654 Mia's Request

Day Seventy-Two...

~~*****~~

[ At Vincent's Villa... ]

As Monica made her way to the pool for a refreshing swim, Mia seized the opportunity to talk to her Uncle Vincent. The little kid wanted to make a request from him. She gently knocked before entering the door. She heard his voice, allowing her to enter.

Upon entering the room, Mia found her uncle engrossed in his work. She could hear the tap-tap sound of the keyboard. With determination in her eyes, Mia called out to Vincent.

"Uncle," her small voice resonated softly through the room.

With a quick pause, Vincent tore his attention away from the screen, shifting his gaze toward Mia. A warm and affectionate smile spread across his face as he invited her to come over.

Vincent's voice carried a tender and caring tone as he inquired, "What can I do for you, my little princess?"

With a sense of longing in her eyes, Mia hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Uncle, I have a request," she began, her voice filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty. "Could you help me see my Mom again? I really want to visit her."

The last time Mia had seen Jane, she was confined to a hospital bed, unconscious. Little did Mia know, the circumstances had changed since then, and Jane was no longer in the hospital.

As Mia's words stirred the air in the room, a whirlwind of complicated emotions danced across Vincent's eyes at the mere mention of Jane's name. He hadn't seen her yet. Vincent couldn't help but wonder how much Jane had managed to recollect about her past. He also wished to see her to verify something.

Mia met her uncle's eyes with earnest determination. "I promise, Uncle," she affirmed without hesitation. Her commitment to respecting Vincent's wishes and the careful timing of the revelation was unwavering.

"I just want to see her and spend time with her. I'm willing to wait for the right moment." Her words conveyed not only her patience but also her deep affection for the mother she longed to reunite with.

Vincent bobbed his head in satisfaction. He stroked her hair before telling her to go back. He would notify her if he got information about Jane. He already mobilized Phoenix and his underlings to find out Jane's whereabouts. He wondered what she was up to right now.

Mia had just gotten out of his study room when Phoenix called Vincent to report something related to Jane. Vincent answered the phone call immediately.

"Did you find her?" He posed a direct question to Phoenix, his eagerness evident as he awaited any relevant information regarding Jane.

"King," Phoenix uttered, his tone laced with a hint of exasperation, "I've managed to pinpoint her current whereabouts. But when you hear this, you won't believe it." The intrigue in his voice hinted at a revelation that was sure to surprise Vincent as well.

"Stop the suspense. Just tell me." With an anxious urgency in his voice, Vincent got straight to the point.

"Jane has been staying at Mr. Hiroshi's villa!" Phoenix disclosed, his words covered with astonishment.

"It's no wonder I couldn't locate her anywhere near Nathan's other properties. It's quite a revelation, isn't it? Phantomflake living under the same roof as the Godfather of the Sawada Clan. One can't help but wonder about the nature of their connection. Could it be that Nathan sent her to work with the Sawada Clan as part of some alliance they've formed?" The intrigue in Phoenix's voice was palpable as he contemplated the possible implications of this surprising revelation.

Meanwhile, Vincent's eyebrows flickered with intrigue upon receiving this unexpected piece of information. "I'm just as clueless as you are," he admitted, his curiosity piqued.

"This falls under your jurisdiction, Phoenix. It's up to you to delve into the details and uncover the reasons behind Jane's presence at Hiroshi's temporary residence here in Country M. Give me the result, ASAP!"

"Okay, my King! I'll do my very best to investigate this."
