Chapter 1718


    "Mia..."


    Neil called Mia as he always did. It was so familiar and for some reason it took every ounce of his


    energy to utter that word.


    "Gee..." Miaughed lightly. "Colonel Brown, are you calling me by my name to give me an order?


    Whatever order it is, please answer my question first."


    "Levi is also my son, my only son. He was in your belly for ten months and you gave birth to him for


    me." Neil almost roared out these words. Mia''s question made him want to strangle her to death.


    Did she not know by now what kind of person he was?


    However, when his anger met with Mia''s sad gaze, it couldn''t help but disappear. The only thing left


    in his heart was tenderness towards her. He slowly softened his tone and said, "Give me a bit of


    time, I will give you a satisfactory answer."


    "Neil!" Mia looked at him and called out his name in a gentle voice as if she was calling out to a


    lover. But at the same time, her tone was tainted with anger and hatred as if she was speaking to an


    enemy. "Do you think I want an answer from you? I want my f*cking son!"


    He was the one who knew her best. Why couldn''t he understand where she wasing from right


    now?


    For so many years, what she wanted had always been very simple.


    She wanted to be with him and their son. She wanted their family to live a simple and happy life.


    That was all.


    How could he not know?


    "I know! I know everything!" Neil held the frantically struggling Mia tightly in his arms. He gently


    patted her back with one hand and whispered in her ear, "Mia, give me a little more time. I will bring


    our son back in perfect health to you."


    "What did you just say?" Mia''s pupils dted. She didn''t dare to believe what Neil had just said. She


    was afraid that she was hallucinating.


    The only thing worse than being depressed was being given hope right before the fatal blow.


    "Mia, you didn''t mishear me, I meant what I said, but there are some things that you can''t know. You


    have to y your part and continue acting." Neil wasn''t allowed to reveal any

    military secrets. But in front of Mia, his usually steeled heart softened.


    In his life, he had spent almost all his energy on the Chatterton Town military. He was the one who


    made their military region the best among all the others. Except for his work, the only thing that


    could make him worry was his wife and his son.


    Mia had identally appeared in his life and had inadvertently be the most important person


    in his life. His greatest joy was to make Mia happy every day.


    Before marrying Mia, he had secretly sworn an oath that no matter how much time had passed, he


    would make her smile happily forever like a child. He didn''t want her to ever feel like she had to hide


    her emotions.


    He had always thought that he had done a very good job. He could see Mia''s brilliant smile almost


    every day, but this time, it was because of him that Mia was on the verge of copsing.


    He hadn''t thought things through, which was why she was in such pain.


    Mia opened her mouth and wanted to say something. "Neil..."


    "Mia, don''t ask anything else. When the timees, I''ll tell you everything you want to know. Right


    now, all you need to do is trust


    me."


    "I..." Mia stared at him again and again. After a long while, she bit her lip and spat out three words,


    "I trust you."


    He asked her to trust him, so she did. It had been like this for so many years and he had never let


    her down.


    At the end of the day, this was all Mia wanted to hear. To have Neil''s reassurance so that she could


    see hope again and know that one day their son would return safely.


    Secret Garden, Chatterton Town.


    After the news of Levi''s disappearance spread out, the members of the Kyle family, who worked all


    over the world, rushed back to Chatterton Town as soon as possible. They gathered in Secret


    Garden to discuss Levi''s matter.


    After learning of the news of his disappearance, Karen was so worried that she didn''t sleep well for


    several nights. At this time, she looked lifeless. Kevin felt his heart ache watching the state she was


    in. "Karen, go back to your room and have a rest."


    Karen shook her head. "We watched Levi grow up. He''s been such a lovable child since he was


    young. I thought I would be able to


    see him get married and seed in his career soon... Who knew that something like this would


    happen to him? Just the thought of it makes my heart wrench. I can''t imagine how Mia must be


    feeling. I''ll personally cook some soup and send it to Mia at the hospital."


    In order to cooperate with Neil, Mia had ''fainted'' after hearing what he said earlier that morning. At


    this moment, she was resting in the hospital ward. It was spread to the public that she had yet to


    awaken.


    Due to the fact that this matter was extremely confidential, Neil made an exception and allowed Mia


    to continue putting on an act after hearing the news. Thus, the Kyle family had no idea that Mia was


    faking the entire thing.


    As the eldest son of the family, Jayden was instinctively the first to stand up when something


    happened. He said, "Dad, Mom, I have arranged for people to go to Xanduvia City to search for


    Levi. There will be news soon. Don''t worry too much. Don''t wear yourselves out before we find him."


    Julien did not remain idle either. He said, "Our country has a tense rtionship with Boulvend.


    Uncle Neil has Chatterton Town''s highest ranking military officials surrounding him. It''s inconvenient


    for him to


    carry out the searches, so Jayden and I will handle that."


    "Dad, Mom, I''ve sent out a search team too. Don''t fret." Since the two sons of the Kyle family had


    spoken, as a son- in-w, Lionel could not keep silent either. Although he typically did not like to


    speak up much in front of Kevin, he had to stand up and take on some responsibility this time.


    Members of the Kyle family were all very capable people. Typically, they handled everything around


    the house, no matter how big or how small. Karen and Kevin lived carefreely; they never really got


    involved in any of their businesses.


    Kevin trusted his son to handle business and Julien was definitely capable, but this was different.


    Their family member was missing, it would be impossible for them not to be anxious.


    "Karen, you''ve heard what the children said, right? Don''t think about anything for now. Go back to


    your room and rest." Kevin tried to sound nonchnt, but he couldn''t hide his concern for Karen.


    "Kevin, I..."


    Kevin held her hand and said, "Be good and listen to me."


    "But..." Karen still wanted to say something,


    but when she stared into Kevin''s firm and gentle eyes, she swallowed her words. Kevin told her not


    to worry, and so she trusted him.
