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

    Mia caught on Connor's expression and something seemed off to her. "Connor, you're acting out of character today.""Am I? It's probably because of work," Connor attempted to brush it off. "Go ahead. You have a meeting, don't you? I'll keep Mrs. Barrett Senior company," Mia decided not to pry further. He nodded. "I'll take you to the hospital for a prenatal checkup in the afternoon."Watching her getting close to the Barrett family was the last thing he asked for, but he was aware of how attached Mia could be. Before the Lane brothers began taking care of Mia, Laura looked after her so he couldn't force her to leave Laura.Everything would be settled once he brought her out of Nord City, away from the Barretts.Mia watched Connor take the stairs to the floor beneath. A faint sigh escaped her lips.After washing some fruits, she headed to the patient's room. The door opened the moment she approached the door.Timothy walked out of the room, standing right in front of her. His

    Mia raised her head, studying Timothy. His face reflected in her crystal-clear eyes.They stood in the corridor, where the windows welcomed the warm summer breeze.He saw himself in her eyes, his heartbeat picking up its pace."Mia Bowen, you've become more shameless since we last met a few days ago. Do I look like I have feelings for you?" A quick denial.Despite his steely expression, his eyes wavered. He even tucked at his necktie to mask his mixed feelings."Okay. Then, why do you care so much about my relationship when you don't even like me? Why tell me that those men are bad guys? Don't you think that you're crossing the line as my ex-husband?""That's because you have a bad judgment of character."She nodded in acknowledgment. "You have a point. If I had good judgment of character, I wouldn't have chosen you."Frustration boiled within him as he gritted his teeth. "Don't you regret this, Mia Bowen."He left after saying that.Bitterness reached the tip of Mia's tongue

    Connor nodded. "I'm not the only person involved in this surgery. I hope you guys can cooperate with me."The casual conversation lasted a few moments before the crowd dispersed from the meeting room.Connor was planning to leave when Timothy's steely voice resounded from behind. "Dr. Lane, wait up."Connor pursed his lips at that. He turned around begrudgingly and looked at Timothy coldly. "Anything?"Timothy marched a few steps forward. It was a face-to-face confrontation where no one intended to back off.A moment later, Timothy broke the silence. "Dr. Lane, I'm grateful that you're willing to perform the surgery for my grandmother. But I hope you can keep a safe distance from Mia. She's still my wife.""She's your wife? How shameless of you. The divorce procedure will take place after the surgery, right?"Timothy narrowed his eyes. "I didn't say that before.""Are you going to go against your word, Timothy Barrett?" Connor grabbed Timothy by the collar with a cold expressio

    Timothy, whose pride took a hit, explained with a stiff expression. "I'm worried that Mia's being scammed. Grandma will get worried too. I'm not acting this way solely because of Mia."Heath was speechless.Timothy had the inclination to say things he didn't mean to women sometimes.He had been acting out of character ever since Mia accepted his divorce proposal without any fuss.Mia followed Connor out of the private hospital.Sitting in the passenger seat, she sneaked a peek at him. "Connor, did the meeting go well?""Yes. The surgery is scheduled to happen in three days."The mention of the schedule recentered her, her expression solemn. "Connor, the surgery has to be successful. Mrs. Barrett Senior is important to me.""Don't worry. I'll do my best." Determination flashed in his eyes. For Mia, who was attached to Laura, he would do his best to cure Laura.That way, nothing about the Barrett family would hold Mia back.A grin played on her lips. "Now I'm at peace of mind

    "Why should I? Mia Bowen, you're bearing another man's child, aren't you? Is it this guy? I've got you this time!"Wilhelmina's words struck Mia as absurd. "What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What are you going to do with my stuff?""It's useless to me, but someone else might need it. Shelly is very interested in this. Say, how much will she pay me if I give it to her?"Mia's visage shifted slightly. "This is not Shelly's baby. It's useless if you give it to her. Is getting pregnant against the law? So what if you disclose this information to the public?"Wilhelmina paused because Mia's words made sense. Wilhelmina stole a glance at the ultrasound report. In retrospect, Shelly showed telltale interest the moment Wilhelmina claimed that there was a possibility Mia was pregnant. It was as if this was a huge catch!While Wilhelmina stayed silent, Connor went up to take the report back from her. "Hey, if you have a death wish, I won't hold myself back. Is staying behind

    The duo were at the beauty salon, so Shelly couldn't pick up the call.Now, it was Wilhelmina's turn not answering the call.Shelly gave it a thought for a moment. "Not sure. Wilhelmina—that fool—lost her reputation and job. Who knows if she's lying for money? Getting money is her top priority now."Maya nodded. "That is another possibility. But she wouldn't have said it without a reason, would she?""If Mia's pregnant, could it be Timothy's child? Won't this put you at a disadvantage?" Shelly suggested. Maya's brows furrowed as she didn't share the same notion.After all, Mia had been close with Connor these days, making the possibility of him being the baby's father stand.The guess alone cast a pall of foreboding over Maya. Mia must never get acquainted with the Lane brothers!Something felt off no matter how Maya thought about it. She called her assistant. "Look into Mia's records in the hospital. Check if she's pregnant."If Mia was really pregnant, no matter who the fat

    That was the start of Mia's journey in hacking. Since then, she has made tremendous progress in her learning.Nathan could see through her feeble excuse easily, and he was confident that she was trying to hack into a company's system.He replied calmly, "Easy. Do as I taught you. Huge companies normally have programmers to safeguard their systems. Once they notice their system is hacked, they'll begin the counter. You have to look for a safe firewall for your IP address. That way, they won't be able to track you down.""I have the program you gave me. There shouldn't be any problem.""That can't guarantee anything. I'll send you a new one. This should work."Mia fell silent for a moment. "Thanks, Nathan."Not only did Nathan see through her intentions and keep quiet about it, but he also shared with her a new program."Save it. Hit me up if you're stuck at something.""Okay."Soon after the call ended, he shared a zip file, which she downloaded into a USB drive.The next day,

    Dominic rounded everyone up from the Technical Department as soon as he found out that someone hacked into the subsidiary's internal system.That hacker was either trying his luck or had a death wish!Dominic read the text in his office, infuriated. He never expected someone to test his patience after he expanded a subsidiary in Bern City.Who was this daring hacker? With a grim face, he announced, "You have ten minutes to remove the text and 30 minutes to track down the hacker! Find out who he is and bring him to the team! Otherwise, you'll be fired!"The technical team turned on their computers and began tracking down the hacker.Dominic loosened his tie and instructed his assistant, "Call that Mr. Skimmer over. Just what is going on? Why is a hacker looking for him?"Randy soon found out that things were getting out of hand. He contacted Maya. "Ms. Lane, what are we going to do now? Someone hacked into the company's internal system! Is that family causing trouble on purpose?

    Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
