Chapter 381
Mia lost her cool and yelled at Timothy, driven by the need to protect her child.
She knew how stubborn Timothy was. If he said he’d arrange an abortion, he’d follow through.
The hospital room fell silent.
Timothy shot Mia a look of disbelief. “What did you just say?”
He forced her chin up to meet his scrutinizing gaze.
Mia mumbled, “Didn’t you hear me?”
She felt a pang of regret. But she was out of options. This was a hospital. Timothy could easily
arrange for an abortion.
Timothy leaned down and stared at Mia’s belly.
Mia trembled and instinctively covered her belly, though he swiftly moved her hand aside. When his gaze landed on her belly,
panic gripped her. She and her baby were at Timothy’s mercy.
Timothy lowered his head, and Mia couldn’t make out what was on his mind. After a moment, he
finally croaked. “That’s my child?”
“Yes, it’s yours.” Mia admitted. She needed to calm Timothy down before seeking help from her
brothers in Nord City. Once she was there. Timothy would never find her again.
Yet, Timothy sneered. “Mia Bowen, do you take me for a fool? How dare you lie to me to protect
this bastard? Where’s your pride?”
Mia was stunned. She never thought Timothy would doubt her!
She insisted, “Really, this is your child.”
Timothy huffed. “You’ve slept with many men. Are you sure this is mine? I never even touched you!
“You did, once. Have you forgotten?” Mia recounted.
Mia observed Timothy, noting the suspicion in his gaze. She felt truly embarrassed right now.
Timothy shrugged. “You’re right. But I didn’t do it willingly. Weren’t you the one who drugged me?”
The corners of Mia’s mouth twitched. “So you don’t believe me.”
“I don’t. You won’t fool me twice!” Timothy withdrew his hand and took a step back. ‘I’ll arrange

With that he turned and left the room. Ma’s voice sounded weakly behind him. “Would you keep
the child if it were really yours?”
Mia watched hopefully as Timothy walked away. If he agreed to keep it, she would suggest taking
a paternity test to prove the child’s lineage.
But Timothy never even spared her a second glance and uttered coldly. “There’s no ‘its‘ in this
world.”
And with that he was gone.
Mia’s hope shattered in an instant, and she couldn’t stop tears from flowing down her cheeks.
She looked up at the ceiling, forcing herself to choke back tears. She asked him the same
question before, why didn’t she take the hint then?
Why did she have to hurt herself? Timothy wasn’t even the man she fell for!
Mia curled weakly on the bed, her body trembling in fear. She touched her belly and whispered to herself, “Don’t worry, my child.
Mommy will protect you.”
At the same time. Timothy stood in the corridor outside the ward. The urge to smoke was stronger than ever. He tore his tie off,
feeling like an enraged lion.
Heath was shocked to see Timothy’s state. It had been years since he had seen Timothy this
furious.
