Chapter 24: "Grandpa this is my senior, Ruth Xu.",

James and Old Chen entered the room to see that Lucas was waiting for them on the sofa.

Both entered the room and sat as they stared at Lucas as if they are going to kill them.

"I understand your stares but situation is under control and she is fine.", Lucas spoke as he sipped his green tea.

"You said the reason you were sending her away was because of her safety. Lucas Chen I don't think after what happened today your words carry any meaning. Stop the childish games and bring her back to home.", James spoke as he stared at his son.

"Dad do you know what I hate most at the moment...?", Lucas spoke as he stared into James eyes.

"Lucas, Olivia is your sister and you know how important it is to protect her...and I promised my dead wife and your mother. Although I can give up on my life for Mia...I don't have an option to give up Mia when Olivia and Mia are my options to choose.", Old Chen spoke as his heart started to tear his conscious into pieces. He hated that he was helpless and useless.

"Grandpa, Dad...you guys are same. Although you like Mia, you ignore her pains and scars...because you turn a blind eye. Olivia is only thing you guys see and believe. So, Grandpa when was the only person I could believe in and Alex was the only way to do it. Alex have already found the culprit and managed the case. He appointed a shadow guard to her, so please don't interfere in this issue. I will bring Mia home once she get better.", Lucas spoke as he stood up and walked towards his desk.

"Lucas did we become so distant from her that we can't even go and visit her? She is also a daughter to me.", James spoke as he stared at his son who sat on his seat.

"Dad...you are wrong, You like Mia because she looks like your Mom. But when issue comes between your daughter and my sister you choose your daughter.", Lucas spoke as his turned his eyes towards that monitor.

"Chairman, Master James...this side.", Tony spoke as he opened the door.

Old Wen and James stood up and walked away.

Hospital.

"Grandpa I'm really fine...it's been an hour please take some rest.", Mia spoke as she saw Old Wen not leaving her sight and sitting on the chair beside her.

"Little one Grandpa is wrong. I'm sorry that you have to experience the same thing again. We were careless.", Old Wen knew how much she suffered back then. He also knew how many days she kneeled Infront of Gina's tomb as she sobbed for forgiveness.

"Grandpa...that was long time ago. It's been 4 years, I'm really okay.", She smiled innocently.

"You only act brave. All you know is to speak.", A voice came from the door as Mia involuntarily shifted her eyes at the figure.

A woman walked in as her short her made her look more handsome than beautiful.

"Senior.", Mia smiled as she stared at her.

"Hello, Grandpa Wen.", Ruth Xu greeted as she saw Old Wen there.

"Grandpa this is my senior, Ruth Xu.", Mia smiled as she introduced her.

"Old Xu always speaks about you. It's good that Mia has a good senior by her side.", Old Wen spoke as he patted Mia's hand.

"Uncle Wen...What are you doing here...?", Gary spoke as he entered Mia's room.

"I'm checking on her.", Old Wen spoke.

"I'm her professor and teacher, she has people. You have a body checkup today...you have to attend it.", Gary Lee spoke as he stared at Old Wen.

"I will go in a while.", Old Wen ignored him and stayed sticked to Mia.

Mathis and Elena sighed as they stared at the clingy old Man.

"Master you have to get the check up. It's just an hour period. Why don't I accompany Ms.Mia and you go and do the test with Mathis?", Elena spoke as she tried to convince Old Wen.

"No.", A short and crisp answer left out of Old Wen's mouth.

Seeing that Mathis and Elena signaled Mia to try.

"Grandpa...please for sake of me.", Mia spoke as she felt that it was impossible for him to hear her suggestion. Old Wen became silent as Mia felt a bit tensed

"Alright...but take some rest. I'll be back soon.", Old Wen spoke as he patted her hand and walked out with Mathis.

"Ms.Mia...Old Master can't say no to you.", Elena smiled as she saw the both men walk out o the door.

"Alright...I will leave with them.", Gary spoke as he walked out with a smile.

"Let me change your liquid", Ruth spoke as she walked towards Mia.

"Senior...I feel that you are still mad at me.", Mia spoke when she saw Ruth avoiding her gaze.

"And what do you think the reason is...?", Ruth spoke as she still avoided the matter.

"I'm sorry...I was wrong to roam out at night.", Mia spoke as she lowered her head.

Ruth couldn't be any longer angry at the pitiful figure as she placed her hand on Mia's head and raised it to stare at her.

"Mia...To bring you out yourself from that incident when you were 18 was not easy. Later after all the tries...we came with the choice that you were an ugly makeup on, so that you don't feel insecure...Mia...I just hope I will not see the Mia I saw 4 years ago.", Ruth spoke as she pinched Mia's nose.

"Arghhh...", Mia pouted with a cute shout.

"Alright sleep. I will come back after rounds.", Ruth walked out.

"Ms.Mia she seems pretty nice.", Elena spoke as she stared at Ruth who walked out.

"She is.", Mia smiled.

Military base.

"You are acting weird...the Captain of Rogers...Second Brother when I begged you for a member of Rogers you never even cared.", Luke Mo spoke as he couldn't believe the situation.

"Luke shut up...you alone is enough for your enemy to get brain dead. Why would you need one bodyguard? Beside isn't Zen there with you?", Simon spoke as he stared at his brother.

"Brother the main point is...Blackey is asked to protect Second Sis-in-law...don't you find love in air?", Luke spoke as his lips turned into an evil smile.

"Brother the team without captain is indeed worrying but Kp has taken over the place.", Alex spoke as he ignore Luke's tease. Kp is the head chief of the base so they were not worried about the Rogers team.

"Hmm, Not a worry. Did Lucas make a scene?", Simon spoke as he saw Alex.

"No.", Alex spoke as he went into a deep thought. Simon knew his brother was thinking of something so he didn't ask any further.
