Chapter 57: Rolling down the stairs
The latter could no longer be heard, and Mia walked slowly towards the stairwell with feeble steps. Wang Yuxin, seeing Mia’s disoriented appearance, hurriedly and quickly chased after her, and Liam Jun and Claude, looking at each other, did not dare to be the least bit slow and followed closely behind.
Before he left, Claude gave the office a quizzical look, but didn’t linger for a moment.
Mia, ahead of her, staggered on for a long time as if she hadn’t the slightest bit of life left in her, finally stopping at the stairwell.
“Mia, you have to stop!” Noticing that behind Mia was the cascading staircase, Liam Jun didn’t dare to make a move, and could only speak out to stop Mia’s actions.
“Mia , don’t go forward, I know you are sad in your heart, let’s talk about it, okay?” Wang Yuxin blushed greatly and softly persuaded the disoriented Mia.
All three of them knew that if Mia took one more step forward, there was a good chance she would roll down the stairs, and that would have unthinkable consequences for her, who was pregnant.
Perhaps their words had an effect, Mia slowly turned back and scanned them in a daze before her eyes finally fell on Liam Jun. The hollow eyes seemed to glow with a bright light and a soft call spilled out from her pale lips, “Asher … ”
At the name, Liam Jun’s face changed; he had originally looked exactly like Asher, and now Mia, in a double whammy, was supposed to have identified him as Asher.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Mia , are you okay?” Wang Yuxin worriedly stared closely at Mia, a burst of unease rising in her heart.
“Mia , are you sure he’s Asher?” asked Claude cautiously and tentatively, knowing what was going on too.
Mia nodded with a pale face but her eyes remained vacant, “He’s Asher, how could I be mistaken?”
Just as Wang Yuxin wanted to correct her, she saw Liam Jun shake his head at her, and she looked at the grim-faced Liam Jun in confusion, “What is this … you’re doing?”
Liam Jun shook his head, lowered his eyes to Mia across the room and said softly, “Mia , you’re right, I am Asher, listen to me okay, hurry back, come back and let’s talk about it.”
Claude and Wang Yuxin’s faces changed greatly and they looked at Liam Jun in surprise, now Mia must have hated Asher in her heart for a long time, if Liam Jun pretended to be Asher again, it might backfire and irritate Mia even more.
“Liam Jun, is this going to work? What if Mia gets irritated again?” Leaning closer to Liam Jun, Wang Yuxin asked in a whisper.
Claude, however, stopped her and whispered, “I guess Asher is the only one she’ll listen to now, so let’s see.”
“Are you really Asher?” a light flashed in Mia’s eyes, but her face was tinged with doubt, as if she didn’t believe he was Asher again.
Liam Jun looked back at the other two and just had to nod, “Mia , it’s really Asher, hurry up and come over here, I have a lot to tell you.”
Mia, however, didn’t react, just stood frozen on the steps, looking silently at Liam Jun, as if trying to identify.
Mia was already only a dozen centimeters away from the steps, and the other three didn’t dare to make a move, they could only watch her nervously.
“Asher, why … why are you doing this to me! Even if you don’t love me, but this child is yours, why do you have to be so cruel?” Mia suddenly lost control and shouted towards Liam Jun.
“No, Mia , come here first, we’ll keep the baby, just come over here, okay?” Liam Jun’s voice was soft as he tried to soothe Mia’s out of control emotions.
Only to see Mia with her hands in her ears, shaking her head frantically, tears raging across her face, “No! You lied to me! You were just going to trick me into going over there and then take me to get the baby aborted!”
She wasn’t going to fall for it! That’s how he’d cheated on him before, and in the end she’d always gotten a merciless punishment.
If the child was lost in his hands, it would be better to let her snuff out the unborn little life with her own hands!
Liam Jun didn’t dare to say another word, but watched her next move with anxiety and anxiety.
Two lines of tears flowed slowly down Mia’s pale face as she looked down and tenderly stroked her belly, her eyes so gentle when she did, but in this case revealing a hint of something disturbingly eerie.
“Baby, I’m sorry mommy can’t protect you, just let mommy walk with you so you won’t be alone or scared, right?” Mia mumbled alone.
Liam Jun exclaimed in shock, “Mia , don’t, let’s talk about it, no aborting the baby, definitely not aborting!”
Mia lifted her head and looked decisively across at the man she loved to the bone, and a stunning smile emerged on her pale little face, a smile of grief to the core and despair.
