Chapter 28
After hearing everything, the sore spot in Mia’s heart slowly began to heal. Her family hadn’t abandoned her on
purpose.
Dominic finally managed to pull himself together, though his eyes were still red. “Mia, it’s all my fault. I didn’t do a proper background check to ensure that the nanny was a good one. I’m the reason why you were separated from the family for so many years.”
Mia’s eyes reddened as well, and Patricia was sobbing harder than her. “Mia, at last, you’ve found your family. This is wonderful.”
Though Mia hadn’t been on the verge of tears, Patricia’s crying made her burst into tears as well.
The six men nodded to themselves. The first step of the plan was a success.
They needed to slowly heal Mia’s heart and undo the hurt she felt.
Dominic secretly sent his assistant a message to settle the hospital bills on Mia’s behalf.
The next morning, Mia was once again woken up by a phone call.
Still half-asleep, she answered the call, “Hello?”
“Mia, where’s my watch? Where did you put it?”
Timothy’s curt voice dispelled all of Mia’s drowsiness.
She sat up in bed and replied, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me.” (
Once she finished speaking, she ended the call.
Maya had moved in with Timothy, right? Why was he not asking Maya to help him look for his watch instead?
Mia figured that bastard Timothy was doing it on purpose.
Meanwhile, Timothy pursed his lips. He couldn’t believe that Mia had hung up on him!
He picked up the watch nearby and marched out of the house. He was so furious that he didn’t even stick around for breakfast.
When Timothy got into the car, he immediately asked Heath, “Did the hospital call her?”
“They did,” Heath replied.
“Are you sure?”
Since Mia knew that the payments for James’ medical fees had been halted, what gave her the audacity to be rude to him?
Whatever money she had wouldn’t be enough to cover the hospital bills.
