Chapter 568
“Speaking ill of others behind their backs isn't very kind, is it?”
Mia's back tensed as she turned to see Nicholas in the doorway, leaning against
the frame with a distant
look in his eyes.
She hadn't expected to be caught like that.
Managing a forced smile, she said, “I-I didn’t mean it that way. What I was trying
to say is that doctors
with bad tempers are often more skilled.”
“Mia, you don't have to worry, that's just his personality,” Connor said, patting her
shoulder.
“By the way, Mia, why don’t we go out for dinner tonight? It's not often that Nick
comes all the way to Bern City for a week on business just to visit me. I think it's
only fair to treat him to a meal.”
“Seriously, dude. When you heard about your sister, didn't you also make a
special trip just to see what
she looks like?"
Mia blinked in disbelief; she hadn't realized Connor had gone out of his way to
come and see her.
The next moment. Connor proudly exclaimed, “Isn't my sister beautiful and
adorable? Those without sisters can only envy us for a lifetime, hahaha!”
The corner of Mia’s lips twitched. Why did Connor seem so annoying right now?
Didn't he notice the scalpel in Nicholas“ hand just now?
Indeed, the atmosphere around them seemed to grow noticeably tense.
As Nicholas put on his mask, he muttered a disdainful “boring®, before swiftly
departing.
Watching Nicholas* retreating figure, Mia asked, “Connor, is it appropriate to
speak like that?”
“It's fine, we've been talking like this since we were kids.”
Nonetheless, Mia quietly resolved not to allow Nicholas to examine her next time,
fearing his potential
retaliation.
At that moment, she remembered Laura's earlier phone call. “Hey, Connor, didn't
Grandma Laura just get discharged from the hospital? She’s thinking of hosting a
small party to cheer things up and would like to
invite you guys.”

Connor's expression became complicated. “Are you sure Grandma Laura wants
to invite all of us? Isn't she worried that your brothers and I will beat Timothy up?”
“Ahem, Connor, I'm being serious. Despite any grievances between Timothy and
me, Grandma Laura has always been kind to me. Before I leave Bern City, I also
hope to reconcile with her.”
“If Grandma Laura is willing to reschedule the event until after your exams, then
Dominic, Nathan, and Jason should all be free to attend. After all, they promised
to accompany you back.”
Mia nodded in agreement. “I'll discuss it with Grandma Laura.”
Indeed, only Connor and Claude resided in Bern City. While Liam was also in
town, he was busy with his filming commitments.

As she approached the entrance, she spotted Nicholas stepping out of a cab.
