The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 461 - 472: The Chancellor Arrives (8)
Allen is outgoing and enthusiastic, and Mia seems in good spirits too. An hour passed quickly.
——
Past ten o’clock at night.
Koa Jackson and Mia Ginger returned to Cloudy Capital.
The lights in the living room were on.
Uncle Lewis had been waiting for some time. Seeing them return, he greeted them with a smile, exchanged a few words with Koa Jackson, and then turned to go back to his room.
Mia followed Koa Jackson and went straight back to the bedroom.
It was already eleven after they finished washing up.
Mia habitually wore Koa’s shirt, without asking for his permission, and climbed onto his bed, lying across it with her elbows propped up, checking the photos taken that afternoon.
Koa Jackson came out of the bathroom and saw her in an extremely inelegant pose.
He pressed his lips tightly together, leaned over to take the camera from her hands, turned it off, and set it on a nearby table.
Mia bounced up to look at him, pouting, "I wanted to show you the photos."
"It’s late," Koa replied softly, spreading his arms, "Come here."
"Hmm." Mia, a bit muddled, obediently went over and hugged him.
Koa embraced her and carried her to the bathroom, nodding towards her, "Wash your hands."
Mia: "..."
Obediently washed her hands, only then realizing he thought she’d gotten her hands dirty by touching the camera.
Koa carried her back to the bed.
As soon as the sheets were lifted, Mia rolled to the side, seeing him lie down, she wrapped her arm around his and snuggled up, adorably looking up and murmuring, "Brother Jackson."
"Hmm." Koa reached out to stroke her face. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Mia allowed him to touch her, even nuzzling her cheek into his palm like a little cat, acting spoiled.
Koa lowered his eyes to look at her, remaining silent for a while.
Mia naturally sensed something was off, bit her lip and glanced at him, leaned forward, and kissed the corner of his lips.
Koa met her halfway.
——
"Brother Jackson."
Koa hugged her tightly in his arms, his lips near her ear, speaking softly, "Girl, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm." Mia lightly hummed, her voice enchanting like flowing water.
"I..." Koa paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "I’m going to Chili Town on a business trip tomorrow noon..."
Mia was stunned, immediately coming to her senses.
Chili Town?
Peace Chili Town?
There...
She instinctively looked up, hesitantly asking, "...The epicenter?"
"Yeah." Koa replied with one word, gazing down at her eyes.
Mia stared at him in disbelief for a while, opening her mouth but unable to say a single word.
Not knowing what to say.
She of course knows how dangerous it is there now, not wanting him to go.
Yet at the same time—
She simply can’t utter any words to stop him and make him stay.
He’s a doctor, and his importance to the disaster area at this time is self-evident.
Whether as part of the hospital’s directive or a doctor’s duty, he has no room to retreat.
Mia bit her lip and buried her head into his chest, uttering an "Hmm."
Koa was taken aback.
Truly didn’t expect her to respond so simply with one word.
The worry in his heart eased a bit; he bowed his head and placed a kiss on Mia’s forehead, comforting, "The earthquake is over, it’s not actually that dangerous there now, and the colleagues from the hospital are going together to look out for each other. Don’t worry."
