Chapter 294
She probably wouldn’t have time to go there once she became busy. She would practice more self- defense techniques taught by Michael at home.
Before Mikayia arrived at the martial arts gym, she received a voice message from Michael.
“Miss, we successfully passed the preliminary audition and went through two more rounds of selection.
We’re now in the top 50!”
Listening to his delighted voice, she was overjoyed for him.
“But we can’t leave yet. We must continue to get into the top 30 of the competition. If everything goes well, the director will allow us to shoot some advertisements.”
Michael continued to share his happiness, “Even though we won’t make a profit, we’ll receive a lot of exposure. We don’t have to worry about not receiving our next advertisement. When the time comes, pay you back!”
Mikayla was amused by him and called him.
“So, you work so hard to make money just to pay off my debt as soon as possible?”
“Of course not!” He explained nervously, “I just…” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Halfway through the explanation, he ran out of things to say, so he shifted the topic. “Miss, I heard from the production team that there will be a party after reaching the top 30. I can invite a friend to
attend it. If I pass the competition, will you come?”
Mikayla giggled. “Of course I will.”
It was a unique experience for her to witness an amateur gradually transform into an idol.
The next day, Mikayla got out of bed. To her surprise, she saw Molly and Wanda’s missed calls. She had muted her phone last night, so she hadn’t heard the calls. She promptly called Wanda back. “Grandma, were you looking for me?”
Wanda nervously requested her to go to Miller Manor. Not knowing what the emergency was, Mikayla
rushed over.
Seeing her, Wanda held her hands eagerly and said straight to the point, “Kay, Jerome’s assistant called me this morning. He said that Jerome has fallen ill while abroad and hadn’t eaten for two days. He still hasn’t gotten better even after taking some medicine and has been lying in the hotel.”
Mikayla unconsciously recalled Jerome’s tone when he had called her yesterday at noon. He had indeed sounded lethargic and coughed from time to time. She thought that he just didn’t sleep well. It turned out
that he was ill.
Wanda appeared worried. “Jerome has a tough temper. He’ll try to tough it out, no matter how uncomfortable he feels. He’s probably not accustomed to Mochuria. If he continues like this, I’m afraid
he’ll collapse.
Mikayla knew that although Wanda often reprimanded Jerome, she loved her grandson, who had grown up beside her.
“Kay, I know you’re very disappointed with Jerome. But Zachary is no longer in Marisville. I can’t travel too far. Could you kindly check on Jerome for me?”
Mikayla would never reject Wanda’s request.
Wanda was already unhealthy. Even if she was in good health, Mikayla wouldn’t let her go overseas alone at such an old age.
She couldn’t help but think of her previous life, in which she cried and begged Wanda to give her a chance
to travel overseas with Jerome.
She desired some alone time for the two of them to rebuild her tarnished image in his heart.
Unexpectedly, she would have such an opportunity in this life. But the situation turned around. Wanda was the one who took the initiative to ask her to go overseas to take care of the ill Jerome.
If she had such a chance in her previous life, she couldn’t imagine how pleased she would have been. She felt melancholy since everything had changed.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Wanda held her hands. “Kay, it’s fine if you’re unwilling. After all, you and Jerome are about to get a divorce. I won’t blame you.”
Mikayla reassured, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll return to get some things first. I’ll book a ticket to go
there.”
Wanda’s voice became slightly choked when she heard that. “Kay, my judgment is always right. You’re
indeed kind.”
After leaving Miller Manor, Mikayla returned to the hotel to get some clothes and booked a flight to
Mochuria.
