Bab 43: Not calm

"Mia, what are you doing here?" asked Clara with a probing look.

"Eh, I ... I just visited one of my friends," Mia replied with an awkward smile Clara who she knew was Casey's friend. "I'm in a rush... Too bad we can't talk," she continued.

Nathan nodded his head then said "hem... Please take care of Casey."

"Yeah, that's for sure. I'm in a hurry to go home because I have to take care of her. I hope when I get home she'll be awake," Mia said, full of lies. She immediately left Nathan and Clara with a bit of a limp.

Clara silently stared at Mia who was getting further and further away from her sight. The red stain on Mia's neck made her uneasy, and curious about where Michael was now.

'Could she be visiting her friend or maybe she was with Michael earlier? but is it possible that Michael will betray after being loyal to me for so long even though he's not as romantic as Nathan?' Clara asked herself.
