Day Seventy-Nine…
~~*****~~
"Tatsumi, we need to find Mia as soon as possible!" Jane had made up her mind. Instead of dwelling on the pain of her past, she must take action now before it's too late.
"I won't let Vincent use Mia to blackmail me." She clenched her fists.
"Okay, my lady. We will find them." Tatsumi could feel Jane's rage and determination. No matter what her decision was, he would always support her.
"Do you have a laptop? May I borrow it?" Jane planned to track Mia's current location.
"Yes. Let me get it at the back."
Tatsumi stopped the car for a moment. He handed his laptop over to Jane as he waited for her next instructions. The tap-tap sound of the laptop echoed inside the car. Jane's attention was focused on the laptop's screen.
As Jane tried to track Mia's location, Speed just received a message from Vincent.
[ Change of Plan. Send Mia back to our main headquarters. Leave this country now. ]
Speed's eyes widened after reading Vincent's message. She wondered if something went wrong. "Aunt? Is there something wrong?" Mia tugged Speed's arm when she noticed her surprised reaction.
"Mia, your Uncle Vincent told me to return home." Speed informed her.
Mia blinked in confusion. "Ok. Aunt. You can send me back to my Mommy before you can leave."
Speed smiled awkwardly, scratching her face. "Actually, I'm bringing you with me as per your Uncle's order."
"Huh? But I don't want to go home yet. I want to stay here with my Mommy!" Mia objected, stepping away from Speed.
"Little Mia… I have no choice. We should obey your Uncle. Maybe he will ask your Mommy to visit you." Speed tried to convince Mia.
But Mia didn't believe her. Afraid that she would get separated from her mother, Mia ran away from Speed.
"Mia!!!" Speed called her out. She didn't expect that Mia would suddenly run away from her. They were in the mall and the place was crowded.
Speed chased after her. "Damn! Our King will kill me if I lose her." Speed could move fast however Mia's small figure was difficult to find in the middle of the crowd. "Mia!!!" She kept calling her name.
Speed headed to the exit gate when she caught a glimpse of Mia's figure. "I have to catch her, otherwise, our King will torture me to death."
Speed's face turned pale as soon as she witnessed Mia crossing the streets with the green light on.
"No! Mia! STOP!" Speed screamed with all her might just to catch the little girl's attention.
However, before she could take action, a mischief happened. A loud screeching sound reverberated in the area. "OMG! A child was hit by a car!" An onlooker shouted as he witnessed the scene.
Mia's body lay on the ground, unconscious and bleeding.
"No!!!" Speed was shocked beyond belief. All her strength was drained from her body. She was scared to death witnessing this scene. Her mind went blank for a moment as she Instinctively dropped to her knees.
"Call the ambulance!" Some bystanders responded to the scene, checking Mia's condition.
A few minutes later, Speed snapped out of her deep stupor. The ambulance arrived. Without further ado, they rushed Mia to the nearest hospital.
Just a few moments after the ambulance left, Jane and Tatsumi arrived at the location where the accident happened. She was confused to see the car and the trace of blood on the ground along with a damaged cellphone. She checked her tracking GPS and her eyes fell on the spare parts of the phone on the ground. Jane had a nagging feeling after seeing the phone.
Several police officers were also present on the scene. "Sir, what happened here?" Tatsumi asked the officer-in-charge. "This car hit a little girl who was crossing the street," the police officer responded after recognizing Tatsumi.
Jane overheard their conversation. She immediately grabbed the police officer's collar. "What did you say? A little girl?!" Jane's heart started to race, anxiety and fear could be seen in her eyes.
Her body trembled and she couldn't think clearly.
"Jane… please calm down. Let him go," Tatsumi intervened, trying to remove Jane's hand from gripping the police officer's collar.
Breathing heavily, Jane let go of the police officer. Tatsumi apologized on her behalf. Soon, the police described the little girl. That was the time Jane almost lost her mind.
"No! It can't be Mia. Oh God… please not Mia. Not my daughter..."
"Jane…" Tatsumi didn't know what to say. Jane was on the verge of breaking down once again. All he could do was wrap his arms around her.

[ At Sawada Clan Branch Headquarters… ]
Meanwhile, Mr. Hiroshi continued confronting Vincent. His gun was still pointed at Vincent, pressuring him to speak the truth.
"Give me a proper explanation. How did you and my daughter end up in this situation? Why did you take Mia away from her?" Mr. Hiroshi shot Vincent a cold sharp glare.
"I had to do it to protect her and our child. Someone was after her life because of me… she and my child almost died because of my mistake. Believe it or not… I love your daughter." Vincent insisted.
However, Mr. Hiroshi wasn't convinced. He could feel that Vincent was still hiding something from him.
"I've investigated you. You are engaged to someone… Helena Carlsen. How can you say that you love my daughter if you are already committed to someone? Are you playing jokes with us? Do you think you can easily deceive us?" Mr. Hiroshi could no longer tolerate Vincent's lies. This guy knew how to play with his words, pretending to be sincere. They were still in the middle of their argument when Vincent's phone rang. It was an emergency call from Speed.
'She's calling me at times like this. I told her to leave the country as soon as possible. Why is she contacting me now?'
Without hesitation, Vincent answered the call. A few seconds later, his usual calm demeanor disappeared. His expression turned grim.
Turning around, Vincent headed toward the door with hurried footsteps.
"Where do you think you are going? We are not yet done talking!" Mr. Hiroshi yelled, wanting to stop Vincent from leaving.
Bang!
It was a warning shot. But Vincent just ignored it.
"You can shoot me… but nothing can stop me from seeing my daughter." Vincent's voice was firm and serious, with no sign of hesitation.
"What happened to Mia?" Mr. Hiroshi asked, sensing the heaviness in Vincent's words.
Vincent glanced at him with a sullen look on his face. "She had an accident."
Mr. Hiroshi was shaken upon hearing the bad news. At that certain moment, Mr. Hiroshi put down his gun.
"Where is she? I'm coming with you." Mr. Hiroshi realized that this was not the time to threaten Vincent. Their top priority was to find out Mia's condition.
Vincent just nodded his head in acknowledgment. The two of them stepped out of the office. Mr. Hiroshi motioned for his men not to intervene, letting Vincent go. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They rushed to the hospital together, worrying about Mia's safety.
'Oh please. Don't let anything happen to Mia. We just reunited with my granddaughter. We can't lose her now.'