“Didn’t you tell me to abort the baby? Well then, today I will make this child disappear in front of you and I will disappear too, so, are you satisfied …” Mia looked at Liam Jun in front of her and her voice was desperate to the core.
Mia leaned against the railing, coolness running from the soles of her feet to her face, her cold, slender left fingers clutching the hem of her shirt, her shell teeth clenching her bloodless lower lip, her dull gaze fixed on the flat of her belly.
A crystal hot tear dripped onto the back of her hand, then slowly swooshed away with the smooth skin, warm tears but nothing could warm the coldness inside.
Wouldn’t just ending your life and your child’s life end it all?
If that’s the case, let her end it all, right?
“Mia , you mustn’t do anything stupid, you come with me, let’s just leave here, okay, let’s go to a place where we can give birth to the baby, okay?” Wang Yuxin’s eyes were hazy with tears and full of prayers.
Mia shook her head slowly, no, she didn’t want to go on like this.
With teary, red eyes and one more look at Liam Jun in front of her, it was impossible to understand how one’s heart could be indifferent and cold and hard to such an extent that it could be so desperate as to snuff out a small, innocent life.
She took a breath and stepped back, standing at the entrance to the stairs.
The three men let out a shriek in unison, their hearts hanging violently.
Liam Jun’s heart almost stopped beating as he watched her retreat to the entrance of the stairs, and seeing her heels about to cross the steps, Liam Jun shouted nervously, “Mia, what do you want! Get over here! If you die, I won’t let you go!”
Looking at Liam Jun’s nervous and excited look, Mia smiled sadly, this man only knows to be nervous now? This man was also really funny, it was obvious that he was the one who pushed her to this point, and now he was pretending to worry about her, it was just ridiculous!
“Mia, I won’t forgive you if you dare to seek!” Claude and Wang Yuxin shouted in unison as they were emboldened.
Mia looked up at them tenderly, then across at Liam Jun, gave a rueful smile, and slowly stepped out onto her right foot.
She caught a glimpse of panic in Liam Jun’s eyes, didn’t she? Maybe she’d been wrong, how could someone without a heart feel for her?
“No!” Realizing what she was trying to do, Liam Jun rushed towards her quickly, trying to stop her.
But there was already a distance between them, and by the time he got to the railing, Mia had already rolled down, and he was still a step too late!
The three men watched as Mia rolled down the stairs, stopped at the corner, and then never moved again.
A cold chill invaded his gut, panic and heartache clogged his chest, and Liam Jun braced himself with his hands on the railing.
“No, Mia!” Wang Yuxin stumbled towards the bottom of the stairs as her jaw dropped.
Claude, startled, also followed behind Wang Yuxin and darted to Mia’s side.
Mia lay in a pool of blood, as pale as a sheet of white paper, her eyes tightly closed and seemingly not breathing at all.
Wang Yuxin trembled and held Mia in her arms, feeling her whole body cold and her breath very weak, like a rag doll without any life, “Why are you so stupid …”
“Ambulance! Quick!” Liam Jun, who had been standing up there for a long time, finally responded, pulling out his phone with a miserable white face, only to find that his hands kept shaking several times before he dialed the emergency number.
When he put the phone down, Mia opened her feeble eyes with difficulty, a bitter smile on her lips, a trembling hand on the small of her back, the baby should be gone, the executioner was herself as a mother!
But why is she still alive?
Why didn’t she die with the baby?
After Liam Jun finished making the call with a trembling voice, it was as if his entire body’s strength had been drained away, and he froze looking at the breathless Mia, his heart aching unbearably, almost suffocating.
“Mia you bear it, the ambulance is coming …” Seeing her mournfully stroking her belly, Wang Yuxin’s tears couldn’t stop flowing downwards.
“Mia, how silly … you are,” said Claude, standing aside and looking at her with a sullen gaze.
Mia shook her head and said breathlessly, “Didn’t he always want me to get rid of the baby? Now I have done it, there is no more between … me and him, from now on we, we have no more relationship …”
After saying that, Mia seemed like she had exhausted all her strength and finally closed her eyes slowly.
Liam Jun stepped forward with a grim face and without saying a word carried Mia through Wang Yuxin’s arms and carefully down the elevator ring turn.
Claude and Wang Yuxin looked at each other and followed him in silence.
Dropping Mia off at the door of the company building might buy her a few more minutes.
These minutes, her life is at stake!
