''Mimi was pregnant?'' Mikael and Natalie asked almost at the same time.

''That is not what is important now. Aunt knew about Daniel's plans so she asked me to go and save Mimi. Now, Mimi is at the hospital but the guards at the Song residence said that they went on a vacation''

''Daniel Song took my mother. If I am right, he wants to use her as his last trump card to make me go to him. This is the only reason''

Mikael's landline started ringing. ''I will answer this first'' he went to the table and picked the phone.

''Hello, Mikael villa''

''Sir, there is a young lady outside that wants to see your wife. She said her name is Mimi''

Natalie and Wales turned to look at Mikael when they heard the security's voice.

''Let her in'' Mikael answered before hanging up.

''Mimi is here, what could it be?'' Natalie looked at Mikael and Wales. She went to the door as soon as they heard the knock.

When Natalie opened the door, Mimi's body fell on her body. Wales and Mikael rushed over and helped her. Wales carried Mimi to the hall and placed her on the large sofa.

'She looks so pale and malnourished. What happened to her?'' Natalie asked as she squatted and looked at Mimi.

''She fainted. Her body is hot'' Wales commented.

''I will call Andra to come and see her before it becomes worst''

''Natie, you are not going to allow this woman to spend the night in our house, right?''

''Mikael, she is unconscious. You don't expect me to throw her out of the house, right? no matter what she is human and also the possible lead to finding my mother. Since she came here herself, there must be something that she wants to say''

''I hate her'' Mikael said sternly.

''You really can't keep your feelings to yourself'' Wales commented.

''Mikael, please, mm? I promise, I will make sure she doesn't affect our lives''

''You… send her to the guestroom. My mood is messed up already'' Mikael said to Wales before going to their room.

''Is he really angry?'' Wales asked Natalie.

Natalie nodded her head and smiled sheepishly, 'don't mind him. I will coax him later on. Let's send Mimi to the guestroom first, then I will call Andra''

''Okay''

…

''What happened to her? How long has she been in this condition?'' Andra asked after putting an IV on Mimi who was still unconscious.

''She was already hospitalised. She must have come from there straight'' Wales replied.

''She needs a lot of rest. She fainted due to stress. She will fall sick again if she doesn't take care of her health. But… is it alright to let her stay here?'' Andra looked at Natalie.

''Aye, don't even remind me. Mikael is already pissed with me. But, I just need her to regain consciousness so that I can ask her why she was here and where my mother is. After that, I will send her away. I am not a saint to live with someone who bullied me all my life and made me go through so much''

''That's true. It's late, call me when she wakes up''

''Alright. thanks for coming this late''

….

Natalie closed the door after both Wales and Andra left. She went to the hall and saw Mikael at the kitchen.

''Mikael, I'm sorry. I totally forgot that I had to make dinner for you''

''Is not your duty to make dinner for me all the time. I'm already full from anger. I will just drink some milk and go to bed since my wife has turned into a nurse today''

Natalie sighed and wrapped her arms around Mikael's waist, ''aye, stop being angry. I am sorry. This is something that can't be helped, right? I know, you have every right to be angry but, I really can't help me''

''I understand but seeing you comfortably helping the woman who made your life hell is making me so angry. Are you not angry with her? Why are you such a kind person?''

''I am not a kind person. I hold grudges too and I am angry that I am this way towards the one person I should hate. But, what is that going to get me? Keeping a lot of hate and bitterness in me is giving her the power to get to me all the time. You know, Thomas told me something a few years ago. He said that I shouldn't be so focused on revenge that I forget who I am and the people that I love. Contrary to popular believes, karma does exist and I think that without me even doing anything, she is going to pay for her crimes anyways.

Mikael, I went through a lot and my heart was almost frozen and at a standstill until you came into my life. Do you know why I always say that you are my miracle? You taught me to love myself, to value myself and to have confidence in myself. I always lived a life that was mundane and I got sick most of the time but you strengthened me and helped me become a better person.

Please, let's not quarrel over someone who is not worth it? I will send her after we get my mom. She is the only assurance we have and can use against Daniel at the moment''

''I'm sorry for acting immature''

''No, you look cute when you act that way. It shows how much you care about me. I like you even more''

''Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat''

''No, it's late. I will have a glass of milk too. But, I can't spend the night with you. I need to look after Mimi tonight''

'I understand. Let me warm the milk for you''

'Okay'' Natalie jumped on to his back.

'What are you doing?''

''Back me. I need to recharge before I go to Mimi''

''Okay, recharge all you want'' Mikael said and adjusted her body, making her back him well.

….

Next day.

Mimi stretched her hand towards the table to pick the glass of water and accidentally knocked it over. The noise woke Natalie who was sleeping up.

''You are awake?'' Natalie stood up and picked the glass up.

''I'm sorry, I poured the water away''

''It's alright, the carpet has water absorbents. Do you want to drink water?''

''Mm''

Natalie poured a glass of water and helped Mimi sit up before giving the water to her to drink.

''Thank you''

Mikael entered the room and looked at them, ''Natie, breakfast is ready''

'Good morning to your too grumpy pants. I will be out soon'' Natalie said as she took the glass from Mimi.

''I'm sorry for intruding on you''

Natalie turned and looked at Mimi, 'you must be seriously sick. You never apologise to anyone, Mimi. Right, if you were sorry, you wouldn't have come here in the first place''

''I know. I am being shameless by coming here. You even took care of me all night. Thank you elder sister''

'Stop! I told you, you and I are not related. Stop calling me elder sister. I hate it''

''Mm''

''Rest here, I will bring you something to eat. My husband doesn't want to see you as you might have noticed''

''I understand?''

Natalie looked at Mimi and sighed before going out.

Natalie looked at Mikael and joined him at the dining table. she looked at the table and asked, ''didn't you make something for Mimi?''

''Did you bring a housekeeper when she came yesterday?''

Natalie chuckled, ''so petty this morning''

''Did she tell you why she came?''

''No, she just woke up. I will make something for her to eat first. When Wales comes then I will ask her''

''I made porridge for her. It's in the bowl on the kitchen table'' Mikael said with a frown.

'Thank you, hubby. I knew you were a darling''

''You said I was petty and childish''

''I take my words back. You are amazing and one in a million''

''That's more like it'' Mikael smiled.

…

Natalie entered the guestroom with the bowl of porridge. She saw Mimi coming out of the bathroom.

''Did you change me last night?''

''What do you think? Look, shouldn't you be careful with your health after going through something so tough?''

''I'm sorry, Natalie''

''Can you stop apologising already? I'm really not used to this side of you''

''Mom told me this… 'it is too late to say you are sorry', I wonder if you feel that same way too? You are the person I owe the most''

''Sit down and eat the porridge. Let's talk after you've eaten''

''I came here because I was scared. I was scared that he will come for me if I remained at the hospital. He is not human. He is a monster''

''Mimi, this is not the time to break down. I need you to wipe those tears, eat the food and then we can talk about where my mother is because your father took her away''

'Okay''
