"Louis Moreau needs to pay for what he did to you," Mi gri her teeth, her eyes fixed on a distant point. as she tried to contain her anger. Then she shifted her gaze towards Adam and said, "We need to file a complaint against Louis Moreau." "Yes, and I will do it first thing in the morning." Adam declared with determination, his voice firm despite his weakened state. Mia nodded, understanding that Adam needed rest to recover from his injuries. "Alright, I'm staying here with you tonight," Mia offered, her tone gentle yet resolute. "No need, Mia. Gia and Maximo will be alone and needing you," Adam said with a weak smile. He had always cared for the twins from the beginning. Even though he knew Mia wasn't going to marry him, he still couldn't force himself to let go of the love and care he had developed for them over the years. "Emily is with them, so don't worry." Mia reassured him. "I'm staying, and that's final, she insisted, her voice leaving no room for argument. Adam chuckled softly at her determination, feeling a warmth in his heart "Okay, ma'am," he said. touching his forehead in a playful salute. Mia returned his smile and reached to smooth his cover. "Now sleep for a while. We'll talk later," she ordered gently, and Adam relented without arguing, his exhaustion taking over. As Adam closed his eyes, Mia took out her phone and called Emily. In her hurry and panic, she had forgotten to inform her about Adam. Emily answered quickly, her voice filled with concern. "Emily, it's me. I wanted to let you know that Adam has been found," Mia said in a hushed voice, not wanting to disturb Adam's sleep. "Oh, thank God," Emily breathed, relief evident in her tone. "Is he alright?" "He's safe now, but he's injured. He needs some rest, Mia explained, glancing at Adam who was trying to sleep. "Oh, Mia. Thank you for letting me know. I was so worried, Emily breathed out as the tension in her voice cased. Mia nodded, even though Emily couldn't see her. "Emily, I'll be staying with him tonight. but I'll check in on Gia and Maximo first thing in the morning. Are they okay?" She bit her lip, waiting for her best friend's reply. "They're fine. We're reading a bedtime story right now. Don't worry about them, Mia. Just take care of Adam, Emily reassured her. "Thank you, Emily," Mia said, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. "Of course. Take care," Emily responded before hanging up. Mia put her phone away and looked at Adam, who was already drifting into sleep. She settled into the chair beside his bed. After a while, scrolling through her phone to check messages and emails, and then reading some news, she didn't realize when she fell asleep. In her sleep, she felt someone gently lift her and carry her to a soft bed, covering her with a blanket. She thought she was dreaming. When she woke up, she found herself lying on a bed placed in a corner of Adam's hospital room. She vawned, stretching her hands above her head, and then heard some noi Concern for Adam's health surged in her mind, and she hurried toward him, finding muses and the actor checking his vitals. "How are you feeling now?" Mia asked Adam, her forehead creased with deep concern. "I'm feeling better," Adam replied, offering her a reassuring smile. "Good morning, Miss Peterson," the doctor greeted her warmly. "Oh, sorry, good morning, Doctor," Mia mumbled, embarrassed by her earlier lapse in manners. "How is Adam now?" she asked eagerly. "Mr. Whitmore is doing well," the doctor said with a nod. "He can go home tomorrow, but I want him to be under observation for today." Mia felt a wave of relief wash over her. "That's great news. Thank you, Doctor." "But I want to stay here longer," Adam insisted, pouting slightly. "What? Why? You can rest at home and hire a nurse to look after you," Mia frowned at his unusual request. "But then you won't be there for me. Here, I love your attention and care, Mia," Adam smirked, his voice deep with a teasing tone. The doctor cleared his throat, and Mia and Adam both looked at his serious face. "Let me finish my job," the doctor demanded with a stern expression. Mia and Adam exchanged amused glances but didn't say anything and chose to stay silent. The doctor finished his examination and gave Adam a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Just take it easy today, Mr. Whitmore. Rest is the best medicine right now." Adam nodded. "I will, thank you" Mia sat back down in the chair beside Adam's bed, her heart feeling lighter. She watched as the nurses finished their routine checks and left the room, leaving her alone with Adam once more. "You know you're impossible sometimes," Mia said, shaking her head with a smile. Adam chuckled softly. "Maybe, but I meant what I said. Your presence here makes a difference." Mia laughed, shaking her head at Adam's usual teasing ""He wouldn't change, she thought. Then she remembered something-the dream from last night. She looked at Adam seriously. He couldn't have carried her in his condition, but she decided to ask him anyway. "Adam, did you carry me to the bed while I was sleeping?" she asked, curiosity furrowing her brow "No, babe. I mean, I would love to," Mia rolled her eyes at his flirtatious remark. "But with my shoulder hurt and my arm bleeding, I couldn't do it," he said, his expression regretful. "Then how did I end un in bed? I remember the last thune-I was in the chair beside your bed when I fell asleep," she mumbled, confusion evident in her voice. Adam shrugged, looking clueless. However, his smile hinted otherwise, a hint Mia couldn't quite read. He did know who had carried her to the bed last night, someone who couldn't stand to see her sleeping uncomfortably in the chair. He had seen the person sneak in silently and leave without making a sound.
