Chapter 808: VISITING KIA
"Can we talk alone inside for a minute?" The nurse suggested that Mika wait outside, as this conversation was not suitable for young children. "How about you stay with me for a while and your father will talk to the doctor?"
Mika shook her head, she pressed herself close to Misha and held his hand tightly.
"No," she answered straightforwardly and tried to avoid the hand the nurse stretched out to grab her. Mika shook off her hand and scrunched up her face in distaste. She then raised both hands toward Misha, asking to be picked up.
Seeing the expectant gaze of his little princess, of course Misha couldn't ignore her and picked up Mika, there after which she immediately wrapped her arms around Misha's neck and didn't let go at all.
"It's fine if I bring her inside, right?" asked Misha. It was advisable for him to see the doctor himself, but Mika still didn't understand the situation well and she was too young to do so, therefore, the nurse allowed it.
After all, in this situation, if Misha didn't bring Mika along with him, this little girl would cry and it would be troublesome later to calm her down.
With that, the three of them entered the doctor's office.
Misha didn't know what he would face here, but he prepared himself that this was a bad thing.
"So what happened to her?" asked Misha straight to the point after the introductions and pleasantries the two of them exchanged.
The doctor was a female doctor who looked to be in her late fifties with hair that had turned all white. She smiled sweetly at Misha and greeted Mika kindly, but that alone couldn't hide that she had serious matters to discuss.
=========================
"Mom?" Daniel called his mother. He could hear his mother's sobs from outside her room and as soon as he spoke, the crying stopped immediately and Amber pretended to sleep again. "I'll go inside," said Daniel, regardless of the absence of an answer from his mother.
And when he stepped inside, the room was very dark, with no light at all. It even felt very suffocating.
Not only that, the atmosphere was also very depressing.
Luckily, right now Alia was watching a movie with their father, so Daniel could talk to his mother quite freely.
"What happened, mom?" asked Daniel while sitting beside Amber's bed and stroking his mother's head. She was lying with her back to him, but from her shaking shoulders, Daniel knew that his mother was crying right now.
She was trying to contain her sadness.
"Tell me, what makes you this sad?" he asked again, more gently. He then took a deep breath and said the name. "Is it because of Kia?"
And at the mention of that name, Amber's cries became even clearer. She even choked a few times and this made Daniel feel sad as well, soon after which he hugged his mother's body tightly.
"Tell me what I can do to make you stop crying like this?" asked Daniel very gently. He could feel his chest being pierced with thousands of needles.
"I want Kia, I want to see her, I want her to come home…" Amber sobbed. She could no longer contain the sadness she felt.
The thought of the small room where Kia lived with her granddaughter and also how she lived alone to support herself and a baby, without anyone's help, made her heart ache very much.
How could she let this happen? How could she be so indifferent to the predicament her daughter had been in all this time? And turn a blind eye to that? What kind of mother had she been?
"Daniel, bring Kia home, please... I want her to come home... why isn't she home?" Amber started crying. She couldn't think straight now.
And on the other hand, Daniel didn't know what to say to calm his mother down.
"Mom, she will go home, later after she has calmed down, she will definitely come home. After all, we are her family, where else would she go?" Daniel hugged his mother's body, which felt very thin, tightly and tried to calm her down. He said whatever he had to say to make his mother stop crying.
Only, Amber did not stop crying. She missed Kia and this was the first time she let her feelings known, because during these four years, she just kept everything inside, because no one talked about their second daughter, but that didn't mean she forgot about Kia.
"She doesn't want to come back, she won't come back. It's been four years and she hasn't come back, what should we do?" Amber cried bitterly when she said this.
And indeed the fact was like that.
"I will definitely make it happen, I will ask for her to come back. I will apologize to her. She will definitely forgive us," said Daniel. "Calm down mother..."
"Kia doesn't live in her apartment anymore, she doesn't live there anymore," said Amber. She hadn't told this to anyone except Lyle.
"What?" Daniel frowned.
"She doesn't live there anymore…" and Amber then told Daniel that Kia had moved and no longer lived in the apartment and her roommate named Keira didn't want to tell her where she had moved to. "How are we going to find her?"
"I will find her mom, I will ask Mr. Tordoff, he must know where Kia lives now, after all, the two of them are in a relationship, right? He must know about it."
It was only after hearing the solution that Amber realized what she had forgotten. She forgot the fact that Daniel could ask his boss.
"Right, you should ask Mr. Tordoff," Amber said, she then raised her head and looked at Daniel hopefully. "You should ask about Kia to Mr. Tordoff, he must know something. Ask him for help to coax her home."
The last thing was impossible for Daniel to do, considering their last conversation, it seemed Mr. Tordoff wasn't going to help anything by asking Kia to come home, but right now Daniel couldn't say that. So, he just agreed with what his mother said.
"Of course, I will ask Mr. Tordoff."
"Right, Kia will definitely listen to what he has to say," said Amber, this time looking a little more cheerful at the possibility.
=======================
The doctor who was attending Kia said that she had gone to the roof of the building, but luckily a nurse found her and when asked, she said that she just wanted to enjoy the view.
But, of course this alarmed them and the dosage of drugs given to Kia was increased.
The doctor couldn't say more clearly because Mika was there and she asked Misha to come back later by himself, for now, he could see Kia together with Mika, because Kia really missed her daughter.
After that, they talked about other things, while Dr. Diane led them to the room where Kia was staying.
It was a beautiful room, but there was no balcony there, only a big glass window that led to a very beautiful view of the side garden, where the flowers were blooming and it looked very pretty.
"Mama!" Mika couldn't stay still and immediately ran toward Kia who was just about to leave her room. They should have met in the waiting room, but because Mika was impatient, with the doctor's permission, they were allowed to come directly to Kia's room.
Of course, seeing her little daughter whom she had not seen for a week made Kia very happy. She immediately squatted down and hugged Mika tightly.
Seeing this scene, Misha kept his distance, giving enough time and space for the mother and child to let each other go.
"Mama, Mika misses mom..." Mika said while crying, hugging her mother very tightly and not letting go.
"Of course, mom misses you too. I love you, my angel…" Kia kissed Mika's cheek and then released herself. "Okay, let mama see your face," said Kia, looking at Mika's face.
Her little girl looked much better, she was noticeably chubby and happier.
Kia shouldn't have to worry about this, she should have known that Mika would be guaranteed, whatever needs she needed, as Misha would swiftly give it to her, therefore, she shouldn't have to worry.
But, of course, something was still amiss.
No matter what Misha gave Mika, she would always look for Kia.
"You're not naughty, are you? Mika has become a good child, right, even though mom isn't around?" asked Kia while wiping her tears and also Mika's tears.
"Mika is being a good child, Mika eats regularly and Mika also drinks milk... at uncle's house, there is a very large swimming pool and also a very large back garden, uncle also said that he would buy Mika a rabbit. A family of three rabbits, mama, papa and also the baby…"
And after that, Mika told everything that had happened during that one week and also announced the arrival of her grandparents.
During the discussion, Misha was worried that Kia would feel uncomfortable, but she just listened carefully to Mika's story.
"I didn't mean to tell this to my parents, but on Mika's first day there, my mother came unannounced and found out about this," Misha said, explaining this so Kia wouldn't misunderstand.
For a moment Kia stared at him and smiled gently. "You don't need to explain this, I'm very happy, because Mika feels that she has grandparents who love her."
She couldn't expect that from her own parents, therefore, when she found out that Misha's parents treated Mika really well, she felt relieved.
