Chapter 134
“At least you have a conscience.” Sharon then shifted her gaze to Timothy.
“Tim, Maya told me that her brother is in Bern City. Let’s have dinner together. We can discuss your
marriage,
too.
“After all, neither dour families is an ordinary family. We should talk about it thoroughly.”
Timothy looked in Mia’s direction expressionlessly.
She didn’t look back. Not even once.
Self–mockery dimmed his eyes. It didn’t bother her whether the engagement was real or fake.
After all, she found herself another man anyway–not to mention that there were two men! She was
handling it
with ease.
In fact, it should be good news for him because she wouldn’t have the time to pester him.
However, he wasn’t as happy as he expected himself to be.
Sharon turned to face Mia angrily. “Hey, you better not come to the hospital that often! Timothy is going
to
marry Ms. Lane soon. They are the perfect in–laws for us!”
A forced smile was plastered on Mia’s face. “I know. You don’t have to repeat that so many times.
People might mistake you as a parrot.”
She glanced at him again, meeting his eyes.
The determination in her eyes was flaring.
The elevator door closed, thwarting that shrewd and intimidating eye fight.
Only then did she lean against the wall inside the elevator, letting that snicker loose across her lips.
She was mocking herself.
Everything would be over for good once the surgery was done at the end of the month.
The weight perched on her heart all the way home.
Connor came out from the kitchen. “Mia, I made you chicken soup. The results are out. You need the
nutrients.”
She quickly pulled his arm. “Keep it down!”
“Relax. Aunt Patricia isn’t here.”
“Alright.” A sigh of relief escaped from her.
“Is there a problem with the prenatal test result?”
“The baby’s fine. The biggest problem is that you’re a little malnourished. You should eat more.”
Mia saw the bowl of soup on the table. It smelled good.

She gulped it down to her heart’s content. It was delicious!
She glanced at the tabletop. “Connor, your phone is ringing again. Did something happen at the
hospital?”
Connor grabbed the phone and gave it a glimpse. It was a phone call from Maya.
He placed the phone down indifferently. “I receive calls all the time. Just ignore it. I need a break from
work.”
“What if it’s an emergency?”
“If so, they would’ve called me through the landline.”
He knew the reason behind Maya’s call, but he didn’t want to take that surgery upon himself.
It was not like he was the only doctor who existed.
Besides, he didn’t want to marry her off to Timothy, disliking the idea of his family getting acquainted
with the Barretts.
Meanwhile, Mia bought his words as she enjoyed how he pampered her with the food.novelbin
Initially, she was worried about her looking after the baby alone in the future.
However, Connor’s reliable presence willed that concern away.
He unobtrusively glimpsed at his phone, which showed the many missed calls.
He didn’t answer the call until the end.
Frustration was slowly clawing its way up in him.
Were the Barretts that special? He had made himself clear to Maya, but why wouldn’t she just give up
on Timothy? He was even a divorced man!
He even had lingering feelings for Mia! He brought her to the hospital on purpose and hired a
caretaker. A player like him was a douchebag!
On the other side, Maya’s phone was on the brink of dying from the incessant phone call attempts.
She stood outside a private lounge, the color on her face drained from all the anxiety. “Why is Connor
not picking up the phone? Did you look for him at the hospital?”
