Chapter 804: THEY LEFT HER BEHIND
Early in the morning, Misha found Lexus pacing in front of his bedroom door. Moreover, he looked uneasy.
"What are you doing daddy?" asked Misha as he folded his arms across his chest, eying his father suspiciously. "Why are you in front of my room?"
Lexus looked at him with a sullen face. "I didn't get up early to come see you, you go and work properly, so that you can earn a lot of money. Raising a child is expensive."
What kind of chatter was that? Misha frowned when he heard that.
"Was I an expensive child as well?" Misha asked in a calm voice.
"Yeah, you were so expensive," Lexus grumbled.
"But didn't I increase the company's profits by about eight percent when I took charge of it?" said Misha in a proud tone. "I think the profits I'm making now will be able to support a hundred children like me."
Lexus hissed like a cat when he heard that and this made Misha smirk triumphantly. He then left there, leaving his father who was still hesitating whether to enter Mika's room or not.
Based on what he had heard from Candice, he had learned that the girl looked a lot like Misha, but of course this little girl would be much cuter than his cold and seldom smiling son.
This made Lexus feel unable to wait to see his first grandchild any longer.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Misha found his mother who had just come from the bedroom.
"Your father has not been in the room since morning, where is he?" Candice muttered, sounding like she was talking to herself.
"He has been pacing in front of my room since morning," Misha replied casually, then started to enjoy his breakfast.
He wasn't wrong, because Misha's room and Mika's room were in front of each other's.
Candice clicked her tongue and then sat down on the chair and this made Misha raise an eyebrow. "I thought you'd go over to him and make him stop."
"No need, he won't go into the room, he won't dare because I already told him that he will scare Mika if he goes inside and shocks the little girl by making her see someone she doesn't know."
"Hmm." Misha nodded. His mother handled this much better.
Today, Misha should have gone to the office, but he didn't, just in case his parents couldn't handle Mika, because for the little girl it was the first time seeing them both and they were still strangers to her.
After finishing eating, Misha came to Mika's room carrying her breakfast, while Candice, together with Lexus, watched from afar.
"Mika is well, let's meet mom," she said. She couldn't wait to meet her mother.
"How about breakfast first?" Misha persuaded. "Mika still looks pale, mama will be worried if she sees Mika so pale like this."
Mika pursed her lips when she heard that and Misha looked for other ways to distract Mika's attention.
"How about eating first? After that, we will ask the doctor if Mika can leave or not, okay?" Misha said as he put the tray on the bed and handed a bee shaped sponge cake and this helped Mika cheer up. She liked her food like this.
"If the doctor says I can go, can I go see Mama?" asked Mika innocently while munching on her sponge cake. Her breakfast included a glass of warm milk along with some other soft cookies as well.
"Yeah, of course you can go see mama after the doctor says you're fine. So, drink your milk first, okay?" Candice said, she walked into the room with Lexus behind her.
"Hello," Lexus greeted Mika, who gave him a confused look, now that she was surrounded by strangers.
"Hello…" Mika greeted back shyly, but she then leaned closer to Misha when Lexus tried to get closer to her and this made Misha smile triumphantly to see her daughter's reaction like this.
=========================
Anthony went back to Kia's apartment and that was when he saw that they were moving.
But this time, he didn't come alone, he came with Amber, his sister, who was none other than Kia's mother.
She begged Anthony to take her to the apartment where Kia lived because Daniel didn't want to take her there.
Daniel insisted that Kia had said things she shouldn't have said, but he also didn't say what Kia had said to make him look so annoyed like that.
Not just annoyed, actually Daniel looked grumpy with a very bad mood these few days.
"What are you doing?" asked Anthony unconsciously because he was too surprised when he saw people starting to move things from inside the small apartment.
Actually, their lease had expired this month and because Keira was getting married soon and was going to live with her future husband, the lease here was not extended and because Misha said he would arrange everything for Kia and Mika, they decided that the two of them would move out of the apartment.
Keira turned around and immediately recognized Anthony, but she didn't recognize the woman standing beside him.
"I am moving," Keira answered briefly, she didn't feel that she had an obligation to explain further about this.
"Where are you moving to? Why so suddenly?" asked Anthony in surprise. He tried to look into the room, hoping he could see either Kia or Mika, but other than three men constantly going in and out of the truck to move things, they saw no one.
"No, it's not sudden, it's been planned for the past few weeks," replied Keira, which made Anthony feel a little embarrassed, because he was indeed an outsider who wouldn't know about these kinds of things.
"Kia… where is Kia?" asked the woman who was beside Anthony, she stuck her head out, trying to see into the almost empty flat.
"Kia doesn't live here anymore…" Keira replied, looking at the woman intently and this made Anthony realize something as he immediately introduced each other.
"This is Kia's mother," Anthony said, introducing Amber to Keira and telling her that Keira was the roommate he told about.
"Where is Kia now?" asked Amber, she was twitching restlessly. Her husband and children had seen Kia and even seen the child she had at the time, but she hadn't seen either of them.
"She doesn't live here anymore," said Keira, her face changed slightly when she found out that it was Kia's mother.
She knew that this wasn't a family matter that she could meddle in casually, but that didn't mean she wasn't annoyed at Kia's family or that she had disliked them since before she met.
"Kia doesn't live here anymore?" Amber asked, her eyes wide. "Where does she live now?"
"I can't tell you," Kiera said. Of course, she knew what happened and where Kia and Mika were now. She thought this was the right thing to do.
Indeed, parting with Mika was very painful for Kia, but this had to be done for the good of both of them.
And of course, the meddling of Kia's family was not something that could provide good progress for Kia.
"Why can't you tell me? I am her mother," Amber said with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lyrant, but I can't tell you about Kia's whereabouts for her own good," said Keira firmly.
And a man approached Keira, told her that all the things had been moved and whether she would check the apartment.
Keira said that she would check inside to make sure everything was taken away and nothing was left behind and at that time Anthony and Amber went inside with her. Keira let them, because this was no longer her place to stop them.
"Kia lived in this place?" Amber muttered while looking at the small apartment that was only as big as the kitchen in her house.
They weren't very wealthy people, but with him and Lyle working, they could live comfortably.
"Where is her room?" asked Amber while looking around her. Her heart ached when she saw this small room and felt that the mistake she had committed was fatal.
How could they not have thought about it all this time and were only now looking into it? Why didn't she think of her pregnant daughter living alone out there and try hard to find her?
She was kept under the assumption that Kia would apologize to them and come back to the house and they could scold her a few times and then let her come back home.
But, she didn't do that, she didn't apologize and she didn't come back home either.
They thought it was the most selfish thing Kia had ever done, but they never thought otherwise and wondered what Kia had been through while in their house and what she had done for them.
And after the assumption that Kia would come back and apologize never materialized, a few years had passed and they couldn't go back to that time anymore, because they had gone too far from their second child.
"She has lived in this room?" Amber clutched her chest when she saw that pitifully small room and Anthony felt the same way, because this was the first time for him to enter this apartment.
Meanwhile, Keira just looked at the two of them with cold eyes. She felt no sympathy for the two of them at all.
"When you're done looking around, I have to leave immediately, there are people from the moving service waiting for me," said Keira without any feelings at all.
