." Michelle nodded her head.

Meanwhile, Adams was reading the newspaper. When he heard the both of them talking, he looked up

at his daughter and said, "We have cold medication here at home. Make a cup to drink in case you

catch a cold."

"Yes, I'll get it." Elaine turned around to get the medicine.

Although Michelle had taken the medicine, she still felt sick and sleepy while she was at work. Caroline

noticed her groggy state and slightly shook her to wake her up. Accidentally, she touched Michelle's

forehead, and it felt hot against her hand.

When Caroline realized that she had a high fever, she immediately sent her to the hospital. It was a

stroke of luck that she approached her as early as she did.

When they got to the hospital, Caroline continued watching over her. While she was still unconscious,

Michelle grabbed her hand and called her "Leon."

While other people were weak whenever they were sick, the opposite seemed to apply to Michelle as

she tightly clutched Caroline's hand. She tried to withdraw her arm, but her grip was too strong.

Caroline was now stuck and had no other choice but to sit beside her bed and accompany her.

Caroline thought about the name that Michelle called her. She wondered who the man was. She didn't

have the password to Michelle's phone, so she had no way of contacting him.

She got the numbers of Michelle's parents from the personnel department, but when she called them,

they didn't answer. She didn't know that no communication device was allowed in her parents'

workplace.

Worried about leaving Michelle by herself in the hospital, Caroline decided to stay and take care of her.

The entire ward was eerily silent. There were only two beds, and the other one was empty. After a long

while, Michelle finally let go of Caroline's hand. When she stood up to move, a blaring sound broke the

silence.

She noticed that Michelle's phone was ringing. She picked it up and saw the words "My Brother"

flashing on the screen.

When she saw the caller ID, she thought it was weird. People didn't usually place the word "my" when

naming their contacts, as though that person was an object that belonged to them.

"Hello. Are you Michelle's brother? She's here in the hospital and has a high fever."

"Okay, I'm on my way. Please take of her until I arrive." She could feel the man's anxiety on the other

end of the line.

A few minutes after she hung up, Caroline heard panicked footsteps outside the ward. Based on the

sound, she guessed there was more than one person. The door burst open and quickly, two nurses

came in.

"Has he arrived already?" Caroline turned to see who was talking and recognized one of them as the

head nurse. Confused why they were here, she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing serious. We'll just be transferring the patient to another ward." The head nurse smiled at her

and proceeded to push Michelle's bed.

When she had already been transferred to the VIP ward, Caroline still had some doubts in her mind.

She wanted to ask the head nurse what was going on, but she had already left before she could even

say anything.

But as soon as she saw Leon, everything made sense to her.

Within the fashion industry, Caroline was famous. She might not be a celebrity on-screen, but she was

the master behind the camera. Oftentimes, she would be invited to multiple dinner parties, and at every

party she had attended recently, she would always see the man who was now in front of her.

She remembered him as being the perfect gentleman, wearing an expensive tailor-suit partnered with a

smile that could melt anyone's heart. Whenever she saw him, she noticed that he had always kept his

distance from other women. Her overall impression of him was that he was modest and polite.

However, in every instance that she saw him, he always left in a hurry as though he only went there for

formality's sake.

What stood out the most for her was his handsome face. It was far superior to the faces of the popular

stars she knew within the entertainment circle.

Many women admired him; some even expressed their admiration to him in public. Whenever he faced

this kind of public confession, he would smile politely and thank them for their affection, but would tell

them that he liked someone else. Later on, he was seen having a female companion at the party.

She was Valerie, the cousin of Feng Group's CEO, which had been on the rise in Lexingport City in

recent years.

Rumors started to circulate that he was Valerie's boyfriend. It turned out to be true, as they appeared

together in public more frequently.

However, no one knew who he was, and his identity remained a mystery.

Caroline had heard different rumors about him. Some said Valerie was smitten by his handsome looks.

However, May, one of her close friends, secretly told her that he had a close relationship with the Shi

family and was one of the board of directors in the Feng Group.

Since May was an artist managed by J Entertainment Company, the boss of which was James, she

had good reason to believe her. Plus, May was on good terms with Adrian, the current CEO of the

Song Group.

'Okay, so Leon comes from a rich family. Is he Michelle's brother? But I remember her parents have

only one child, ' Caroline thought.

She stared at his face and became lost in her own thoughts. She couldn't help but feel that she had

seen this face before. In fact, she might've taken photos of this particular face.

When the pieces in her brain started to connect, Leon interrupted her thoughts.

"Thank you for taking Michelle to the hospital."

"Oh, you're welcome. She is a member of my studio. It's my responsibility." Caroline's senses came

back to her as she looked at the man standing by the bed.

Leon smiled at her and thanked her again.

Since someone was already there to take care of Michelle, Caroline told him everything that the doctor

had said and left.

On her way out, she tried her best not to make any sound. Once the door was closed, Michelle and

Leon were finally alone in the ward.

Michelle was still unconscious, with an IV drip hooked to her wrist. The ward was filled with the

disinfectant's strong odor as the rain continued to batter strongly outside.

Leon came here as fast as he could. As soon as he got out of the car, he ran to the inpatient building

without bringing an umbrella. This was why his clothes were drenched, and water droplets were

forming at the tip of his hair.

He wanted to touch Michelle's forehead but withdrew his hand when his finger was about to touch her.

His hand was cold since it got wet in the rain.

He pulled a chair beside the bed and sat on it. As soon as he sat down, he saw the screen of her

phone light up, followed by a message notification popping at the top. He grabbed and read the

message closely.

It said, "Tim has sent you a friend request."
