Chapter 271

Observing Dominic and Eva’s solemn expressions, Mia couldn’t help but wonder if they were about to

delve into the recent kidnapping orchestrated by Bob and Mary.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Mja obediently set down the bowl and asked, “Sure, what do you want to

discuss?”

Dominic spoke up. “Eva and I have been thinking about this for a while. Would you consider coming

back to Nord City and living with us?”

Eva, seated beside Mia, looked at her and Patricia reassuringly. “Don’t worry, if you choose to return

with us to Nord City, the entire family will move together.

“We’ll make arrangements for James to be transferred to another hospital. Once in Nord City. everyone

will be well taken care of.”

Upon hearing this, Mia instinctively glanced at Patricia, who appeared indifferent.

Given that Mia was carrying Timothy’s child, she did contemplate returning to Nord City for childbirth

due to safety concerns.

However, Patricia had spent her entire life in Bern City, and asking her to uproot herself completely

might not be an easy decision.

Patricia hesitated for a moment and said, “I need some time to think about this.”

Mia tenderly held Patricia’s hand. “Don’t let my influence sway your decision. I’ll be by your side.

no matter where you are.

“As we agreed before, I’ll take care of you and Uncle James in your old age. That promise remains

Mia shook her head, stating firmly. “This isn’t your fault. I’m certain that, after this incident, Bob and

Dominic nodded, his gaze steely. “You’re right. They won’t be able to bother you in the future.”

This time, Mia’s adoptive family was destined to face severe consequences. They would likely spend

the rest of their lives behind bars.

Shortly afterward, the rest of Mia’s brothers all arrived at the house. Seeing that she was safe, they

finally felt a sense of relief.

As Mia yawned, everyone began to disperse.

Dominic led his brothers out of the house, his expression stern as he turned to Jason. “We need to

handle Mia’s relationship with her adoptive parents more effectively this time.”

“Don’t worry, Dominic. I’ve already dispatched someone to reach out to them. If they want to safeguard

their son, Ted, they’ll have to agree to the adoption termination terms.”

Initially, the Lane brothers hadn’t given much thought to Bob and Mary, concentrating solely on building

their relationship with Mia.

Retreating to her room, Mia lay down to rest, reflecting on the harrowing experience of her kidnapping.

It all felt like a dream.

Shutting her eyes, Mia found herself in yet another dream–Timothy descended gracefully from a

helicopter, clad in camouflage attire.

He stood assertively beside a van, extending his hand toward her in silence.
