Mia was peering at a photo of Andre's mom, with nothing but darkness outside and dim light inside the room. Normally, this place would give her the creeps, but with her hubby around, she ain't afraid of nothing.

A little pot stood before a rug, and Andre opened up a piece of paper with test results on it. He lit it up without a second thought.

Mia piped up, "Honey, what about your dad and Bruce seeing this after you burned it?"

Andre glanced at his cute wife and asked, "Mia, are you scared of my mom's photo?"

Mia took another look at the picture of the woman, who wore a kind smile. She shook her head, "Maybe she knows I'm your wife and won't scare me."

Mia shook her head, shying away from the praise, "It's not me. It's your son's persistence. I even argued with him at first. But, as it turns out, he was right all along." "Without Mia, I wouldn't have found Molly." Andre said, looking at his wife who was kneeling beside him, "Without Mia, I wouldn't have got these test results so soon."

Mia hung her head, slightly guilty. If she had listened to Andre earlier and didn't make things difficult, they might have got the results even sooner.

"You don't have to worry about Jade. She's never suffered. The Byrnes have always treated her like a treasure. I've known Jade and Leo since middle school." Mia recalled Leo, the unlucky guy at the hospital, saying, "For Leo, this situation is a double-edged sword. He only has two good friends. One is me, now his family; the other is Jade, also his family."

relieving her sore knees. But standing for too long would also tire her out. So, she sat on the rug, legs crossed, leaning against Andre's arm and resting on his shoulder. Slowly, she fell asleep, like a little kitten curled up on her husband's lap. In the dark room, Andre finally felt guilt-free and less lonely in front

I don't feel lonely anymore. I've been searching for Molly for fifteen years, and she's been my rock for those years. But now, it's time for a change." Andre said, gently stroking the cheek of
