Chapter 459
Seeing Laura’s excitement about her babies, Mia felt torn.
If she were to suddenly disappear in the future, Laura would undoubtedly be devastated and consumed with worry for Mia and
her twins.
Hence, why not disclose the “truth” to Laura at this moment?
Mia considered disclosing to Laura that her pregnancy had been a pretense, fabricated solely to persuade her into undergoing
surgery.
Despite the likelihood of Laura being upset, Mia reasoned that revealing the truth before leaving Bern City could alleviate Laura’s
future sadness.
“Mia, what did you want to say?” Laura asked.
Caught in her tender gaze, Mia’s eyes welled up with tears. “Grandma, there’s something I need to confess. I’ve been deceiving
you all this time. The truth is, I was never-”
“Grandma!” Timothy’s firm voice cut off Mia’s sentence abruptly.
He pushed the door to the ward open and entered, his footsteps drew closer until he stopped beside her. Mia’s breath caught as
she turned to find Timothy in a pinstripe suit, his white sleeves visible.
Mia couldn’t help but clench her hands tightly together; she was on the verge of confessing the truth to Laura.
Unfortunately, Timothy’s sudden appearance at that moment interrupted Mia’s words. It was truly exasperating!
Considering it was early morning, shouldn’t Timothy be occupied with work and meetings at the office?
Mia found herself somewhat annoyed by Timothy’s unexpected appearance at the hospital. Was he here to stir up trouble?
Laura glanced at Timothy and asked nonchalantly, “So, are you finally willing to come and see me?”
In a composed tone, Timothy replied, “Grandma, I was here just a couple of days ago.”
Laura expressed her disappointment, saying, “Well, considering you came alone, it would have been better if you hadn’t come at
all.”
However, her demeanor softened as she turned to Mia, offering a warm smile. “Mia, why don’t you pick something you like?
“I’ll arrange for it to be purchased and aired out for your future children to use when they’re born.”
+15 BONUS
Seeing Laura’s joyful expression, Mia felt uneasy.
However, as she accepted the tablet, her mood turned solemn.
“Sy the way, Mia, what were you about to tell me just now?” Laura chimed in.
Mia stood there with the tablet in her hands, yet she couldn’t muster the courage to utter the words she had intended to say.
Feeling overwhelmed by Timothy’s persistent gaze beside her, Mia could only force a smile and reply,” It’s nothing really.
“I’ve been occupied with the design of the university hall lately, and it turned out to be a great success. I simply wanted to share
this good news with you.”
“That’s great. Mia, now that your busy schedule is behind you, please make sure to prioritize rest.
“I’ve noticed you’ve lost weight recently, and I know pregnancy can be challenging. Please, don’t let me worry about you.”
Mia nodded affirmatively. “I understand. Following this hectic period, I won’t undertake any additional tasks. Instead, I’ll
concentrate solely on attending classes and getting ready for my exams.”
At the mention of “exams“, Timothy glanced at Mia; it seemed like she was getting ready for graduation. Laura nodded in
approval. “That’s wonderful. Once you’ve graduated, make sure to stay home and take good care of yourself. We’ll address
everything else after you’ve given birth.”
Mia gazed down at her tablet, unable to muster the courage to meet Laura’s eyes. As Mia observed the images of the baby crib
and stroller on the screen, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.
“Grandma, I’m finding it hard to decide too. Without seeing the actual items, it’s tough to make a choice.”
“I understand. Since Timothy is here today, why don’t you both go to the store together to make a selection?” Laura suggested.
Mia quickly lifted her head and declined, saying, “Grandma, I’m certain he’s swamped with work and wouldn’t have time to join
me. I can manage on my own.”
However, the next moment, Timothy’s voice chimed in beside her. “I actually have some free time later. We can go shopping for
a couple of hours.”
