Chapter 156 – Changed in the middle
That time, after being led by Nangong asked to break out from the group of reporters, Mia went back and became very ill, with a high fever for many days. Nangong asked for a doctor, and Mia’s health improved greatly.
“Mia , look at you, you’ve been sick for so many days, you’ve been in the house, why don’t you go out for a walk? Or else, you’ll be bored.” Walking over to Mia’s bedside, Nangong asked, gently combing her chestnut hair with his hand, softly persuading.
“Nangong asked, I really don’t know where to go, I’m so upset inside and I don’t know what to do to relieve it.” Looking up at Nangong asked, Mia’s spirit was very disheveled.
Not to mention the fact that she’d been sick for some time, the mere thought of Asher defending Leena that day made her mood inexplicably stifled and stuffy.
Could it be that she really wasn’t over Asher yet, and if not, why did an uncomfortable feeling well up inside her at the sight of him defending another woman?
Knowing Mia’s mood, Nangong asked with a softer voice, “Mia , don’t worry, I’ve found a place for you this time, you’ll definitely like it. You’re so stuffy in your room all day, I don’t feel at ease, go out for a walk, okay?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Although she was too weak to have the energy to go out, Mia couldn’t bear to go against Nangong Man’s good intentions, she nodded and finally followed him to the place he had found long ago.
It was a themed hotel built in the suburbs, surrounded by sculptures of various colors, a path paved with colorful cobblestones stretched towards the hotel, and a few meters away from the hotel was a small artificially created river with a small bridge paved with colorful glass.
It was now late in the evening, and the artificial creek was shimmering and colorful in the sunlight, with a special splendor and charm.
“Nangong asked, I have to say, you always find some surprising places.” Standing on the small bridge and looking around the surroundings, Mia’s eyes were full of amazement, “I like this place so much that I want to stay here for a while.”
The evening sunset shone on her body, gilding her white dress with a golden glow, making her whole person look like an out-of-this-world white lotus, her small face like a morning dew, with a kind of out-of-this-world pure beauty so stunning that people couldn’t move their eyes.
“Mia , don’t look at the outside as simple, this is a rich club in the city and it’s very well set up with everything. You can stay here for a while as long as you want, I’ll make the arrangements.” Slowly walking side by side with Mia towards the inside of the hotel, Nangong asked, his voice soft as water.
Sure enough, when Mia walked inside, she realized that the inside was really something else, the setup inside was simple but you could tell that the best configurations were chosen, the whole hotel looked simple but generous, luxurious but especially classy.
The two walked together to the second floor and sat down at the clinical seat, overlooking the surroundings downstairs, Mia sighed comfortably, “Nangong asked, you should have brought me to this place earlier!”
“It’s my fault, I should have brought you here earlier.” Nangong asked and apologized tenderly, “Mia , I’ll go downstairs now and choose something you love to eat up. You are just fine and still weak, so just sit for a while, okay?”
Mia nodded and watched Nangong asked’s figure descend the stairs, she then turned her gaze to the window, looking at the endless ground outside and gradually fell into a deep thought.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded behind her.
“What took you so long to go? But, fortunately, the scenery here is not bad, I quite like it.” Thinking it was Nangong who asked to come back, Mia said without looking back.
The man behind him did not speak.
“Nangong asked, how do you … Asher, how is it you?” Suspiciously turning her head, upon seeing the person standing behind her, who was actually Asher, Mia jerked up from her seat all of a sudden. Because she stood too hard, her body couldn’t help but sway a little.
The next second, Asher stepped over and held her up, his voice full of tenderness and concern, “Are you okay?”
Although her body was drained, Mia braced herself and tried to push the man holding her away, her voice pale and slightly agitated, “Asher, get off me, I don’t want you to touch me!”
She doesn’t want him to touch her!
After pushing Asher away with all her strength, Mia’s face was pale, her cheeks tinged with a faint red from excitement, while her eyes glowed like stars in the night, looking straight at the man in front of her.
He must have been so angry that she had just pushed him away!
However, instead of the anger she expected, Asher’s face immediately darkened with a pair of dark eyes, helplessly furrowing a pair of thick eyebrows, his voice taking on a faint melancholy and helplessness, “Do you really hate me that much?”
