Chapter 1717


    "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 hade 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''lle 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." Simrly, 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 andforting 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.


    Some things were better left unknown and to turn a blind eye to them.


    She wanted to keep walking like this. Once she got tired, she hoped her son would appear in front


    of her and say to her happily, "Mrs. Brown, I was just pulling your leg."


    Mia wished that this time would be like all the other times, that Levi was just being mischievous and


    toying with her. However, she knew in her heart that Levi was really missing. Not only that, he went


    missing while he was carrying out a mission that his own father had assigned to him.


    A few days ago, she felt a faint uneasiness in her heart and urgently wanted to see her son.


    However, Neil told her that he was just out on a regr mission.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    How could a regr mission cause him to go missing?


    Did Neil think she was some fool?


    There were many things that Mia didn''t want to think about, nor did she want to argue about with


    Neil. She knew that if certain words were said, more than one person would end up hurt.


    After walking for an unknown period of time, Mia felt as if her body was bing lighter and lighter.


    It was so light that she almost couldn''t feel her own existence. Just when she thought that she was


    about to copse, a deep voice rang in her ears. "Mia, are you trying to get yourself killed?"


    It was Neil!


    It had been a very, very long time since Neil had spoken to her in such a tone. Now that she heard


    it, she felt a bit lost. It was as if time had returned to the days before they were married, when she


    was still pursuing him like crazy.


    Many people thought that it was hard for her to pursue him, but she hadn''t felt that way at all. How


    could she feel tired chasing after the man she loved?


    Even though she chased Neil for so long, she had never found it tiring because she knew that this


    man would belong to her sooner orter.


    When she found out about her true identity, she was afraid and dejected. Because she had lost all


    hope, she felt like the man she was trying to grasp onto was getting further and further away from


    her.


    Looking at Neil in front of her, Mia thought of the past. She touched the stubble and suddenly


    smiled. "Neil, I must have owed you too much in myst life. I''vee to pay off my debts in this


    life."


    Neil held her hand and picked her up by her waist. "Mia, do you remember anything I said to you?"


    Mia didn''t want to hear him say that. She looked at him and shook her head. "Who the h*lI are you,


    Neil? Why do I feel like I know you less and less?"


    "Come back with me now."


    Mia let him carry her. She didn''t struggle, and was even able to smile at him. "You know, when I


    knew that I was only an adopted child of the Kyle family, I didn''t feel sad at all. I didn''t even dislike


    my life."


    Neil gripped her a little tighter and said, "Mia, shut up."


    Mia put one of her arms around his neck and said, "The first time I felt so depressed was when I


    found out about my true identity. That had something to do with you. The second time I''ve felt so


    depressed is again because of you. You sent your son away; you didn''t bring him back safely."


    Mia knew that Neil, the highest leader of the army of Chatterton Town, couldn''t be med for this,


    but he wasn''t just an army colonel. He was also her husband and Levi''s father.


    "If I can''t even ask this question, what else can I do?" she thought.


    She wasughing, but as sheughed, tears began to flow down her face. "Neil, are you an angel


    sent from heaven to save me? Or are you a demon that was sent here to punish me?"
