Did you get that money back?” Jaxon asked, remembering the details.

Mia shook her head. “Only part of it.”

‘And you’re just going to let it go?” Jaxon looked at her belly. “You’re about to have a baby. You’re going to need a

ot of money.”

‘Aunt May’s account is empty. She probably transferred it fearing she’d be caught. Those funds should stay with he children. Nina and I have enough saved for my delivery.”

No matter how she looked at it, Mia didn’t think Aunt May could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in such short time. She and Nina were convinced Aunt May had hidden the money to slowly provide for the orphanage.

You’re too soft-hearted,” Jaxon huffed. “With all those kids at the orphanage, I don’t believe you’ll ever have the heart to stop supporting them.”

Mia remained silent.

You’re a mom now. You should save more for yourself and the baby…”

axon truly didn’t understand Mia.

I grew up in an orphanage. Over the years, I’ve seen more death and separation than anything else,” Mia said almly, the light in her eyes dimming. “Most of the children there are sick. Even the healthy ones growing up in hat environment are at a much higher risk for psychological issues. You only live once. I want them to make it out of there. And for those children with sharp minds trapped in broken bodies… their lives are painful, yet they all rave to live…”

axon’s heart hammered against his ribs. It was as if a new door had opened to him. He used to think the world was nly divided into the rich and the poor. He had never considered the divide between the healthy and the sick.

The way you put it… my past extravagance makes me feel like I should be shot.”

Mia took a breath and continued applying the medicine. “You live in that world. Enjoying yourself isn’t a crime, >ut don’t waste. If you can help those children, do it. It could change their destiny.”

The iodine felt cool on Jaxon’s leg, with just a hint of a sting. He looked down at Mia’s careful movements. His heart skipped once, twice, then began to race.

Let’s fix the bruise on your face too.”

Mia grabbed a fresh swab, sat on the sofa, and applied medicine to the bruise under his eye.

axon noticed the fine, soft hair on her fair skin, her long, curled lashes, and her clear eyes. A faint scent of asmine clung to her.

You can wash your face. After that, apply the medicine yourself.”

Mia finished, tossed the swab in the trash, and put the iodine in a small bag for him. “Apply it twice a day. Do it yourself when you get home.”

Jaxon “oh-ed,” taking the bag and setting it on the coffee table. “Mia, tell me about your childhood.”

Mia glanced at him. “I’m pregnant. It’s the middle of the night. Can you please stop disturbing my rest?”

Jaxon checked the time. It was ten o’clock. “Are you tired?”

Mia: “…”