“Why are you here, where’s Nangong ask? I want to find Nangong ask, I want to go back!” With a faint look of surprise on her face, Mia forced herself not to notice the fall from Asher’s body, her voice turning slightly shrill with excitement.
How did Asher find this place when Namgung asked to bring her here?
Thinking about her last birthday, Mia decided in her mind that Asher knew she was here and had followed her all the way here, and that had to be it!
“He’s just gone and told me to take care of you.” Pressing his hands down and trying to calm the small woman in front of him, Asher put his voice to its gentlest, “I’m not going to touch you, don’t be nervous, let’s talk about it, okay?”
Seeing the surprise and excitement of the little woman in front of him when she saw him, Asher’s heart felt like it had been poked hard by something, and it hurt like hell.
Finally, he got a taste of that pain too.
“What did you say? You’re saying that he told you we were here and sent you over?” Mia’s eyes widened in disbelief and her face went even paler as she shook her head desperately, clenching her lower lip with her bite, “No way, he would never do that, he knew full well that I didn’t even want to see you!”
Seeing Mia’s own words about not wanting to see him, Asher’s heart jerked so hard it hurt, even though he had been prepared for it.
“Mia , I know you hate me and know that you can’t forgive me easily at all. But, five years have passed, will you let me make amends? I know you can’t forgive me in your heart because of the child, but please believe me, it was definitely not …” Asher’s tone, actually carried a vague plea.
Was he really begging her?
Mia shook her head, desperately trying to escape him, pale, her eyes full of crystal tears, “It’s too late for anything now, the wounds of the past five years have long since formed scars, yet they will never heal easily again. I don’t want to pursue what happened five years ago, but I also ask you, please don’t show up again, I really don’t want to see you again, to see you is to relive the pain of my past.”
Slowly, slowly, she faded towards the second floor stairway.
If she could run away from Asher now, she would have run away fast! Damn Namgung asking, actually negotiating with Asher and leaving her to face Asher the man alone!
Outside, the sky was full of sunshine just a moment ago, but now it was raining heavily, as if, together, they were also mourning Mia’s mood.
“Mia , don’t run, I won’t hurt you, don’t be afraid, watch your step, it’s raining outside!” Asher looked at Mia who was running out of the hotel with a pale face and carefully followed her, carefully persuading her.
I’d heard that her health hadn’t been good lately, and I was afraid that if she was allowed to get wet again, her health would be worse.
Mia, however, couldn’t listen to anything at all; she was so intent on escaping Asher that she hurriedly ran towards the outside of the hotel, despite his urgings. The sky was pelting her with pea-sized raindrops, which soon soaked her white dress and wrapped it tightly around her body.
Her dimpled body was soon revealed.
“Mia , don’t be like this, it’s fine if you don’t see me, but you mustn’t hurt your body, okay? You’ve already had a high fever for a few days, if you get wet again, you’ll definitely catch a cold again, listen to me, okay?” Asher’s handsome face was full of anxiety as he followed behind Mia.
Mia’s thin body, soaked to the bone in the rain, and the gusts of wind that kept blowing, seemingly trying to sweep her away, filled Asher’s heart as he watched.
This woman, she doesn’t want to die just to avoid him?
Not caring any more about Mia’s reaction, Asher took a few steps after her, picked her up by the waist and stomped towards his parked car. Mia was very unhappy with his behavior, hitting and kicking, protesting, “Asher, put me down, I don’t want you to control me, you put me down!”
“Stay where you are!” Holding back the pain and anger in his heart, Asher shoved the ever struggling Mia into the passenger seat without saying a word, suppressing the urge in his heart to tear the ungrateful little woman to pieces, and sat down in the driver’s seat with a grim face.
“Asher, what are you doing, where are you taking me? You let me out of the car, I don’t want to be with you!” Mia, sitting in the passenger seat, was not quiet for a moment and tried to open the window, only to find that Asher had long ago locked it shut, she yelled with a chagrined look on her face.
Unable to hold back his anger any longer, Asher growled lowly, “Mia, you’re sick, and if you get wet again, you’ll get even sicker! Even if you hate me, even if you hate me so much that you want to kill me, you need to have the strength and be healthy to take revenge, do you understand?”
