    Chapter 604: Is it because of my dad?


    After listening to Yanis, Mitch nodded and said, "Okay." He gave his phone number and address to


    Yanis.


    "Let me take you back," Mitch offered. Again, he nodded in agreement.


    Myles spoke up at the right moment. "You guys go ahead. I''ll stay with Evan and them."


    ...


    Zane drove Mitch to the hospital entrance.


    "Is Mia staying at the hospital too?" Yanis asked Mitch.


    Shaking his head, Mitch replied, "Nope. I rented a room for them nearby. Theye over during the


    day when Reed is there."


    Yanis nodded before getting out of the car. She bought a bunch of things from a supermarket near the


    hospital and gave them to Mitch. "Take these with you," she said as she handed him everything. "I''ll


    Looking at all that Yanis had bought for him, Mitch couldn''t help but ask her seriously: "Yanis?"


    "Hmm?"

    "Are you doing this because of my dad?"


    Mitch''s serious question caught Yanis off guard. It was not only because Mia''s family had taken care of


    her when she was in the Hill District of Viteto, but also because something happened to Mia''s father


    due to her.


    Overall, though, Yanis felt like it was just right that she repaid their kindness by doing what she could


    now.


    Before Yanis could say anything else though, Mitch spoke up again: "It''s okay; my mom told me that


    my dad and Nealon brought you there, so if anything had happened to you, then he would have had to


    take some responsibility too." He smiled gently at her before adding: "So don''t feel guilty or anything


    like that."


    After hearing what he said, Yanis shook her head slightly while smiling softly herself: "It''s not about guilt


    or anything."


    Mitch chuckled lightly then added: "Yanis, please go home now; I''ll take these things inside myself


    instead, so don''t bring any more tomorrow, or else my mom will get mad."


    Although wanting to exin more about this topic, ultimately she said nothing more about it."Okay."


    Yanis stood at the entrance of the hospital and wanted to watch Mitch go in first, but Mitch insisted on


    watching Yanis get on the car first and then leave.


    Finally Yanis turned around and got into the car, waving at Mitch as the car drove away.


    Standing in front of the hospital, Mitch waved back at Yanis. Watching the car go away, Mitch turned


    and entered the hospital.


    The hospital is always quiet at night. There are no peopleing and going.


    Mitch didn''t take the elevator with his backpack, but instead walked slowly up the stairs to the twelfth


    floor where the ward was located.


    Marnon''s room was on the twelfth floor.


    Mitch climbed all twelve floors in one breath, feeling a bit out of breath when he arrived. But it was also


    rtively easy because since he moved here, Mitch had been taking the stairs every night.


    As soon as Mitch reached Marnon''s door, he heard Reed''s voice. It carried a hint of crying as she tried


    to persuade Marnon to take her medicine.


    Reed called out "Mom" repeatedly like she was coaxing a child. Marnon had been forgetfultely and


    sometimes even aggressive towards anyone who came near her.


    The doctor said this was a normal reaction and that with active treatment, she could live longer, but her


    memory would deteriorate until her IQ dropped to that of a child on herst day alive.


    Mitch stood outside listening for quite some time before finally pushing open the door and walking in.


    Reed had just finished coaxing Marnon into taking her medicine when Mitch entered.


    But as soon as Marnon saw Mitche in, she put down her water ss heavily on top of a nearby


    table and asked: "Did you skip ss again today?"


    At first stunned by what Marnon said, it took Mitch a while before he realized what she meant. He


    walked over to pick up the water ss that Marnon had set aside earlier, then handed it back to her


    and said, "Nope! I went to ss today! The teacher even praised me! You should take your medicine


    first."


    Marnon stared at him for quite some time before snatching back her water ss from his hand, and


    then took her medicine.


    Afterwards, Marnon handed back over the water ss while saying: "Go ahead and rest now; I''ll get


    some sleep."


    Mitch said, "I''ll watch you right here."


    Without any response from Marnon, Mitch knew that she must have fallen asleep quickly after lying


    down under the cover again.


    Once sure that Marno had fallen asleep, Mitch looked up at Reed, who was sitting beside him in bed,


    "Have you eaten dinner yet?"


    Reed nodded, "The nurse who on shift tonight bought dinner for us. I gave money already."


    "Here''s some cash," Mitch said, pulling out several hundred dor bills from his backpack, "use this


    tomorrow morning to buy fruit or anything else Mom may want, and keep whatever is left for yourself."


    Reed looked at the money and asked, "Where did you get this money, Mitch?"


    Mitch bowed and stuffed the cash into Reed''s hand. "It''s my sry from work. Got it today."


    After putting away his bag, Mitch said nonchntly, "I saw Yanis at work tonight. She''ll being over


    tomorrow." He pointed to arge bag he had set aside earlier and added, "She bought all that stuff. Go


    take a look and see if there''s anything you want to eat."


    Reed followed Mitch''s gesture and frowned when he saw the huge pile of food in the bag. "Mom won''t


    be happy about this," she muttered.


    "If I didn''t bring it home tonight, she''d buy even more tomorrow," Mitch exined with a shrug. "Then


    Mom would really lose it."


    Reed wanted to argue, but couldn''t find the right words to say, so he just nodded silently.


    He didn''t eat much that night, but picked out two small bread rolls from among all the food in the bag


    instead. "How did you meet Yanis? Where do you work?" Reed asked as she chewed on her bread.


    Mitch pursed his lips before answering softly with an affirmative hum: "Just eat your food first, then go


    sleep; I''ll keep watch tonight."


    "Aren''t you going back home to see Mia and Payne?" Reed asked.


    "I told them I wouldn''t be going back tonight. When I left in the morning, I had prepared dinner for


    them," replied Mitch,"Don''t worry about them though – bring them here tomorrow morning, so Yanis


    can see Mia."


    Reed nodded slightly while biting the bread roll again: "Okay."


    ...


    Yanis and Zane returned to the studio. She checked her watch then turned towards Zane: "Let me help


    treat your injury on your face before heading back?"


    Zane shook his head lightly after hearing what Yanis said while touching where Foster had hit him


    earlier: "No need. It''s gettingte now so just go rest early."


    Normally Zane would have stayed longer with Yanis. But today he couldn''t. If he went inside her ce


    now, then chances are high that he might not want to leave anymore which was why he declined her


    offer instead.


    Yanis looked at the wound on his face and pulled him out of the car. "Deal with it before you go back."
