Mika had never seen Amber before but she remembered Alia, they met recently and her mother got into a trouble because of her. She didn't like them, so she hid her face in Candice's chest and hugged her tightly.
Instead of continuing to sit on her own chair, Mika shifted to Candice's lap completely.
"I don't need your gratitude, therefore, I don't need to tell you where Kia is," Candice said calmly. She didn't seem to show any emotion when she said that, therefore, it was difficult for Amber to know to what extent Candice had known about the issues between her and Kia.
"I don't know what kind of story you have heard, but actually what happened wasn't that bad," Amber said in a low voice, she ignored Alia who was tugging at her sleeve, trying to stop her from speaking. She was not yet finished.
"Not that bad?" Candice repeated. "I'm not surprised that Kia refuses to meet you, as it seems your family has a habit of trivializing the suffering of others."
