Mia gently knocked on the door before stepping into the ward, a warm smile on her face. "Grandma, I've come to see you."

"Mia, you're here bright and early. Have you had breakfast?"

"I've already eaten. Grandma, how are you feeling today?"

Mia noticed that Laura seemed to be in high spirits, indicating that her health was in good condition.

Laura smiled, gently holding Mia's hand.

"I'm doing well. You don't need to worry so much. I'm still eagerly looking forward to your baby's arrival. In my younger years, I confronted numerous challenges. Can a minor issue like this really defeat me?"

With Laura discussing her babies, Mia couldn't help but feel guilty. Despite everyone thinking it was a fabrication, only she knew that she was genuinely pregnant.

After a moment of contemplation, Mia took Laura's hand and gently rested it on her slightly bulging belly. "Grandma, the baby is patiently waiting for you to recover."

Laura glanced at Mia's belly, her eyes slightly welling up. "That'

    Mia was left in disbelief as she looked at the document handed by Laura.The revelation that her unborn child had been formally announced as the heir of the Barrett family moments ago had left her utterly astounded.Despite the initial shock, Mia attempted to reassure herself with the notion that this designation was merely a verbal commitment, subject to change in the future contingent upon Laura successfully undergoing the surgery.Yet, to her astonishment, Laura had gone a step further, not only conceptualizing the arrangement but also preparing an official document. She even insisted on an immediate signature from Timothy.Signing it would mean that the document now carries legal implications.However, Mia remained resolute in her refusal to have her twins take on the role of heirs to the Barrett family.Sharon's eyelids twitched at the sight of the document.Swiftly taking it from Laura's hands, Sharon's anger intensified as she read through the clauses. It was so overwhelm

    Observing Laura growing agitated, Mia hastened to console her.Retrieving the document, she handed it over to Timothy, urging him, "Please, sign it."Mia raised her gaze to meet Timothy's. His eyes were subtly squinted, holding a profound and mysterious depth.Locked in a silent exchange, Mia placed the document into his hands, saying, "For Grandma's sake, please sign it. If you don't, she won't consent to the surgery."Laura let out a disdainful snort. "Exactly. If you refuse to sign it, I won't proceed with the surgery. Even if you manage to get me into the operating room, I'll find a way out."Mia stood alone, aware of Sharon's piercing gaze. If looks could kill, she would have been dead by now.Ultimately, Timothy conceded, taking the document and affixing his signature to it.Observing Timothy's authoritative signature, Mia handed the document to Laura. "Grandma, Tim has signed it. Is everything resolved now?"Satisfied, Laura took the document and placed it in front of Mi

    Witnessing Connor confront Sharon, Mia couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.Sharon's expression tightened. She hadn't anticipated Connor being so straightforward.Could it be that Connor harbored lingering resentment because Timothy called off Maya's engagement the last time?What might unfold next? Would the Lane family consent to Maya marrying into the Barrett family?Shooting a cold glance at Timothy, Connor redirected his gaze toward Mia and informed, "The surgery today is expected to be prolonged."I recommend that family members wait outside until we finalize suitable arrangements. You can take turns being with Mrs. Barrett Senior."Mia understood that Connor had spoken those words with her well-being in mind, advising her to look after herself.Mia had foreseen the prolonged duration of today's surgery. Having secured permission from her university, she was determined to remain at the hospital for the entire day.Connor exited the hospital room soon after.Th

    Was Timothy not concerned about upsetting Maya and the potential impact it could have on Laura's surgery?Sharon quickly intervened, advising, "Tim, Ms. Lane is here specifically for Grandma. It isn't appropriate to ask her to leave."Timothy replied coldly, "Maybe those whom Grandma dislikes should stay away from her to avoid affecting the outcome of her surgery."Mia struggled to stifle a laugh, surprised by Timothy's straightforwardness.Hadn't he noticed how close Maya was to tears after that snide remark?Maya spoke with a quivering voice, "Tim, how can you treat me this way? After all, today's surgery is only possible because of me!"Timothy stared at Maya and retorted, "Are you sure Grandma Laura's surgery is only possible because of you, Maya? Are you so accustomed to fabricating stories that you've convinced yourself of your lies?"Upon hearing this, Maya's expression tensed. Under Timothy's piercing gaze, a sudden unease settled in. It felt as though Timothy was privy

