Mute Girl The Series : Rose Thorns 21 020

Afterwards, Nurse Lilian left as she got other tasks to do. A few minutes later, a tall man came into her ward and Mia was surprised to see him. It was Noah O'Sullivan, the person that she had exchanged a deal. Seeing his stoic face, Mia suddenly recalled their planned appointment however she totally had forgotten about their promise. Waking up from the aftereffect of the surgery to her head, it seemed that her head had lost a screw after being hit. It must be the news in the newspaper that brought him to here. Finally, she benefitted something from this havoc as this provided her with the chance to ask about their deal.

"Let me be frank to you. Your adoption isn't a normal adoption and you may not be able to find out who is your biological family in this lifetime. The cost that I need to incur to help you find them is much more than what you can offer to me. So, I'm here to modify our agreement. You work for me then I a.s.sure you, you'll receive the news about your real parents before the election ends."

As soon as he came into the ward, he didn't dwell any longer. He made his intention very clear as he spoke in a firm tone and showed her his expressionless face, unlike the character he was in just now during the ride to the hospital. He appeared cold and even his words were sharp and concise like a fine knife, piercing through the heart of anyone who listened to his words in this manner.

Mia looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to respond. She guessed Noah must be mad at her since she had stood him up last time. Great! She just made one more enemy. Currently, her mind was a bit blurred and she took time to load her thoughts.

"What do you mean?"

"Here, you can read these to understand what I'm saying." Noah put a thin brown file on the table next to the bed. It was the summary of what he had gathered so far about the adoption case. Obviously, he opted out some of the very confidential info but the remaining info was not falsified and it was enough to influence the mind of a desperate person. It was unethically wrong for him to take advantage of Mia's desperation to find out her real family but that was how this world work. Powerful people would make use of weak people's vulnerable to control them. He preferred a straightforward approach rather than pretending to sympathise on them as the facade to cover up the bluffing made using sweet and comforting words.

Mia took the envelope and pulled out several pages of sheets out it. Her eyes quickly scanned the words written on them and her brain started to process this info one by one.

"I believe you're aware of O'Ryan's true colours. I don't need to spell it out for you. Just think, with their power, do you think your foster parents' death just a pure accident? Of course, if you don't wish to be in debt to me, you have another alternative. There are people from Aurora request to meet you. They're now waiting outside. As you know, Aurora had been targeting your former father in law and they come to you to help you. But do you think an established and respectable organisation like that is willing to save you when you're in a very deep pit? They do things ethically as they fight for the same course but do you think O'Ryan will reciprocate in this battle the same manner? Take your time to decide. The choice is yours..."

After finishing everything that he wanted to say, Noah walked out from the ward, leaving Mia in a dilemma.

Mia felt overwhelmed by these inputs. She knew that O'Ryan family was a manipulative people. Perhaps, the word 'integrity and honesty' couldn't be put next to O'Ryan name. She knew there was something off when her adopted parents married her off to a family that was way above their social status. How could O'Ryan's t.i.tle suit her name? Finally, she came to realise that her marriage was a mere transaction between these two families. Mom and dad had sold her off to them for 4 million dollars! Was this amount represents her value in the eyes of mom and dad?

Noah gave her the transaction record of her foster parents' banking account three years ago. On the day she was married to Damien, there was a transfer of 2 million dollars in each account that she wasn't aware of from the account of the former servant that once worked in Mansion O'Ryan. That servant was then accused of stealing and forced to quit two years ago, a couple of days before the accident that took away Lucy and Charlie's life. But the stealing case didn't go through the police investigation and purely concluded by Madam O'Ryan herself. This case was prohibited to mention again in or outside the mansion.

Mia thought that it was because Madam O'Ryan hated to hear people gossiping about the family but in the first place, how this poor servant could afford to have these large amounts unless someone with a lot of money gave them to her. Was this stealing incident pre-arranged to falsify the motive and make the servant the scapegoat in case the secret was exposed? Or the 4 million dollars purely a wedding gift given by O'Ryan to her adopted parents? But why there was not from the O'Ryan directly? For what purpose these 4 million dollars for?

Among the doc.u.ments, Noah didn't forget to include the result that he got during the initial investigation where there a witness saying that she was adopted from one of the orphanages in South West Land, however, her baby picture wasn't matched in any registration records there. What the h.e.l.l was going on? Did her adopted parents just pick her up from the streets?

Without her realising, there were tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. Her vision was getting blurry and the headache had gotten worse.
