The Wrong Woman

Mila appeared despondent, resembling a broken spirit. With all her loved ones kidnapped, she felt utterly helpless, unable to devise a plan for their rescue. Even reaching out to authorities seemed futile.

Calls from the research institute urged her to return promptly. However, Mila was no longer the driven workaholic of the past. Of late, she was weighed down by numerous concerns. Unable to shake off her worries, Mila found herself unable to concentrate.

Just then, the phone interrupted her thoughts. Mila set aside her book, reaching for the phone by her bedside. It was Sienna calling. "Hey, Sienna, what's going on?" she answered.

"Chubs, I heard your friend has been discharged from the hospital. When are we going abroad?" Sienna asked.

Mila felt a pang of regret. "Sienna, we'll have to wait a bit longer. I have some matters to attend to."

“Is it about your grandparents? They still haven't been found?" Sienna inquired.

Mila’s mood darkened. "They've been hidden away by Oliver. It's not going to be easy to track them down."

"This arrogant Daniel is finally willing to cooperate with treatment. I hope we can go abroad soon and find the best doctor for him. Once his eyes and legs are healed, I won't have to deal with his grumpy face every day. Earning this money isn't easy!" Sienna remarked.

Mila chuckled softly. "Sienna, is Daniel there with you? Or are you saying this on purpose for him to hear?"

Sienna laughed in response. "Sharp, as always."

“You and Daniel can go ahead without me," Mila suggested.

"We won't understand the language, and without any contacts, it will be challenging. I can't just take a disabled person to Sunterland for medical treatment without support,” Sienna explained.
