Chapter 279
Mia detected Timothy’s familiar interrogative tone, tinged with an air of superiority. His gaze remained as penetrating as ever.
Running her fingers through her freshly dried hair, Mia teased, “Why don’t you take a guess?”
Timothy couldn’t help but notice her subtle movements.
Mia’s hair cascaded to one side, and the strap of her camisole delicately slid down, revealing at generous expanse of skin that
glowed warmly under the soft lighting.
such a provocative
Timothy was briefly stunned, not anticipating scene.
He felt a lump in his throat, and his gaze grew intense. Was Mia doing this intentionally?
However, she appeared entirely oblivious to the fact that she was inadvertently exposing herself.
As Timothy lapsed into a sudden silence during the video call, Mia commented, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go ahead and
hang up.”
“Mia, you still haven’t answered my question! Don’t assume you can allure me just by dressing like this. Even if you were to
undress in front of me, it wouldn’t work!”
What was Timothy referring to? Wasn’t she simply wearing a regular nightgown?
Mia lowered her head and suddenly became aware of the fallen strap on her shoulder.
With a slightly larger movement, her breasts could have been exposed. Blushing instantly, she hastily ended the video call.
Mia quickly readjusted the strap of her camisole, then pulled the blanket over her face, feeling utterly embarrassed.
Did Timothy, that narcissistic guy, truly believe she did it on purpose?
What a shameless accusation!
Mia wished she could pull Timothy aside and give him a piece of her mind. Who would
intentionally dress this way to seduce him? His audacity was beyond belief!
Regardless, she decided to let it go. In a few months, after finishing her credits and with her belly growing, she planned to head
to Nord City to give birth.
Since she was leaving anyway, why should she bother enduring Timothy?

The following day, Mia had initially intended to visit the hospital for a prenatal check–up.
However, Connor informed her that he had something to attend to in the morning and suggested she come in the afternoon.
At the moment, the only person she truly trusted was Connor.
Mia wouldn’t feel comfortable during her prenatal check–ups if Connor wasn’t present. Hence, she
opted to go in the afternoon.
In the morning, Mia visited Laura at the private hospital. Notably, Laura had left a personal comment on Mia’s social media post
the day before.
Given Timothy’s recent cancellation of his engagement with Maya, Mia felt compelled to inquire about the details of Laura’s
surgery arrangement.
Mia was uncertain whether the procedure would proceed as initially scheduled.
Before heading to the private hospital, she bought some flowers and fruits.
As she approached Laura’s hospital room, Mia heard voices coming from within.
Glancing through the door, she noticed doctors and nurses inside. Could there be complications
with Laura’s condition?
In a moment of panic, Mia hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, calling out, “Grandma
Laura.”
As Mia surveyed the room, her footsteps came to a sudden halt. Among the doctors and nurses. there was an unexpected sight–
Connor, dressed in a white coat.
What was he doing here?
Earlier, when Connor mentioned having morning commitments, Mia speculated it might involve a scheduled surgery. However,
she never expected to stumble upon him in the private hospital.
Was Connor contemplating a career change?
Connor was caught off guard when he saw Mia. Encountering her here was certainly not something he had anticipated.
Today, he came to conduct Laura’s standard preoperative check–up.
Due to the intricate nature of Laura’s upcoming surgery, it involved a series of various tests and the formulation of a detailed
surgical plan.
Connor had intentionally scheduled his morning to check on Laura, with plans to return later in

However, the unexpected encounter with Mia in Laura’s hospital room took him by surprise.
Connor’s demeanor grew awkward. Was this the day his identity might be exposed?
Mia, too, felt a sense of unease. Could this be the day Connor found out about her relationship
with Timothy?.
