《Uncontrollable Fondness》 Chapter 1 Be Sold (1) Chapter 1 Be Sold (1) Brown¡¯s Group, President''s Office. The assistant looked at the tall figure by the window and reminded carefully, ¡°Boss, Mrs. Brown has already arranged everything, you¡­¡± The man by the window turned around slowly. His beautiful wless face looked cold. He nced up and his ice-cold eyes scanned the assistant. The assistant shivered and lowered her head, not daring to face the president. In such arge space, there was silence for a while. Only when the assistant was about to pass out William started to talk. The icy voice seemed to pop out of his teeth. "Go back and tell Mrs. Brown, I will do what she wants, but I¡¯m... very angry!" ¡°Okay.¡± The assistant answered respectfully, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. He hurried out. Original from N?velDrama.Org. William entered the lounge with the same ice-cold look. Inside, it was so dark that the only thing he could see was a white bed. There was a bump on the bed. He knew, that was the "gift" his wife prepared for him. William became extremely irritated. Cursing everything, he sat down on the side of the bed, took out the cigarette and began to smoke. After smoking, William suddenly stood up, stub out the cigarette and was about to leave the room. Chapter 2 Be Sold (2) Chapter 2 Be Sold (2) Suddenly, something pulled him back. The woman on the bed who hadn¡¯t moved before, pulled his clothes and her hands sped his waist. What a shameless woman! William was so angry that he ripped off those hands and pushed them away. But the woman did not give up, suddenly like a gusty wind, she once again climbed on his arm. Her clear voice rose again, "Please, please..." She touched his arms, and her soft hands were pressed against his palm. At night, deep night, no one can see anyone. William kept calling out a familiar name, "Sophia..." Hepletely took her for the woman he knew. Ten minutester, he came out of the bathroom, feelingpletely refreshed. He just nced lightly at the blurry shadow in the dawn light, pursed his lips, pulled the door and went away. The morning sunlight with a breeze slipped into the room and projected on the white woman¡¯s body lying in bed, reflecting the bluish-purple spots. Mia Charles turned over with great effort, her delicate white face shrank, and her two eyebrows almost folded together. What happened to¡­her? She slowly opened her crystal-clear eyelids, her long-curled eyshes were shaking anxiously like two rows of brushes, covering shadows under her eyes. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Adapting to the sunlight for a short time, she eximed softly, finding out that she was the same color as her room, but everything¡¯s changedpletely. It was wrong! Everything here was also decorated in sky blue tones, sky blue floor, sky blue walls and even curtains were sky blue. However, the room was obviouslyrger than hers, several timesrger. And the things inside, luxurious and elegant, didn¡¯t look like her own room at all! Chapter 3 Be Sold (3) Chapter 3 Be Sold (3) She stretched her body, got up and the nket slipped slowly! How is this possible! She couldn¡¯t believe it, she never slept without her clothes on. What... What happened here? Her mind wondered a little and she looked up at her broken nightgown under the bed. What does it mean? Her head boomed once she realized what happened to her. She started shaking it quickly and shouted. The door was pushed open from outside, and the unfriendly visitor looked at the woman in bed with obvious disapproval. The visitor threw a dress at her feet, "Put it on!" Mia quickly wrapped her body in bed sheets. She didn''t look at the clothes, but stared at the cold-faced middle-aged woman in front of her, shaking her lips and asking, "Where... where is this..." The middle-aged woman didn''t bother to look into those eyes staring at her and just said in a cold voice: "You have five minutes to get ready, hurry up!" She turned around and left the room. Mia slipped out of bed, got dressed and opened the door. Her eyes were red. That middle-aged woman was waiting outside, standing straight like she was trained to stand that way. She didn''t take a look at Mia. She took a ck tape and blindfolded Mia¡¯s eyes. Mia desperately struggled, she tried to pull the tape, but someone hold her hands immediately. She could only shout, "What are you doing! Let me go! Or I¡¯ll call the police!" The only answer she got was a cold hum! Someone pushed her and she moved forward. She immediately heard the woman''smand, "Take her to the Diamond Vi!¡± Diamond Vi? Where was that? Why were they taking her there? Thoughts were flooding her mind when someone twisted her arms tightly against her waist. Judging from the strength, it obviously was a man. Mia refused being tied up and tried to escape. She cried anxiously, "Let me go! You¡¯re kidnapping me! I¡¯m gonna sue you! I¡¯m gonna call the police!