Alla chuckled, about to persuade Mia further, when she saw George send a text message: [Ms. Barton, don't worry, I will coax Mia to go to school.]
Alla typed a reply to George: [Dr. George, if Mia really wants to stay with Gordon Collins for a while, then please take good care of her and make sure she isn't hurt.]
George quickly responded: [Actually, Gordon Collins is quite fond of Mia, you can rest assured.]
Alla stared at the brief message for a long while before responding with a simple 'okay'.
Initially, Gordon Collins had been unkind to Mia, but later on, he seemed to have accepted the presence of this little girl.
Perhaps having Mia by his side would gradually help him get over the grief of losing his sister and embrace a new life.
Holding this thought, Alla sat at the desk, zoned out for a while, then put down her phone and got up to find Maggie.
