Chapter 154
Although Connor detested Timothy, he was still going to keep things professional. After all, he was only here for Mia’s sake. He
wouldn’t let her down.
Timothy finally said, “When will you start on the surgical plan?”
The plan was criti, Cardiac surgeries were usually extremely complicated, and unexpected circumstances were bound to
happen. Thus, a detailed surgical plan was needed.
Connor replied, “I’ll be here again in two days. By then, I’ll come up with a plan. I need some time for this, and it shouldn’t be
rushed.”
Maya nodded as she chimed in, “He’s right. The surgery should be carried out by the end of this month. We still have plenty of
time.”
Connor glanced at his watch. “I have to go.”
He had to excuse himself to avoid bumping into Mia. He would be in trouble if that happened. How was he going to explain the
situation?
“Connor, since you’re here, why don’t we grab a meal together? Despite the misunderstandings we had in the past, we’re about
to become a family soon. We need to sort things out.”
With a stoic expression, Connor rejected her invitation. “There’s no need for that. I’m busy.”
In haste, he left the room right away.
Maya went after him, yet she eventually came to a stop as she watched him go. She turned back and glanced at Timothy.
“You see, Tim, I was right. He may have a sharp tongue, but he’s nothing like that. Although he refused, he actually came in
secret to check on Grandma Laura’s condition.
“That explains a lot. By the end of this month, he’d be able to perform surgery on her.”
Timothy felt conflicted as he glanced over at the notes Connor left on the desk.
Completely immersed in excitement, Laura’s attending doctor exclaimed, “Mr. Barrett, he’s indeed the best cardiac surgeon in
Nord City. He mentioned a few plans that we missed out on.
“However, we can’t carry out the plans. He’s the only one who’s capable of it.”
“That’s for sure.” Maya interrupted with delight. “Connor’s amazing. If he were to operate on Grandma Laura, she’d recover in no
time!”
Timothy looked at the doctor as he said, “Then, do as he says.”
It was the best they could do since they had the most elite doctor to operate on Laura.
They stepped out of the office together.
+15 BONOS
Maya was thrilled. She sneaked a glance at Timothy, realizing he didn’t refuse to have Connor operating on Laura. Did that mean
he had accepted her?
A wave of exhilaration washed through her as they waited for the elevator to head upstairs.
Just as the elevator opened, Mia emerged from it. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Maya and
Timothy.
After all, she didn’t come across them when she deliberately took her time to prepare the fruits. She thought
they would be in the ward, but it turned out that they weren’t.
Nonetheless, she was unfazed. After she got the fruits ready for Laura, she intended to head downstairs for
Connor. She wanted to ask how everything was for him.
Although she had mentioned Laura’s condition to him, it would be different after he went through the medical
records.
Little did she expect to bump into Timothy and Maya.
The silence in the air was tangible as they stared at each other.
Maya’s eyes flickered with glee as she asked purposefully, “Ms. Bowen, what are you doing here?”
