Timothy's brows furrowed.
"Where are my secretary and bodyguard?"
"After you arrived at the hospital yesterday, everyone who accompanied you left. They didn't settle the medical fees or provide any contact details, "the nurse explained.
"That's impossible," Timothy retorted.
A sense of unease washed over him.
His staff wouldn't leave without a valid explanation.
Instinctively, he reached under his pillow, but his phone was nowhere to be found.
His phone was supposed to be in Heath's possession, yet both Heath and Joe were conspicuously absent.
Timothy had a strong suspicion about who might be responsible for this situation.
It appeared that the Lane family would stop at nothing to get rid of him.
This was Timothy's first experience with such a predicament.
However, he responded calmly, saying, "Once I'm able to contact them, they'll handle the medical expenses.
Please rest assured, I won't postpone the payment."
Mia stood silently beside them, her thoughts echoing Timothy's suspicions that Heath and Joe had probably been abducted on Claude's orders.
It seemed the goal was to leave Timothy isolated and vulnerable in the hospital.
"I apologize, sir, but due to numerous prior incidents, we require your family to settle the medical expenses immediately, or we'll be forced to discharge you."
Upon hearing this, Timothy suddenly shifted his gaze toward Mia, who stood by the door.
Feeling Timothy's scrutiny, Mia found herself ove
"She's my family," Timothy asserted.
"Can I leave now?"
Mia wondered silently to herself.
with unease.
As she stood by the door, her unease intensified at Timothy's words.
It seemed Timothy was trying to deceive the hospital staff.
With a solemn tone, Mia addressed him, "Mr.Barrett, you cant just manipulate your words. Since when did I become your family?"
Timothy responded earnestly, "You're my girlfriend, isn't that considered family?"
"But we ended things on the plane."
"I didn't agree to it, so as far as I'm concerned, we're still together."
Mia couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.
Timothy was truly insufferable! With a frustrated expression, Mia turned to the nurse and asserted, "Even if I am his girlfriend, I am not his family member. You can't demand money from me!"
Upon recognizing Mia, the doctor quickly adopted a more accommodating demeanor.
"Ms.Lane, we trust your word," he assured.
The nurse echoed, "Absolutely.In today's society, there are far too many gold diggers trying to elevate their status by exploiting influential women.Ms.Lane, rest assured, we won't take his claims seriously!"
Timothy, who had grown up accustomed to wealth and privilege, had never before endured such belittlement.
He had never envisioned a day when others would perceive him as a gold digger.
It was an insult beyond comprehension for him! Clenching his teeth, Timpthy exclaimed, "Mia, NO do you really think I'm the type of person they're describing? Please, explain to them who I truly am!"
Mia rolled her eyes and replied calmly, "People often hide their true Com intentions, spihow am supposed to NO know yours? I made it clear on the plane that our relationship was over, so please stop bothering me.
"Yet, you intentionally approached my brothers and ended up in a confrontation.Who's to blame for that?"
The nurse nodded vigorously.
"Exactly as I suspected. He must be the type to harass Ms.Lane.And now, he can't even cover his medical bills and wants to postpone payment!"
Timothy's anger surged at the nurse's words.
Could the CEO of the prestigious Barrett Group truly be short of such a m trivial amount of money? Observing his reaction, Mia interjected, "Alright, I'll perform a charitable act today and cover his medical expenses. Let's call it even from now on!" Timothy's expression hardened.
"I refuse to break up!"
The doctor intervened firmly, stating, "Your medical expenses have already been taken care of, so please refrain from overstepping your boundaries.
"Ms.Lane, you're truly a kind-hearted and beautiful person. When it comes to choosing a boyfriend in the future, please be discerning and avoid getting entangled with losers."
