Chapter 238
Timothy narrowed his eyes. “What’s your connection with Mia?”
“Heh, whatever connection I have with her is none of your concern. But remember this, young
man, she’s not someone you can pursue. Stay away from her!”
Connor decided to be straightforward. After all, it would be better for everyone to be open and
transparent with each other.
The atmosphere in the hall grew tense for a moment.
Timothy adjusted his tie. “Dr. Lane, you’re too overbearing. Grandma entrusted me with taking
care of Mia, so her matters are my responsibility.”
Dominic couldn’t contain his volatile temper upon hearing this. Timothy was already engaged to
Maya. Did he still want to have it both ways?
Timothy’s face remained stern, showing no signs of yielding.
Dominic was furious. He stood up, seized Timothy’s collar, and declared, “What’s with that
attitude? Retract what you just said, or I’ll break your damn legs today!”
Dominic couldn’t comprehend how Timothy had the audacity to openly express his interest in Mia!
Timothy’s gaze was arrogant and defiant. “No retractions,” he shot back.
Speaking in a cold tone, Connor addressed Timothy, “Do you even think you deserve Mia? Initially.
I was reluctant to consent to Grandma Laura’s surgery.
“I don’t usually go out of my way for people I dislike, and you happen to be one of them. However,
Mia pleaded with me, so I reluctantly agreed.”
Timothy stared at him in shock, and after a moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, “Are you telling
me that Mia begged you to perform the surgery on my grandmother?”
“Yes, that’s right. I agreed to operate on Grandma Laura out of consideration for Mia. It’s solely
because of Mia’s plea.
“After all, Grandma Laura has looked after Mia before, and I’m not one to disregard gratitude. So, I
consented to the surgery!”
Timothy’s body seemed to freeze, his mind going blank.
His trembling lips managed to utter, “Isn’t it because of Maya that you agreed to perform the
Connor promptly denied, “No, it’s not.”

Timothy felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He sank onto the sofa, propping
himself up with one hand, and stared at Connor with a weighted gaze.
All along. Timothy had assumed it was because of Maya.
He never anticipated that it was due to Mia’s plea that Connor agreed to perform the surgery on

Why hadn’t Mia disclosed this information?
Indeed, that morning when Timothy overheard Connor’s conversation with Maya, it hinted at a close
relationship between them, especially considering they were together so early in the morning.
The mere thought weighed heavily on Timothy’s chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Sensing Timothy’s peculiar reaction, Connor wondered if he had crossed a line.
Unable to contain himself, Connor spoke up. “Timothy, Mia might not have shared this with you earlier,
but now that you’re aware, I urge you to keep your distance from her in the future. Don’t get
too close!”
Timothy’s voice was strained as he replied, “I cannot agree to that condition.”
“Whether you agree or not is inconsequential. The successful execution of the surgery for your
grandmother lies solely within my capabilities, and her health cannot endure any delays.
“If you still have an ounce of respect for her, you’ll comply!”
Initially, Connor considered it undignified to resort to such tactics to threaten people.
However, for Mia’s sake, he had thrown aside such reservations.
Dominic sneered, “Mia’s association with individuals from the Barrett family is bound to bring her
misfortune. Every time she faced trouble in the past, wasn’t it somehow connected to your family?
“If you hold her in such low regard, why entangle yourself with her once again?”
Timothy suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Upon careful reflection, everything Dominic said seemed undeniably true!
Timothy rose slowly, directing his gaze toward the three Lane brothers in front of him.