¡± However, she couldn¡¯t even move them, these cold-blooded strangers. Someone put a cloth in her mouth and her voice was drowned. She heard the voice of middle-aged woman, sarcastically saying right in her ear, ¡°You¡¯re really greedy. Do you think you can get more money by calling the police? Impossible!" No, she doesn''t want money, she only wants freedom, she just wants to know what happened to her! In a second she was pushed downstairs and put into a car. The car was moving in an unknown direction. She couldn¡¯t see anything, and her heart sank in fear, wondering how this all could have happened. She¡¯s just received an eptance letter from Huntington Hospital, she was going to work as a physician assistant, but now... Damn it! She has to sign up today! Mia was very worried, but she couldn¡¯t spit out a word. She could just moan, showing her protest. No, no! All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Her face became pale and cold, and she was sweating more and more. She felt like she had fallen into hell from heaven in a second, and she had no idea what was waiting for her. What happened after all! Why does she have a sudden amnesia and can¡¯t remember what happened yesterday? Yesterday? Herst memory was a celebratory dinner she had with her father. Chapter 4 Be Sold (4) Chapter 4 Be Sold (4) Yesterday she was hired by the hospital, and she was so happy. Her father, who had always treated her badly, went out of his way and offered to celebrate together. Then she drank a ss of wine handed over by her father. And then... Mia remembered that, and her face turned so pale and her body was so cold that her fingers started trembling. It was her father who had done this to her. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. There is no such father in the world who can sell his daughter! Tears rolled down her face. Her grief was so big that she suddenly passed out. Even she was unconscious, her eyes were still filling with tears. But no oneforted her. When Mia saw the light again, she found herself locked in a room used as bedroom. The door was locked, no matter how hard she tried to push it, and there were security windows. Even a mouse couldn¡¯t get out of here, what to say about a man¡­ There was almost nothing in the room except a bed nearly two meters wide. Mia¡¯s body was in pain, but her heart hurt even more. Sold by her own father, what¡¯s there waiting for her? Did she really have sex with the so-called rich manst night? The thought of those sick men with their fat bellies made her retch. The door was pushed open again, and the middle-aged woman walked in. She dropped a few sexy nightgowns and said coldly, "Take a shower, get dressed and be with our boss whenever he wants you to¡±. "The boss? Who''s your boss?", Mia asked, hugging herself. The middle-aged woman snorted. She didn¡¯t reply, she just walked over and pulled Mia¡¯s clothes off. Mia was too weak, the middle-aged woman was tall and strong, they weren¡¯t opponents. The woman pulled Mia¡¯s clothes, snorted again and went out. Chapter 5 Be Sold (5) Chapter 5 Be Sold (5) She crouched on the ground and cradled herself for a long time. In the end, her eyes fell on those nightgowns. Everything was so revealing, she had no choice. Well, when the bosses, she will tell him she doesn¡¯t want to do it. Then let it be. And losing her virginity¡­Let it be. Her tears started rolling down again, even she said she wouldn¡¯t think of it¡­But after all, it was her first time, how can she stop crying? Mia took for her favorite blue nightgown and walked into the bathroom. She couldn¡¯t stop trembling as she looked at the bruises all over her body. The tears rolled on and on and on, and finally she crouched down and cried. She froze when someone knocked the door. Then there was silence again. Mia stood up and weakly walked out of the bathroom. Her head was dizzy, and when she came out, she felt an air-conditioner blowing here and there. She began sneezing again and again, obviously having a cold. Her eyelids were too heavy. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of crying or being tired. There was some food on the table, but Mia had no appetite and fell directly on the bed. Her body was so weak that she was shivering with cold. She knew she had a fever, but she justy down and fell asleep in a daze. Mia didn¡¯t know how much time passed since she¡¯d fall asleep bur finally, she was awakened by a blinding light. