That afternoon, the two took Toby out for a stroll and didn’t return until just before dinner.
At the dinner table, Mia, having held it in all afternoon, finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you doing something >ehind my back?”
The moment the words left her mouth, Nina’s hand gave a violent tremor. Her chopsticks slipped, clattering oudly against her bowl.
Tell me. What exactly did you do?”
Mia crossed her arms, her expression growing solemn. She wasn’t someone who could hide things.
She still hadn’t figured out how to tell Nina about Aunt May. If Nina found out Carly wasn’t actually sick, she’d >robably grab a knife and head to the Orphanage to “slaughter” Aunt May.
Jsually, whenever Mia tried to hide something, Nina could see right through her. But today, Nina hadn’t noticed a hing. She hadn’t even brought up Carly’s illness or the medical fees.
ntuition told Mia that Nina was acting even stranger than she was.
I… what could I possibly be hiding from you?” Nina insisted, her face practically buried in her rice bowl.
Mia’s brow knit. “Spit it out. Does this have to do with Carly’s illness? Did you find something out too?”
I just wanted to say, don’t worry about Carly’s medical bills. I have the money. You keep your savings for the
aby.”
Nina put down her chopsticks and confessed. But she hadn’t told the whole truth yet.
Where did you get that kind of money?” Mia asked.
She knew Nina’s savings like the back of her hand, down to the last cent. $200,000 was twice what Nina had in
er account.
I borrowed it.”
Nina hesitated for a long time before choking out those three words.
Something clicked in Mia’s mind. “Don’t tell me you borrowed it from that high-roller fan from last night?”
.” Nina snapped her head up to look at her.
The shock in her eyes said it all: ‘How did you know?*
Mia’s frown deepened. “You borrowed money from a fan? If that gets out, your reputation is finished!”
The guy is actually really nice! Northerners are straightforward. I told him about Carly being sick, and he understood I was at the end of my rope!”
Nina knew it wasn’t a good move. But she didn’t want Mia to be stressed, and she couldn’t just stand by and let Carly die.
“Have you already sent the money to Aunt May?”

Mia reached for her phone, intending to call Aunt May immediately.
Nina pressed her hand down, stopping her. “I sent the money last night.”

Last night, after her stream, she had borrowed the money and wired it to Aunt May instantly. She had even told Aunt May not to ask Mia for any more money and to tell Mia that she had raised the funds herself.
The result-
Mia felt a wave of dizziness. She leaned back against her chair, trying to steady herself. Nina had sent the money last night, yet Aunt May was still hounding Mia for cash this morning!
“It’s okay. Give me two more months and I’ll pay it back. You have some savings left; keep them for the baby. I can just earn more later…”
Seeing Mia’s pale face, Nina walked over and rubbed her back. “Really, don’t worry. That guy is a good person.”
‘Go back and get that money back right now,” Mia said, her voice full of weary frustration. “Carly isn’t sick at all. Aunt May scammed us. She’s afraid that once we leave, we won’t care about the Orphanage anymore.”
Nina froze for a few seconds. Her eyes widened, then narrowed, then widened again. Suddenly, she screamed, ‘Holy shit!”
‘I gave her three days to return all the money and get Carly back in school, or I’m calling the police,” Mia explained. ‘Carly’s illness was a total lie. The reason you used to borrow that money is fake. If this ever gets exposed, you’re done! Go get the money back and pay him back immediately!”