    Mia intentionally dropped the document in front of Maya, making sure she took notice of it.Fueled by discontent, Mia was set on complicating matters for everyone.With Laura undergoing surgery, Mia saw no reason to exercise caution.Sharon's expression grew uneasy upon seeing the document on the floor. "Mia, why are you carelessly dropping things everywhere? Pick it up quickly!"What if Maya happened to see it?"Of course."Mia purposefully took her time retrieving it, ensuring Maya had a clear view of the front page. She couldn't help but flash a smug grin in Maya's direction.Maya's expression immediately tensed. "Mrs. Barrett, what's the significance of this document?"Mia smirked and replied, "Do you really need to ask? Can't you read? Grandma Laura brought out this document specifically for Timothy and I to sign before her surgery."The child I'm carrying is destined to be the heir of the Barrett Group, and any children from other women will have to step aside."As Mia

    After uttering these words, Timothy turned and walked toward the operating room.Mia was somewhat taken aback. Timothy's silence was unusual, considering that in the past, he might have sided with Maya and perceived the situation as Mia's fault.Mia had initially braced herself for a confrontation, but Timothy's unexpected behavior caught her off guard.The surprise wasn't limited to Mia, even Sharon and Maya were shocked. Mia had been remarkably arrogant a moment ago, yet Timothy seemed unfazed.Mia, unwilling to waste any more time with Sharon and Maya, proceeded toward the operating room.Sharon suggested reluctantly, "Let's go. We should follow them."Just then, a bodyguard unexpectedly intercepted Sharon and Maya."Apologies, Mrs. Barrett, but Mr. Barrett has instructed that unrelated individuals cannot approach the operating room."Maya, though infuriated, restrained herself in front of Sharon. She could only ask pitifully, "Mrs. Barrett, what was the deal with the docume

    Mia was puzzled by Timothy's words. She merely wanted to maintain a comfortable distance from him.What was he implying by asking whom she was apprehensive about encountering? It was not as if she had engaged in any dubious behavior.She casually responded, "Exactly, I just didn't want to be seen and misinterpreted by others."Besides, both Sharon and Maya were present at the hospital. Shouldn't Timothy be wary of potential misunderstandings with Maya?Contemplating this, Mia suddenly questioned, "Oh, by the way, why did you break off your engagement with Maya?"She had been eager to inquire about this matter for quite some time, but the suitable moment never seemed to present itself.With Laura's surgery now underway, marking a countdown in Timothy and Mia's divorce, Mia unexpectedly found herself growing a bit curious.Timothy's eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you think?"Was Mia trying to fish for information she already knew?It was evident that Mia had persuaded Connor t

    Beneath Timothy's usual noble and aloof demeanor, there hid a surprising array of tricks up his sleeve.Looking at Mia, Timothy's tone turned cold as he uttered, "Mia, you can shut up now."Any other woman might have blushed and fallen silent upon hearing those words, but not Mia.Shamelessly, she argued back, her face visibly agitated.Indeed, Timothy had never encountered a lady with such a robust and assertive personality like Mia!Feeling upset, Mia muttered, "You initiated the argument. With a clear conscience, one sees things in a positive and pure light. If your mindset is tainted, everything you perceive becomes tainted too!"Timothy was taken aback by her response.The discussion came to an abrupt halt.Timothy remained silent as Mia lowered her head, attempting to regain her composure.It was all Timothy's fault; his words had provoked an unintended reaction from Mia.The atmosphere between them grew increasingly awkward.Mia gazed up at the ceiling, sensing the un

His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver.

    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,