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. After she saw a minor long figure, she started shaking and tried to hide in her bed. The man¡¯s back was tall and straight, he wasn¡¯t short and didn¡¯t have a fat belly she¡¯d imaged before. But he was so cold that she kept getting goosebumps. A sneeze was too sudden. Mia¡¯s tears and snot were everywhere, she hurriedly reached for the tissues to wipe her face. The man turned around, revealing a face that was even more handsome than popstars had. When he nced at her, his indifferent look changed. His veins were bursting, and the teeth started chattering as he looked at her. He came forward, picked her up easily, and stared at her barely covered body. "So, you''ve done a lot of work to pull this off?", he hummed coldly, and, in his eyes, she could see just mockery and scorn. He pinched Mia¡¯s hands, her face was too pale, and her teeth were chattering with fear. Her dark-jeweled eyes looked at the angry man and she asked in a weak voice, "What work... What did I do...!" Goosebumps covered her body again, and suddenly he threw her to the bed. His body mmed hard against the solid wooden headboard, almost cracking. Looking back, she saw her sky-blue nightgown, which was already hanging on William¡¯s fingers. He flicked gently, humming in disdain, "Are you worth it?!¡± Mia didn¡¯t understand what he was talking about, instinctively searching for something to cover her body. Fortunately, there was a thin quilt at the end of the bed, and she crawled over to cover herself. But his hand was faster than her and he pulled away the quilt quickly. Her body, under the extremely low temperature of the air conditioning, was covered with red goosebumps, and she was shaking. William felt like he was watching a monkey show, he was staring at her with sarcastic satisfaction. A merciless remark came out of his mouth, ¡°Since you¡¯re sold to me, is it still necessary to dress up?¡± Sold¡­She was sold? Yeah, she should make it clear. Mia¡¯s red lips fluttered, and she tried to exin, "Mister, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m so sorry¡­¡± Chapter 6 Be Sold (6) Chapter 6 Be Sold (6) William was very angry at the moment. He wasn¡¯t in the mood to listen she said sorry. He stood up, picked her up again and said cruelly, "I tell you, don''t n on something bad here. Behave well and we¡¯ll go our separate ways when the baby is born.¡± Baby?... The baby? Mia was confused. She stared nkly at the devilishly handsome man in front of her. She''s gonna have a baby with him... No, no! She shook her head, and tears began to fall from her eyes, she kept saying, "Please, no, please, no!" At the same time William, standing in front of her, seemed like he knew something significant. He looked her in the eyes, pursing his lips tightly and thinking. Mia saw a hope and thought for a second that he might let her go. But suddenly he mped his own waist so hard that her bones were about to break. He said with wicked smile, ¡°I remember you begged mest night, why? And regret it today¡­ying hard to get, ah?¡± "Yes, no, no!" She shook her head and nodded, hoping that William would let her go. Original from N?velDrama.Org. Her head was dizzy, her waist hurt, her heart was in pain too! Let her go, let her go¡­ She was in such pain that she couldn¡¯t say a word, only pray with all her heart. However, William didn¡¯t want to let her go easily, he pulled her hand and pushed her again. Mia fell over on the bed. William touched her shoulder with his big powerful hand and said with cold crooked smile, ¡°As far as I know, you cost me a million dors. If you want me to stop, it¡¯s up to me!¡± Before Mia could say something, there was a wicked smile on his face. Finally, he announced like a king, ¡°For the sake of my family and my wife, I¡¯ll give you a chance to bear my child! But in the future, you¡¯re not allowed to wear blue clothes!¡± What logic is this? Why can''t she wear blue? She didn''t want to have a child with him, ever! Feeling huge pain and physical difort, Mia failed to say this. She fainted and her head fall down on his shoulder. ¡­ What time was it? Mia woke up in the dark and found her body, soft and painful, unable to get up. She felt like she was going to die, and she was terrified. "Is anyone here?", she asked softly. She really hoped that someone woulde and save her, but this was a real life, not the movie where the hero from ¡°Avengers¡± will save all people in the USA. Mia struggled to get up but fell directly off the bad as her arms were too weak to handle this. She hit the back heavily on the floor but couldn¡¯t really feel it because everything was in pain. Suddenly the door was pushed open, and she shivered instinctively. The light came on, hurting her eyes. Chapter 7 Be Sold (7) Chapter 7 Be Sold (7) The middle-aged woman stood there, facing Mia, disoriented and embarrassed. She snorted, turned around and left the room. A momentter, the door was opened again. