Chapter 14
By the time Ethan and the others arrived with the second ransom payment, the police had already taken Mira’s body to the morgue.
Ethan stared blankly at the place where Mira had died, and finally, tears streamed down his face.
Damon and Lucas also looked pained. After all, she was the sister they had once doted on.
Only then did they realize that Mira’s life could be so fragile.
“Ethan, we can’t bring the dead back to life p>
But not a single one of them felt that choosing to save Mara first had been a mistake.
What surprised Mira was that Julian, the one who usually hated her the most and always wanted to punish her, was banging on the morgue doors like a madman.
“Mira, wake up! You’re not allowed to run away p>
After returning home, he had a complete falling out with Mara and started sabotaging her at every turn.
But what did that matter?
When Adrian chose to save Mara first, hadn’t he stayed silent?
He had even said, “Mira is tougher; she can handle a little more suffering p>
After returning, Lacey didn’t spoil Mara as much as before and would often cry while holding a picture of Mira.
But what did that matter?
The kidnapping was Mara’s scheme from start to finish. She had actively conspired with the kidnappers.
Doubling the ransom was also Mara’s idea, something they had planned in advance.
However, the kidnappers killing their hostage was not part of their plan.
Once a life was lost, the situation escalated dramatically.
Their goal was only money; none of them wanted to offend a colossal power like the Mercer family.
Every wealthy family had its own network of influence.
It was Mara who wanted Mira dead. On her way back after being rescued, she had secretly called the police, which led to the kidnappers killing the remaining hostage.
“Mira, wake up, wake up p>
Mira was shaken awake by Celine and Liora. All she could see was white.
“Am I in the hospital p>
“You really scared us last night. You just suddenly fainted. An ambulance brought you to St. Meridian Medical Center p>
St. Meridian Medical Center was the best hospital in Melvion City and also where Mira’s Lucas worked.
“You were severely dehydrated and had low blood sugar.
Last night, they gave you some glucose water and two IV drips.
The doctor said you’re still weak and should rest in the hospital for a few days to recover p>
“Alright p>
She had a tough fight ahead of her after being discharged, so it was better to get her strength back first.
Liora picked up a container. “You

My mom made oatmeal
and
over early this morning p>
“Please thank your mom for me. And thank you both p>
Having friends like them was a true blessing in this life.
“Do we really need to say thank you between us?” “Exactly p>
“My mom
anted to bring food too, but since Mrs Bennett had a ne
prepared some, she didn’t come p>
“Please thank her for me too p>
“There you go again with the thank yous p>
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop p>
Then, one of them helped Mira sit up while the other picked up a spoon, ready to feed her.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I can do it. I’m not so weak that I can’t even eat p>
“Just say what you want to say. Don’t hesitate. I can handle anything p>
Mira said, noticing their hesitant expressions.
“It’s about my family, isn’t it p>
The two nodded.
“We didn’t want to upset you, but we think you need to know,” Liora explained. Celine nodded in agreement.
“Your mom is actually in the room next door. After you fainted yesterday, Mara fainted too.
She’s been with that scheming witch from last night until now and hasn’t come to see you once p>
“It’s fine. I gave up on that family a long time ago p>
“Also, your second brother is personally treating Mara. He hasn’t come over to our side at all p>
“Good. That saves me from owing him any favors p>
“Exactly. It’s not like he’s the only doctor in the world,” Celine said indignantly.
“What about the rest of my family p>
“They all came to the hospital last
doctor
neither of you had any
they probably left after the
serious problems.
“Your brother Ethan came by to check on you. He asked if we needed to hire a
nurse, but we refused p>
“Oh, and he left a credit card. Said it was for living expenses.
Mira, we’ll cover your expenses. Don’t use his money p>
“This whole mess happened because they punished me for no reason. I might as
well use their money p>
Mira casually took the card.
“That’s true p>
“Mira, I have some good news for you p>
