Mia cleared her throat awkwardly. “I called ude before heading out this morning, but a woman


    picked up instead. My call caused ude’s break upst time so I didn’t want to disturb him again.”


    Connor fell silent. He was secretly fuming, wanting nothing more than to beat the living shit out of


    ude. That jerk was always so unreliable!


    “One more thing, Connor. I don’t want to use my current Identity anymore.” Mia’s expression turned


    serious. “I want to start fresh in Nord City.”


    She didn’t want Timothy to track her down. She had to protect her child.


    Connor nodded. “Okay, give me some time. You look tired. You should get some rest once we get


    home.”


    “I don’t want to go home!” Mia’s protest was quick, her unease palpable. “Connor, my mind’s al mess


    right now, and I want to gather my thoughts at a quiet ce. Tell Aunt Patricia that I’ll be busy the next


    few days and will be staying in the school dorm. I don’t want her worrying.”


    She couldn’t risk going home. That asshole Timothy would surely find her there. She would be walking


    right into a trap if she went home.


    Connor sighed. “I have a ce near the hospital. I usually crash there when things get hectic. You can


    stay there.”


    “Okay.” Mia finally rxed and soon drifted off to sleep.


    Connor parked the car in the apartment garage. Seeing Mia asleep, he couldn’t bring himself to


    wake her.


    Noticing the bandages on Mia’s hands and feet, Connor knew she must have been in a lot of pain from


    the fall.


    Connor got out of the car alone and pulled out his phone. He called ude and thetter soon.


    answered, “What’s up. Connor?”


    Connor let out a string of curses. “Didn’t you promise to pick Mia up and drop her off at school. every


    day? Where the fuck were you when Mia got hurt and bullied?”


    ude sobered up instantly and scrambled out of bed. “Connor, what happened to Mia? I drank too


    muchst night and only just woke up. What happened to her?”


    “ude Lane, it’s one thing to be an unreliable kid. But I entrusted Mia to you, and this is how you

    answered your phone! Were you sleeping the whole time? Is some woman more important than


    Mia?”


    Connor was on the verge of losing it. He finally found his sister and was hellbent on keeping her


    safe.


    But ude overslept at the worst possible moment! Connor wished he could twist that brat’s neck!


    ude felt bad. “Where’s Mia? How is she? I’lle over right away.”


    “She’s in the apartment where I live. Get over here and apologize. If Dominic finds out, you’ll never see


    Mia again,” Connor hissed.


    “Don’t, Connor. I know I messed up. I’ll be right over.” ude apologized quickly.


    After hanging up, ude hurriedly changed clothes. A woman hugged him from behind. “Honey. are


    you leaving already?”


    ude grabbed the woman’s wrist and said in an icy tone. “Did you answer my phone?”


    The woman looked guilty. “I don’t remember. I was half asleep.”


    ude pushed the woman away. Remorse was eating at him right now!


    If Mia could forgive him this time, he would turn over a new leaf and stop being a partying yboy


    every day.


    Meanwhile, after giving ude a piece of his mind, Connor carried the sleeping Mia upstairs.


    Just as he gently set her down, he noticed her phone was ringing with the caller ID showing-‘


    Scumbag‘.
