You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 364

Rodney, on crutches, laboriously walked down the hallway fast, stumbling from anxiety.

"Mia, where are you? Mia!"

His voice echoed in the empty corridor.

Suddenly, he was unsteady on his feet and nearly fell. Luckily he was steadily held by Cecelia, who was coming towards him.

"Daddy, look out." Cecelia heard Rodney shouting from afar, and he sound unusual and urgent, shouting Mia's name, so she rushed towards the source of the voice.

Fortunately, she arrived in time to avoid Rodney's fall.

Rodney was old, and a fracture would be a big problem.

"Oh, Cecelia. Quickly! Quickly help me find her!" Rodney squeezed Cecelia's arm hard, looking eager and flustered.

The force was so strong that Cecelia couldn't help but frown in pain.

"Dad, what are you looking for?"

"Mia! I just saw Mia, literally, right over there." Rodney pointed to the middle of the hallway.

"She was accidentally bumping into me and holding me steady, and when she looked up, I got a good look at her. I was so shocked that I didn't have time to react, and when I came back to my senses, she was gone. Quickly, quickly, you help me find her!" Rodney was so anxious that he kept hitting the ground with his cane.

Charlotte had never seen Rodney so nervous, and she hid behind Cecelia in fear.

Cecelia laughed and softly soothed Rodney, "Daddy, how can that be? You must be mistaken."

"No, it's impossible to be wrong, it's really Mia! I saw it with my own eyes! If you don't believe me, I'll go find her myself!" Rodney shook off Cecelia with force, stubbornly turned around and walked away.
