Her heart jumped when she saw James’ face, she looked greedily a few more times. Let her remember this face for the rest of her life, the face she adores, admires and devotes herself as a woman...
The operation was very successful, Mia quietly walked out of the hospital after taking a short rest.
Penniless, she dialed Brooke’s phone.
Brooke arrived within half an hour, she hugged her and unavoidably started crying again. Brooke’s parents weren’t there. After living in her house for two days, Mia’s mood gradually cleared up, and a smile appeared on her face.
Brooke signed with relief and walked in from the balcony holding the phone.
“Who's calling? It's been so long,” Mia asked unintentionally. The paleness on her face wasn’t gone, but she looked quite refreshed anyway.
Brooke didn't answer right away, but after thinking for a while, she said, “No one, a friend.” She blinked and looked at Mia up and down before carefully saying, “Mia, we are good friends. I hope you can really get out of this.”
With a soft look at her, Mia pouted her lips and tried to make herself smile more naturally, “Of course, life is going on. Since I survived, I should also cherish my own life.”
“It's great!” Brooke clapped exaggeratedly, raised her eyebrows, “For your new life, I specially booked a banquet at Riverside Hotel, you must go!”
“Riverside Hotel?” Mia touched Brooke’s forehead again, “Are you crazy? That's a four-star hotel. One meal there will cost your one month's salary. No, no, if you want to go, let’s choose something cheaper.”
Brooke took off Mia’s hand, held it in her palm, and suddenly puffed her nose and said, “Mia, to be honest, as long as you can get out of the shadows, it will be worth two months or even one year's salary!”
This is a friend! Mia was so touched that she could meet such a friend, and she hugged Brooke tightly, “Brooke, don't worry, I will work hard to get out!”
"Well, then go with me,” Brooke was quite insistent. “And the person who is treating us today is a mysterious person. We just have to eat.”
“Who?” she asked without intention, Brooke just refused to answer. She pushed her into the bathroom, “Take a shower and dress beautifully.”
Unable to resist,
Mia took a shower in her house. Brooke didn’t know where but got a set of sky-blue skirts and put them in front of her, saying, “I know you like this color, how about it? This on your figure will be enough to drive people crazy.”
Mia smiled gratefully, and pushed back, “I’ll just wear my own clothes, I don't want this.” These days, she has bothered her too much, how could she accept her gift again.
Brooke’s face sneered, “No way, the clothes have been bought, and they can't be returned. I can't wear them without you. Should we throw them away?”
“Don't throw them away, I'll wear them!” Mia grabbed the clothes with the face unwilling to give them up, and quickly put everything on.
Riverside Hotel.
Gorgeous and noble tall buildings all reflected luxury, and the people who entered and left were rich, and there was an endless stream of cars and BMWs.
Mia pulled Brooke’s clothes, doing the last struggle, “Let's change the place.”
"You worry about what, let’s go!” Brooke dragged her towards the hotel door.
On the second floor, the high walls were clean and well-fitted, and they are very stylish. The melodious violin sounded across the air and fall into Mia’s heart. Although she didn’t know the name of this melody, she still liked it, it was clean and light.
The corners of the pink lips opened, and finally there was a real smile from the heart during all these days.
However, the smile lasted only a few seconds. When he saw a man standing by the window and beckoning to them, Mia’s small face twisted in embarrassment. Pulling Brooke as she didn’t come forward, “How could it be him?”
It should have been long ago that Brooke knew no one else but him could afford to be a guest here. Collin Hart, their classmate, the guy who has been chasing her for three years.
Mia turned around to leave, but Brooke pinched her tightly, “Mia, you promised me to go out, you can't go back! Besides, the man has been chasing you for three years, can't you see this love?”
She could see, but her body now...
Already full of holes, dirty and dilapidated, she will make dirty anyone near her. What's more, her heart has been closed, this life she may not be able to love.
Why Brooke didn’t let her go and held her hands tighter, “Since you are here, why not to give yourself a chance? Do you still consider me a friend? If I am a friend, let me see after all the work I’ve done what you do to get out instead of just running away and worrying me!”
