    Chapter 131 A Woman Who Cared About Me


    Jericho gripped the armrests of his wheelchair as he saw the woman''s presence.


    "Why did you bring her?"


    Noah looked indifferent as he said, "Weren''t you the one who said you''d clear up the misunderstanding


    as soon as possible?"


    "I''m referring to you!" Jericho shouted as he red at him.


    With a faint smile on his lips, Noah looked at Ste and gestured with his hands.


    Mia walked slowly towards him. The closer they were, the clearer the past that shed through her


    mind.


    There was a cold expression on Jericho''s face. He turned his back slightly. But when he leaned forward


    to hold the wheelchair, the ne hidden under his hospital gown was exposed.


    When she saw the ne, Mia''s heart skipped a beat. She has one just like it around her neck.


    Actually, it wasn''t a ne - it was just an ordinary chain with a ring on it.


    The ring wasn''t valuable and the ne was made of cheap material. It had been worn for so long


    that it was already rusty.


    Mia remembered that this was a gift she had shamelessly given to Jericho. When she was sixteen


    years old, she saved her breakfast money for three days and picked out this pair of rings from the little


    shop opposite the school.


    Although she was a girl who had begun to fall in love, the boy she loved was still indifferent. It seemed


    that the only way he could express his love was by bullying her even more.


    Although Mia was almost in tears at his mischievousness, she stubbornly gave him one of the rings.


    "What does it mean?" The boy blushed as he asked, even though he knew the meaning behind it.


    "It means that... you can only be nice to me from now on, and don''t bully me!"


    "Hah, it''s just a broken iron ring... It''s not even made of silver!"


    "Jericho, do you still want it?"


    "I didn''t say no, it''s better than having nothing!"


    "Well... Mia!" Although he was on cloud nine deep in his heart, he still acted harsh. "This ring is just too


    simple! If I make a lot of money in the future, I''ll buy you a real diamond ring!"


    As her fondest memory ended, Mia slowly touched her neck and held the ring tightly in her hand.


    Indeed, he was now in a higher position and earning more money than before.


    But, she wondered, did he remember all the promises he had made?


    Jericho turned his back to her, clenched his hands and bit his lip.


    "Jericho." After a long pause, Mia uttered in a low voice.


    "I know you don''t want to see me. Since you have decided to break off our contact in the future, let''s


    just end this- once and for all".


    Ste was startled when she heard her exnation. She rushed over and grabbed her arms. "Mia,


    what are you talking about?"


    "Ste, I understand your good intentions." Mia took a deep breath and forced a smile as she


    continued, "But it seems that Mr. Hart... He obviously doesn''t want to talk to me anymore."


    "No, Mia! He''s actually..."


    "He should give me my thing back!"


    At this point, Jericho was stunned by her words. His heart tightened painfully, as if blood were pouring


    out of it.


    He knew that she was referring to the ring around his neck.


    Little did she know the hardships he had endured over the past ten years just to protect that ring?


    When he was imprisoned and feelingpletely hopeless in his life, this ring became his mental pir


    of strength to carry on.


    Life in prison was difficult - he often came into conflict with other prisoners. Even when he was badly


    beaten, he protected the ring dearly.


    Everyone knew how much he treasured that ring and felt that he had lost his mind. After all, how could


    an ordinary person risk his life just to protect a twenty-dor ring?


    Jericho unconsciously protected the ring as he slowly turned his back to look at Mia.


    "I''m sorry, but it''s mine."


    "I bought it back then," Mia replied, looking indifferent.


    "True, you bought it. But... you gave it to me!" Jericho''s eyes widened as he clutched the ring tightly.


    "Since you gave it to me, it''s mine now. Why do you want it back?"


    "I gave it to the man who is willing to treat me well all his life! Not you!" Mia red at him bitterly.


    She hated him for pretending to be indifferent, hated him for not exining things to her, hated him for


    choosing the stupidest way to express his love.


    Within seconds, Jericho''s heart tightened - his wound began to hurt at that moment.


