Her father's voice was heavy with age and hardship, so faint it seemed a single straw could muffle it.
Just those two words made Nia Mitchell feel like crying.
"Mhm," she answered gruffly.
She'd initially thought her stepmother was tricking her over the phone, just trying to get her to send some money. After all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. But this time, even her father was on the line, which meant... it was true.
"Can... can you come back home?"
Her father didn't directly ask for money. He couldn't bring himself to ask that outright.
"I can," Nia Mitchell replied, nodding continuously as tears welled in her eyes.
After hanging up, Nia Mitchell wiped her tears, quickly returned to her Office Room, picked up her bag, and left.
This news had completely shattered her. She rushed to the Train Station, bought the first available ticket, and left Capital Town.
Meanwhile, at MC Group, a certain man was still in the dark about everything.
