Mia felt the firm grip of Timothy’s hand, causing her expression to turn somewhat awkward. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

She contemplated pulling her hand back, but Laura steadfastly held their hands together.

“If anything were to happen to me during this surgery, both of you must take care of each other.

“With a child on the way, life can’t go back to how it was before.” Laura uttered, as though entrusting them with her last wishes.

Upon hearing Laura’s words, Mia found herself overwhelmed with emotion. “Grandma, you’ll be okay. After all, you still need to witness the birth of our child.”

Laura smiled contentedly. “Yes, I will witness the birth of this child with my own eyes.”

Mia’s throat tightened slightly. Though everyone assumed she faked her pregnancy to convince Laura to undergo surgery, only she knew the truth–the pregnancy was real.

Beside her, Timothy spoke softly, “Grandma, I will take care of Mia and our child. You don’t have to worry so much.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of mockery appeared in Mia’s eyes.

Wasn’t Timothy supposed to get engaged to Maya tomorrow?

Certainly, his words were misleading.

Glancing at the clock, Laura observed. “It’s getting late. How about you two head out for dinner?

“The hospital food here is bland and lacks the nourishment you need. I won’t insist on keeping you both here to eat with me.”

Mia breathed a sigh of relief. If Laura had insisted on her staying for dinner, she would have struggled to come up with an explanation.

After all, all six of her brothers were waiting at home for her to have dinner.

After Laura released her hand, Mia instinctively attempted to pull away, but Timothy held onto it firmly. refusing to let go.

Mia pressed her lips together, displaying no visible reaction.

Upon exiting the hospital room, Mia once again tried to free her hand, but Timothy remained resolute.

Looking up at him, Mia asserted, “Mr. Barrett, Grandma can’t see us now. There’s no need to keep up the charade.”

Timothy narrowed his eyes and remarked, “I heard they’re signing off on the demolition for your old neighborhood today.”

Mia’s eyes carried a hint of mockery as she replu, “Indeed, Shelly went to great lengths to retaliate against

“However, Optima Construction eventually went bankrupt, though it didn’t impede my family from receiving compensation for the demolition.”

Timothy pressed his lips together, remarking, “Your connections seem surprisingly vast, with quite a few ment

ready to assist you.”

Earlier in the day, he noticed Connor embracing Mia, their connection seemingly quite intimate.

Furthermore, during Timothy’s recent call to Mia, he distinctly heard Connors’s voice, adding to the intrigue.

Wasn’t Mia supposed to be with Linden?

Why did it seem like she was now entangled with another man?

Mia sneered, casting a glance at his tightly held hand. “So, Mr. Barrett, are you feeling a bit jealous?”

Upon hearing this, Timothy’s expression turned somewhat awkward.

He promptly released her hand and responded coldly, “Don’t read too much into it. I’m simply cautioning you about the risks of juggling multiple relationships.

“Sooner or later, it will backfire. If they discover your double–dealing, you might find yourself in a difficult situation.”

“Mr. Barrett, you don’t need to concern yourself with these matters. It’s my affair!”

Timothy’s chilly tone followed, serving as a reminder, “Remember, our divorce isn’t finalized yet.”

“Following Grandma’s surgery next Monday, we will coincidentally be completing the one–month waiting period. By then, I expect you to be punctual for our appointment.”

Witnessing the determination in Mia’s gaze and processing her words, Timothy couldn’t shake the sense that his endeavors were falling short.

His throat constricted slightly as he emphasized. “Remember not to disclose anything before Grandma’s surgery.”

“I understand, but given that you’re getting engaged to another woman tomorrow, Mr. Barrett, do you truly have the authority to caution me about keeping things under wraps?

“Do you think I enjoy bearing the label of being ‘cheated on‘?”

That day, Mia was present at Timothy and Maya’s engagement ceremony. Indeed, the ambiance at such affluent gatherings was noticeably distinct.