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. She heard a faint conversation outside, but she, who felt pain everywhere in her body and soul, had no mood to think about who was talking there. Now all she wanted was to be free, free! Her legs were so weak that she couldn¡¯t stand. Mia gritted her teeth and cried, wiping her face with tears. The middle-aged woman came back again, holding some food, a ss of water and a small white paper bag. "Eat first if you want to stay alive, and drink thister,¡± the middle-aged woman said without any emotions. When she finished, she turned around and left. Mia made a small noise of agreement, staring at the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman''s face softened a little, but still did not have too much emotions, she said, "Since you¡¯ve chosen this path, go well.¡± Mia was trembling but tried to argue, "It''s not what I want. Please tell your boss!" The middle-aged woman didn¡¯t even care and simply went out. Although she had no appetite, her stomach was really empty. She barely took a few bites. After seeing the packet of medicine, she hesitated a little and finally drank it too. Outside the door there was William, holding a teacup with a cold face. Seemed like he was in a bad mood. The middle-aged woman came out and stood in front of him, "President, Ms. Charles has already expressed her willingness to have a child with you. Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Brown won''t force anyone to William narrowed his eyebrows, his eyes stopped on the middle-aged woman for a moment, silently. "President, please hurry up. Ms. Charles¡¯ ovtion will ur during next three days. If you don¡¯t want to make Mrs. Brown sad, let her have a baby as soon as possible.¡± Stepping up, he finally opened the door. Mia was obediently lying on the bed, her face was red. Her cute little face looked so tender, her skin was so soft and smooth. Like a baby, really! He quickly stepped forward, gently hugged her and called softly, "Sophia, Sophia¡­¡± Mia¡¯s thoughts slowly returned back to the room, and she bit her lip incredulously. She pushed William away, ¡°no, we...¡± How did this happen? She didn''t dare to think about such things before! She didn''t even hold hands with a man... Tears rolled down her cheeks, she was stunned, afraid and surprised in the same time. William took the pillow and saw Mia, who was in tears. He turned away in disgust, his lips raised, and he indifferently adjusted his clothes. He met unreasonable women, but he has never seen so damn difficult woman before. Sold herself, but still shedding her tears here, pretending to be innocent. Something¡¯s wrong with her head or did she think everyone else had a problem? William ignored Mia, who had been weeping in a bed, turned around and went to the bathroom. Mia didn¡¯t know how long she cried. Tired of love plus physical difort she fell asleep in a daze. After a while, she saw herself in a dream, wearing a white doctor¡¯s coat and walking into the Huntington hospital. She was holding her hand of James Davies, the most admired and promising young doctor... James told her so many things, she was so excited that she had tears in her eyes¡­ Suddenly her body was in pain again. She immediately heard a voice shouting, "Get up!" Chapter 8 Be Sold (8) Chapter 8 Be Sold (8) Mia opened her misty eyes and returned to reality. No hospital, no happiness, nothing¡­ Overhead the middle-aged woman stared at her coldly with a pair of gloomy eagle-like eyes sparkling with contempt and disdain. Her mouth crooked weirdly; she was holding an empty te in her hand. She looked at Mia lying on the bed in embarrassing position, raised her hand and pointed to the table, ¡°Eat and then take your medicine." "Take my medicine?" Mia nced down at the ss on the table with a white paper bag underneath. After eating in the morning, she... Being hot and unable to stop, and that man was doing all those things that made her blush just remembering that night, and she was shouting! Medicine! Mia¡¯s face was pale, she didn¡¯t care about wiping her tears anymore. She looked up at the middle-aged woman at forty-five degrees, asking a question in her mind, "What medicine is that?" The middle-aged woman was toozy to care about her and just went away. Mia shivered and wrapped herself with bedsheets, walked to the table, staring at the bag with medicines. Three minutes were enough for her and she threw it away. That guy, really disgusting, actually used drugs to trick her! The woman suffered so many things, Mia felt like dying. But the dream of being a doctor that she had been pursuing for so long was about toe true. How could she give it up now? What''s more, James Davies, who was adored as a doctor for a long time, has recently joined Huntington Hospital. She worked so hard to get the chance to learn from such a great man. Mia tried hard to force herself to eat something, as she needed strength to find a way to escape. On the bedside table, there were still a few nightgowns that the middle-aged woman gave her yesterday. They were too small and too short to wear them. Mia thought for a while, and finally decided to run away wrapped in bedsheets. She couldn¡¯t get out from the window, and the door was closed. Except for William, only middle-aged