Chapter 3: Can You Pick Me Up?
Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
The little girlâs voice was extremely weak and carried a trace of imperceptible numbness, like a puppet.
...
The expressions of the Walton family members changed drastically!
With a bang, the teacup in Old Master Waltonâs hand fell. Everyoneâs throat seemed to be choked, and for a moment, no one could make a sound. The tender voice on the other end of the phone continued, like the last words of a dying person. âLittle Uncle, Mia is so cold, so hungry⊠Mia didnât push anyone, but they didnât believe me and didnât listen to Mia⊠Dad asked Mia to kneel outside and apologize, but Mia didnât do anything wrong. Little Uncle, Mia is so cold. Can you pick me up?â At the end of the sentence, the little girlâs voice became weaker and weaker, almost like a murmur. The wind and snow on the other end of the phone were still whistling, but the girlâs tender voice suddenly stopped.
Andrew finally reacted. He grabbed his phone and wished he could crawl into the device. âHello? Mia! Mia, where are you? Tell Little Uncle where you are!â
There was no response on the other end of the line for a long time. Old Master Walton stood up in a panic, and his stern expression disappeared. He shouted anxiously, âQuick, get someone to check the location of this phone number!â

Before she could finish, she fainted, and the phone fell on the snow. After a long time, Jonathan came to find his phone. Seeing that she was lying in the snow motionlessly, he raised his foot and kicked her. Seeing that there was no reaction from Amelia, he said in annoyance: âDead? Youâre better off dead!â
Four years ago, Jonathan picked up a woman. The womanâs clothes were in tatters, and he took her back to the apartment out of kindness, and the woman was quite pretty after washing up. When he asked, she didnât remember anything. He thought she was cute, so he coaxed her for a long time like a young man in love. He said that he wouldnât force her to be with him, and he took care of everything for her. Thinking of those things now, Jonathan felt disgusted. She was a wandering beggar, and she might have slept with someone when she was wandering. Otherwise, why didnât Amelia look like him at all? However, although Jonathan was suspicious, he never did a paternity test, because if he found out that she wasnât his biological daughter, he would become a joke and the most embarrassing man in Bradford City!
Jonathan took his phone and left. He kept making calls in the warm study. âHello, President Wilson, itâs Jonathan Miller. Do you know anyone from the Walton family in Buffalo?â
âHello, President OâBrian! Happy New Year, President OâBrian. I heard that you have some contact with the Walton family in Buffalo, right? My company ran into some trouble recently. Can I trouble youâŠâ
The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger, and Amelia lay on the ground. Time passed by slowly, and it was going to be dark soon. Amelia was dizzy and there was still a sliver of consciousness left, but she couldnât open her eyes no matter what. Ever since her mother died, she hadnât cried. No matter how much her father beat her, or how much her new mother bullied her, she didnât cry, but she suddenly felt like crying. She called her little uncle, but there was no sound on the other side of the phone, so her little uncle didnât want her, right? No one liked her in this world. What about her mother? After she died, would her mother hate her and not want her either?
Ameliaâs lips were blue, her small hands gripping at the snow. âMom, Mia wonât cry. Mia is a good girl, so please donât abandon MiaâŠâ
At this moment, the ground shook and rumbling sounds could be heard. Seven to eight black cars rushed over from outside the Miller familyâs villa. The door of the first car opened and a man in a black coat got out. He kicked open the Miller familyâs door!
The snowstorm was very strong, and the white snow covered Ameliaâs young body. Andrew looked around anxiously. He remembered that Mia said on the phone that she was kneeling outside! Suddenly, his expression changed, and he saw an inconspicuous snow pile in the snow!
Andrew rushed over and swept the snow away in a panic. He saw the small figure buried in the snow.
âMia?â Andrew hurriedly picked her up. After seeing Ameliaâs appearance, he was positive that this was their Walton familyâs child! Because this face was exactly the same as when his little sister was young! Mia really was the child of their most cherished younger sister!
