Chapter 809: SHE IS GETTING BETTER
Kia stared at Mika's sleeping face. Her Little daughter chattered all afternoon until she was tired and fell asleep in Kia's room.
The little girl brought her chocolates as well as a picture she drew herself, where it showed her and Mika, just the two of them. Misha wasn't there.
And now, the childish picture was displayed on the wall of Kia's room, while the artist was fast asleep.
"I think it's time for me to go home," Misha said while looking at Mika's sleeping face, he then looked at Kia with soulful eyes. "How do you feel now? Are you feeling much better?" he asked as he approached Kia. He stroked the woman's head gently.
"I am fine," Kia said. She didn't take her eyes off Mika, as if she wanted to engrave this incident in her mind.
On the other hand, Misha wanted to ask why she went to the roof of the building at night, but he couldn't bring himself to bring up the topic, thus, all he could do was remind her.
"When you find it really difficult and you are about to give up, please remember that Mika needs you. Hold on to see her grow up and achieve her goals," Misha said while sitting in front of Kia, on the bed. "She said she wanted to be a doctor."
"She told me she wanted to be a race car driver," Kia said with a smile, looking at her daughter with affection. "She has now changed her goal again?"
"I think a doctor who is also a racer is pretty cool," replied Misha which made the smile on Kia's lips grow even wider and this spread warmth to his heart as well. "Don't be so hard on yourself. Remember that there are people, who love you, waiting for you."
"Yeah, I think she will change her dream again later." Kia chuckled which made Misha feel a bit calmer. She was looking pretty good at the moment and he just hoped his woman would get better soon.
"If you like high altitude places, invite me too to go to that place, because I also like heights. Don't go and enjoy the beauty of that view alone," Misha said softly.
Kia understood that Misha must have heard what had happened, but the two of them did not discuss it openly, there was only a tacit understanding between the two right now.
"Take me and don't go alone, okay?" Misha looked at Kia's face deeply. He then reached out his hand to touch Kia's face.
Misha looked doubtful for a moment, but when Kia remained silent, he caressed her face gently and then pulled her body into his arms.
"You understand? Don't go alone and bring me along…" Misha whispered into Kia's ear, to which she nodded gently. Her allowing Misha to hug her like this was a good sign already. "I'm sorry because I made you suffer like this and also thank you because you have survived and fought until now."
Kia didn't know what kind of emotion had ambushed her now, but she felt her chest feel very tight as she couldn't hold back the urge to cry.
She wrapped her arms around Misha's body and then buried her face in the man's chest, as tears started flowing from her eyes.
Her chest was so tight while the tears were uncontrollable, but Misha didn't say anything and let her cry on his chest.
Kia had never heard of anyone thanking her because she had fought and survived, so Misha didn't have any idea at all how these simple words could touch the deepest parts of Kia's heart.
The words 'thank you' were very simple, but for Kia, whose efforts were not recognized by her family and who didn't even get the appreciation she deserved, those simple words were very important to her.
"Thank you, Kia. Thank you for giving birth to Mika and fighting for our child." Misha hugged Kia's body even tighter and let her cry to her heart's content. Her thin and frail body trembled in his arms. "But, now let me fight for you two and you need to focus more on yourself. Everything will be fine."
Kia nodded when she heard those words.
Everything will be fine…
She wished that was the end she would get, that everything would be fine and nothing would happen to her.
Misha then kissed the top of Kia's head gently.
==========================
"Let me carry her to bed," said Lexus when he saw Misha walking into the house with Mika who had fallen asleep in his arms.
Misha frowned as his father had snatched the girl from his arms before he even finished his first sentence.
And carefully, Lexus carried Mika, while Misha didn't resist because he didn't want his little daughter to wake up and start looking for her mother again.
"How was your meeting?" asked Candice worriedly when she saw Lexus take Mika to her room.
Lexus had been very anxious because Misha couldn't be contacted all day and Richard only said that the three of them were together.
"Fine, things are going well," Misha replied calmly.
"Then, what about Kia? Is she okay?" Candice asked cautiously.
"Yeah, she is fine I think," Misha said, sounding uncertain. "If her condition improves during this month, then she will be allowed to go home, but of course she will still be under observation and required to get counseling once a week."
Candice breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and smiled happily.
"I hope you can reunite soon and become a complete family. Mika will be so happy."
Misha couldn't answer those expectations, but he certainly hoped for the same. He hoped that everything would go well and that Kia would no longer be in pain.
After the first visit, Mika seemed to get better and she started to settle in at the Tordoff residence. She quickly became a favorite of the residents of the residence because she was so friendly and smart.
"Come here, Mika," Misha said one afternoon when Mika was playing with the three babysitters who looked after her.
Mika stopped playing with her doll and then looked at Misha questioningly. But, in the end, she stood up and took the hand that was outstretched toward her.
"Where are we going?" Mika asked while raising both her hands, asking Misha to carry her.
She was not spoiled and always asked to be held, she only did this with people she was comfortable with.
"Where are we going?" asked Mika while wrapping her arms around Misha's neck, for some reason this little thing made him feel very happy, even though it wasn't really a big deal.
"I have a little surprise for you," Misha said as he walked her down the corridor and into the back garden. "I promised this to you, didn't I?"
Misha then put Mika down in a small yard that was fenced with not too high logs, which, in height, only reached Misha's waist. Inside there were white houses that looked very tiny.
Inside this fenced area the grass looked very comfortable. It seemed to be trimmed well.
Mika tilted her head and looked at Misha questioningly, why was she in a fenced off area like this.
And that was when from inside the little white house, three rabbits skipped out, one of which was much smaller than the other two, the color of the rabbits were white and brown, while the smallest one was mottled.
"Wow!!!" Mika looked hysterical when she saw the bunnies and started running toward them, to which they tilted their heads and raised their long ears. They were not afraid when Mika came closer and started stroking the tiny creature's backs. "They are so beautiful!" she exclaimed happily.
"You like them?" Misha asked with a smile on his lips. Since Mika was here, Misha smiled a lot more. He also seemed more approachable and less scary.
"I love them!" Mika answered excitedly. "Thank you, Uncle!"
ugh.
Misha would be very happy if only Mika would just say thank you, without calling him uncle.
"What are you going to name the rabbits?" asked Richard who suddenly came to report to Misha. He looked happy to see the little girl laughing while stroking her new rabbits.
On the other hand, hearing Richard's question, Mika's ears perked up. She looked happy that he asked that, which earned the poor man a glare from a certain boss beside him.
"I'm going to name this one White, Brown and Kitty."
"Kitty? But, it's a rabbit, not a cat," said Richard confusedly, but Mika just shook her head while answering innocently.
"But, I want to name her Kitty."
And so the little bunny got the name Kitty, because that was what Mika wanted.
The next weekend came and Kia looked a lot better. She looked a lot easier to interact with and laughed a lot more. She even kissed Misha on the cheek when he was going home, ending the day's visit, after she kissed Mika on the cheek.
And of course that was a good sign, which meant that Kia had been going through the process of healing herself properly.
After that day, everything went on as if nothing could interfere, until Misha got a request to meet from Daniel, for which he went to the main office to meet Misha in person, even though he had actually been assigned to be in charge of one of the subsidiary companies.
