Chapter 283
Mia raised her head to see Timothy standing not far from them. His eyes held a dark glint.
Her breathing hitched.
What was Timothy doing here? This was such bad timing.
If Connor saw Timothy, things would go out of control.
The quick–witted Mia yanked Connor’s arm over, preventing him from seeing Timothy in the corridor.
An idea crossed her mind. “Connor, I almost forgot to ask you something. How is Mrs. Barrett Senior
doing? Why are you the one examining her today?”
That question caught him off guard and pricked at his guilty conscience. “D–Didn’t I tell you that I have
to participate in the surgery because her case is complicated? A surgery such as hers requires an extra
set of hands. We can help out immediately in case of emergencies.”
Mia could vaguely remember him saying that. In that case, it was normal for him to show up there.
He let out a wry cough to hide his guilt. “Now that you’ve brought it up. I just remembered that I have a
meeting to attend. It’s regarding Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery.”
Connor turned and walked away as soon as he finished. Mia’s heart rose to her throat.
Timothy was still here!
But when she went over to check the corridor, there was no sign of Timothy’s shadow.
Where was he?
A wave of relief willed the tension away. She spoke up. “Connor, will her surgery proceed as
scheduled?”
“Of course. Why ask?” A slight nervousness tinged his face.
Did Mia spot something amiss?novelbin
She contemplated for a moment. “Connor, I heard that the doctor in charge of the surgery is a great
doctor in Nord City. And that his sister–Maya–likes Timothy. Anyway, a lot of things. happened and I
thought the doctor wouldn’t agree to perform the surgery himself.”
He knew what she was implying.

Timothy called off the engagement with Maya because Connor revealed that he agreed to perform the
surgery because of Mia.
It actually served as a warning for Timothy to stay away from Mia.
Yet, Connor didn’t expect them to be a married couple. If Connor had known that, he wouldn’t have told
Timothy the truth. Never!
Connor rued that day so much.
Had he known their relationship sooner, he wouldn’t have intervened in the Barrett family’s matters. He
would’ve taken Mia away from Nord City.
“Don’t worry, Mia. A famous doctor is in charge of her surgery. I promise,” he glossed it over.
“Will that famous doctor attend the meetings with other doctors?”
That question stunned him, rendering him speechless.
He stammered over his words. “Why ask, Mia? Perhaps you want to meet him?”
What if Mia wanted to meet the famous doctor? What should he do?
Hire an actor?
She shook her head. “Nope, just asking. It doesn’t matter if I get to meet him. What matters most
is that the surgery is successful.”
That famous doctor was Maya’s brother. If Mia showed herself, he might hate her and things
could go south.
What should she do when that happens?
Mia hoped everything could go smoothly.
Connor was relieved when Mia claimed that she didn’t want to meet him.
That was for the best.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain the situation to her.
