Chapter 179

A flicker of guilt crossed Maya’s eyes; she harbored no desire to be reunited with her biological family.

Being discarded in the past signified their lack of desire for her, or perhaps an inability to provide for

her.

With the Lane family offering such favorable conditions and Maya holding the title of heiress, she

wondered if it was necessary to search for her birth parents.

Was biological family really that important?

Having experienced hardships in the orphanage, Maya recognized the significance of wealth and social

standing. Hence, she had no interest in reconnecting with her birth family.

With a hint of reluctance, Maya responded, “Regardless of whether I find my biological family or not, it

doesn’t impact my engagement.

“You all are my family now, and that’s why I sincerely hope you can join me and Timothy for our

engagement

ceremony.”

Connor observed her with a scrutinizing gaze. “Maya, you’ve achieved your goal. I’ve agreed to

perform the

surgery on Grandma. There’s no need to be overly demanding.”

“But Connor, I’m a part of the family too. How can asking for your presence at my wedding be

considered

greedy?”

*Dominic was the one who brought you back initially. Honestly, I never supported Dominic’s decision,

so I’ve

never really regarded you as my sister.

“And let’s not forget, Maya, the years you’ve spent claiming the title of the Lane family heiress–you’re

well

aware of your actions.

“I know precisely what kind of person you are, so it’s in your best interest to show some restraint.”

Due to Connor’s understanding of Maya’s nature, he decided to conceal her identity and refrain from

publicly disclosing Mia’s, aiming to prevent any potential drastic actions from Maya.

With this revelation. Maya’s last glimmer of hope was shattered as she realized that pretense was no

longer a

viable option.

During her childhood, Connor had seen through her facade on several occasions. As a result, she had

always kept her distance from him, fearing that he might expose her true identity.

Brushing away the tears in her eyes, Maya responded calmly, “Connor, Dominic assured me that you

and the others would be present at my engagement.

“If not, I’ll be left with no choice but to inform Grandma.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Connor snapped.

“Connor, I don’t want to disturb Grandma’s peace, considering her kindness toward me over the years.

All I’m asking is for my family to be there with me during the engagement ceremony–a simple request.”

With her words lingering in the air, Maya gracefully turned and walked away. However, her expression

was notably grim, She hadn’t anticipated Connor to unveil everything so directly.

Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. Once she married Timothy, she wouldn’t have to endure such humiliation

anymore.

As Maya departed, Mia emerged from around the corner. Approaching Connor, she cautiously began,

“Connor, is that you?”

Initially feeling a bit agitated, Connor’s demeanor shifted to surprise upon hearing Mia’s voice. “Mia,

why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I came for a prenatal checkup and thought I’d drop by to see you: I didn’t expect to find you talking to

Maya, so I decided not to interrupt,” Mia explained.

Connor’s expression grew uneasy. “You saw us?”

Mia nodded. “Connor, do you happen to know Maya?”

To Mia, it appeared they were more than mere acquaintances, almost as if they shared a deeper

connection.

Connor’s mind raced, and he quickly clarified, “Maya approached me to discuss Grandma Laura’s

surgery. I’ll be performing the procedure this time.”

“Oh, I see. With your expertise, I trust you’ll handle it well,” Mia replied.

She was aware of the intricate nature of this surgery, requiring collaboration among several doctors,

but she

hadn’t expected Connor to be involved.

Relieved that Mia accepted his explanation, Connor instinctively let out a sigh.

Fortunately, she harbored no suspicions. He had come dangerously close to slipping up just moments

ago.
