CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 397: KOA’S CONFESSION - REQUESTING VOTES (7)

"The doctor said my right ear is going to be deaf." Mia Ginger looked at him and suddenly spoke.

Koa Jackson was taken aback and said solemnly, "No, it won’t."

"It really will be deaf." Mia stood still, looking up at him, bewildered, "My ear is buzzing, I can’t seem to hear what others are saying, what should I do?"

"Are you scared?" Koa stopped walking too, asking her seriously.

"Not scared, I still have one side that can hear." Mia frowned and thought for a moment, muttering, "But like this, I feel even less worthy of you."

Koa’s heart trembled, and suddenly he picked her up and held her in his arms.

Mia was startled, feeling both awkward and embarrassed, she grabbed his collar and wanted to jump down.

Koa tightened his arms around her, hooking her backpack with one hand, and said as he walked, "I’ve already said, whether you’re worthy or not is for me to decide, not you. I say you are worthy, so you are. There’s no girl in this world more worthy of me than you. Don’t say such discouraging words in the future."

"..." Mia shrank in his arms, glancing at the passersby pointing fingers, murmuring, "Please put me down."

"No." Koa remained expressionless.

"A lot of people are watching us." Mia’s face was burning red.

Koa remained indifferent, "Let them watch."

"..." Mia looked at his expressionless face, swallowed her tongue, and couldn’t speak.

Koa carried her all the way to the office.

From the security guard uncle to the department’s doctors and nurses, everyone who saw them was shocked.

Just after work, many eyes turned towards his office.

With a "bang", the door was closed from the inside.

——

Mia was tiny and thin.

No weight at all.

Koa carried her all the way and didn’t feel tired at all.

Yet he finally sighed in relief, closed the door, and released her.

He let go of her, his shoulder still against her, didn’t stand up, and said softly, "I love you."

Mia froze, at that moment, the blood in her whole body stopped flowing.

She looked up, her eyes fixed on him, bewildered, filled with disbelief, pure to the point of heartbreak.

Koa’s heart melted completely, he raised his hand to cup her face, the corner of his thin lips curling into a faint smile, murmuring, "Are you shocked?"

"No." Mia said stiffly, "I want to hear it again."
