Chapter 339
Realizing that her number was blocked, Mia was so stunned that she couldn’t speak.novelbin
Would anyone believe this? That her cousin’s girlfriend actually blocked her number?
Claude must have been in the middle of something. That was why he wasn’t aware of Mia’s messages
and the misunderstanding occurred.
After considering the whole situation, Mia decided to put it at the back of her mind until he was
available.
Even if Mia attempted to explain her stance to the woman, the woman wouldn’t buy it anyway.
Since she had taken leave before coming out of the studio and Claude was busy, what should she
do?
“How about visiting Grandma at the hospital?” she thought.
Then, she hailed a cab to go to the hospital.
Laura was still in the ICU, and no visitors were allowed at the moment. Therefore, all Mia could do was
ask the medical staff about Laura’s condition.
The nurse recounted, “Status showed something abnormal about her blood pressure during the dawn,
but we managed to stabilize her. Her condition is stable right now.”
Mia’s heart surged to her throat at the mention of the critical condition Laura was in. Fortunately,
Laura’s life was no longer in danger.
Mia couldn’t check on Laura herself, so she prayed for Laura.
On her way out of the hospital, Mia ran into Timothy and some doctors at the elevator. A
discussion seemed to be going on.
Timothy raised his head only to be surprised to see her. Calmly, he spoke to the doctors, “Please
inform me if anything happens.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. There’s a team specially assigned to look after Mrs. Barrett Senior. All medical
staff are on shift until her life is out of danger.”
Timothy nodded in response and the doctors dispersed.
Needless to say, Mia had overheard what the doctor said. With the 24/7 surveillance, there
shouldn’t be any issue.

Timothy pursed his lips, “Grandma’s fine now. Don’t worry.” He sounded a little stiff.
She nodded. “Glad to hear that.”
“You’re not working? It’s the weekends.” He recalled that she had to work on weekends.
In fact, someone as talented as Mia wouldn’t have needed to work overtime in his company on the
weekends.
However, she’d rather stay in that small studio. The thought of the owner of the studio perturbed
Timothy.
She paused for a second. “I’ve made up my mind. Studies come before anything. I can earn a living by
accepting orders occasionally, so I don’t have to go to work.”
A crease formed between his brows. “Earn a living? You need money?”
“Yes. We always need money to sustain ourselves. After all, we have to pay bills and cover our
expenses.”
His gaze focused on her for a moment. Then, he fished out his wallet and pulled out a black card.”
Take it.”
Mia gave the black card a glimpse, but she didn’t take it. “No, thank you. I don’t need it.”
“Previously, you didn’t want those assets. But you need money now. If words get out, it’ll tarnish
my reputation.”
She couldn’t understand Timothy’s train of thought. “How do my living circumstances have something
to do with your reputation?”
Was Timothy plotting a scheme?
There was an awkward shift in his expression. “You’re my wife.”
“We’re going to divorce soon.”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re my ex–wife. People might see me as someone stingy toward his ex-
wife. Just take it.”
Mia retreated one step backward. “No. Give up.”
If she accepted his money, what would that make her? Wouldn’t that make her a gold–digger?
Right then, Mia’s phone rang. She cast a glance at the dialer’s name. It was Claude!
Quickly, she answered the call. “Hey, you finally called.”

“Are you Claude’s family?” She paused. “Yes, I am.”
