Mia recalled Leo's words, saying, "Leo was worried that if something happened to me, you would kill him, so he let me out of the car."
"Well, he won't have to die today then."
Mia relayed Andre's words to Leo exactly. At that moment, Leo broke out in a cold sweat, "Gosh, this man is really formidable. How could he know about this when he's not even here?"
Mia was also very curious, "Yeah, how did he know? It's not like he could have just guessed it, right?"
Soon after, the Cedillo family's doctor arrived.
Pointing at the two kids on the couch, Hansen said, "They're the ones who crashed the car. Check them out, especially the girl. She's Andre's wife. If anything happens to her, we'll all pay when Andre comes back."
The doctor glanced at Mia, who also glanced back. She felt somewhat uneasy.
After the check-up, the doctor confirmed that they were both fine, only then did the Cedillo family breathe a sigh of relief.
This incident had given them a good scare. From then on, Mia's movements were even more restricted in the family.
"I'm going to school in Leo's car."
The next day, after breakfast, Mia was changing her shoes at the door with her backpack. Hansen hobbled over with his walking stick.
"Hold on! Let the family driver take you to school today."
Mia and Leo exchanged glances. "No need. Leo's driving skills are top-notch."
Leo nodded in agreement.
Hansen shook his head. He was adamant about not letting the two kids drive.
"No way, I don't trust you two behind the wheel. Just wait a bit. The driver is on his way."
Mia and Leo were both resistant. Leo even grabbed the car keys, planning to sneak off.
"Leo, stop right there!" Hansen shouted.
Leo obediently stood in place. He turned around, pleading with Hansen, "Grandpa, yesterday was an accident. It won't happen again today, so don't be so nervous. I can't not drive forever."
However, Leo was his only grandson. Hansen didn't dare to take the risk.
Soon after, Bruce appeared, "Leo, Mia, come with me. I'm passing by the school anyway."
"That works. As long as they're not driving."
So, Mia got to ride in Bruce's chauffeured car to school for the first time.
Right at the school entrance, Jade Byrne and Chad Byrne were talking. Based on years of deep friendship, Leo concluded, "Jade must have had another fight with her brother."
Mia agreed with his assessment, "Looks like Jade has pissed off Chad again."
"Who are you guys talking about?" Bruce asked.
Mia pointed at the girl in a purple sweater and white long dress at the school entrance, "Her."
Bruce followed her gaze. He saw Jade's face and smiled. "Is this the Jade that you and Leo often mention at home?"
Leo said, "Yes. Her dad is your colleague."
Bruce kept staring at the beautiful girl. He asked, "She looks quite adorable, just like Mia. How old is she?"
