Michele had always thought that she loved Lucas a lot, and whatever Yasmeen could do for Lucas, so
could she.
However, those were only on the surface.
Michele didn't do anything when the danger came, and the choice between life and death was in front.
Instead, Yasmeen risked her own life to save her beloved man.
Suddenly, Michele felt so embarrassed by saying that she liked Lucas to his face.
Compared to Yasmeen, who could risk her own life to love Lucas, Michele didn’t think she had any
chance to confess her love to Lucas at all.
“Lucas, didn’t you come over to visit me as visiting a patient? Why do I feel you come here to
embarrass me?”
Michele became quite depressed.
Looking at her, Lucas smiled and said, “You felt embarrassed because there’s space in your heart to
hold your sadness. In fact, you like me not because of the love from a woman to a man. Your love to
me probably is just love between a brother and a sister or between childhood plates. Probably you do
fall in love with me, but you don’t love me as deeply as Yasmeen loves me. Michele, in my heart, you
are always a younger sister. Without Yasmeen, I wouldn’t accept you either.”
“Can’t you stop it, Lucas?”
Michele was more depressed.
As if he couldn’t see how upset Michele was, Lucas said in a low voice, “Edison is a good boy. He
always remembers everything about you and helps you in secret. You should stop focusing on me. I
have already found my true love. I know you are a proud girl. You won’t steal another woman’s
husband, so you can let go of your feelings for me. Look at Edison. You’ll find love is always around
you.”
“Husband? You haven’t got married, have you?” Michele retorted.
When she heard that Yasmeen risked her life to love Lucas, she had already given up. Although
Michele had to admit to being defeated, she felt pretty uncomfortable when hearing Lucas say so.
Lucas smiled and said, “I’m already writing the application. I’d love to invite you and Edison to attend
our wedding. After this incident, you can’t go on training abroad. Why don’t you attend our wedding
first?”
“Lucas, you wicked man!”
Michele had never disliked Lucas so much before. Probably in the past, she just treated him as the
princess charming, but now she truly wanted to hit him.
Seeing that, Lucas could tell that Michele had let go of him.
It might be because of obsession instead of the real feeling that Michele misunderstood. Probably it
was a habit that they grew up together or her subconsciousness that misled her. When the
meritoriousness had gone, Michele felt relieved.
However, she knew that she had truly loved Lucas.
“Haven’t you bought me some fruits? Why don’t you give them to me?”
Michele pouted. Her naughty face made Lucas more relaxed.
“You didn’t treat me like this before, Girl.”
“As you said, it was before. Now, I’ve put down everything. Since you are like my older brother, I must
have the right of a younger sister. I won’t make it too easy for you.”
Lucas smiled when hearing her words.
“Ehn. I’ll wash an apple for you.”
“Okay. You also need to peel it.”
“Ehn.”
Lucas didn’t make any remarks.
He quietly washed an apple for Michele. Then he sat down, peeling the apple for her.
Michele looked at Lucas under the sunshine. Suddenly, she felt pretty good in this way.
Probably Lucas couldn’t become her husband, but he could be her elder brother all her life.
Love could make one ferocious. Michele felt lucky that she could stop in time. Probably, for the time
being, she still couldn’t stop loving Lucas. However, if he could be an elder brother for her, it wouldn’t
be bad at all.
Michele’s thoughts changed instantly.
Looking at the apple handed over by Lucas, she smiled and asked, “Lucas, do you think Edison truly
loves me?”
Lucas was slightly taken aback.
Suddenly Michele asked him about Edison, and her attitude changed a lot, reminding him of Zoe.
However, Lucas understood that Michele had decided to give up.
He was delighted to maintain the friendship with a childhood playmate and get rid of the awkwardness.
He chuckled and said, “Are you blind? Edison has done so many things for you.”
Michele felt angry because of his mockery.
“I was blind by you. How could I see what he has done?”
“You are not physically but mentally blind.”
Michele felt angrier when hearing his remark.
She even couldn’t enjoy the apple in her hand.
“Excuse me. I’m a patient now!”
“Oh, I almost forgot. Since childhood, what have I told you? How could you be hypnotized by someone
so easily? Michele, are you brainless? Where is your vigilance?”
Thinking that the other party almost enabled Michele to commit suicide successfully, Lucas became
irritated.
Michele also kept silent.
She had always thought that she was pretty skillful. In the military region, seldom people could win
against her. She was quite proud of it. However, this incident was like a slap in her face. She felt too
embarrassed to face her coworkers.
“I was quite spiritless and sleepless a few weeks ago, so...”
“I don’t accept any excuse, Michele. Now I’ve resigned, so I can’t protect you all the time. In the future,
I’ll become a husband, a father. The burden on me will become more and heavier. I won’t be able to
take care of you any longer. If you can’t be strong enough, what will you do? Like what happened
today. If it weren’t that Yasmeen and I came over and she stopped you, did you want me to attend your
funeral? Have you thought about your parents?”
Lucas knew his words were too harsh for Michele, but he didn’t have plenty of time.
Although his report hadn’t been approved yet, his report line officer had signed on the application. He
was half-resigned.
No matter Morty’s house or the base region, Lucas couldn’t enter as easily as before. Besides, he
would focus on his own family and career. Everything here would be sealed in the bottom of his heart,
and he would ultimately leave here.
His youth had long passed. He and Michele would belong to different worlds. Even he wanted to
protect her, he could do.
Although Michele had given up her persistence on Lucas, she hadn’t thought for such a long run yet.
Upon hearing his words, she panicked.
“What are you talking about, Lucas? Even if you are resigned, you are still my elder brother. You still
can come to see me in my house.”
However, right after she spoke, Michele found that she was wrong.
Lucas looked relatively peaceful, but his calm eyes told her ruthlessly that everything had been
changed.
Suddenly, Michele choked with sobs. She even hated Lucas for being so heartless and frank. However,
she didn’t know how to keep him staying.
Could she do it?
