Mia whispered, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you.”


    “It’s fine, as long as you’re alive!” Patricia cried.


    Comforting Patricia, who had been sobbing, Mia also couldn’t help but brush a tear off. “Have you been


    doing well these years?”


    “I have. Dominic arranged for someone to take care of me, and I get regr check -ups at the hospital.


    It’s just that I feel more guilty toward you whenever I ept his kindness. You should’ve been enjoying


    your life, yet you passed away.


    Fortunately, this is all fake.”


    Mia faltered. “Actually, I don’t remember what happened in the past. Dominic kept me from getting in


    touch with you because he wanted to prevent me from regaining my memories and contacting the


    Barretts.”


    Patricia nodded. “I understand. In fact, you don’t have to exin that much. I’m not very good at


    keeping secrets after all. Dominic has his reasons for doing this.”


    “I’m worried that you’re angry.”


    “Silly girl, why would you think that? I’m overjoyed.”


    Patricia wiped her tears away. “Oh yeah, will the Barretts find out that you visited me?”


    “I don’t think so. I’ve settled things with them earlier on, so there won’t be any


    issues for now.”


    At least Timothy had yet to suspect her, nor had he sent anyone to stalk her. That meant she was still


    safe.


    “Great. I just bought some freshmb this morning. I don’t usually buy this much, but I suddenly did


    today. It turns out that there’s a reason for it. I’ll cook for youter–they’re your favorite.”


    To no avail, Mia intended to stop her. They both had lunch together in the end. Mia was usually quite


    picky about food, but her appetite improved as she indulged in Patricia’s cooking.


    Mia checked the time. “Aunt Patricia, I’m afraid I can’t stay on any longer. I’m in a hurry actually. I’ll visit


    you next time when I’m back.”


    “Sure, no worries. I can wait after you’re done dealing with the Barretts.”


    Seeing how understanding Patricia was, Mia feltplicated. She might’ve suffered a lot during the


    time she was adopted, but she was still loved.


    She exchanged her contact with Patricia so they could reach each other easily in

    the future.


    Mia was in a good mood after she left Patricia’s ce with Peyton.


    However, a man emerged from the vi across Patricia’s ce once Mia took her leave. He called his


    boss immediately, “Something’s up. I’ve sent the photos.”


    Meanwhile, Heath received the said photos. His expression changed drastically the moment he saw


    the person in the photos. “Is this Ms. Monalize?”


    He couldn’t fathom why Monalize visited Mia’s aunt. Or could they possibly be


    the same person?


    Heath hurried into the office. “Mr. Barrett, I have something important to tell


    you.”


    “Go on.” Timothy didn’t lift his head.


    “You told us to monitor Mrs. Barrett’s aunt back then. One of them sent some photos to me earlier. It


    seems like Ms. Monalize visited her. Have a look.”


    Timothy’s expression shifted. He jerked up and took the iPad. He narrowed his eyes once he saw the


    woman in the photos.


    “Mia, you’re quite something!”
