Chapter 384

Mia cleared her throat awkwardly. “I called Claude before heading out this morning, but a woman picked up instead. My call caused Claude’s break up last time so I didn’t want to disturb him again.”

Connor fell silent. He was secretly fuming, wanting nothing more than to beat the living shit out of Claude. That jerk was always so unreliable!

“One more thing, Connor. I don’t want to use my current Identity anymore.” Mia’s expression turned serious. “I want to start fresh in Nord City.”

She didn’t want Timothy to track her down. She had to protect her child.

Connor nodded. “Okay, give me some time. You look tired. You should get some rest once we get home.”

“I don’t want to go home!” Mia’s protest was quick, her unease palpable. “Connor, my mind’s al mess right now, and I want to gather my thoughts at a quiet place. Tell Aunt Patricia that I’ll be busy the next few days and will be staying in the school dorm. I don’t want her worrying.”

She couldn’t risk going home. That asshole Timothy would surely find her there. She would be walking right into a trap if she went home.

Connor sighed. “I have a place near the hospital. I usually crash there when things get hectic. You can stay there.”

“Okay.” Mia finally relaxed and soon drifted off to sleep.
