It's within Miya's expectation that he will have such a strong reaction. Without taking it to heart, she continues, "Actually, I am fine now. Let me go find him. This time, I just want to confirm something. As soon as the matter is over, I will come back to you."
Anson is determined to reject any of her requests, but after hearing she say that she will come back to him, he is a little swayed. He will be overjoyed if Miya comes to find him later.
Seeing that Anson is tempted by her offer, Miya continues, "This matter is not as serious as you think. After experiencing so many difficulties, I've become more positive and mentally-strong. I know John said something harsh to me, and I even fainted because I couldn't accept what he said. But after having a sleep, I feel it's not a big deal at all. That's why I can tell you these things so calmly now."
Judging from Miya's calm look, he can tell she isn't lying. She seems to have a point, but he is still a little worried.
"What do you want to confirm? Tell me, and I'll send someone to investigate it immediately," Anson says with determination while patting his chest.
Shaking her head, Miya makes a gesture to refuse him. "Let me handle this myself."
Because there's something she has to investigate herself.
After a while, Miya says half-jokingly, "I know that you've been taking care of me recently. I will by no means commit suicide. After all, you saved my life. Even if I want to take my own life, I need to ask for your permission first." Her words enliven the atmosphere in an instant.
"But what if something happens to you in the orphanage? And..." He has already fallen out with his father when he forcibly brings her out of the Comte's. Therefore, he is more worried that his father will make things difficult for her. Having so many concerns, Anson even wishes that he can be with Miya wherever she goes, so that he can protect her at all times.
"Just let me stay there for only one week, okay? That's all I ask of you." Miya can only try to make compromises now. That's because if she hurries away from the orphanage like this, she will be engulfed with regrets.
Anson falls silent.
Miya says, "As long as you give me one week, I will return to you later."
She can only make such a promise now. Otherwise, there is no way she can escape from him.
"Return to my side?"
Anson repeats this sentence in disbelief.
The implication is that Miya is willing to stay with him in a week's time. This is a great temptation for him, for it's something he has always dreamed of.
Miya gives him a nod of reassurance and says, "I really mean it this time."
Since she has made such a tempting promise, Anson has no reason to refuse. He is sure that Miya can't change anything even if she stays in the orphanage for a whole week. If this can make her stay by his side forever, he will agree to her suggestion without hesitation.
