Mia's POV

Alice sat in the harsh fluorescent light, like a child waiting for punishment.

The silence between us stretched thin, punctuated only by the distant sound of metal doors closing somewhere in the building's depths.

I studied her face—so similar to mine in bone structure, yet carrying a softness that spoke of a different kind of life.

"How old are you, Alice?"

"Twenty-three." She tucked a strand of badly cut hair behind her ear. "I know that doesn't excuse anything. I know being young and stupid isn't a defense."

"No, it's not." I said. "But it's context."

Alice's eyes flickered up to mine, searching. "I've thought about you every day since it happened. About your children. About how terrified they must have been." Her voice cracked. "I keep seeing that little boy's face when he realized I wasn't really you. He looked so confused, so scared."

"Ethan."

"Is that his name?" Alice's hands twisted in her lap. "He was trying to protect the others, wasn't he? Even though he was scare

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 396 Mom's coming

    Mia's POVThe fluorescent lights in Kyle's hospital room hummed.That sound you don't notice until someone mentions it, and then you can't stop hearing it.Sophie was the first to move, gathering her scarlet coat from where it had pooled on the floor during all the drama. She smoothed it over her arm."I should go," she announced. She moved to Kyle's bedside. She leaned down and kissed Kyle's forehead."You will try," she said quietly. "Yes?""I'll try.""Good. Because if you die after making those beautiful children promise to help you live, I will never forgive you. I will hunt you into the afterlife and make your ghost life miserable."Kyle smiled. "Noted."She straightened, turned to me. "Mia, ma chérie. Call me if you need anything. Food, money, someone to yell at—I am available for all services.""Thank you, Sophie.""I mean it. Anything." She looked at the children. "And you three—the small generals—you were very wise today. Keep being wise. The world needs more wise small peop

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 395 Aye

    Mia's POVKyle was trying not to laugh. I could tell by the way his shoulders were shaking and the careful blankness of his expression. Morton had given up on trying not to laugh and was actually grinning, one hand over his mouth.Scarlett caught my eye and mouthed: "What just happened?"I shook my head. I had no idea."Now," Alexander continued, apparently not done with his role as peace negotiator, "we need to have a meeting. About Kyle and the doctor and what happens next.""A meeting?" Morton asked."A family meeting. That's what we do at home when there are important decisions to make. Everyone sits in a circle and we talk about our feelings and then we vote.""We're not voting on Kyle's medical treatment," I said quickly."Why not? It's democratic.""Because democracy doesn't apply to healthcare, buddy.""That seems like a flaw in the system."Ethan climbed back onto the bed, settling himself next to Kyle. "Alexander likes to vote on everything. Last week he wanted to vote on wh

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 394 Good job, grown-ups

    Mia's POVI can't figure out why Sophie and Thomas seem to hate each other.But I know that when people are under pressure, they're more likely to say things they'll regret.The elephant in the room, right?Everyone's afraid Kyle will suddenly die. Gone.Sophie had the grace to look ashamed. "You are right. I apologize.""I apologize too," Thomas said."Good." I looked at the children. "Do you three want to explain to everyone what Dr. Norbu actually said? Since there seems to be some confusion about whether Kyle is dying immediately or not."Alexander brightened. "He's not dying immediately! The wizard doctor said his immune system is like a fire that's burning the house instead of keeping it warm, and they're going to try to make the fire smaller by opening windows and using herbs and fixing his guts.""He also said," Ethan added, "that Western medicine tries to pour water on the fire by suppressing the immune system completely, but that's like damaging the house as much as the fire

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 393 That's a bad word

    Mia's POVThe door had barely closed behind Dr. Norbu when it burst open again.Scarlett came through first, moving faster than I'd seen her move since college when she'd sprinted across campus because someone said there were free samples at the new frozen yogurt place. Her red hair flew behind her like a banner, her coat half-on, half-off, one arm still tangled in the sleeve.Behind her came Morton.Morton, who never ran. Morton, who I'd once watched receive news that his company's stock had dropped fifteen points in an hour with nothing more than a slight tightening around his eyes.Morton's eyes were red.Actual red, like he'd been crying, or trying very hard not to cry, or had given up on trying not to cry somewhere between the parking lot and the eighth floor.He didn't stop at the doorway. Didn't pause to assess the situation or check if this was an appropriate time to enter or exchange polite greetings.He went straight to Kyle's bed."Jesus Christ," Morton said, his voice roug

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 392 Let go of the guilt

    Mia's POV"How old are you?" Alexander asked suddenly."Very old. Ninety-two years.""That's older than Mama's grandma was when she died.""Yes. I am old as mountains, as they say. Though mountains are actually much older than me.""Why aren't you dead yet?""Alexander!" I said, mortified.But Dr. Norbu laughed. "It is a good question! Honest. Children should ask honest questions. Adults forget how." He looked at Alexander seriously. "I am not dead yet because I am not finished learning. The universe is very patient with students who still have homework to do.""What homework?""Oh, many things. How to make perfect momos. How to pronounce English words without sounding like a yak is stuck in my throat. How to help people who are very sick and very scared."Ethan's analytical mind clearly working. "You said Western medicine tries to stop the immune system. But stopping it completely would be bad too, right? Because then Kyle would get sick from regular germs.""Excellent thinking! Yes,

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 391 The Man Who Smiled at Time

    Mia's POVDr. Tenzin Norbu stood in the doorway like something that had walked out of a children's book.Mysterious travelers appeared at inn doors during snowstorms and turned out to be something more than they seemed.He was shorter than me by several inches. His burgundy robes looked hand-woven, the kind of fabric that had weight and texture, not the smooth synthetic stuff you'd find in costume shops. Prayer beads wrapped around his left wrist, wooden and worn smooth by decades of fingers.But it was his face that held me.His face, not young, but not old in the way hospitals made people old—that gray exhausted look of bodies giving up. His skin had the color and texture of well-loved leather, creased at the corners of his eyes and mouth in ways that suggested he'd spent more time smiling than frowning. White hair cropped close to his skull. And those eyes—dark as river stones but somehow full of light, like they were backlit by something I couldn't see."I am Dr. Tenzin Norbu," he