women wille to open the door. Mia was confused, she knew the woman woulde to clean up the table. She nned to wait for the middle-aged woman to open the door and rush out. Once outside the door, she could shout for help and ask someone to call the police. She lied back on the bed, quietly waiting for her chance, and her dark-jeweled eyes were looking at the door. She was silently encouraging herself. Half an hourter, the door was finally opened, revealing the gloomy face of the middle-aged woman. The woman looked at the table and saw the white paper bag left untouched. She raised her eyebrows All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. sharply and hurried forward, "Why didn¡¯t you take your medicine!" Angry, she forgot to close the door, giving Mia a great opportunity. She jumped out of bed and went straight to the door, pulling it with both hands. Finally, she opened the door and ran out. Wrapped in bedsheets, she could not run fast, and the middle-aged woman quickly caught up with her. Mia opened her mouth and shouted, "Help, help!" Surely, several people rushed out from all directions, all in ck. Without thinking, Mia ran towards one of the men in ck and grabbed his arm, "Help me!" The man didn¡¯t move, and the middle-aged woman twisted her mouth ordering, "Catch her and put her back!" Turns out, they all were... Mia¡¯s escape n failed at this point, two men in ck put her in front of the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman raised her hand fiercely. The fierce light in her eyes clearly showed that she wanted to beat her. Mia closed his eyes instinctively, someone force opened her mouth and put some bitter powder inside. When she realized what she had taken, she spit hard, hoping to spit out the powder. The woman didn''t give her a chance and pinched her mouth until the powder melted and slipped into her throat. After being sent back to her room, perhaps by the effects of drugs, Mia felt drowsy and closed her eyes. All the sounds became distant and unreal. Something was going on in the room. The voice came and went. She felt slender fingers of a woman pointing across her face, ¡°This face really looks alike.¡± ¡°This means the president has a deep affection for Mrs. Brown.¡± ¡°Keep an eye on her and send her away as soon as the timees." ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Peel an apple for me.¡± ¡°Ok.¡± ¡°...¡± Chapter 9 Be Sold (9) Chapter 9 Be Sold (9) When Mia woke up again, the room was quiet and there was no one. She saw a shiny fruit knife on the table, emitting a cold beam of light. As if by magical power, she slipped out of the bed and took the knife. Her face was still pale, but her head wasn¡¯t dizzy anymore, and the fever seemed to be gone. Looked like the middle-aged woman gave her some meds for cold. Mia went back to her bed and sat there quietly, without moving. The light was getting dimmer, and she felt the same about her body. There was a ss of water on the table, she walked over and drank it in one breath. The middle-aged woman walked in and turned on the lights. Mia suddenly shivered, clenched the knife in her arms, instinctively trying to hide. The middle-aged woman hummed and turned to check the table. When she saw the empty ss on it, she nodded, satisfied. She said indifferently, "The president wille over soon, behave well.¡± "Please!" Mia¡¯s head was dizzy again, she said these words with great effort, ¡°Let me go, please. And Original from N?velDrama.Org. money¡­I¡¯ll tell my dad and he¡¯ll give them back!¡± ¡°Boring!¡± The woman turned around and said just one word. Mia got up from the bed and wanted toe closer to the woman, but her body was trembling. Everything started moving around her, and her face turned pale. She had this feeling before, she¡¯s ¡­ been drugged again. But when? Mia looked at the ss on the table and almost bit her tongue. Why can''t they leave her alone? Her anger was getting stronger and stronger. She bit her lip hard, took out the knife and shed the knife into her arm¡­ The blood poured out and the severe pain made her mind clearer. The strange airflow inside her body slowed down, Mia stared at the blood beads rolling down the arm, breathing heavily. She doesn''t want, she doesn''t want that with that man again! A pair of shiny leather shoes, she didn¡¯t know how they appeared near the bed, and ck suit pants, covering the shoes and man¡¯s legs were in front of her. Mia was surprised and looked up, seeing the cold man''s face, so scared that his lips were fading. Instinctively, she picked up the pillow and covered her bleeding arm and knife. She stared at the dangerous man with frightened rabbit eyes, her whole body tensed up. William blinked his beautiful eyes impatiently and snorted disdainfully, taking her expression as one more trick. He threw off his zer, revealing the sky-blue striped shirt, pulled away his tie, and rushed towards her. He didn¡¯t want to say anything¡­He just grabbed her, taking away the bedsheets with both hands¡­ Chapter 10 Be Sold (10) Chapter 10 Be Sold (10) ¡°No!