Female Novel
Chapter 364
Rodney, on crutches, laboriously walked down the hallway fast, stumbling from anxiety.
"Mia, where are you? Mia!"
His voice echoed in the empty corridor.
Suddenly, he was unsteady on his feet and nearly fell. Luckily he was steadily held by Cecelia, who
was coming towards him.
"Daddy, look out." Cecelia heard Rodney shouting from afar, and he sound unusual and urgent,
shouting Mia's name, so she rushed towards the source of the voice.
Fortunately, she arrived in time to avoid Rodney's fall.
Rodney was old, and a fracture would be a big problem.
"Oh, Cecelia. Quickly! Quickly help me find her!" Rodney squeezed Cecelia's arm hard, looking eager
and flustered.
The force was so strong that Cecelia couldn't help but frown in pain.
"Dad, what are you looking for?"
"Mia! I just saw Mia, literally, right over there." Rodney pointed to the middle of the hallway.
"She was accidentally bumping into me and holding me steady, and when she looked up, I got a good
look at her. I was so shocked that I didn't have time to react, and when I came back to my senses, she
was gone. Quickly, quickly, you help me find her!" Rodney was so anxious that he kept hitting the
ground with his cane.novelbin
Charlotte had never seen Rodney so nervous, and she hid behind Cecelia in fear.
Cecelia laughed and softly soothed Rodney, "Daddy, how can that be? You must be mistaken."
"No, it's impossible to be wrong, it's really Mia! I saw it with my own eyes! If you don't believe me, I'll go
find her myself!" Rodney shook off Cecelia with force, stubbornly turned around and walked away.
"Dad, stop it! Let's go home." Cecelia stepped forward and pulled Rodney. How could someone his age
be just like children and have tantrums from time to time.
"Go away! I'll find it myself!" Rodney was really angry, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, far
angrier than when he was talking about the marriage in the box just now!
Cecelia froze, Rodney didn't seem to be confused.
She asked, "Okay, Dad. When you said you saw Mia, how old was she?"
Rodney pointed to Charlotte, "Just about her age, early twenties."
"Puff!" Cecelia could not help but laugh, "Dad, you must be joking! Mom has been dead for dozens of
years, and if she was still alive, she would at least be in her seventies, how could she still be a young
girl in her twenties?"
She stepped forward and took Rodney by the arm, coaxing, "Well, you must be mistaken. She looks
like Mom at best. But it can't be Mom."
Rodney was in a trance, unable to hide his disappointment, repeatedly reciting, "Yes, Mia, if she is still
around, should also be my age, how can she still be so young, just like when we first met."
"That's right. Well, we're going home." Cecelia gave Charlotte a wink.
Charlotte rushed forward to help Rodney and called out sweetly, "Grandpa, we're going home."
Rodney sighed. He didn’t seem to be willing to leave, and kept looking back up the corridor.
But in the empty corridor, there was no longer the figure of the girl just now.
"It's so similar, it looks so much like Mia."
Cecelia helped Rodney slowly down the stairs, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Rodney had been in the field all his life and truly loved Mia. He had never forgotten Mia and never got
married again.
Even after the Heath family threw away all of Mia's belongings, burned all the photos, eliminated all
traces of Mia's existence, and was determined to get Rodney to forget about Mia and start over…
