Chapter 813: KIA IS BEING DISCHARGED

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The day when Kia was allowed to go home was finally here and Mika, apart from Misha, was the one who was most happy to hear the news that she could now see her mother every day and not just once a week as before.

And early in the morning, she woke up and got out of bed to go to Misha’s room, even though the sky was still dark.

“Uncle, Uncle, wake up,” Mika said in a low voice, she intended to wake Misha up, but she kept her voice very soft. “Uncle, we have to pick up mom, come on get up.”

Mika nudged Misha’s cheeks and then tucked herself into the covers because this room was much colder than her own.

“It’s still too early Mika,” Misha said as he pulled his daughter’s little body into his arms. He didn’t open his eyes at all because he had only slept for a few hours. “Mommy will still be sleeping at this hour.”

“Then let’s wake up mom,” said Mika while hugging Misha’s body too because it felt warm. “We go, wake mom and then tell her to sleep in Mika’s room.”

“Good idea, but we can do it later, not now, okay?” Misha hugged his daughter tighter.

After the incident of Mika ‘disappearing’ in the morning, she would often be found in Misha’s room, because early in the morning, she would often change rooms and continue to sleep beside Misha and these things happened frequently, therefore, Misha was no longer surprised when he awoke to find his little daughter clinging to him, fast asleep. She would usually curl under the covers, holding him close.

For Misha, those were the best mornings he could ever get and he loved whenever he got to wake up like that.

“But, Mika wants to go now,” Mika said in a low voice. “Let’s wake mom and bring her home.”

Misha then rubbed Mika’s head and didn’t say anything, which made the little girl yawn and this made Misha chuckle, because not long after that Mika would fall back asleep.

And sure enough, it wasn’t long before Mika had fallen asleep, forgetting about her mission to pick up her mother, which meant that Misha could continue sleeping for the next two hours.

His little girl even snore softly, the sound was so therapeutic in his ears.

========================

“Mama!” Mika shouted while running fast. She shot toward Kia as soon as Misha let her down from his embrace and immediately hugged her mother tightly. “Mika missed mommy!”

Kia chuckled and kissed Mika on the cheek. “Mommy missed you too, baby.”

Misha calmly followed behind and smiled at this sight. Kia looked much thinner and her face was a little pale, but she was much better than when she first came to this hospital.

Her eyes radiated the serenity and joy that had been missing for so long.

“Let someone else carry the suitcases into the car. Let’s go home,” Misha said in a calm voice, he stretched out his hand and Kia took it. This made Misha feel relieved because it meant that Kia didn’t reject him anymore.

“Mama, mama, I am going to show you my bunnies!” Mika shouted, jumping up and down, asking to be carried by Kia, but Misha was the one who grabbed her and carried her. “I want to be with mom.”

“Mommy is still sick, so I can carry you,” said Misha which made Mika frown, but she didn’t whine.

While being carried by Misha, Mika held Kia’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid that her mother would not come with them to go home and would be in this place much longer. She didn’t want that to happen.

“How do you feel?” Misha asked while holding Kia’s hand which felt very thin and frail. He felt that if he held it any harder than this, he would be able to crush it.

“I’m fine,” replied Kia with a smile. The two of them walked toward the car and didn’t talk much to each other as Mika continued to dominate the conversation. She seemed very eager to tell her mother about anything she saw and tell her what she had done.

“Grandma bought me a bunny bag! I didn’t bring it because I was going to wear it on the first day of school,” said Mika excitedly. “And then…” and Mika kept telling stories on the way home.

Mika only stopped talking when they got stuck in traffic and had to be there for about half an hour and the little girl got tired and fell asleep on Kia’s lap.

“I didn’t know that she could be this talkative, was she also like this when she was at your house?” asked Kia while stroking Mika’s head gently, while she fell asleep snoring softly.

Misha winced slightly when he heard how Kia said ‘your house’, he felt the distance between them felt so real, but this was not the time to be discussing that.

“She is very cheerful and everyone likes her,” said Misha while stroking Mika’s head gently and this had become a habit for him.

Seeing this, Kia had mixed feelings.

“I am bothering you,” said Kia in a low voice.

Misha was silent for a moment, but then he answered in a calm voice. “Keep bothering me, I like it.”

Kia looked up at him when she heard that kind of answer and chuckled, but Misha was very serious when he said that. He wanted Kia to keep bothering him. He wanted to take care of them both.

And for the rest of the trip, they stayed silent and the atmosphere became more calm, but not awkward at all.

Something that Misha rarely got and he really liked this. He felt much more relaxed now.

“I will carry her into her room,” Misha said while carrying Mika carefully so she wouldn’t wake up, while Kia followed behind.

This was the second time for her to be at the Tordoff residence and the room prepared for Mika was the same room she had previously seen, but this time the room had been beautifully renovated and would certainly make any child of Mika’s age feel comfortable in being there.

Misha had prepared everything very well.

“As for your room…” Misha said, but Kia had cut him off.

“I will sleep together with Mika, you don’t need to bother,” Kia said quickly, which made Misha just nod, agreeing to that.

Actually, Misha wanted to tell her that she could sleep in his room, because his room was right opposite Mika’s, but Kia much preferred to sleep together with their daughter.

“Hm, Misha…” Kia said hesitantly before Misha left the room and let herself to rest.

“Yes?”

Kia looked awkward, but then she said “Where are your mom and dad? You said they were here to see Mika, but I didn’t see them when we came earlier.”

Kia didn’t know what she should do when she met them, but it would seem very impolite if she didn’t say hello to the two of them, especially after what happened and she also had to re-explain Mika’s position.

It was just that Misha’s answer was beyond her expectations.

“I told them to go home,” he answered briefly. “They’ve been here too long and it’s time for them to go home, you need rest anyway and they’ll only bother you.”

Kia gasped, she didn’t expect Misha to do that.

“How can you kick them out of their own home?” Kia winced, feeling scared. What would they think of her later?

“The Tordoff Mansion is the place for the successors who are running the company and now that my father has retired, this is automatically my home.” After all, the house his father currently living in was no less grand than this house. “You don’t have to worry about them.”

On the one hand, Kia was relieved that she didn’t need to meet with Lexus and Candice for the time being, as she was still not ready, which Misha fully understood, and so he asked the two of them to leave and temporarily postponed the meeting.

However, on the other hand, Kia felt bad because she felt like she had acted impolitely.

Seeing Kia’s troubled face, Misha went up to her and hugged her, which surprised her, but she didn’t push him away and let him hug her like this.

“Don’t worry about anything, I want you to focus on yourself and let me handle everything,” Misha said softly and kissed Kia’s forehead. “Take a rest, I’ll ask someone to deliver lunch to your room.”

And after saying that, Misha came out of the room, but before that, Kia called out carefully.

“Misha, thank you.”

“I will accept your thanks if you show it in another way,” Misha said with a knowing smile.

This left Kia confused, but Misha had left the room and left her alone with Mika who was sleeping, so they could both rest.

Kia then decided to change her clothes and rest while waiting for lunch which would be delivered to her room, according to what Misha said, but then, three middle-aged women wearing uniforms greeted her.

“We are Miss Mika’s babysitters,” said one of them named Ella.

“Babysitters for Mika?” Kia frowned. She wouldn’t be this surprised if Misha had prepared a babysitter for Mika, considering that Misha had absolutely no experience taking care of a small child. But… “You three are Mika’s babysitters?”

Seriously, how could he hire three people at once to look after Mika?

“Yes, that’s right,” she replied.

Kia didn’t know what to say anymore…