¡± She clenched her fists, and the pain in the arm kept her awake. William¡¯s lips sneered sarcastically, and he said fiercely, "y hard-to-get? It makes me even more interested.¡± With one move he tore the sheets straight off. "No!" William was right in front of Mia. She narrowed her eyebrows, her beautiful face grimaced as the humiliation feeling welled up again. She instinctively drew the knife, pointing at William. He felt a sudden pain in the back of his hand and chest. His cold eyes sank as he stretched his hand to hold Mia¡¯s. He saw the two blood marks on his arm and chest, grabbed the knife and threw it away. Original from N?velDrama.Org. In one second, he picked her up angrily and mmed down from the bed. Mia¡¯s eyes were filling with tears. But she still looked at him with stubbornness. She bit her lower lip tightly, leaving no trace of blood on her face. William stood up, picked her up again and forced her to look him in the eyes. The rage in his eyes was sharp, like countless swords were piercing her. The feeling of humiliation made her bite her lip more and more and close her eyes tightly. What will he do now? Terrified, she was shivering like a leaf, but she didn''t even call for help. Looking at Mia for three minutes or so, all this time William was thinking of various ways to torture her, but finally calmed down when he saw her delicate face. He let her go, and she fall to the floor. "You should be thankful that you have a beautiful face!" He sneered, simply tidied himself up and went out. Beautiful¡­face? Mia touched her face covered in cold sweat and tears, and a burst of grievances filled her heart again. If she didn¡¯t have this face, she might never get into this trouble! Mia ran into the bathroom, washed her body with the coldest water, wiping the bloody marks over and over again. Until she was red and swollen, she had to admit that the damage he¡¯d done to her was so deep that no matter how long she would stay in the shower, she could never wash it away. Mia came out of the bathroom when the sky was slightly bright. There was the middle-aged woman waiting for her in the room. Mia didn¡¯t know when she came. She was so scared that she froze in fear, putting arms around her wet body. The middle-aged woman was still indifferent, but suddenly she nced at Mia hatefully, her eyes were more severe than before. She didn''t say anything and threw a set of clothes under her feet. With a great effort Mia put on that clothes. Simple and conservative. She felt relieved. Looking at the mirror and fixing her hair, she was too pale and haggard. Her lips trembled a few times before she asked in a hoarse voice, "Today... What day is it today?" She thought a middle-aged woman would ignore as before, but she replied, "Twelfth." Twelfth. She¡¯s been here for three days? Three days! Felt like a century. She suffered the heaviest humiliation and shock in her life, her heart was broken. Mia asked no more, her delicate and soft body shook, and her heart was torn to pieces. Afterst time, William seemed to forget her and never came again. She was taken to a shabby little house. The light was dark and there were no windows. Every day someone brought food on time, and the middle-aged woman also disappeared. And she, with a particrly heavy mind, slept and ate and slept again. How long has she been sleeping? She didn''t know it, but she got used to darkness and lethargy. She did the same thing every day, forgetting who she was. She felt better this way, at least, she didn¡¯t have to suffer and worry about her life when she was awake. Dreams, longings, future, all these things gradually dimmed in her mind. Her eyes fainted into endless darkness; she could not see the light anymore. Finally, one day, she saw the middle-aged woman with the familiar cold face. The woman gave a signal and two men in ck helped Mia get into the car. This time she was taken to an exclusive private hospital without a blindfold. Only one doctor, under the supervision of a middle-aged woman, carefully conducted a series of tests for her, and then shook his head at the middle-aged woman. Chapter 11 Money for Selling Yourself Chapter 11 Money for Selling Yourself "Are you sure?" The middle-aged woman looked at her suspiciously but asked the doctor. Mia looked up and saw a calendar on the wall with 25th marked on it. She licked her lips. Half a month, time flew really fast! The doctor nodded attentively, "Yes, Mrs. Johnson. She¡¯s not." Mrs. Johnson nodded again. Wearing a gray jumper, she strode over, stopped in front of Mia for a while, then waved to the man in ck, "Send her away!" The man in ck left her behind and walked away without looking back. Mia''s weak body shivered in the wind. She turned around and saw a familiar