Turning to Peyton, Dylan inquired, "Is he Mia's ex-husband?"Peyton maintained his composure as he replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that information. I hope you understand the importance of maintaining discretion outside of these walls. Here's the confidentiality agreement for you to sign."Dylan eventually signed the agreement, although he was already convinced—that bodyguard was undoubtedly Mia's ex-husband!It appeared that Timothy had become aware of Mia's newfound status as the heiress of the Lane family, which could explain his audacious attempt to make amends.Nevertheless, Dylan was determined to keep this scoundrel away from Mia!Meanwhile, in the private deluxe ward, Mia felt as though she had just stepped out from an alternate universe she dreamed up.In the dream, she relived her experiences in the Barrett residence, including her marriage to Timothy and the mistreatment she endured there.Like a flickering strobe light, fragments of memories raced through M

Upon hearing Connor's words, Mia couldn't help but feel guilty. She nervously fidgeted and said, "Connor, it's a long story.""Perfect, I have plenty of time to listen," Connor quipped.He was also curious as to why Mia chose to keep Timothy as her bodyguard. Did she still harbor feelings for him?Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, Mia explained, "Initially, I intended to dismiss Timothy when I went to the hospital. But I ended up keeping him around as a bodyguard just to see him embarrass himself. I never expected him to be so persistent and stay by my side."Mia had only wanted to play a prank on Timothy, which was why she kept him around as her bodyguard."Mia, Timothy is a cunning man. Don't let his words deceive you. It might be safer to keep your distance from him. What do you say about that?" Connor suggested."I understand, Connor. By the way, where's Timothy now? Is he alive?"Connor's response was sharp and direct. "Why are you so worried about someone insignifica

Peyton's expression turned grim instantly. "It seems like you're remembering everything that happened back then. Are you experiencing any discomfort now?""Yes, I feel uneasy. I want everyone in the Barrett family to face the consequences of what they did to me!""Ms. Mia, would you like to consult with a psychologist?"Shaking her head, Mia replied, "That would not be necessary. To be honest, I don't have any psychological issues. It's just that when my brothers brought me back, they were worried I might still have feelings for Timothy. So, they made up stories about me having mental health problems."Now that Mia had recalled everything, she realized she had never actually suffered from depression.She was perfectly healthy now.Peyton hesitated momentarily before speaking, "Ms. Mia, Mr. Barrett is still waiting outside the hospital. Your brothers had the bodyguards escort him out, but he refused to leave. He insists on waiting until he hears news about you.""So he's still li

Mia spoke carefully, "First and foremost, I want to thank you for your bone marrow donation to Ginger. However, let's not forget that it's also your responsibility as her father."Right now, Ginger and I are comfortably settled in the Lane family, so there's no need for you to linger in Nord City. You can just go back."Upon hearing this, Timothy's throat tightened slightly. "Mia, could you consider giving me another chance?"Exhaustion etched his face, his eyes heavy with emotion.Mia didn't know how to react to Timothy's words. "If you had said this four years ago, I might have been thrilled."Timothy's heart sank at her words, his voice strained. "But is it too late now?""Yes, it is. I used to hang onto your every word because I cared about you. But I don't feel the same way anymore. So, what's the use of you saying all this?"Timothy felt a sharp pang in his heart, nearly breathless from the ache. He pressed his lips together and said, "I want to make things right for you a

Mia's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Timothy's speculations. Since when did he become so astute?Underneath the covers, Mia's grip tightened, though she maintained a composed exterior. "Yes, it's true, your bone marrow was intended for my child. I've been honest about that."However, the truth was that Timothy's bone marrow wasn't meant for Ginger; it was for her son, Sage.Although Timothy couldn't challenge her children's custody, Mia instinctively avoided revealing Sage's existence to him, wary of potential complications.Sensing the tension in Mia's response, Timothy spoke calmly, "I'm simply concerned for Ginger's well-being. I hope you can understand my position.""I'm sorry, but I think it's important for everyone to show mutual understanding."Suddenly, the hospital room door swung open, and a stunning woman entered.With a piercing stare, Eva confronted Timothy, "Mr. Barrett, don't you realize that you're not exactly welcomed by the Lane family?"Yet, here you are,

Upon hearing Eva's words, Timothy froze in place, his eyes momentarily betraying his bewilderment.Love?The notion had never crossed his mind before."Timothy, your silence speaks volumes. It's clear that Mia doesn't hold a special place in your heart. So why do you keep entangling yourself with her?"Eva's calm voice effortlessly cornered Timothy, leaving him with no escape.Timothy remained rooted on his spot, realizing he was trapped with no way out.In that instant, he felt even more vulnerable than when he was surrounded and attacked by those bodyguards earlier.Though his throat moved, Timothy couldn't manage to utter a single word in response.With a faint smile playing on her lips, Eva observed, "Since you don't love Mia, there's no need to keep up this facade. Gaining custody of Ginger is an unattainable goal for you, and if your heart isn't in it, why bother? After all, wasn't it you who filed for divorce?"Tiny droplets of sweat began to form on Timothy's forehead
Meet My Brothers Chapter 880
"Are you truly not bothered by it anymore?" Eva asked. Mia responded earnestly, "That's right. Now, I'm living comfortably as the heiress of the Lane family, with everything I desire at my fingertips. How could I possibly care about a worthless ex-husband?""It's good that you've reached that perspective. You heard Timothy earlier—he's not motivated by love for you."Perhaps it's his guilt regarding Ginger that drives him to cling to you, seeking to make amends. These are just empty words from a man. Hear them out, but don't let them weigh on your heart," Eva advised.Gripping her fork, Mia's gaze drifted downward as she softly replied, "I understand."For four years, Mia had been aware that Timothy didn't love her.Now, she certainly wouldn't assume that Timothy stuck around out of affection for her."Mia, men like Timothy aren't quick to fall in love. Those entrenched in the ruthless world of business often have their hearts hardened by their ambitions. Sincerity is a commodi

Mia's eyes shot open. She finally remembered!That tattoo was exactly the same as the one on Luna's ankle!Mia propped herself up in bed, wondering, "Did Luna attack me in the bedroom and frame another person?"Dana was the culprit caught and Mia knew that Dana had always hated her.When Mia connected the dots, things started to make more sense to her.It was no wonder Luna suddenly brought over Dana, claiming that she had caught the culprit when everyone wanted to check the surveillance footage. Mia failed to smell the scheme back then. Now that she thought about it, something was off.Luna surely played an important role in this scheme.Reorganizing the clues in her head, Mia was determined to find out whoever hurt Laura and hold the culprit accountable.The next day, Mia woke up tired.Last night, she dozed off while reorganizing the clues of the incident.The medical staff did their rounds in the morning.Two nurses were gushing in an undertone, "I heard that there's a

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
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1180
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,
