Mia spun around, realizing several security guards filing out from behind her. What happened? Sage got off his chair and stared at a nurse dashing by. "What happened?" "It seems that someone is trying to break in. The security guards have all gone over to the scene. No one is going to get in. Don't worry, Mr. Sage," Josie said. She hurried toward the entrance.

Plenty of weirdos roamed around these days, indeed.
Little did Mia expect that someone had the gall to break in. By the looks of how people were swarming toward the commotion, it was evident that people were always drawn to gossip.
Mia dropped her gaze and glanced at Sage. "Why don't we go and have a look?" Sage's expression remained shuttered. He shook his head. "What's the point? It's a waste of time." Holding his hand, Mia chided, "Why are you talking like an old geezer when you're a four-year-old? You shouldn't be this rigid. Con, let's see what all the commotion is about." Mia knew Sage had always been obedient and sensible. His maturity surpassed that of his peers, and his capability also put certain adults to shame. Still, she hoped that he'd live a carefree life like Ginger. He didn't have to always be so sensible.

Mia approached the entrance, holding Sage's hand in hers. She felt inquisitive about the bold invader.
The research institute looked nothing like a hospital; it was one of a kind. All the staff here avoided conflicts at all costs, and no one had ever attempted to break in before. So who was it? Mia saw a woman dressed in a red gown at the entrance hollering at the security personnel. "How dare you stop me? Do you have any idea who I am?" The head of security replied politely yet unyielding, "I'm sorry, Miss. No matter who you are, you can't enter our research institute without an appointment unless you're a staff member." "Asshole! Do you fucking know who I am? How dare you speak tolike that! I'll make your boss fire you later once I meet him," The woman threatened.
Jonathan was unfazed. He said nonchalantly, "You'll have to meet our boss in person and have him orderto do so. Otherwise, you're still not allowed to enter." Yet, the woman in red slapped him across his face in the next instant.
A hint of surprise flashed across Mia's face. Although the woman claimed to be Nicholas' fiancée, she'd never seen her before. It wasn't surprising, given how packed the upper crust was in Nord City.