alley. Walking for another 100 meters, and there would be the house she had been renting with her father. Small, twenty square meters, just one room and one hall. Will she go back? Wiping tears, she realized that she was still holding a piece of paper in her hand. Looking closely, she saw it was a check. Only then she remembered that a handsome man in ck looked at her with pity before leaving and handed a piece of paper, "This is your final payment." The final payment. Several zeros were drawn on the top, and five more were at the front. She wasn¡¯t in the mood to count these digits; her heart was tingling. Innocent body was finally bought by a check, how ironic! Having had so many fantasies about the future and love, Mia never imagined that one day she would surrender her first time in this way. William¡¯s face became more and more blurred in her memory. She wiped the tears from her face and vowed topletely forget this abominable man. "Donations, donations¡­ Please, help to save our poor Emily, little patient with uremic syndrome, she is only eight years old..." A group of college students stood on the mobile parade, with a donation box in front of them. One man was shouting emotionally in a microphone. There was a photo on a big banner right on the car. A girl with big eyes wide open and full of cravings was looking into Mia¡¯s heart. The car came to the front, and the man with the microphone said to her, "Miss, help, a girl who is only eight years old." A girl about her age looked over her, just on the check she was keeping in her hand. Mia quickly, as it was burning in her hands, tossed the check into the donation box. "Thank you." The car went away. The girl was gone, her hopeful eyes were gone, and she was relieved with the loss of the check. All right. She turned around, jumped on a bus going to the city and went off outside the Huntington Hospital. Huntington Hospital hasn¡¯t changed at all. There were still so many patients and doctors in such a This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. hurry. The cars parked in front of the hospital came and went away, went away and came again, parking lot was always busy. With a pounding heart, Mia walked quickly to the hospital''s bulletin board and looked for something. When she found the hospital recruitment form, her face turned pale and her heart broke sharply. Three unfamiliar faces were posted on the bulletin board to introduce them, and they were all neers who had passed the exam this time and joined the hospital team. Without her! She was first, but because of this ident... Tears rolled down her eyes again, and she shook her shoulders and cried, feeling aggrieved. She ran upstairs quickly and went to the dean''s office. She pushed the door and walked in. "Dean, I''m sorry. I''m Mia Charles. I didn''te on time because something happened." The dean picked up his reading sses and looked at Mia''s face. He shook hid head, "You didn¡¯te within the specified time. We have already given the quota to others." Chapter 12 Seeking Death Chapter 12 Seeking Death "But..." Mia couldn''t tell the true reason for her disappearance. A girl suffered such a thing. How could she say it? After hesitation, someone eagerly pushed aside the headmaster¡¯s office door, "Dean, Mrs. Brown This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. doesn¡¯t feel well today and has already arrived." ¡°And you¡¯re still not in a hurry!¡± The dean became nimble for a while and pushed the messenger out with his massive body. Mia followed him for few steps and stopped at the door. Not far away, she saw a brightly dressed young woman, supported by people. Mia could only see a bit of young and delicate figure. The dean and some doctors nodded and bowed in front of the woman. Several men in ck were behind her, and the scene was spectacr. In this way, Mia was left behind by the dean. She lost her job, her innocence and even her future, everything went dark. What is there waiting for her? She went out quietly and stopped on the side of the road. The cars passing by quickly shed in front of her eyes. What''s the point of living when there''s nothing left? Mia closed her eyes and went straight into the driveway... The horn sounded, but she didn¡¯t hear it, waiting for theing pain. ¡°Look out, Miss!