Chapter 249 The Last Request

• His calmness frightened Mia, and now she dared not easily mention her parents, afraid that it would displease him. “I know I was wrong, but I never intended to harm anyone. But what about Evelyn? She almost killed me. Do you know how scared I was when I was pushed into the pool? And now you’re telling me to leave. Perhaps I am just superfluous to this world.” “You are not superfluous. Your life belongs to you, not to me or anyone else. Mia, please focus on your treatment and recover well. To pursue the life you desire.” “I also want to get better soon!” Mia raised her voice, but unfortunately, the prolonged treatment left her with little strength, and her voice was hoarse.
• “I didn’t cause any of this. It’s because of you! I wouldn’t have ended up in this lonely state if it weren’t for you. And what do you say? You want me to leave? Huston, you’ve changed. I almost don’t recognize you anymore…” As she spoke, she became emotional, and tears rolled down her cheeks as if Huston had done something wrong to her. “Mia, I haven’t done anything wrong to you. It’s just that I owe something to your parents, and I hope you can understand that.
• As long as I’m alive, I will protect and take care of you, and I cannot give you more than that.” Mia widened her eyes and looked at him as if he was unreasonable. “Do you mean you don’t feel sorry for me?” Those teary eyes resembled her mother’s eyes, lying on the hospital bed, barely clinging to life after the car accident. She was so sorrowful as she held Huston’s hand and entrusted Mia to him. Huston frowned and gently closed his eyes but still couldn’t face it. He spat a few words with difficulty, “That’s not what I meant.” “What do you mean then? Tell me,” Mia insisted on winning the argument, poking at his pain points.
