Timothy froze. He couldn't believe his ears. How dare Mia go to the hospital to take care of that cunning bastard?

Adjusting his tie, he snapped, "That's so kind of her, isn't it?"

Right after he taught Felix a lesson, she eagerly went to the hospital to take care of him. She was literally disregarding him.

Could it be that she liked Felix? But didn't she say the opposite last time? Indeed, women were skilled at deception.

Palpable tension hung in the hotel room.

Timothy looked like someone had just punched the living daylights out of him. Feeling terrified, Heath dared not utter a single word.

He knew Timothy would definitely be furious once he reported this situation to him. Yet, if he didn't report it and Timothy found out later, he'd surely be fired.

Sometimes, he'd rather face the consequences right away than have to anticipate it.

Heath glanced at his watch, and added in a strained tone, "Mr. Barrett, you have to attend a very important banquet tonight. It's hosted

I’m starting to not like Mia. She can’t be so stupid as to not realize that Timothy is in love with her. And that he is the one who injured Felix not her brother/cousin whatever it is

    Timothy's reaction put that woman in an awkward situation. "My father told me to come to you, Mr. Barrett. He gave me the room card too, asking me to seduce you. But I can't bring myself to do this, so I'd like to negotiate with you in person.""You don't have no right to negotiate with me," he replied expressionlessly.His eyes stared at his phone screen that displayed the disconnected call. He scowled with irritation.The sheer idea of Mia becoming a playgirl annoyed him so much. He made a mental note to himself to deal with all the backup men she had.…Meanwhile, Mia returned to the room after the call, which was still affecting her mood.Felix wrote, "Who was that?"There was a hesitant silence. "My ex-husband."Her reply stunned him, reminding him of the warning from the men who beat him up. He broke in a cold sweat.Still, he kept convincing himself to get it out of his head. That incident should have nothing to do with Mia's ex-husband, Felix believed.Felix didn't pr

    The mention of stir-fried chicken reminded Mia of the one Patricia made. It was delicious.Suppressing the discomfort churning in her, she ordered a delivery before looking at Felix. "It's getting late. I should get going.""So soon? Didn't you order a delivery? We can have it together.""It's alright, Mrs. Quilter. I can eat at home. Besides, I've only ordered one serving. It's not enough for two people." Mia could barely manage her expression. Janice didn't mind it. "I don't eat much, stay and join me. It's fine. Besides, Felix didn't finish the meat. There are still a lot of them. "It's the sweet and sour pork you like and there's some soup left too. You should have some. Finish the leftovers so that we can make him fresh meals. Patients shouldn't eat leftovers. How about that?"Mia was smart enough to not buy that at face value. She almost fainted from hunger there!Now, Janice was trying to convince Mia to finish Felix's leftover food. Never in her life would Mia allow he

    After all, Janice was not an easy woman to deal with.When Mia arrived home, her eyes were threatening to close due to exhaustion. She looked at Patricia. "I'd like to have stir-fried chicken and sweet and sour pork tomorrow.""Alright. I'll buy fresh meat tomorrow for that. You should invite Claude over for a meal too."It was only then did Mia realized why there was no news from Claude that day. Maybe guilt was eating him up after he had beaten Felix up.She took a shower in her room and flopped on the bed. With how tired Mia was, nothing could stop her from falling asleep. She desperately needed a break.…The next morning, the sound of her phone ringing woke her up.She answered the call groggily. "Hello?""Rise and shine, Mia! We have grocery shopping to do so we can cook up a hearty meal for Felix. I'm old for this. I'm thinking of leaving it to you. Take this chance to learn his likes and dislikes—"Mia hung up the call right away and checked the time—it was only 5:00 a

