Chapter 147
In fact, Mia was still in a dilemma. After all, Liam was so close to fighting Timothy back at the auction house.
When Timothy sent her to the hospital because she lost consciousness from being sick, even Connor
suspected that he was the father of her child.
Things would be complicated if Connor found out her friend’s grandma was Laura.
She sighed. This was tough.
“Mia, what’s wrong?” As Connor finished his supper, he noticed the pensive look on her face.
“Is there something you can’t say? Is your friend running short on cash?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
There was no way that Timothy lacked money.
After a brief pause, Mia continued, “Connor, will you help me no matter what happens?”
“Of course, you’re my sister.”
He would offer a helping hand regardless of anything. If it were something he couldn’t help with, he would go
to great lengths to help her.
Connor spotted the hesitation in her eyes. He ruffled her hair.
“It’s alright. Just tell me which hospital your friend’s grandma is at, and I can accompany you over to check on
her.”
“Then, can you help me to ask whether the doctor can make it?”
“Sure. Get some rest now, Mia.”
She got up and went back to her room. Frankly, she was pondering on whether she should tell Connor the
truth. She also wasn’t sure whether Timothy would be please with her doing this.
Maybe he would even blame her for meddling in his affairs or speculate that she was merely trying to please
Laura.
She covered her face with her hands as she gave up on thinking. She would be fine for now.
...
When Mia woke up the next day, her belly suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself
to sense what was off.
Since she was worried about her baby, she called Connor immediately.
“Connor, my belly hurts.”
Feeling anxious, he bombarded her with questions.

“Where are you now? Do you need me to come over?
“I’m on my way to find you. I don’t know whether I’m just overthinking.”
“Mia, you must come to the hospital if you feel something’s wrong. After all, you’re pregnant and must be extra
careful.”
This was what she had in mind as well. Thus, she hailed a cab and headed straight to the hospital.
Connor was already waiting for her at the hospital entrance.
“The doctor’s waiting for you. Let’s go for an ultrasound and check whether there’s an issue.”
Mia was equally worried. After taking the ultrasound, the results showed that there wasn’t anything wrong with her.
The obstetrician said, “The baby’s growth probably affected your uterus, or you might’ve been under quite a lot of stress lately.
You have to relax.”
Indeed, Mia had been worrying about Laura’s surgery lately.
When she came out with the scan report, she realized that Connor was nowhere to be seen.
She took out her phone and noticed a text from him.
“I have a patient that I need to tend to. Once you’re done with your checkup, take a seat and rest for a while. Wait for me.”
While she put her report away, she went to the first floor to have a seat. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into
Maya.
Instinctively, she tried to keep her bag out of her sight. After all, she had her report in it, and she had no idea what Maya would
possibly do.
“Mia, what are you doing here?” Maya was astonished to find her here as well.
With a nonchalant expression, Mia replied, “Are you the only one who’s allowed to visit a hospital?”
She had no intention of engaging in a conversation with her. In haste, she tried to move away from her as quickly as possible.
Nonetheless, Maya darted after her.
“Wait! I have to tell you something. My family has agreed to my marriage with Timothy. Now that no one is stopping us, you
better get rid of all your hopes. You won’t even stand a chance!”
Mia halted her steps when she heard her.
“If this is the case, then why is Timothy finding another doctor for Grandma Laura’s surgery?
“Isn’t your brother a renowned doctor? Why is he not willing to perform the surgery when you and Timothy are about to get
married soon?”
