***After Mia was done eating, she went back upstairs to pick her bag. She tied her hair in a ponytail and then headed out of the house, after she’d bade the workers goodbye.As she didn’t have money, she trekked to the bus station. Thankfully, a public bus arrived as soon as she got there. She got on.A while later, Mia arrived at her destination. She stood outside the huge hospital building for a while, thinking to herself: ‘this is where all my savings is coming to.’She heaved a sigh and walked into the hospital’s ground floor which served as the emergency unit. The nurses at the front desk recognized her, and after exchanging greetings, they let her go in. Mia rode in the elevator alongside a few other people. She was heading to the fifth floor which was the intensive care unit (MICU 1). As soon as the elevator arrived, it dinged and its doors slid open. She walked out and took quiet steps down the silent corridor. She soon came face to face with the door that led into the thir

Mia felt a cold gaze drilling holes into the bare of her back and she instinctively turned around immediately. But as soon as she looked around, she found nothing. She saw nobody staring at her.Pursing her lips slightly, she hastily imputed her digits in the man’s phone and handed it back to him. Damien beamed with smiles. “Name?”“Hum…Mi-Mia.” “Mimia?”Mia couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle at this. “It’s Mia.” She blushed.“Lovely name.” “…” She blushed even deeper.“Thank you, Mia.” Damien nodded his head calmly.Mia bobbed and quickly shuffled away on her feet.Damien simply stood silently as he watched her retreating figure. “Mia…” He muttered.Smirking, he retreated back into the restaurant.—Unknown to absolutely anyone, someone had been watching the two all those while. A cold icy man with an icy cold expression on his face sat silently behind the steering wheel of his taxicab, watching his so-called wife and his sworn enemy flirt with each other. From a corner b

‘What now?’Mia shyly angled her head upward, peering at the imposing man towering over her. She saw that he was staring directly at her. His intense gaze made her feel exposed and vulnerable. Like she had felt earlier…“Erm, ca-can can I—?” She hesitated, pursing her lips.‘Can you what?’ The CEO stood there in silence, waiting for her to finish her question.“Can I hum-have your -erm-your phone numb…” Her voice trailed off and she began to cough incessantly. Awkwardness filled the air.Mia wasn't sure where she found the courage to ask for his number. But she believed it was only right for her to have her husband's contact information.She cleared her throat awkwardly as she awaited her death sentence.Phone number? The corner of Shawn's mouth twitched at the unexpected request. Truthfully, neither of them had exchanged numbers before—it was a valid point.“70-85…” He began reciting the digits. He was giving the girl his personal contact number. Mia hastily reached for her phone

In fact, with the ceremonious entrance and the accompanying crowd, the police officers were absolutely certain that the aloof yet ethereal-looking man was none other than the renowned business mogul, Shawn Mandez. Overwhelmed, they promptly bowed their heads, their bodies trembling, and swiftly cleared a path for the CEO and his entourage.As Shawn stepped into the station, the entrance was swiftly sealed and locked, preventing anyone inside from leaving or outsiders from entering. The chief of police swallowed uneasily, feeling a surge of fear wash over him, as well as his subordinates.Inside the police station, everyone strained on their tiptoes, eager to catch a glimpse of the man escorted by a retinue of bodyguards. Could he be the nation's president? No matter how hard they tried, catching even a glimpse of his face seemed impossibly difficult. All that was visible was Shawn's neatly permed, shining black hair.Onlookers couldn't help but express their frustration silently. Sudd

The drive back to Magnificent Residential Area was silent. The sun had already set.Mia's mind trailed back to what happened in the police station, and her heart warmed up instantly. No one had ever stood up for her like the man did back there in her entire life.And to think he had the policemen locked up... For what—five hours?! Just for her... Her cheeks heated up at once, turning red.But then, was it all for her? Or did he go over and do those things because of his debit card? Mia's face fell."You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" Shawn's cold voice jolted the girl out of her thoughts.She shook her head, "N-no."Just then, something flashed through her eyes, and realization hit her. She hadn't paid the hospital bills yet. Her eyes widened in horror."Please, can you drive straight to HK Hospital?" she quickly asked Lucas, urgency written all over her face.Lucas glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror, and the man nodded his head in approval. He immediately switched lanes