    Felix's blatant tone struck as absurd to Mia. Like mother, like son; both Janice and Felix were shameless.Since they confronted her with that kind of attitude, Mia figured that there was nothing else to talk about between them anymore.Mia replied bluntly, "Felix, I'm not obliged to take care of you. What I did yesterday was my final act of kindness toward you.""Mia, if it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't have been hospitalized. I kept quiet about who the offender was to the police because of you. I sacrificed so much for you. Can't you be a little understanding?"Right then, Janice's squeaky voice piped up. "What? Felix, are you saying that Mia's brother was the cause of your injury? Why didn't you tell me?"Then, the phone was thrust into Mia's hands. "Come to the hospital now, Mia Bowen. I have to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, I'll call the police to have your brother arrested.""Be my guest." Mia hung up the call.She was still worried, but Jason had given he

    That bastard actually called Mia yesterday to mock her for being a playgirl, but he wasn't in the position to do so.Furious, she sent the picture to Timothy. 'You're no saint either. Is this another backup girl of yours?'But after typing it out, she felt it was too long to assert her dominance. In the end, she edited her message and imitated his terse style. 'Wow.'That was enough to ooze sarcasm.Mean people usually didn't say much.Then, Mia set her phone aside and returned to her seat, back to her studies.Yet, she couldn't focus at all. She kept stealing glances at her phone as she wondered how Timothy would respond to her message.To her disappointment, he didn't reply.A while later, her phone screen suddenly lit up to show a notification from WhatsApp.She checked her phone only after calming herself down. Turned out it wasn't a reply from Timothy, but a message from Felix.'Mia, I recorded what you confessed to me in the room that day. About how your brother was a

    Mia didn't want to waste time beating around the bush. Not even for a second.Yet, Felix gave her a loving look. "Mia, you're avoiding my question."Disgusted, she retorted, "I swore that if I have feelings for you, I'll be struck by lightning. Do you understand me?"Her blatant vow left him completely stunned.Never had he imagined being looked down upon like this. In his mind, a divorced woman like Mia shouldn't be picky when faced with a career man like him.Still, he regained his composure very quickly. "Mia, you don't have to be so harsh. I won't give the voice recording to the police on one condition—be my girlfriend. Once we become a family, your brothers are my brothers. I won't hold him accountable for it."This was a setup, an overt setup.How could Felix talk about family? So casually at that?The world was indeed a strange place. She thought that her adoptive parents had bizarre characters, but Felix and Janice took it to a whole new level.It finally hit her t

    If this conversation continued any further, Mia feared her blood pressure might rise through the roof."Mia Bowen, are you going to leave like this? What about the voice recording?"She looked over her shoulder at Felix. "Why don't you let me hear it first?"Silence hung in the air for a moment and she knew instantly that it was a lie—he didn't possess any sort of voice recording.The visit was unnecessary after all.Annoyed, she began wondering why Claude hadn't been responding to her messages. The issue could only be resolved after she spoke to him.However, Claude appeared to be unreliable at the moment.Mia, who was going to leave the hospital, exited the elevator while dwelling on the repulsive emotions which surfaced after her discussion with Felix and Janice.Right then, Timothy phoned Mia.She picked up the call immediately. "Anything?""About the picture, it's not what you think."Everything was unfolding in a way which exceeded her expectations today. Timothy was a

    Timothy's mind raced as he processed the news."Mia's pregnant? Who's the father then?" Questions flooded his mind.Before he could dwell on it further, Sky's voice resounded through the phone. "Mr. Barrett, if something bad happens, who will you choose? The mother or the baby?"Faced with the unexpected dilemma, Timothy took a deep breath.All he knew right now was that he was the joke of the universe—he was cheated on.If Mia was pregnant, what would that make him?Coldly, he retorted, "Must I state the obvious?""The baby?" the director asked for confirmation as heirs were normally important to rich people.A shadow crossed Timothy's face. "Save the mother. The baby isn't important."He would never care about a kid that wasn't his.Reining in his urge to demand the hospital to treat Mia was the greatest benevolence he could possibly offer.If someone told him to care about the baby, he didn't know what he might be capable of doing.Meanwhile, Heath learned a significant

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. 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. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

    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,
