Chapter 150
Mia pondered on the question as she watched Maya leave. Yet, she was left with no answers.
After a while, Connor emerged from the elevator. He strode toward her.
“Mia, I asked the doctor about your condition. You’re probably under too much stress.”
She nodded. “I know. The doctor told me.”
Connor plopped himself down beside her as he questioned, “Mia, are you hiding something from us?”
Although they found Mia, they still felt like she was keeping a distance from them.
Mia lowered her gaze when she thought of Laura. Yet, she chose to be straightforward about it.
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. I’m just worried about my friend’s grandma’s surgery.”
“Oh, this. You should’ve told me earlier. Well
...
I called my friend earlier, and he said he’s able to perform
surgery on your friend’s grandma.”
“Really?” Mia’s eyes lit up. Since Connor said so, there shouldn’t be an issue.
This was great news to her!
“However, my friend’s quite busy. I’ll pay a visit to your friend’s grandma with you, and we can go through her
medical records first to have a better understanding of her condition.
“By then, the surgery can proceed as soon as possible.”
Mia was momentarily stunned by the fact that Connor planned to visit Laura with her. In this case, she would no longer be able to
hide it from him anymore.
She glanced up at him as she said, “Connor, can’t your friend come instead? I mean
important, isn’t it better for him to be physically there?”
Since the surgery’s
Connor seemed slightly awkward. If he went, his real identity would be exposed. After all, he almost blew his
cover back at the hospital.
Fortunately, Mia, who was as gullible and kind as she usually was, didn’t suspect him.when he changed from
a vet to a doctor.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t a fool.
This was tough.
All of a sudden, both of them sat in silence.
Connor began brainstorming for ideas. He was desperate to find a way to perform surgery on Mia’s friend’s grandma without
exposing his identity.
This was particularly difficult.

In the end, Mia couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Connor, I’ll just tell you the truth. My friend’s grandma is actually Grandma Laura.”
Connor was dumbfounded.
Furrowing his brows, he blurted, “Timothy’s grandma?”
Mia nodded. “Yeak’s her.”
Connor inhaled sharply. He was baffled by how she addressed Laura. It seemed like they were close.
Yet, he dreaded the fact that her friend’s grandma happened to be Laura, Timothy’s grandma. In fact, the last thing he would
expect was that she was also looking for a doctor for Laura!
Hesitantly, Mia shot a glance at Connor, who was seated right across her.
“Connor, what’s wrong?”
Connor quickly cleared his throat. “I–It’s nothing. I’m just a bit surprised, that’s all. I didn’t expect your friend’s grandma to be one
of the Barretts.
“But given how well off they are, why do they need you to look for a doctor?”
Connor narrowed his eyes. He believed that Timothy was tricking Mia. After all, she was an innocent and kind soul. There was
no way he would let Timothy deceive her!
Mia glanced down as she said, “Initially, there was no need for that because they found a renowned doctor, and he’s also from
Nord City.
“Initially, he agreed to do the surgery. However, something happened, and he broke his promise.”
Connor seemed quite uncomfortable. Was he the doctor that Mia was talking about?
