Chapter 447 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

“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.
Regardless of whether he was the person she loved, she only knew that if she was in pain, she wanted
him to feel even more pain!
This kind of relationship had tortured Huston for many years, and his heart gradually turned cold and
numb. If it weren’t for the appearance of Evelyn, he might have allowed Mia to be indulgent for the rest
of his life. But now he realized the
consequences of his indulgence.
“I’ll give you the best arrangement and try my best to let you
you want, but the condition is that you must stop
involving yourself in my relationship with Evelyn.”
“Evelyn’s lack of trust in you is a problem between the two of
you, not mine,” Mia saw the hurt in Huston’s eyes and knew exactly how to hit him where it hurt the
most. “If she believed in you, it wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
“None of this has anything to do with you.” Huston’s hands, which were hanging by his side, secretly
tightened. He had to try his best to keep his temper in check. “Have a good rest. Thinking too much is
not good for your recovery!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter that, Huston turned around and walked out as if it would be waste to take another look.
Mia’s eyes were almost ablaze with anger. “Huston! I’ll leave if you want, but only if you promise me
one condition!”
Huston stopped, but he didn’t look back. “What condition?”
Mia took a deep breath and said word by word, “My parents have passed away, and I have no other
family left except for my grandmother. Even though her health has been poor for many years, I still
want to spend more time with her. During the time I’m receiving treatment here in the country, I would
like to take the opportunity to visit her.”
When Huston heard this, he suddenly turned around. He had
Ust Been informed about Sandy’s condition at the hospital, and now Mia was making such a request.
Was it a coincidence, or had she known about it beforehand?
His probing gaze scrutinized Mia’s face, not missing even the slightest expression. The sound of Mia’s
heartbeat seemed to reverberate in her ears, leaving her slightly dazed. Nonetheless, she mustered
her strength and met his gaze, saying, “This is my final request. Can’t it be granted?”
