"Aunt Mia..."
Countless emotions surged into Monique's heart. She had so many things she wanted to say, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." In fact, Monique didn't need to say too much, Mia could see what she was trying to say from her eyes.
She raised her hand and stroked Monique's head. She smiled and said, "Even if the result isn't what we wanted, life still goes on. You have to understand that the sun will still rise every day, it won't change for anyone."
"Aunt Mia..." Monique grabbed Mia's hand. She was feeling really emotional and she wanted to speak. But under Mia's gaze, she swallowed all her words back down again.
She thought that Mia had come to give her hope. However, she realized that even Mia was expecting the worst for Levi.
Mia patted Monique's hand and said, "I still have some business to attend to today, so I'll leave first. Rest well. I'll come see you again another day."
Even after Mia left, Monique was still struggling to speak. She watched Mia leave as if she were in a trance. She noticed that Mia trembled slightly when she exited the ward.
However, when she looked closely, she couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary with Mia.
Brenda, who was beside her, turned her head back and looked at Monique. She raised her hand to caress Monique's head and sighed. "I heard that Colonel Brown's wife was an unreliable woman. She would do whatever she wanted and always caused him trouble. But now, it seems that's not the case at all."
"Some people may seem thoughtless on the outside, but on the inside, they have very earnest hearts." Similarly, after seeing Mia for the first time, Monique's first impression of her was an irresponsible mother. However, after this day, she no longer thought so.
"I suppose that's the kind of person Mrs. Brown is," Brenda said.
"Some people like to act recklessly but they pull through when it matters the most." In Monique's heart, Levi was exactly like that. At this instant, she felt that Mia was as amazing as Levi.
Levi's excellence obviously came from his
parents.
"Monique..." Brenda hugged Monique lovingly and did not say anything else to persuade her. She knew that Monique had already received a lot of advice over the past few days, she didn't need any more of that. But what she needed was a warm and comforting embrace. As a mother, that was all she could do for Monique.
Even though it was autumn, the weather in Chatterton Town was still very warm. The scorching sun shone on the earth, almost roasting the pedestrians on the street.
It was clearly very hot, but Mia, who was walking on the street, didn't feel any warmth. Her entire body was cold, from the inside out and from the top of her head to her toes.
She had experienced such despair once before in her life. She was so desperate that she thought the sun would never rise again. She was so hopeless that she felt like every minute and every second of her life was torture.
However, that was a very, very long time ago. It was so long that Mia had almost forgotten what it felt like to be so depressed that she could barely breathe...
How long ago was it?
She couldn't recall, and she didn't want to either.
