Only you in my love

Chapter 795 Strong Attraction

The sky was overcast that cold winter morning.

It had been a week since Tim last saw Michelle around the neighborhood. He had tried messaging her

several times, but she had only replied once to inform him that she was on a business trip.

At first, he believed her. But when Michelle didn't update her WeChat Moments or post photos on

Weibo, he gradually became suspicious.

He had ordered Victor to investigate her and finally got the result this morning.

"Mr. Shen, it seems that Michelle is currently staying at Kanner Hospital. As for why she's there or how

bad her condition is, I do not know yet. The hospital staff have been very tight-lipped so getting more

information is difficult at the moment."

Tim frowned at the possibility that Michelle could be sick.

Decisive as always, he got up from his seat and declared, "Let's go to Kanner Hospital."

"Okay." Victor was quick to obey. "Shall I buy some fruits or flowers for your visit?"

Tim didn't have experience in such things so he asked the other man to handle it. First, Victor drove to

a nearby supermarket first to buy fruits. Next, he went to a flower shop and ordered a bunch of pink

roses surrounded by baby's breath.

When he returned to the car, he handed the bouquet to Tim who was seated in the back seat. He

asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think of the flowers I chose? Every flower has its meaning: baby's

breath for care and roses for love. I thought that these two would convey your feelings best to the

woman you like."

Tim lowered his head slightly to smell the fragrance of the pink roses.

He nodded in approval and praised, "Excellent choice."

Victor felt honored even though the compliment was only two words long. What kind of person was

Tim? He had a reputation for instilling fear in his followers.

Any sort of praise or compliment coming from the man was rare, so when it happened, his

subordinates savored it for as long as they could.

Of course, Victor was not the kind of person who bullied others to be noticed by Tim.

He was so happy that he kept talking throughout the drive to Kanner Hospital.

He tried teaching Tim about courting women, but the latter did not hear a word. He said nothing in reply

nor looked at the other man.

But he felt at ease when someone chatty accompanied him.

As long as Victor didn't say anything unpleasant, Tim wouldn't stop him from talking.

Kanner Hospital had an underground parking lot and another spacious parking area outside the lobby.

At present, there was only one slot left in the outside parking lot.

Victor noticed that a white car was headed toward the remaining available space.

He was also aiming for that spot because it was more convenient to park outside. Tim would be able to

see his sweetheart faster.

In his hurry to beat the white car, he daringly stepped on the accelerator.

"Sit tight, Mr. Shen!"

Victor rushed to park their car in the parking space, cutting off the white vehicle. Caroline, the driver of

the white car, braked sharply to avoid getting hit.

She might have been thrown out of her seat if she hadn't been wearing her seat belt.

She felt a little dizzy from the shock.

When she snapped back to her senses, the parking slot she had been aiming for was already

occupied.

That morning, she had learned that Michelle was in the hospital due to an injury so she came over to

check up on her.

Michelle had always been like a sister to her, so she was very worried about the girl.

When the parking slot she was aiming for got stolen by another driver, she lost her temper and got out

of her car.

She knocked impatiently on the window of the other vehicle.

The window rolled down, but before Caroline could say anything, Victor smiled at her and said, "I'm

really sorry about that. We're in a hurry to visit someone so you'll have to park in the basement."

He was apologizing but he didn't look sorry at all.

That made Caroline even angrier. She replied coolly, "All visitors are in a hurry to see the patients

they're visiting. But it's first come, first served. Since I arrived here before you, please move your car

out of the way."

"I agree. It's first come, first served; and we got the parking space first."

"You're being unreasonable," Caroline scoffed. "You overtook me to steal my parking space."

Victor sneered at her before turning around to say, "You can get out now, Mr. Shen."

"Okay."

Hearing the deep voice of another man coming from the back seat, she peered inside the car to see a

man dressed in a suit.

He had short black hair, a scar across one of his thick eyebrows, an aquiline nose and a pair of deep-

set eyes.

He looked threatening.

Normally, the more people looked at Tim, the more frightened they felt.

The man in the back seat seemed like he had gone through a lot of ups and downs, and she felt

attracted to him and wanted to know more about him.

She was curious about his scar in particular. Looking at it made her want to touch it.

She noticed that he had a bouquet of pink roses and baby's breath next to him. At first glance, it might

seem out of place, but strangely, it suited him.

The bouquet softened his iron exterior.

An idea suddenly came to Caroline's mind.

She wanted this man to be her model. She wanted to know his story and immortalize his looks with her

camera.

She wanted to show a contrast despite appearances.

Ignoring her admiring gaze, Tim told her, "I didn't see your name on the parking space so it can't

possibly be yours. Don't blame others for your poor driving skills."

"Exactly!" Victor agreed wholeheartedly.

Caroline still thought they were being unreasonable, but she no longer felt like arguing with them.

"All right. I'll give the parking space to you but..." She looked Tim in the eye and continued, "You have

to promise me one thing."

"How dare you ask Mr. Shen for such a favor? Don't you know who he is?" Victor demanded with a

fierce look. He looked like a ruffian who was tempted to beat her up if she continued to speak out of

line.

But Caroline was used to dealing with all kinds of people. She wasn't afraid of some hooligan.

"I'm not talking to you," she cheekily replied to Victor.

Tim got out of the car and straightened his suit. Victor handed him the bouquet and followed after him,

carrying the fruit basket.

Tim told Caroline, "If you can move my car, the parking space is yours." He then turned on his heel and

left.

Caroline scowled at his retreating back and made a phone call. "Gray, I'm at Kanner Hospital, and I Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

need a tow truck. I'll send you the license plate number."

Overhearing her conversation, Tim stopped and turned to look back at her. His eyes narrowed

dangerously in anger.

Caroline smiled defiantly at him and returned to her car.

"Damn it!" Victor rolled up his sleeves with the intention of beating her up, but Tim said nothing and

strode away.

Surprised that his boss was leaving without him, Victor reluctantly left Caroline alone to catch up with

him.

"Mr. Shen, why are you letting her go? What if someone really comes to tow our car away? She said it

was first come, first served. We got the parking space first."

Tim didn't reply.

He just realized who Caroline was and why she was at Kanner Hospital. She was most likely here to

see Michelle so he decided not to pick a fight with the woman in case she ratted him out.

Women always liked to gossip.

If her anger could be appeased by towing his car, Tim would allow it.

But he wasn't going to move the car himself because he had a reputation to maintain.
