Chapter 125
Speak of the devil
People should not speak ill of others behind their backs. Alter Sherri and Natalie finished discussing
Mia, Natalie walked out of the office to grab some disposable gloves. That was when she met Mia.
After more than two years, Natalie was still a little shocked to see Mia again. Mia was no longer
dressed gorgeously or wearing heavy makeup. At this moment, she did not put on any makeup. She
looked much more comfortable. The first impression Natalie had was that Mix had become worldly-
wise.
When Mia saw Natalie, she was surprised but quickly regamed her composure. Then, she laughed
self-deprecatingly. “It has been a while. It turned out that it was because of you. Throught it upon
myself. I didn’t expect Mr. Wilson to have an affectionate side” Mia snorted.
Natalie did not understand what Mia meant. Natalie narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”
Mia did not explam Instead, she said, “I don’t look forward to the day you two get back together”
After saying that, Mia pushed open the door to Trevon’s ward Hackett had told her the ward number.
Hackett had found her half an hour ago. He hoped she could explain to Mr. Wilson to leave herself a
way out.
Natalie glanced at the back view of Mia as she walked into Ward 1314. Natalie did not dwell on what
Mia had said. Then, Natalie asked the reception desk for gloves. “Give me a box of gloves.
The nurse handed the gloves to Natalie and said, “Mrs. Wilson, did you see the trending topic this
morning? The person who spoke to you just now seems to be the subject of the trending topic. Do you
know her?”
Natalie took the gloves and casually said, “I don’t know her. She asked me for the ward number of a
patient.”
The nurse believed Natalie and did not say anything else. Natalie took the gloves and turned to return
to the office. She was not someone who liked to chat in groups.
Mia pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw the person whom she had missed previously,
her heart would still palpitate, but the sensation was no longer as crazy as before
Even though the man was sitting on the bed without saying a word, his well-defined facial features,
high nose bridge, and person exuded an aloof nobility from head to toe. The feeling of wanting to get
close to him but couldn’t was irresistible. Trevon had already guessed that Mia would come when
Hackett left. Trevon glanced at Mia and did not spare her a second. look His gaze was still on the
phone I remember telling you two years ago to stop pushing your luck Mia, do you think I respect the
Blackwell family so much that I’ll allow you to challenge my bottom line again and again?” Trevon’s
tone was filled with hatred and coldness.
If it were in the past. Mia would have acted like a spoiled child and begged for mercy or apologized
tactfully. However, she no longer had such thoughts because the outcome would not change.
Therefore, whatever she did would be in vain. “What must I do so that you will let me off? Do you want
me to apologize to her?” Mia was naturally referring to Natalie. Mia had nothing left. Her reputation that
she had built for the past few years had been ruined. However, Mia was afraid that Trevon would do
something she could not bear.
Finally, Trevon raised his head and glared at Mia. “Explain? Do you think you’re worthy?” His
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexpression was as dark as it could be.
Trevon lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He was not so dizzy today. He looked down at Mia
standing in front of the bed. “Go to the slurns of Haililand. Don’t let me see you in Athana for the rest of
my life”
The slums of Haililand were unfit for living. It could really be called a slum. Mia didn’t expect Mr. Wilson
to be so ruthless. He destroyed her reputation and chased her to such a place. Wasn’t he forcing her to
a dead end?
Mia knew that Mr. Wilson was behind the trending topic. Mia also knew that she could no longer stay in
Athana. Who would still go to her training school to attend classes? Everyone was avoiding her like the
plague.
Mia did not want to go to Haililand. She put up a last-ditch struggle. “Mr. Wilson, hasn’t your anger been
appeased by the trending topic early in the morning? Everyone hates me now.”
Jim was afraid that Mia would court death, so he reminded her, “Miss Mia, you can’t blame anyone for
what you did. You have to receive the punishment you deserve for taking a mistake.”
Min laughed. She was laughing at herself and also at Trevon. “Trevon Wilson, this is the first time I’ve
called you by your name. I used to call you Trevon, but I want to call you by your full name today.”

Seeing that the man’s back was facing her, Mia did not care anymore and continued, “Do you think you
and she broke up because I caused a misunderstanding between the two of you?”
Mia sneered, and tears rolled down her face. As she cried, she smiled and said, “It looks like that’s the
case. Trevon Wilson, you’ve always felt superior in your dealings with anyone. You never think that
you’re wrong. Actually, we’re the same kind of people. In the past. I only wanted you. Even if the entire
world thought I was wrong. I’d brainwash myself repeatedly and tell myself that I wasn’t wrong. I walked
further and further down that wrong path. That’s why I have this outcome today. I
deserve it, but you’re not much better off” Mia laughed.
Jim said. “Miss Mia.”
As expected, the man was angered. He suppressed the anger in his heart and glared at Mia. Leave
Athana today”
Mia was afraid when she heard that, but she still wanted to take a gamble. “I can explain to her about
you and me. I promise it will be effective. This way, can I negotiate a condition with you?”
After a moment of silence, Mia took it that Trevon agreed.
Mia no longer provoked Trevon. Instead, she said truthfully. Tll explain to her everything about you and
me, including the child, and that I was the one who pestered you. Of course, there’s also the matter of
you returning me the evidence of my drugging”
“What did you say?” Upon hearing that, the man grabbed Mia’s neck angrily. He was so furious that his
eyes were red and filled with killing intent.
At this moment, the scene of Natalie suddenly asking him one night if he knew the mastermind flashed
across his mind. Hence, Natalie had wanted to confirm it herself. She was not asking him to investigate
it. However, what had he done? No wonder Natalie suddenly moved out and even proposed a divorce.
Did Natalie think that he was in cahoots with Mia? Ile gave the information to Ma because he wanted to
tell Mia that her matter had been exposed. He was warning Mia to behave and not make any further
moves.
