Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

deserve it, but you’re not much better off” Mia laughed.

Jim said. “Miss Mia.”

As expected, the man was angered. He suppressed the anger in his heart and glared at Mia. Leave

Athana today”

Mia was afraid when she heard that, but she still wanted to take a gamble. “I can explain to her about

you and me. I promise it will be effective. This way, can I negotiate a condition with you?”

After a moment of silence, Mia took it that Trevon agreed.

Mia no longer provoked Trevon. Instead, she said truthfully. Tll explain to her everything about you and

me, including the child, and that I was the one who pestered you. Of course, there’s also the matter of

you returning me the evidence of my drugging”

“What did you say?” Upon hearing that, the man grabbed Mia’s neck angrily. He was so furious that his

eyes were red and filled with killing intent.

At this moment, the scene of Natalie suddenly asking him one night if he knew the mastermind flashed

across his mind. Hence, Natalie had wanted to confirm it herself. She was not asking him to investigate

it. However, what had he done? No wonder Natalie suddenly moved out and even proposed a divorce.

Did Natalie think that he was in cahoots with Mia? Ile gave the information to Ma because he wanted to

tell Mia that her matter had been exposed. He was warning Mia to behave and not make any further

moves.

Why did Natalie misunderstand that he was protecting Mia?

Jim was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade Trevon. “Mr.

Wilson, we are in the ward. Mrs. Wilson will come in at any time.

In disgust, Trevon let go of Mia and pushed her to the door frame. He took a tissue to wipe his hands.

Jim gestured for Mia to leave. “Miss Mia, I hope you’ll keep your word and explain to Mrs. Wilson

properly. Otherwise, your

outcome might not be something you can bear.”

The man’s back was facing Mia. He had turned around and was facing the window. He was filled with

regret, confusion, and powerlessness. He took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. As if he had

thought of something, he threw the cigarette into the trash can and looked down at the people coming

and going downstairs. He fell into deep thought.

Mia was right about one thing. He was powerless to refute that. At first, when Mia came in, he had the

urge to strangle her to death. However, when she pointed out his mistake, his confidence faltered, and

he felt he had been ridiculously wrong.

Jim quietly watched the man stand by the window without saying a word. Eventually, Jim chose to

leave silently. When someone was in a bad mood, they preferred to think about their problems alone. It

was also a courtesy to leave silently and

not disturb them

After leaving Ward 1314, Mia did not return to her father’s ward on the eighth floor. Instead, she

headed straight to the doctor’s office to look for Natalie. Mia stood at the door and knocked politely.

This behavior of hers shocked everyone. No one could have imagined how arrogant and overbearing

Mia used to be.

Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the office turned to look at the door. Natalie was no

exception. When she saw the person who came, she knew that Mia was there to look for her. She

stood up without hesitation.

Natalie slowly walked to Mia. “Are you looking for me?”

Mia’s expression did not look good. One could even see the tears at the corners of her eyes. “I’d like to

talk to you.”

“Let’s go.” The two of them walked to a corner of the ward corridor. Natalie leaned against the stainless

steel fence and asked directly. “What do you want to tell me?”

Mia was silent for a moment before saying calmly, “I’m leaving Athana. Natalie was not surprised by

this decision.

Natalie leaned against the fence with her hands in her pockets and said calmly, “That’s quite good.”

Natalie did not think she had anything to talk about with Mia, but it was already unprecedented that

they could speak to each other so calmly today. Natalie had come out with Mia because they were in

the hospital. Natalie did not want many people to know about her past, including her past relationship

with Trevon.

Natalie’s coldness was within Mia’s expectations. “Before I leave, I want to apologize to you and

explain myself. It might sound like a pointless explanation, but I still want to say that I didn’t manage to

come in between you and Mr. Wilson during your marriage. Mr. Wilson never paid attention to me. I’d

been acting on wishful thinking.”

Natalie did not know what Mia wanted to say and did not say anything. Whether Mia succeeded did not

mean much to

Natalie now.

As Mia spoke, she did not care if Natalie was listening seriously or not. It was as if Mia wanted to pour

out everything in her heart. “Let me share with you what happened between Mr. Wilson and me.

Actually, I wasn’t Mr. Wilson’s girlfriend. He has never been with me at all. He didn’t even hold my

hand. He didn’t clarify it for Henry’s sake, At that time, I really liked Mr. Wilson. Who wouldn’t like the

rich and handsome descendant of the Wilson family? Who wouldn’t want to cling to him? Of course, I

was no exception. Women are all vain. You don’t know how popular the title of Mr. Wilson’s girlfriend is

in the

industry. At that time, Mr. Wilson hadn’t become the successor of the Wilson Group yet.

“You know that my surname isn’t actually Blackwell. I merely used a little trick to please Henry. I coaxed

him to accept me as his god-granddaughter and change my surname. Perhaps I was so used to being

the Blackwell family’s granddaughter that I forgot my surname for a while. I felt that I could establish

myself in Athana with that identity. I could wait for his love. 1 coaxed myself that he would turn around

and see me one day. Therefore, when I found out that you bought contraceptive pills that day, I was

filled with jealousy. It was because he slept with you. I waited for so many years, but he didn’t touch

me.

“I couldn’t accept it. I refused to concede defeat. You’re not the daughter of a wealthy family. What right

do you have to be loved by Mr. Wilson? Thus. I flaunted my pregnancy to you. Wasn’t that ridiculous?

I’d been waiting for him to look at me. Even if he didn’t smile, it was fine with me. In this love, not only

had I lost to you, but I’d also lost myself. Now my reputation has even been ruined by the man I’ve liked

for so many years. I deserved it, right? By the way, I lied to you about him returning the information to

me. I just wanted to provoke you. I seemed to have succeeded, but it also brought me consequences

that I can’t bear.”

Natalie thought that once someone was blinded by vanity and power, they would not come to their

senses easily. They would only regret their past actions when they were destroyed, but it would have

been too late by then.

Listening to Mia’s self-deprecation and explanation, Natalie finally lost her composure. However, she

did not know if it was

else. true or not. “Everyone thinks that they are beautiful and kind. They will not admit that they are

inferior to anyone They only see the ugly and vulgar side of others, but they can’t see other people’s

merits. Even if they do, they will choose to ignore them automatically. It’s not just you. This is normal

and common. A woman doesn’t have to be loved by a man. You treat me as an imaginary enemy.

Trevon doesn’t like me. Sooner or later, we would have divorced. You were merely a little impatient.”

Mia smiled. “It looks like you’re not that clear-sighted. At least, you don’t have a clear judgment of men.

You’ll know. Thank you for listening to my explanation today. I don’t expect to be forgiven by you, and I

don’t need you to help me persuade Mr. Wilson to let me off.”

Yes, Natalie did not choose to forgive Mia. Natalie was not a saint. She would not be moved and feel

pity for Mia just because of her explanation.

If everyone could be forgiven easily for their mistakes, there would not be any prisoners in prison.
