"Mm, thank you."
"Don't be too sad." Aiden thought for a mont and could only offer a pale
consolation.
"Mm."
Mia hung up the phone.
She still felt sad, suffocated, with a fire burning inside her chest.
Yet she couldn't cry.
After ending the call, she went back inside, where several people were handling things for Zoey's mother.
Returned to Eastern Peak Village.
In the morning, many reporters ca, and the issue with Zoey beca widely
known.
Mia stayed at their ho for the entire day, without eating or drinking, not daring to look at Zoey for the last ti.
She didn't even know what she was afraid of.
Afraid no matter what.
It was as if by not seeing her, Zoey wasn't dead, wouldn't leave.
As night fell, Louis couldn't bear to watch any longer, feeling frustrated. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out, putting her on a motorcycle and taking her away.
He wandered aimlessly for a while, stopping by a sparsely populated street.
Mia felt quite uncomfortable after gulping down a gust of cold wind, supporting herself on the tall trunk of a sycamore tree, gasping for air to calm down.
"Don't hold it in." Louis parked the motorcycle, gripping her arm and tugging her forcefully, pulling her into his embrace. He looked down at her and said, "You have . Whether you feel hurt or painful, you have , girl, I'm always here."
"Louis." Mia looked up at him with a bitter smile.
She felt genuinely uncomfortable after not eating or drinking all day, wanting an embrace, but not this one.
There were many things she wanted to say to Koa Jackson.
The eting ten years ago, all her persistence and efforts since, the burdened sorrow on her heart, and the humble yearning.
"I'm here."
Just gazing at her, Louis's heart tinged with pain. He had always been reckless, yet now faced with her, he felt cautious but couldn't suppress the deep compassion inside,
Koa Jackson gripped the steering wheel tight.
In the rearview mirror, the young couple grew farther and farther away, more and more blurred.
Making him feel like what he just saw might have been an illusion.
He inadvertently glanced through the car window and saw Mia, and, the one from the Cox Family?
Were they embracing?
Surprise, shock, anger, he suddenly stopped on the main road, triggering the piercing honks from the cars behind him, and startling the two who were being intimate.
What ti is it now?
Past nine in the evening.
Mia's not at school, out having a date with him?
What kind of relationship do they have?
For the first ti, Koa started to ponder this question.
The more he thought, the more displeased he beca.
First, they hugged beneath the hospital, second, they hugged at Mia's birthday party, and now the third ti, hugging by the busy street?
A dating relationship?
But Mia said it wasn't, especially after all the drama with the Jackson Family, he believed the girl's innocence.
Louis liked her, but she wasn't interested.
What exactly did that scene just now an?
The two acting intimately as if no one else was there, what did that an!
Koa thought ssily, his usually calm and deep black eyes brewing storms, after a while, he couldn't suppress the irritation and anger inside, and at the second intersection, he turned the car around, circling it back.
