Chapter 5

Today was her birthday. Jason had booked a high-end restaurant early to celebrate with her.

Mia carefully dolled herself up. She wanted to find a red evening gown we had bought together, but she couldn't find it anywhere.

The evening gown was at the dry cleaners. I had taken it there to be cleaned, but because of my sudden illness, I never picked it up.

"That dead Lucas, never good for much except tidying up all day, and now he's lost things and is playing dead with me. He's made me search everywhere and I still can't find it."

She had to wear another dress to go out. Jason had prepared a candlelit dinner for her, and they looked sweet and happy together.

Midway through the meal, Jason received a phone call. On the other end was Jason's ex-wife, saying their child was very sick and hoping he could come to the hospital.

"If you can't come, can you at least send some money? I just paid rent recently, and the doctor says we need to pay a $5,000 deposit for hospitalization. You're not paying child support, and I really have no other option. The child has your blood too, don't you feel bad that he's suffering?"

"Money, money, money. I don't have any money. I'm so broke I can't even pay my phone bill, and you're asking me for money? No child support, if you have the guts, go sue me." Jason angrily hung up the phone and even turned it off.

Who would have thought that Jason, who seemed so refined in public, could be so cold-blooded, not even caring about his own flesh and blood.

When Jason returned to the table, Mia asked who had called. He only said it was something from work, lying without a hint of guilt.

Oh, Mia, Mia, you think you've found the perfect man, but can you really see clearly what's behind this man?
