Chapter 545
"It's alright, Mia. I'm here."
Sarah covered Mia's eyes with her hand, guiding her to the bed and helping her lie down.
"Just relax..."
Under Sarah's gentle care, Mia finally fell into a peaceful sleep. Minutes later, she woke, lucid this time.
Calm now, she looked around at Zachary and William.
"Zachary, Grandpa, Sarah - oh, and Vivian, you're here too?" She brightened at seeing everyone, seemingly with
no memory of her episode.
William studied Sarah intently. He'd brought in many therapists and knew how Mia responded to them. None had
connected like Sarah.
Mia showed an inexplicable trust in Sarah, able to calm instantly at the sight of her.
"Just checking on you," Sarah said softly.
"Sarah..." Mia glanced nervously at Vivian.
She knew well the complicated relationship between Sarah, Vivian, and Zachary. Why were they both here?

She looked at her brother, finding his expression unreadable.
William turned to Vivian warmly. "Vivian, you're here too. Let's have stea."
He gave Sarah a new, appraising look, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. Mia followed close behind Sarah into
the tea room William had specially built.
The butler entered with a rosewood box. "Miss Wilson, Miss Sanders, you're in for
a treat. This is the master's treasured tea - his last box."
Vivian eagerly took it. "Letbrew it. Grandpa William loves my tea."
"This girl," their grandfather smiled indulgently at Vivian.
When the rosewood box opened, a subtle fragrance wafted out. Sarah felt she'd smelled it somewhere before.
As expected of an heiress, Vivian's tea ceremony skills were impeccable. Every graceful movement showed her
classical training, her technique flowing like a master's.
After the ritual washing, the tea's aroma filled the room.
She poured the first cup for their grandfather, naturally.
Serving Sarah, Vivian's words carried hidden meaning, "Miss Sanders, please try it. | rarely serve tea to
outsiders."
The implication was clear - she belonged with the Reynolds family; Sarah was the outsider.
Mia frowned. "But Vivian, I've never had your tea either."
Vivian's eyes flashed cold. "Don't
worry, Mia. You'll hayelentyof'!

Sarah's eyes turned frosty as Mia set down her cup.
Unusually, William remained silent.

"Soon enough." Zachary replied noncommittally.
Her voice was the only one filling the tea room.
Sarah took a sip - Vivian's tea really was excellent.
Their grandfather glanced at Sarah. "Miss Sanders, cto my study."
In the study, he observed her. There

She showed no fear before him. He spoke, "Mia seems quite dependent on you."
