Chapter 322

After uttering these words, Timothy turned and walked toward the operating room.
Mia was somewhat taken aback. Timothy’s silence was unusual, considering that in the past, he
might have sided with Maya and perceived the situation as Mia’s fault.
Mia had initially braced herself for a confrontation, but Timothy’s unexpected behavior caught her
off guard.
The surprise wasn’t limited to Mia, even Sharon and Maya were shocked. Mia had been
remarkably arrogant a moment ago, yet Timothy seemed unfazed.
Mia, unwilling to waste any more time with Sharon and Maya, proceeded toward the operating
room.
Sharon suggested reluctantly, “Let’s go. We should follow them.”
Just then, a bodyguard unexpectedly intercepted Sharon and Maya.
“Apologies, Mrs. Barrett, but Mr. Barrett has instructed that unrelated individuals cannot approach
the operating room.”
Maya, though infuriated, restrained herself in front of Sharon. She could only ask pitifully, “Mrs.
Barrett, what was the deal with the document Mia had just now?”
“Ms. Lane, there’s no need to worry. Mia is not pregnant. So, that document is merely a piece of
paper.
“By the time Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery is over, it will have exceeded the waiting period required for Timothy and Mia’s divorce.
“Once their divorce is finalized, they will have no further ties,” Sharon reassured.
Upon hearing Sharon’s explanation, Maya felt considerably relieved.
As long as Mia wasn’t expecting, the document held no significance.
Sharon continued to comfort Maya and escorted her downstairs to wait.
However, Shelly, who was nearby, harbored some skepticism. Just a while ago, Wilhelmina had messaged her with evidence confirming Mia’s pregnancy.
Despite this, Shelly found herself unable to contact Wilhelmina afterward. It seemed as though
Wilhelmina had vanished without a trace.

Could it be that Wilhelmina was evading Maya’s phone calls out of guilt? Could it perhaps stem from dishonesty?
Nonetheless, Shelly couldn’t help but find Mia’s words peculiar.
It Mia had indeed conceived in secret and signed the document, wouldn’t that potentially give her control over the Barrett family in the future?
Would Shelly still be able to enjoy her benefits in the long run?
Regardless, Shelly was resolute in confirming whether Mia was truly pregnant.
Outside the operating room, Mia gazed at the blinking red light, her body tensing up.
Despite her confidence in Connor’s medical skills, worry lingered in Mia’s thoughts.
After all undergoing surgery was an affair filled with risks and variables.
The outcome of the procedure remained unknown, and unforeseen events could potentially
transpire.
Mia sat on a chair, fervently praying for Laura’s surgery to go smoothly.
Shortly after, Timothy joined her, balancing a laptop on his lap, deeply engrossed in his work.
Seated in close proximity, their arms occasionally brushed against each other.
Feeling uncomfortable, Mia shifted away, creating some distance between them.
Noticing her movement, Timothy squinted slightly and questioned, “Is something wrong? Does being close to me make you uncomfortable?”
Upon hearing his words, Mia couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
She turned to him and remarked, “Being in such close proximity, especially as an unmarried man and woman, could easily lead to speculation from others.”
“Are you apprehensive about potential rumors, or is there a particular individual you’re worried
about encountering?”
Timothy’s mood soured further as he thought about Connor carrying out the surgery. It appeared that Mia was intentionally keeping her distance, likely because of Connor.
Out of all the men Mia could have chosen, she had to choose Connor.
The Lane family in Nord City proved to be a sizable and intricate clan, surpassing even the
complexity of the Barrett family.

Should Mia tie the knot with Connor eventually, she would undeniably face scrutiny and criticism from the elders of the Lane family.
