It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 828: KIA IS MISSING
Chapter 828: KIA IS MISSING
Seeing the bustle in the hospital corridor leading to Mika's ward, Kia immediately knew that something bad had happened and whatever it was, she had to prepare herself.
She felt her steps were heavy and everything around her sounded like an endless white noise. She felt herself walking on needles that made every step painful.
Kia had a strange thought that gave her the understanding that if she didn't meet Mika and slowed down her steps, then she wouldn't know what was going on, then her little princess would forever be in the same state she had left this morning.
"Sis Kia…" Alia called her sister's name, but Kia seemed to be in her own world. Alia didn't even have time to think what to do when Kia's body swayed and fell to the floor.
They were still half way to Mika's room, but seeing how panicked the doctors and nurses were going in and out of the room seemed to have made Kia know that Mika was not feeling well.
Kia could feel a tightness in her chest and it made it hard for her to breathe.
On the other hand, seeing her sister's condition like this, Alia visibly panicked as she didn't know what to do. She looked around her, hoping she'd spot Misha Tordoff's face, but she couldn't see him anywhere. Should she call her mom and dad? Tell them about Mika's condition?
Although Alia didn't know for sure, she got a gist of ??what was going on, after all she had experienced this kind of situation dozens of times before.
But, she immediately dismissed the thought of contacting her parents. After all, Kia might not like it if they came here.
"Sis Kia... come on get up, don't sit here." With great difficulty, Alia helped Kia stand up and sat her on a chair in the hallway and luckily at that moment, she saw someone coming out of Mika's ward and Alia immediately widened her eyes. "Mr. Tordoff, Mr. Tordoff!" Alia cried, waving her hands. "Here."
Misha looked a bit surprised when someone suddenly shouted his name, but when he saw Alia and Kia, he immediately rushed over to the two of them.
"Kia, what's wrong?" asked Misha feeling a bit of panic, while crouching in front of Kia. Her face was completely pale now. "Don't worry, the doctors have handled Mika, she is fine, you don't need to worry."
Kia then looked at Misha, searching in his eyes deeply, trying to find lies in them.
"Mika has passed the critical condition, she has calmed down," said Misha assuring the woman in front of him.
Kia felt the tightness she was feeling slowly disappear when Misha's words slowly registered into her mind and she could no longer hold back her tears and immediately hugged Misha.
"I want to see Mika…" Kia sobbed.
"Of course, of course, let's see her, okay?" Misha rubbed Kia's back and kissed the top of her head. He then helped Kia stand up.
It seemed that the shock she got was so great that her legs went limp and she had difficulty walking.
And when they reached Mika's room, both of them could see that what Misha said was true. Mika was in a stable condition and the faces of the doctors and nurses there no longer looked so tense.
For Alia, it was the first time for her to see another child going through the same condition as her.
And she couldn't help but wonder. Did she look like this when she was sick too? Did she look so pale and helpless like this?
After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Misha patted Alia on the shoulder and nodded toward the door, asking her to come out, leaving Kia alone.
In a situation like this, Kia definitely didn't want to be disturbed and she wouldn't listen to anything you say.
Therefore, she would not discuss anything with Alia.
Alia then followed Misha out of the room, with her school bag on her back.
"I think that's enough for today," Misha said as he closed the room behind him and faced Alia. He then walked into the lobby with the young girl following him. "I will ask Will to drive you home."
"Alright..." even though she wanted to stay longer, there was nothing she could do and Kia was definitely not in a condition to talk to her. "Can I come here again?"
Misha stared at Alia for a moment, considering what she was asking. "You better contact Kia first, whether she wants you here or not."
Misha had no problem with Alia coming here, but where Kia's family was concerned, only she could decide what she wanted from them.
"Oh, okay…" Alia said a little dispiritedly, because she wasn't sure if Kia would pick up her phone or reply to her messages. She definitely wouldn't want to hold the phone at all.
