Chapter 816 Bad Encounter

Day Eighty-Seven...

~~*****~~

Mia was hurt by her discovery. It turned out Jane was not her biological mother.

'My Dad lied to us. I wonder if he is also my biological father. I don't know what to believe in anymore.' Mia thought to herself as she continued running away.

When she got tired, she sat in a waiting shed on the side of the road, picking up her phone. She needed someone to talk to at this moment. One person came into her mind– Ethan.

Mia immediately dialed Ethan's number. After a few seconds, the call got connected. Ethan's voice was heard from the other line.

"Hello, Mia?"

"Ethan. Are you free? Can I see you?"

"Yes. I'm free. Where are you? Are you okay? Did you cry?" Ethan asked Mia worriedly when he noticed her hoarse voice.

"I'm not o-okay," she replied. She had the urge to cry again but she held herself back. "I don't know where I am right now." Mia looked at her surroundings. "It's fine. Just open your GPS. I will track your location and I'll go there." Ethan immediately searched for a laptop. He was currently staying in the Xu Mansion, accompanying his grandfather.

"Where is your Mommy Jane? Is she not with you?" Ethan continued talking to Mia while looking around in Old Man Xu's study room.

"No. I ran away from home. I don't want her to see me like this." When Jane's name was mentioned, Mia could no longer hold her tears. They fell like raindrops coming from the corners of her eyes.

Ethan didn't know what happened to Mia. But he could feel that Mia needed him right now. As soon as he tracked her location, Ethan informed his grandfather that he was going out to meet his friend, Mia.

Old Man Xu asked the family chauffeur to drive Ethan. One bodyguard also accompanied Ethan.

After twenty-five minutes, Ethan finally found Mia who was sitting in the waiting shed by the roadside.

"Uncle, just stay here. I'm just going to talk to my friend. I will convince her to come with me." Ethan instructed the guard and the driver to stay in the car and wait.

Mia nodded.

They were about to leave and walk toward the car when someone blocked them.

"Hello, kids. Where do you think you are going?"

Both Ethan and Mia gazed up only to see someone whom they didn't expect to see.

"Aunt Helena?" Mia mumbled in surprise.

"Hi, Mia. Long time no see." She flashed a sinister smile.

Ethan stepped forward, shielding Mia away from Monica. He sensed some danger as he looked at her.

"Why are you here? What do you want from us?" Ethan asked her coldly. He was in his protective stance.

Monica just let out a mocking laugh as she eyed the two annoying children in front of her. "I'm here to take Mia with me. Do you want to know who your real mother is?"

"Don't listen to her, Mia." Ethan held Mia's hand tightly.

Monica chuckled once more. "Hmm. Actually, I've been looking for you as well, Ethan. I guess I'm so lucky to see you here with Mia. You made my work easy. Both of you will come with me whether you like it or not."

At that certain moment, Ethan knew what he needed to do. "Mia! Let's run!" Ethan shouted.

But even before they could make a step, two men captured them from behind. "Young Master!" Ethan's guard noticed the scene as he hurriedly stepped out of the car. But it was too late. The sound of gunshots reverberated in the area.

Bang! Bang!

"NO!!!"

"Ethan!"

"Young Master!"
