Chapter 144

“Dominic, I wanna marry Timothy.”

Dominic sighed. “Must it be him?”

“Yes. He’s the only want I wanna marry.”

He contemplated it. “Maya, you should give it a serious thought. Are you sure you want to use it on

this?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

In the end, he answered, “Okay.”

The wave of relief came with joy as her eyes brightened. “Dominic, are you agreeing to my marriage

with Timothy?”

“Yes. I gave you my word, and I’ll make it happen.”

“Thank you, Dominic.” The exhilarated Maya hung up the phone.

As long as Dominic agreed to her request, there wouldn’t be a problem.

Mia woke up the next morning and scoured the entertainment articles for that famous actor.

Every time she hung out with Liam, it would always stir up a scandalous article about that famous actor.

However, it seemed like there were no such articles floating around. There was only news of the

famous actor attending the charity auction with a 12 million dollar donation.

Aside from that, there was nothing else.

She breathed out a sigh, feeling relief.

As her gaze trailed downward, there was another article-“Ms. Lane Attended Charity Auction With

Future Sister–In–Law“.

The photo showed Maya and Shelly alighting from a car.

Mia exited the webpage after taking a glimpse at it.

She headed to the studio to work overtime. Earning money was her priority.

When she arrived at the office, Felix stepped out of it. “Mia, you seem to be working your ass off

recently.”

“Can’t help it when I’m in dire need of money.”

“Mia, you can tell me if you’re stressed about picking up your studies again.”

She responded calmly, “Thanks, Felix. But I’m handling it just fine.”

“Mia, you’re a woman. You don’t have to work this hard. I know your family circumstances aren’t great,

but you

The corner of her eye twitched. Her rejections were obvious enough, but he chose to bring it up

explicitly.

Her lips pressed into a firm line. “Felix, having a relationship isn’t one of my concerns for now. Sorry.”

“I actually have feelings for you since a while ago, Mia. But you took a gap year before I was ready to

confess.

“No one knew where you went either. Now that you’re back, I don’t wanna let you slip through my

fingers again. I’ve given it a serious thought.”

She inhaled a deep breath. “I was actually married, Felix.”

“Mia, you don’t have to make up this kind of excuse to reject me.”

“I’m serious.” She wished she could explain more, but it seemed like he didn’t believe in her words.

So, she let it be.

After getting off work, Mia paid Laura a visit at the hospital.

The surgery would be on the weekend. It was finally happening.

She bought daisies–Laura’s favorite–hugging them as she rode the elevator.

The moment she stepped out, she saw Timothy talking on the phone in the corridor with a grim

expression. “I don’t believe that that doctor is the only person who can perform this surgery.

“What about the others? Are they useless?”

Heath, who stood beside him, said, “Sir, we’re trying our best to find the right doctor. But we need time.”

Questions crossed Mia’s mind. “Wasn’t it final that Maya’s brother was going to be the doctor in

charge? Why the sudden change?”

She approached them with the flowers. She eyed Timothy’s back. “Is something wrong with the
