Chapter 689
Mia had looked into the Barrett family’s background, but all she found was information about Laura’s illness. The reasons behindher vegetative state remained a mystery.
What was clear, though, was that Laura’s deterioration had started around the time Mia left the Barrett family four years ago.The timing of these two events sparked Mia’s suspicions, suggesting a possible connection between them.
Meanwhile, Shelly, still reveling in her newfound designer bag, spoke candidly, “It’s all because of Tim’s awful ex-wife. She’s theone responsible for Grandma’s condition. Initially, Grandma was recovering well from her surgery, but then everything took a turnfor the worse.”
Upon hearing the mention of the “awful ex—wife,” Mia’s expression turned cold. “Is that so? Please, enlighten me. How exactlydid this ex-wife contribute to Mrs. Barrett Senior's condition?”
Just as Shelly was about to speak, her gaze met Monalize’s, whose features bore a striking resemblance to Mia's.Shelly abruptly went quiet, guilt flickering in her eyes. Speaking with Monalize felt eerily similar to conversing with Mia herself.
Despite this, Shelly was determined not to abandon the limited edition bag she had just acquired. She mustered a forced smileand asked, “Monalize, what piques your interest about the past?”
Could this woman truly be Mia?It seemed implausible. Mia was supposed to be dead, and no one dared to utter her name in Timothy's presence.
Mia responded with a cryptic smile, “Well, Mr. Barrett mentioned that his ex-wife bears a striking resemblance to me, sonaturally, I’m curious about their history.”
Shelly breathed a sigh of relief. That explained it. Surely, this gracious woman standing before her couldn’t possibly be Mia.
At that moment, Luna arrived at the hospital. Rushing out of the elevator, she spotted Shelly standing with Monalize, yet the boxcontaining the reishi mushrooms was nowhere in sight.
