Chapter 262
Recalling the earlier scene, Connor felt a surge of anger. He had already sensed Timothy’s
questionable intentions toward Mia, and this Incident now confirmed it.
It wasn’t just an inappropriate interest. It appeared to be a clear motive.
Mia coughed lightly. “Connor, I don’t think Timothy meant it that way.”
“What do you mean by ‘not meant it that way‘? Mia, let me be clear, stay away from Timothy in the
future. He’s an older man, divorced, and on the verge of remarrying.
“Aside from having some money, he doesn’t possess any other merits. Don’t let yourself be swayed by
him.”
Mia couldn’t help but feel exasperated at Connor’s advice. “Don’t worry, I won’t fall for him.”
Certainly, the previous lesson had left its mark. She wouldn’t allow herself to be deceived again.

“Good.” Connor sighed in relief.
He was genuinely worried that Mia might be captivated by Timothy’s gallant gestures. After all, most
women tended to be susceptible to such displays.
The medical examination concluded swiftly, and Mia was transferred to a standard ward.
Before long, a lavish meal was delivered, making Mia’s mouth water.
Connor looked perplexed. “I didn’t place this order.”
Entering the ward, Timothy glanced at Mia on the bed and casually stated, “I’ve selected a dish
randomly from the menu. Feel free to indulge in whatever you prefer.”
Mia, with utensils in hand, was caught off guard. She hadn’t anticipated that Timothy had arranged the
meal.
Connor’s mouth twitched, and he turned to Timothy. Sporting a forced grin, he suggested.” Timothy,
Mia needs some rest. How about we step outside for a chat?”
Standing beside them, Timothy quipped, “I don’t think there’s much to talk about.”
After all, he had no interest in engaging in conversation with his romantic rival.
Upon hearing Connor’s words, Mia grew anxious that Timothy might inadvertently disclose something.

It Connor were to discover that she had been expelled from the Barrett family and was now carrying
Timothy’s child, it could result in a significant predicament.
Swiftly, she set down her utensils. “Um, I’d prefer some fruit.”
Connor turned around and spoke in a gentle tone, “Certainly, what type of fruit would you like? I’ll fetch
it for you right away.”
“Any seasonal fruit will do,” Mia replied.
Connor nodded, but as his gaze shifted to Timothy, his expression quickly turned serious. “Mia needs
her rest, so try not to disturb her for too long.”
Timothy was taken aback by Connor’s assertiveness. He felt that Connor had no right to dictate that to
him!
After Connor departed, Timothy remarked with a hint of disdain, “Is he the man you’ve chosen? He
appears to be attentive to your needs and genuinely concerned about your well–being.”
Having regained her composure after a few bites, Mia responded, “I appreciate the compliment. It
seems my choice of men has significantly improved.”
Timothy found himself growing frustrated. Muttering to himself, he conceded, “I shouldn’t havenovelbin
interfered.”
After all, he had no desire to stick around and witness Mia getting close to someone else.
“By the way.” Mia began, casting an awkward glance at Timothy, “there’s something I’ve been meaning
to ask. I heard that your engagement with Maya was called off. Is that true?”
Timothy stood in place, replying nonchalantly, “Yes, it’s true.”
“Now that the engagement is canceled, are there any potential implications for Grandma Laura’s
surgery?
Upon hearing this, a flicker of confusion crossed Timothy’s eyes. Wasn’t it Mia who persuaded
Connor to perform Laura’s surgery?
Why was she raising this concern now?
Just then, the sound of footsteps resonated from outside the hospital room.
Dominic took the lead, forcefully pushing open the door, only to discover Timothy already inside.
The odds were five to one.
Indeed, the tension between the two factions was unmistakable.
