Chapter 178
Meet My Brothers
Listening to Shellyâs complaints on the other end of the phone, Mia calmly replied, âItâs not as if I
canceled your credit card. You should contact the person who did it.â
With that, she hung up the phone. Nonetheless, Shelly persisted with her calls, prompting Mia to switch
her phone to silent mode.
Despite the recent surge of rumors, they quickly dissipated. Mia hadnât anticipated such an effortless
resolution.
She breathed a sigh of relief and tenderly caressed her belly, sensing the presence of her unborn child
within.
Following Lauraâs surgery at the end of the month, Mia could finally sever all ties with Timothy.
It dawned on her that she should schedule a prenatal checkup.
Taking out her phone, she made an appointment at the hospital and began packing up to leave work
early for the examination.
âMia, are you leaving early for college?â
Upon hearing Felixâs voice, Mia turned around.
âIndeed, thereâs something I need to attend to, and there isnât much work on my plate right now. So, I
thought of leaving early.
âIf thereâs anything urgent, I can stay back and handle it,â she replied with a hint of awkwardness.
âNo worries. Iâm just concerned about you. With the recent rumor incident, people are bound to discuss
it. especially at your college,â Felix expressed.
âThanks for your concern, Felix, but Iâm not heading to college,â Mia clarified.
Felix couldnât help but chuckle. âMia, you donât have to be so cautious around me. Iâm not an enemy.
After all weâre friends, right?â
Mia eased up a bit, although her guard remained. Her past relationship with Timothy had made her
somewhat wary of men, causing her to instinctively maintain a distance.
Fortunately, Felix didnât press further. Entering the elevator, Mia headed straight to the hospital.
She went for her prenatal checkup without notifying Connor in advance.
Considering Connorâs hectic work schedule, Mia decided not to disturb his time to accompany her,
opting to go to the checkup alone.
After the doctorâs examination, Mia received comforting news.âThe baby is healthy, there are no
issues.â
She carefully tucked the Bâscan report into her bag, creating a habit of preserving such important
documents.
After all, those Bâscan pictures were precious snapshots of her child, even if the details were a bit
blurry and

Checking the time and realizing it was still early, Mia decided to head upstairs to find Connor.
Exiting the elevator, she looked up and saw Connor standing in the corridor, accompanied by a woman.
To her surprise, it was Maya.
Mia froze, her gaze locking onto the unexpected scene of Connor and Maya together. A flicker of
bewilderment crossed her eyes as she processed the sight.
Why were they standing together? Did they know each other?
Mia discreetly positioned herself around the corner, avoiding Mayaâs line of sight.
Every encounter with Maya seemed to bring trouble, and Mia was determined to keep her connection
with Connor under wraps to spare him from any unnecessary complications.
As Mia quietly observed, it seemed that Maya was animatedly expressing something, perhaps engaged
in ant argument.
Was there some unresolved history between Connor and Maya?
Meanwhile, Connor appeared somewhat impatient as he addressed Maya, âIâve told you before that Iâm
busy with work. I donât have time to attend your engagement.â
âBut Dominic assured me that you would find time. I wouldnât want my engagement to go by without a
single family member present. It would deeply hurt me.â
âIf youâre adamant about having your family present, why did you turn down Dominicâs offer to help you
locate your biological family?â Connor questioned.
Upon hearing this, Mayaâs complexion grew pale.
