Chapter 132

Mia wore a perky expression, assuring Dominic that it was a small cold, not a terminal illness.

Nevertheless, her family’s concern gave her warmth.

After the video call ended, she lay in bed to rest. But sleep didn’t find its way to her.

She took her phone out, scrolling through her WhatsApp only to find a message from Timothy.

It went unnoticed by her because she was talking to her family.

Completely aware of the need to keep the show going in front of Laura, she replied, “Noted.”

Mia shut her eyes, recalling the wedding dress she saw at Maya’s place. The white color was a sore to

Mia’s

eyes.

Fortunately, one month wasn’t that long.

It would be over soon.

The next day, Mia headed straight to the private hospital where Laura was staying.

Gina’s message slid into the notification when Mia got into a cab. “Mia, you’re the person with the mask

on,

aren’t you?

“And you told me that you have nothing to do with the famous actor. I gave you that tote bag for your

last

birthday.”

That message caused a sense of trepidation.

Mia clicked the trending article. As she guessed, she was involved in a scandal with that famous actor

again!

“After the Shooting Wraps Up, the Award–Winning Actor Returned to Home Sweet Home Alongside

With His

Girlfriend”

With a single glance at the picture, she could tell that it was taken outside the neighborhood.

Now, the award–winning actor suddenly had a girlfriend without his knowledge!

Mia didn’t know what to feel about it anymore.

She explained her stance before this, but now, she simply wanted to let it be.

Truths were always mixed with made–up stories in the show business anyway. No one would take it

seriously.

“Mia, I’m not the only one who recognizes you. Our classmates are asking whether it’s you or not.”

Mia let out a soft sigh as she read the message, relieved that she wore a mask when leaving the

hospital.novelbin

Otherwise, she would’ve been on the chopping board!

Then, she retweeted the article on Twitter. “It’s time to lay my cards on the table–that’s right, I’m his

girlfriend.”

The number of likes increased in a short time.

The majority took it as a joke instead of taking her words at face value. They merely thought that she

resembled the woman in the picture.

It was as Mia had expected.

After all, why would a huge celebrity like him go out with a non–show business personality like her?

She strolled out of the elevator, noticing a tall man standing by the corridor. He was in the middle of a

discussion with a doctor.

Her steps faltered for a moment before slowly walking toward them.

Heath saw her and informed Timothy, “Mr. Barrett, she’s here.”

Timothy looked over his shoulder, eyeing her. He narrowed his eyes. “You’re late.”

“You told me to come in the morning. You didn’t give me a specific time,” Mia readily countered back.

Now that he was going to marry Maya, she wouldn’t hold her sharp tongue back at his infuriating tone.

He pursed his lips. “I knew it. You found another target. The way you talk to me is different.”

“What do you mean?”

“Playing dumb? Who’s that rude male doctor from yesterday? What kind of relationship do you have

with him?”

Her eyes widened. It turned out that Timothy misunderstood her relationship with Connor.

Mockery was evident in her eyes as a smile spread across her lips. “Mr. Barrett, I know you’re a busy

man, but not a busybody. Am I wrong?”

“It’s just a friendly reminder from me. A reminder not to misunderstand that doctor’s intention. He is

quite popular in the hospital, especially among the female doctors, nurses, and patients.

“He treats you well simply because he wants to hook up with you.”

Mia almost burst into laughter at that. “I’m glad to hear that. That means he’s nice. That’s why a lot of

people are vying for him.”

She couldn’t understand why Connor was still single despite his popularity and made a mental note to

ask him when she returned home.

She turned around. “I’m going to see Grandma now.”

“Wait. Take the prenatal test first before you go.”

Her expression slightly changed at the mention of the prenatal test.
