Chapter 384
Mia cleared her throat awkwardly. “I called Claude before heading out this morning, but a woman
picked up instead. My call caused Claude’s break up last time so I didn’t want to disturb him again.”
Connor fell silent. He was secretly fuming, wanting nothing more than to beat the living shit out of
Claude. That jerk was always so unreliable!
“One more thing, Connor. I don’t want to use my current Identity anymore.” Mia’s expression turned
serious. “I want to start fresh in Nord City.”
She didn’t want Timothy to track her down. She had to protect her child.
Connor nodded. “Okay, give me some time. You look tired. You should get some rest once we get
home.”
“I don’t want to go home!” Mia’s protest was quick, her unease palpable. “Connor, my mind’s al mess
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtright now, and I want to gather my thoughts at a quiet place. Tell Aunt Patricia that I’ll be busy the next
few days and will be staying in the school dorm. I don’t want her worrying.”
She couldn’t risk going home. That asshole Timothy would surely find her there. She would be walking
right into a trap if she went home.
Connor sighed. “I have a place near the hospital. I usually crash there when things get hectic. You can
stay there.”
“Okay.” Mia finally relaxed and soon drifted off to sleep.
Connor parked the car in the apartment garage. Seeing Mia asleep, he couldn’t bring himself to
wake her.
Noticing the bandages on Mia’s hands and feet, Connor knew she must have been in a lot of pain from
the fall.
Connor got out of the car alone and pulled out his phone. He called Claude and the latter soon.
answered, “What’s up. Connor?”
Connor let out a string of curses. “Didn’t you promise to pick Mia up and drop her off at school. every
day? Where the fuck were you when Mia got hurt and bullied?”
Claude sobered up instantly and scrambled out of bed. “Connor, what happened to Mia? I drank too
much last night and only just woke up. What happened to her?”
“Claude Lane, it’s one thing to be an unreliable kid. But I entrusted Mia to you, and this is how you

answered your phone! Were you sleeping the whole time? Is some woman more important than
Mia?”
Connor was on the verge of losing it. He finally found his sister and was hellbent on keeping her
safe.
But Claude overslept at the worst possible moment! Connor wished he could twist that brat’s neck!

“She’s in the apartment where I live. Get over here and apologize. If Dominic finds out, you’ll never see
Mia again,” Connor hissed.
“Don’t, Connor. I know I messed up. I’ll be right over.” Claude apologized quickly.
After hanging up, Claude hurriedly changed clothes. A woman hugged him from behind. “Honey. are
you leaving already?”
Claude grabbed the woman’s wrist and said in an icy tone. “Did you answer my phone?”
The woman looked guilty. “I don’t remember. I was half asleep.”
Claude pushed the woman away. Remorse was eating at him right now!
If Mia could forgive him this time, he would turn over a new leaf and stop being a partying playboy
every day.
Meanwhile, after giving Claude a piece of his mind, Connor carried the sleeping Mia upstairs.
Just as he gently set her down, he noticed her phone was ringing with the caller ID showing-‘
Scumbag‘.
