Only you in my love

From where he stood, Leon caught a glimpse of the bouquet made of pink roses and baby's breath. It wasn't the one he bought Michelle.

It might be from Caroline, he thought.

Of course, it also could have been sent by Tim.

"Michelle, these flowers are beautiful. Who sent them?" he asked, trying his best to sound casual.

Looking sideways, Michelle answered quietly, "Tim."

Her words confirmed his hunch. Scrunching his forehead, he felt a bit annoyed.

After a couple of seconds, he let out a quiet sigh and regained his composure.

"Aren't you tired of the hospital? Don't you want to leave already? We can get you out of here tomorrow."

"Really?" Michelle looked at him excitedly.

The wounds on her feet had almost healed. She just needed to be careful when walking around. Meanwhile, there was no cause for concern with the wound at the back of her head. She just needed to go back to the hospital to have the dressing changed regularly and then have the stitches removed once the wound was healed.

She had already wanted to leave the hospital for some time now.

No matter how cozy the VIP room was, it was still a ward. It wasn't home.

She didn't really like it there despite all the comforts.

Many people don't like staying in the hospital because it makes them more aware of their sickness or injuries. Nothing beats the familiar feeling of home.

Full of excitement, she stood up and said to him, "Hey, you promised, okay? We're going to leave the hospital tomorrow."

"Yes, yes. Lie down and rest." Putting his hands on both of her shoulders, Leon gently tucked her in the bed. "The doctor told me that you should keep an eye on your condition. You shouldn't move around too much, or else you might injure yourself again. It's not fun." "Got it," Michelle answered. With a grin, she clapped her hands together excitedly.

But she became worried once again. "But what about the wound on the back of my head? Can I hide it by wearing a cap or something? If I can't cover it, my parents will find out."

"Don't worry about it. You don't have to go home immediately." Leon thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to stay at my place for a few days while you heal?"

"We're going to live together?" Michelle asked, a bit surprised at his proposition.

It was too fast for her. She wasn't ready yet for that kind of setup.

But when would she be ready?

What else was she waiting for?

Since she hadn't lived together with a boyfriend, she had no idea.

All kinds of questions flashed through her mind, making it difficult for her to decide.

Looking at her, Leon couldn't read what was going through her mind. All he knew was that his idea scared her a bit.

Smiling, he let out a sigh as if to signal his helplessness.

She still really was an innocent girl who didn't know much about these things.

"Don't worry about it," Leon assured her. "You can stay in the North Yard for a couple of days while you heal. When you feel a little bit better, I'll bring you home. Anyway, it's a relief that you're going to be discharged from the hospital. That also means that you can get back to work. I also have some things to take care of."

In high spirits, Michelle answered, "Yes, that's great. I want to make a lot of money, so it's good that I'll be back to work as soon as possible."

Leon smiled gently at her. "You don't have to worry about that. I have a lot of money. You can use as much of it as you like."

Hearing this, Michelle looked at him with a serious face and said, "Leon, I know you're a rich man. But that money isn't mine. I want to have something of my own."

"But what I have is also yours, Michelle." Running his fingers through her hair, he looked at her affectionately. "How about this? I'll just give you all my money, and you take care of me for the rest of my life."

"Do you mean that I'll use your money to support you?" she asked suspiciously.

"Do you want to use it to support someone else?" he asked, teasing her. He then deliberately put on a long face.

"No!" Michelle answered quickly. "Why would I use your money on someone else?"

"That's good. I'm the only person you should take care of. Or else, I'll break your legs." Leon smiled.

Subconsciously, Michelle covered her legs and shook her head firmly. "I won't. You're the only one I care about."

"That's good to hear."

In the afternoon of the following day, Leon finished all the formalities for Michelle's discharge from the hospital. When he came back to the ward, she had already packed up all her things. However, he noticed that she kept staring at the flowers in the vase beside her. "What's wrong?" Leon asked, walking up to her.

Pointing at the flowers in front of her, Michelle asked, "What about these flowers? What do I do with them?"

"Leave them. The next patient might appreciate them."

Deep inside, Leon didn't care if there was another patient soon. However, he was sure that the cleaning staff would clean the room and remove everything once they were gone.

Any patient staying in the VIP room would have enough money to buy their own flowers anyway.

He went on, "Just think of it as a kind gesture for the next patient who stays in this room."

After hesitating for a moment, Michelle nodded. "Oh, alright. Are you sure?"

"Yup, I'm sure." Holding her hand, Leon smiled. "Well, we're good to go. Nini and the others are in the North Yard, waiting for you. We'll hold a little celebration for your discharge and recovery."

"The others? Who are they?"

Michelle asked.

"James and Emma," he replied.

"Oh, that's great! I miss them so much," she said happily. Even after her stay, Michelle hadn't got used to the loneliness and the silence of the hospital. She was glad that she would be able to see the people close to her later that day. Leon pinched her soft fingers gently.

"I know you like fun gatherings, so I asked them to come over."

"Great." Michelle took his hand and held it tightly. "Leon, Emma and the others don't have any idea of our relationship, do they?"

"Emma and James don't know," Leon answered seriously.

But John and Nina already knew about their relationship.

Michelle didn't suspect anything and thought no one knew. She felt relieved.

"Good. Can we keep it that way for the time being? I haven't figured out yet how to tell them about us."

Her problem wasn't them knowing. She hesitated because she didn't know how to go about it.

She had never mentioned the three-month period to him anymore.

Leon was overjoyed and nodded. "Of course we can. Do you plan to keep it a secret your whole life?"

"Why would you say that?" Michelle answered defensively.

"That's good to hear. So, can we hold hands until we arrive the North Yard?" Leon said gently.

After hearing what he said, Michelle smiled, "Well, we can't hold hands in front of them, but we can do it in secret."

"Oh, I see." Leon couldn't help laughing at the playful expression on her face.

It didn't take them too long to arrive at their destination.

The North Yard was a magnificent castle, well-maintained with a full complement of servants and staff. When they saw Leon, they would respectfully call him "Mr. Lu." Likewise, they would address Michelle with "Miss He." From a distance, Helen rushed over to receive them. She was no longer a cook in the North Yard. She was now the butler.

But as long as she had the time to spare, she would still sometimes help out in the kitchen and cook.

"Mr. Lu, Miss He, please let me take your luggage. I'll have someone bring it to the guest room for you. Everything has been arranged to suit your needs."

With a friendly smile, Michelle said, "Helen, I'd like you to call me Mimi. It's nicer that way without being too polite. I can handle bringing the luggage myself. I don't want to bother you."

"It's not a problem at all. Serving is both my duty and my pleasure."

Helen then took the suitcase and handed it over to another servant nearby.

She took Michelle's hand and patted it gently. "You have to get used to it now. There will be more people to serve you in the future," she said with a smile. After all, Leon was a prince, and Michelle would be a princess. Of course, there would be many people to serve her in the future.

Afterward, she looked at Leon and felt glad to see them together.

With her decades of experience, she was already an expert in reading people. She was certain that by this time, the two were already in a relationship.

It has only been a month since John and Nina got married. And now, Leon had a woman of her own.

It was fantastic news.

Nina would have a sister-in-law soon enough.

However, Michelle didn't fully understand what she meant. She thought Helen was referring to the servants in the North Yard.

While she was flattered by Helen's words, she did feel a little awkward.

She wasn't used to this kind of life, after all.0000000