    Having been under the scorching sun for too long, he was somehow exhausted. His face grew pale


    and cold sweat trickled down his cheeks.


    Noticing this, Noah immediately stepped forward to check on him. It was probably because his wound


    had been opened.


    Without hesitation, Ste hurriedly ran out to get a nurse.


    Mia crouched worriedly in front of Jericho, holding his hand. "Jer... Jericho. How do you feel now? Are


    the wounds deep?"


    In fact, being stabbed was nothing new to Jericho. He had been wounded by gunshots before, much


    more serious than this.


    What hurt him most were Mia''s cold words and the way she looked at him.


    He didn''t know how to defend himself or gain her forgiveness.


    It was a total uncertainty for him if he could ever get their rtionship back to where it was.


    "Jericho!" Noticing his silence, Mia thought his condition was critical and burst into tears.


    On the other hand, Ste finally managed to find a nurse. They rushed Jericho into the ward and gave


    him some basic treatment. Once the bleeding was under control, there was no more serious problem.


    Mia had stayed by his side throughout the whole process. Her eyes never left him as she held his


    hand.


    Noticing this, Noah and Ste looked at each other in silence and smiled.


    "Darling," Ste whispered. "I don''t think Mia will be leaving today. I''ll get her something to eat. Then


    we''ll go home together."


    Noah nodded his head, agreeing to her suggestion.


    After Ste left, the nurse asked Mia quietly, "Are you the patient''s family?"


    Mia was stunned by her words. Before she could even react, Jericho, who was lying on the bed,


    immediately nodded his head.


    "Miss, you should pay more attention to his condition." The nurse frowned as she lectured, "How could


    you put him out in the hot sun when he''s injured? He will sweat easily and when he does, the sweat will


    soak into his wound and infect it. It will slow down his recovery!"


    "Ah, I get it..." Mia nodded dazedly.


    "Mia..." Jericho tugged at her arms as he pouted in a weak tone, "This is all thanks to your best friend''s


    hubby pushing me into the scorching sun."


    Noah''s eyes widened as he heard his false statement.


    For a split second he had clearly sensed the n Jericho had in mind!


    "So it was you!" Mia turned and crossed her arms over her chest as she shouted, "What are you doing?


    Why did you bring him out in this hot weather? I bet you''re doing it on purpose!"


    "Let''s just forget about it, Mia." Jericho forced a smile, "He''s doing it for my own good too, he says it will


    help replenish my calcium..."


    "What calcium?! Don''t you have anymon sense!" Mia raised her voice immediately as she


    shouted, "Liam, I know that you two have feuded in the past. But things have been over for so long and


    Jericho had stopped giving you trouble except for the two times before, right?"


    "How could you torture him when he''s injured!"


    Now Noah waspletely speechless at her usation.


    "I even thought you had turned over a new leaf after the way you treated Ste!" Mia rolled her eyes as


    shemented, "I didn''t realise you are still the narrow-minded and ruthless person!"


    Jericho, noticing Noah''s darkened expression, tried his best to hold back hisughter as he continued


    to act pathetic in front of Mia.


    Mia turned her back to take a closer look at Jericho, only to notice that he had two blisters on his lips.


    "How did you get them?"


    "Oh, the blisters." Jericho exined weakly, "It''s... it''s just that he was taking care of me the other day


    and identally burned my lips."


    "Liam!" Mia shot a deadly re at him, as if she wanted to get into a fight with him.


    "Mia, let''s not haggle over this matter! It doesn''t hurt. Well, he''s already tried his best in taking good


    care of me. So, we need to be thankful with about that..."


    "You fool! Why are you still defending him when your lips are all burned?" Mia turned her head and


    red at Noah, "Mr. Anderson, I won''t bother you to take care of him in the future! My God, your


    actions are truly unbelievable!"


    Noah''s face wentpletely dark and he took several deep breaths to regain hisposure.


    He narrowed his eyes, throwing dead res at Jericho. Jericho, however, smiled in provocation as he


    met his gaze.
