Mia had quickly come up with a plausible excuse.
Noticing Connor’s lingering suspicion, she deftly changed the topic, “Connor, how did you figure out it
was
Timothy who accompanied me to the hospital?”
Even though Mia had referenced her role as a caregiver in an affluent household, Timothy had
maintained
discretion on the matter.
So, how did Connor immediately discern that Timothy was the one who had accompanied her?
A flicker of hesitation crossed Connor’s face.
Could it be that Connor was familiar with Timothy due to Maya’s longstanding affection for him?
Naturally, revealing such a connection to his sister was out of the question.
After a brief pause, Connor responded, “The registration and payment details displayed the name
‘Timothy.‘ A single glance was enough for me to recognize it.”
A sudden realization dawned on Mia. She hadn’t been aware that Timothy had also taken care of her
medical
expenses.
She delicately touched her belly, feeling a wave of gratitude for running into Connor. Without his
unexpected appearance, concealing her pregnancy today would have been a challenge.
If Timothy had urged Mia to follow the prescribed medication, she might have felt compelled to disclose
the truth for the safety of her unborn child.
Connor’s attention turned to Mia’s belly. “Mia, are you planning to keep the baby?”
Mia’s hand paused, her resolve evident. “Yes, Connor, I’ve decided to keep this child. I’ll work tirelessly
to make sure we have everything we need.”
“It’s not just about the finances, Mia. Why would you want to keep the child of such a scoundrel?”
“Because, for the first time. I won’t be alone,” Mia confessed.
A sudden pang gripped Connor’s heart. He momentarily shielded his face before regaining his
composure. “If that’s what you truly want, then so be it.”
“By the way, Connor, I haven’t shared my pregnancy with anyone, not even Aunt Patricia. Can you help
me keep it confidential?”
“Of course. And for now, it might also be wise not to inform Dominic. He may be understanding most of
the time, but he can be impulsive. I don’t want him to push you into any hasty decisions about the
pregnancy,” Connor agreed.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but Dominic may have concerns about you taking on the role of a single
mother,” Connor advised.

Mia nodded appreciatively. “I understand, Connor. Thank you.”
For Mia, she wasn’t just facing single motherhood–she was also navigating the complexities of being
an unwed mother.
In many ways, the two roles seemed intertwined.novelbin
Yawning slightly, Mia felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. She shifted her gaze to Connor’s pocket
and remarked, “Connor, noticed your phone lighting up earlier. Did someone try to call you?”
Glancing briefly at his phone, Connor noted a missed call from Maya.
A hint of remorse flickered in his eyes as he casually pocketed the device. “It’s not urgent. Anyway, you
should prioritize staying hydrated and getting some rest.”
Heeding his advice, Mia took a few sips of water before settling down to rest.
Connor lingered nearby. As his gaze drifted momentarily to Mia’s belly, a surge of emotions welled up
within him.
Heaven forbid he ever discovered the identity of the child’s father!
Should the truth come to light, there would undoubtedly be severe repercussions.
The mere thought filled Connor with a boiling rage.
As Genevieve approached the infusion room to speak to Connor, he emerged, interjecting, “What’s the
matter?”
“Dr. Lane, there’s someone here to see you. She claims to be your sister,” Genevieve relayed.
A frown creased Connor’s forehead. “I’m preoccupied now and don’t have the time.”
Connor harbored deep reservations about the Barrett family at the moment.
Just moments ago, Timothy had gone out of his way to accompany Mia to the hospital.
Would someone of Timothy’s status, the heir to such a notable family, involve himself with Mia, a mere
caregiver?
As a man, Connor could discern Timothy’s underlying motives with clarity.
If it were anyone else, Connor might have overlooked it. But when it concerned Mia, the stakes were
entirely different.
How could someone like Timothy be deemed suitable for his sister?
However, just as Connor was about to turn away, he caught sight of Maya emerging from the adjacent
elevator, and their eyes met in a direct gaze.