Misha walked Alia all the way to the parking lot, making sure she got into the car safely.
"Oh, Mr. Tordoff," Alia called before the car started. She rolled down the window on her side and started asking questions in a cheerful voice. "Can I call you brother- in- law now?"
Misha's face immediately changed. He frowned when he heard that because it sounded so absurd.
"What?" Misha didn't seem to hear the words.
"Brother- in- law," Alia repeated her words and then smirked. "You and Sis Kia are now together and I'm very grateful that you are Mika's father."
Will could be seen pressing his back into the back of his driver's seat to steal in their conversation more clearly. It was very funny for him to hear someone call Misha brother-in-law. He would tell Richard about this later.
"Because I have a lot of money?" Misha asked, there was laughter in his voice, he remembered how Alia was grateful that he had a lot of money for Mika's medical expenses.
And sure enough, it was something that made Alia feel grateful. "Isn't that a good thing?" she laughed softly. "Alright then, can I call you brother- in- law now?" she asked.
"No."
"Why not?"
Misha never thought of that answer. He just felt unaccustomed even when someone called him 'brother', even Jayden had never called him that. Please visit 𝗳𝚛𝐞𝘦wℯ𝚋𝓷o𝚟el. 𝐜𝘰𝒎
"Just no."
"Why not?" Alia didn't seem to want to back down. "If you marry Kia later, you will be my brother-in-law," she said cheerfully.
Misha was an only child and never had any siblings, thus, it was very strange for him to realize that what Alia said was true, that he would become her brother-in-law.
But then….
Should Misha call Daniel brother-in-law too? The creases between Misha's foreheads deepened.
"No." Misha then directed his attention to Will. "What are you waiting for? Take her away."
And after that, Will closed the window and started driving the car, ignoring Alia's protests.
Misha went back inside the hospital room and walked toward Mika's room, only he couldn't find Kia there.
"Kia?" Misha called her. He checked all the rooms, balcony, bathroom before asking the nurses on duty.
They just said that Kia left the room and didn't say where she was going.
However, it was impossible for Kia to just walk away and leave Mika all alone, especially after what happened just a few minutes ago.
Where did she go?
Misha had a bad feeling.
And right at that moment, Candice came and saw a confused Misha.
"What is it? Are you looking for something?" Candice approached Misha, her son didn't normally show such obvious panicked expressions like now, therefore, it was certain that this was a very disturbing thing for him. But what? "What is it?"
"Kia wasn't in Mika's room, the nurse said that she went out of there half an hour ago," Misha said in a voice that held great emotion.
But, Candice saw no problem with that. "Maybe she needs to get some fresh air and went to take a walk around the hospital. You don't need to worry, she'll be back in a bit."
Misha wanted to believe that, but his heart felt uneasy.
"No, mother, there's no way Kia left Mika alone." Misha then started to tell her what happened to Mika earlier and Candice looked shocked, but calmed down when Misha told her there's nothing to worry about because Mika had passed the critical period and was now recovering.
Therefore, it was impossible for Kia to leave her alone.
"Why don't you check the hospital's surveillance cameras to find out where Kia is?" Candice suggested.
Maybe because Misha was too panicked, that was why he didn't think of that method at all, it didn't cross his mind to check the hospital's surveillance cameras.
"Thank you, mother." Misha looked down and gave his mother a quick kiss and ran back in the opposite direction, while Candice rushed to check on Mika.
She wouldn't feel at ease until she could see with her own eyes that Mika was fine.
========================
After ten minutes of searching, they finally found where Kia was.
She walked up to the rooftop of this hospital building and seemed to be oblivious to her surroundings, walking in a daze.
"She's headed for the roof of the hospital in the west building," the officer said and they quickly mobilized people to go there.
Misha immediately ran there. He remembered very well what one of the nurses said when Kia was still being treated for her depression. One night, she went to the roof of that hospital as well and because the place was locked she couldn't enter.
