After hearing everything, the sore spot in Mia’s heart slowly began to heal. Her family hadn’t


    abandoned her on


    purpose.


    Dominic finally managed to pull himself together, though his eyes were still red. “Mia, it’s all my fault. I


    didn’t do a proper background check to ensure that the nanny was a good one. I’m the reason why you


    were separated from the family for so many years.”


    Mia’s eyes reddened as well, and Patricia was sobbing harder than her. “Mia, atst, you’ve found your


    family. This is wonderful.”


    Though Mia hadn’t been on the verge of tears, Patricia’s crying made her burst into tears as well.


    The six men nodded to themselves. The first step of the n was a sess.


    They needed to slowly heal Mia’s heart and undo the hurt she felt.


    Dominic secretly sent his assistant a message to settle the hospital bills on Mia’s behalf.


    The next morning, Mia was once again woken up by a phone call.


    Still half-asleep, she answered the call, “Hello?”


    “Mia, where’s my watch? Where did you put it?”


    Timothy’s curt voice dispelled all of Mia’s drowsiness.


    She sat up in bed and replied, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me.” (


    Once she finished speaking, she ended the call.


    Maya had moved in with Timothy, right? Why was he not asking Maya to help him look for his watch


    instead?


    Mia figured that bastard Timothy was doing it on purpose.


    Meanwhile, Timothy pursed his lips. He couldn’t believe that Mia had hung up on him!


    He picked up the watch nearby and marched out of the house. He was so furious that he didn’t even


    stick around for breakfast.


    When Timothy got into the car, he immediately asked Heath, “Did the hospital call her?”


    “They did,” Heath replied.


    “Are you sure?”


    Since Mia knew that the payments for James’ medical fees had been halted, what gave her the


    audacity to be rude to him?


    Whatever money she had wouldn’t be enough to cover the hospital bills.


    Timothy had specifically called Mia today to give her a chance to give in to him first, but on the contrary,


    she had the nerve to drop his call!


    Heath spoke up hesitantly, “I had someone look into the situation. Her uncle’s medical fees have been


    paid off.


    “Hah,” Timothy scoffed. “She can probably only afford a month’s payment.”


    “No, the medical fees have been paid off for the next ten years.” Heath rified.


    Ten years?


    Timothy tugged on his necktie. “Where did she get that kind of money?”


    Heath reported, “ording to the records, she only made payment for one month. It was someone else


    who came alongter to pay for the next ten years. But the person used an anonymous ount, so we


    couldn’t find out who it was.”


    Timothy lowered the car window. The morning breeze came in.


    With knitted brows, he asked Heath, “Who do you think did it?”


    “Perhaps the man who took her away in a helicopter the other day?” Heath suggested tentatively.


    Timothy’s expression darkened. He had underestimated Mia. Now that she couldn’t get anything from


    him, she immediately threw herself into another man’s arms.


    After thinking for a while, Timothy instructed Heath, “Gather all the information you can find on the


    Fleur International Design Competition.”


    After being rudely woken up by the call this morning, Mia couldn’t fall back asleep.


    When she came out of the room, she saw a handsome man sitting on the couch-it was her cousin,


    Liam,


    She remarked, “Liam, you look like that movie star, Linden Lane.”


    Liam cleared his throat and said, “A lot of people say that. Well, I do work as his stand-in.”


    He stood up and hastily changed the subject. “Mia, I bought you breakfast. I don’t have anything to do


    today, so I can go out with you. If you need to get anything, just let me know.”


    From today onward, he was going to follow Mia everywhere! After all, he was the one with the most


    time on his hands-and the most bored, too!


    To him, shooting a film was nowhere near as interesting as spending time with Mia.


    Mia showed him thepetition invitation she was holding. “Liam, I need to head to this ce to


    register for apetition.”


    Though Laura had helped her get a spot as a contestant, she needed to be there in person to officially


    register

    ???


    Liam nced at the invitation. It looked familiar to him. Was it not thepetition that Dominic’s


    company organized once every three years?


    As Dominic was a real estate mogul, hispany would organize interior designpetitions. The


    winning designs would be used for their residential properties.


    Liam was surprised to find that Mia was also joining thepetition!
