However, the cruel reality was right in front of Mia Kyle. Her kind grandfather had sent someone to kidnap little Karen, and his subordinate shot her brother...
Mia could pretend to ignore the things he had done in the past, that those events were not real, but merely mistakes from someone else.
However, she had witnessed with her very own eyes that little Karen being kidnapped and Kevin Kyle being shot. She watched as Assistant Hart shot her brother and the blood had gushed out and dyed his white shirt red.
If she could turn a blind eye on these as if nothing had happened and still regarded this old man as the kind and amiable grandfather, then what was the difference between her and a monster?
"Mia, I'm your grandpa..."
"I don't have a grandfather like you, and I don't want a grandfather like you."
Every ruthless word Mia said cut her heart. She screamed to hide those sorrow.
It still hurt a lot even after she had promised herself that she would cut all ties and connections with him.
She had never known how heartache felt like before this. It hurt so badly that she felt numb and hopeless.
Mia's desolate attitude made Warren realized that they could never go back to how they used to be.
Warren sighed deeply and said, "Mia, it doesn't matter if you refused to admit that I'm your grandfather, but never forget that the Brown family had murdered your parents. You must never be with Neil Brown, ever."
Did he really think she was the one who had the final say on whether she could be together with Neil?
From the very beginning, it was all up to Neil's decision.
In the past, Mia did not understand why Neil had avoided her, but now she finally understood.
In fact, she didn't blame Neil. She didn't blame him at all. The events in the past had nothing to do with him. What's more, it was a matter of national interest. As a well-known military family, the Brown family had done nothing wrong.
Mia understood this, but when she thought about the execution of her parents who brought her to this world, the father and mother who lingered in her dreams throughout her childhood, she still couldn't help but to blame someone.
Of all people, why did it have to be you?
Why? Why did it have to be my parents?
Her parents didn't abandon her. They left her because they had no choice...
Thinking of this, Mia took a deep breath and raised her head to force back her tears. She said, "Don't worry. The things you're worried about will not happen."
Leaving these words behind, Mia turned around and walked away quickly without even looking at Neil.
Ah...
As the relative of a criminal who had hurt the people who raised her up... She was too ashamed to go back to the Kyle family.
She didn't know where she should go.
She could only continue walking, to wherever life might bring her to.
When he came back to his senses, Neil's eyes darkened. He ran after her immediately, pulled Mia into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Mia did not struggle. Her tears silently streamed down her face and soaked Neil's clothes.
Both Neil and Mia did not speak. Neither of them broke the silence.