Why did Natalie misunderstand that he was protecting Mia?
Jim was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade Trevon. “Mr.
Wilson, we are in the ward. Mrs. Wilson will come in at any time.
In disgust, Trevon let go of Mia and pushed her to the door frame. He took a tissue to wipe his hands.
Jim gestured for Mia to leave. “Miss Mia, I hope you’ll keep your word and explain to Mrs. Wilson
properly. Otherwise, your
outcome might not be something you can bear.”
The man’s back was facing Mia. He had turned around and was facing the window. He was filled with
regret, confusion, and powerlessness. He took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. As if he had
thought of something, he threw the cigarette into the trash can and looked down at the people coming
and going downstairs. He fell into deep thought.
Mia was right about one thing. He was powerless to refute that. At first, when Mia came in, he had the
urge to strangle her to death. However, when she pointed out his mistake, his confidence faltered, and
he felt he had been ridiculously wrong.
Jim quietly watched the man stand by the window without saying a word. Eventually, Jim chose to
leave silently. When someone was in a bad mood, they preferred to think about their problems alone. It
was also a courtesy to leave silently and
not disturb them
After leaving Ward 1314, Mia did not return to her father’s ward on the eighth floor. Instead, she
headed straight to the doctor’s office to look for Natalie. Mia stood at the door and knocked politely.
This behavior of hers shocked everyone. No one could have imagined how arrogant and overbearing
Mia used to be.
Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the office turned to look at the door. Natalie was no
exception. When she saw the person who came, she knew that Mia was there to look for her. She
stood up without hesitation.
Natalie slowly walked to Mia. “Are you looking for me?”
Mia’s expression did not look good. One could even see the tears at the corners of her eyes. “I’d like to
talk to you.”
“Let’s go.” The two of them walked to a corner of the ward corridor. Natalie leaned against the stainless
steel fence and asked directly. “What do you want to tell me?”
Mia was silent for a moment before saying calmly, “I’m leaving Athana. Natalie was not surprised by
this decision.
Natalie leaned against the fence with her hands in her pockets and said calmly, “That’s quite good.”
Natalie did not think she had anything to talk about with Mia, but it was already unprecedented that
they could speak to each other so calmly today. Natalie had come out with Mia because they were in
the hospital. Natalie did not want many people to know about her past, including her past relationship
with Trevon.
Natalie’s coldness was within Mia’s expectations. “Before I leave, I want to apologize to you and
explain myself. It might sound like a pointless explanation, but I still want to say that I didn’t manage to
come in between you and Mr. Wilson during your marriage. Mr. Wilson never paid attention to me. I’d

Natalie did not know what Mia wanted to say and did not say anything. Whether Mia succeeded did not
mean much to
Natalie now.
As Mia spoke, she did not care if Natalie was listening seriously or not. It was as if Mia wanted to pour
out everything in her heart. “Let me share with you what happened between Mr. Wilson and me.
Actually, I wasn’t Mr. Wilson’s girlfriend. He has never been with me at all. He didn’t even hold my
hand. He didn’t clarify it for Henry’s sake, At that time, I really liked Mr. Wilson. Who wouldn’t like the
rich and handsome descendant of the Wilson family? Who wouldn’t want to cling to him? Of course, I
was no exception. Women are all vain. You don’t know how popular the title of Mr. Wilson’s girlfriend is
in the
industry. At that time, Mr. Wilson hadn’t become the successor of the Wilson Group yet.
“You know that my surname isn’t actually Blackwell. I merely used a little trick to please Henry. I coaxed
him to accept me as his god-granddaughter and change my surname. Perhaps I was so used to being
the Blackwell family’s granddaughter that I forgot my surname for a while. I felt that I could establish
myself in Athana with that identity. I could wait for his love. 1 coaxed myself that he would turn around
and see me one day. Therefore, when I found out that you bought contraceptive pills that day, I was
filled with jealousy. It was because he slept with you. I waited for so many years, but he didn’t touch
me.
“I couldn’t accept it. I refused to concede defeat. You’re not the daughter of a wealthy family. What right
do you have to be loved by Mr. Wilson? Thus. I flaunted my pregnancy to you. Wasn’t that ridiculous?
I’d been waiting for him to look at me. Even if he didn’t smile, it was fine with me. In this love, not only
had I lost to you, but I’d also lost myself. Now my reputation has even been ruined by the man I’ve liked
for so many years. I deserved it, right? By the way, I lied to you about him returning the information to
me. I just wanted to provoke you. I seemed to have succeeded, but it also brought me consequences
that I can’t bear.”
Natalie thought that once someone was blinded by vanity and power, they would not come to their
senses easily. They would only regret their past actions when they were destroyed, but it would have
been too late by then.
Listening to Mia’s self-deprecation and explanation, Natalie finally lost her composure. However, she
did not know if it was
else. true or not. “Everyone thinks that they are beautiful and kind. They will not admit that they are
inferior to anyone They only see the ugly and vulgar side of others, but they can’t see other people’s
merits. Even if they do, they will choose to ignore them automatically. It’s not just you. This is normal
and common. A woman doesn’t have to be loved by a man. You treat me as an imaginary enemy.
Trevon doesn’t like me. Sooner or later, we would have divorced. You were merely a little impatient.”
Mia smiled. “It looks like you’re not that clear-sighted. At least, you don’t have a clear judgment of men.
You’ll know. Thank you for listening to my explanation today. I don’t expect to be forgiven by you, and I
don’t need you to help me persuade Mr. Wilson to let me off.”
Yes, Natalie did not choose to forgive Mia. Natalie was not a saint. She would not be moved and feel
pity for Mia just because of her explanation.
If everyone could be forgiven easily for their mistakes, there would not be any prisoners in prison.