¡± The voice was clear. Someone grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the driveway. Opening her eyes, she saw a young, handsome man on top of her head, looking at her with a deep concern. A strange feeling filled her heart, but in a second she was back to normal again. "Miss, if there¡¯s something you can¡¯t figure out, you shouldn¡¯t give up your life for this. It''s not easy to live. It takes several years just to learn how to walk and talk. Can''t you do something else even your heart is searching for death? His voice was so clear and mellow, with a touch of cynicism. Mia felt a spring breeze blowing into her body like a waterflow. Her torn heart recovered a little; no longer she felt that pain, that despair. Suddenly she found herself lying in his arms. She pulled back in embarrassment, setting her clothes, and said softly, "Thank you." "Have you thought it through?" He tilted his head and smiled; his arms dropped naturally. His fingers were long and clean, he looked good. Mia nodded. Seeing this man with a gentle smile, she didn¡¯t have courage to say that she didn''t want to live. What''s more, what he said really makes sense. It isn¡¯t easy to grow up. Is it necessary to seek death if someone hurt you once? The man let go of her, showing two rows of white teeth and narrowing his eyes. There was something in him from the young man that always reminded others of the elder brother. "It''s okay, go back." He patted her shoulder, like a big brother, and Mia¡¯s heart warmed. Behind him, someone looking like nurse ran panting and pulled the man¡¯s arm, ¡°Doctor Davies, Mrs. Brown has already arrived. Her condition is not very good. The dean is looking for you." The man''s face slightly changed; his eyes clearly filled with anxiety. He stopped talking to her and ran to the hospital without looking back. He is also the doctor here? Mia blinked, feeling envy. It''s like being bitten by someone, the bruise will always be there, just look how you cover it up. Mia walked around the streets,forting herself, and instinctively taking the road she knew very well. She saw a group of people there, stopped for a second. After taking the deep breath, she felt as calm as never before. Sam Charles, who was sitting there smoking, quickly stood up, pulled a crooked smile on his face and asked, ¡°Have you came back?¡± Chapter 13 Ruthless Father and Cold Home Chapter 13 Ruthless Father and Cold Home Mia said nothing and twisted her fingers. In the face of Sam Charles, she couldn''t find a word to say. If she didn¡¯t get used to this home, she didn''t want to see him again. Sam didn''t care much, and looked at her up and down for a while, "Where have you gone? You called me earlier and said you¡¯re back. Why did you arrive sote?" She didn¡¯t to answer and went straight to the house. ¡°Mia Charles,e back now!¡± Sam roared running over. His body crooked, his mouth crooked even more obviously, "Your dad raised you! And you ignore me now?¡± Mia stopped, staring at her foster father. Her heart was pounding, she was biting lips without saying a word. Sam said no more and stretched out his hairy hand to Mia, "Bring it." "Bring...what?" Frowning lightly, she asked. Sam nced dissatisfiedly, "Money! You¡¯re useless, half a month and nothing. They only gave one million of 5 million final payment. Did they give the rest of money to you? Well, they said two million for a baby, five for a son..." His words were too rude, and Mia wanted to cover her ears. He sold his own daughter, and now, without even saying ¡°Hi¡±, he went straight to business, asking about money. She couldn¡¯t help crying, but her heart was strong enough to say one word, ¡°No!¡± Saying that, she walked toward the corridor. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Sam came close and dragged Mia to the same ce she was standing before. Starring at her with two wide-open bronze eyes he shouted, ¡°You forgot your fucking dad raised you! And what¡¯s now? Now its dad¡¯s time to spend your money, this is how it should be. You don¡¯t wanna give it or what?¡± Mia only cried and couldn''t say a word. What he said, what he did over these years, how he treated her coldly, she epted everything. Only this time her heart was freezingly cold. Her grievances had nowhere to vent, she shouted helplessly, ¡°Dad, I can work and earn money for you. Isn''t it too much for me now? Do you know how much I¡¯m suffering?¡± ¡°Suffering?¡± Sampletely ignored Mia¡¯sints, he was all into the money, ¡°Be honest. Tell dad where you¡¯ve hidden the money. Quickly give it to dad!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have it,¡± Mia shook her clothes a few times. She had no pockets and could not hide a check. She spread her hands and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve donated it.¡± ¡°You''re fucking...¡± Sam¡¯s mouth crooked to his ears. He stared at Mia fiercely as he was about to hit her. Mia sternly closed her eyes and sneered, "Come on. After this we¡¯re done.¡± The hand didn''t fall, Sam smacked his lips and hummed, ¡°We¡¯re done? Nice! Dad raised you for so many years, and when you¡¯re gonna pay me back?¡± He turned around and walked out, dialing the phone on the way. Mia sat down and began stroking her chest. She wasn¡¯t trying to hide from this disaster, she realized what family she¡¯d grown up in. When she opened the door, a burst of sour smell spread, she could not help but cover her mouth. She saw that the feast on the table that was put on more than ten days ago was still there. The dishes were
