Chapter 27
+15 BONUS
Mia rushed to the hospital and took out her three years’ worth of savings to pay for the hospital bills.
It was a private hospital, but even though it was expensive, it provided the best care for James, giving him a higher chance of recovery.
That being said, the medical fees were 100,000 dollars a month!
Mia massaged her forehead. She had forgotten that the Barretts had been paying for James’ medical expenses. Now that they were getting a divorce, Timothy no longer had any reason to continue footing the bill.
She took out the competition invitation. If she won first place, she would be getting a million in prize money.
Then, she sent a message to her friend, Gina Palmer. “Gigi, you mentioned the Fleur International Design Competition’s setup a while back. Can you send me a copy of the information? I plan on taking part this year.”
Gina’s reply came soon after. “Of course. You’re finally making a comeback, huh? If you join the competition, I’m sure you’ll come out on top. Everyone idolized the alternate identity you were using back then.”
Mia rubbed her fingers against the invitation she was holding.
It was time for her to start a new life.
When Mia went back, she found a group of people with Dominic. There was a woman and five other handsome young men. Were they her brothers and cousins?
Dominic spoke up, “Mia, allow me to introduce them to you. This is Eva, my wife and your sister-in-law. These two are Nathan and Connor, your older brothers. The other three are your older cousins.”
Mia had mixed emotions. She simply nodded lightly in response as she didn’t know what to say to them. For some reason, she felt awkward around them.
Just then, Patricia said, “Mia, the hospital called me just now. They said we need to make payment.”
“I’ve already paid the hospital bills, Aunt Patricia. Don’t worry about it,” Mia assured.
Nathan chimed in, “How much more do you need for the hospital bills, Mia? We can help.
Mia found six pairs of eyes on her. They were all filled with some kind of longing.
The six men were desperately hoping that Mia would ask them for money.
They had more than enough to spare!
Mia shook her head. “That won’t be necessary. I have enough money for now.”
