The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 584 - 595 Don’t Challenge Me (2)
"I was too young back then," Louis took a deep breath and said self-mockingly, "I didn’t know how to express my feelings, I didn’t know how to show love..."
"Stop it." Mia looked up at him, her lips trembling slightly.
"Alright." Louis said, "It’s all in the past."
"You will definitely come back for Maeve, right? Promise me." Mia looked into his eyes stubbornly, enunciating each word, "Promise me. You will come back for her."
"I..."
"Promise me!" Mia grabbed his coat with one hand, shaking it slightly.
"I promise you."
Mia was startled, looking at him without speaking.
"Does this count as tacit consent on your part?" Louis asked.
Mia still said nothing.
Louis’s thin lips paused at the corner of hers, then suddenly stopped and straightened up.
"Never mind." He smiled wryly.
Whether Mia could give it or not was another matter, but as for him, he could no longer ask for it.
There were still many things to do.
In the coming days, he had so many things to do, he was no longer qualified to indulge in feelings.
"Take care, okay?" Mia also took a deep breath, "Odin will be fine."
"Yeah." Louis looked at her, a slight mischievous smile, like a child’s prank succeeding, appearing on his lips, "Of course he’s fine, I arranged for him to be taken away. He is in a very safe place now."
Mia was taken aback, "What about you?"
"I need to find him, you’re smart, you surely know why I must find him."
Mia bit her lip, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Don’t worry." Louis rubbed her head through her hat, "I’ll be fine."
"Mm." Mia finally felt relieved, nodding her head.
"I’m leaving." Louis withdrew his hand, turned around, and ducked into the car under her gaze.
Mia stood there, watching him leave.
The cool night breeze blew by, and she only then felt the cold.
A jacket, still warm, was draped over her shoulders, shielding her from the cold.
Mia turned her head and saw Koa Jackson.
Koa pressed his lips into a smile, "Not cold? Let me take you back."
"Brother Jackson." Mia buried her head in his chest, murmuring, "I’m so sad."
"You have me." Koa raised his hand, gently rubbing the back of her head, comforting her softly, "You still have me, I’ll be by your side for life, never leaving."
"Do you think," Mia hesitated for a moment, whispering, "do I seem like a jinx?"
Koa blinked, "How could you be?"
"The people around me, one after another, slowly left." Mia’s voice was very small.
"None of it has to do with you." Koa lifted her into his arms, walking toward the hospital, and began to persuade her, "Don’t overthink it."
"Mm." Mia pursed her lips.
Koa tightened his arms around her and carried her back inside.

In the hospital room.
Caiden Ward held Maeve, sitting in a chair for a while.
He asked softly, "Little girl, how about letting Uncle Ward wash your face for you first?"
"No." Maeve shook her head, speaking seriously, "Little uncle said to let Sister Mia take care of me, I can only wash when she comes."
