Chapter 205

Connor tensed as soon as the nurse said that.

He was on the verge of being exposed!

Dubious, Mia looked at him. “Sister?”

She wondered if he had another sister.

He quickly explained, “Mia, you’re my only sister. I swear!”

Never once had he acknowledged Maya as his sister.

Connor’s nervous reaction tickled Mia’s funny bones. “I didn’t even say anything, Connor. Why so

tense?”

It was as though a girlfriend caught her boyfriend cheating on her.

He let out a wry cough. “Anyway, I just wanted to straighten things out.”

He turned to face the nurse. “I got it. I’ll leave in a while.”

The nurse was interrupted midway because he knew who the guest was.

Today, Connor had an appointment with Timothy to discuss the surgical plan.

Who would’ve expected Mia to be sent to the emergency room? Her well–being was of utmost

importance at the moment.

“You should go ahead, Connor. I can manage here.”

Felix reassured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll look after her.”

Connor nodded. “Rest up, Mia. We’ll head home together later.”

Then, he took the elevator back to his office.

He pushed the door open to see Maya and Timothy. His expression spoke of tranquility.

Joyful, Maya rose from her seat. “Connor, I’ve called you many times but you didn’t answer. Are you

busy today?”

“Yes. There was an emergency.”

Maya’s eyes lit up. “Was the patient a woman?”

If her vision served her correctly, Mia was carried to the emergency room.

Timothy suddenly cast his gaze in Connor’s direction, eager to know the answer.

If it was really Mia, Timothy wondered how she was doing right now.

Connor’s skeptical gaze alternated between the duo before fixating upon Timothy.

Memories of Timothy taking Mia to the hospital conjured up in Connor’s head, prompting a negative

answer

+15 BONOS

He would never admit that, in hope that Mia sever ties with Timothy for good.

Maya sighed inwardly. It was a missed opportunity for her. If the patient turned out to be Mia, Maya

could

seize the chance to degrade Mia, tarnishing her reputation further.

Timothy averted his gaze and suggested, “Let’s focus on the matter at hand.”

He personally came over to discuss the surgical plan for Laura’s case.

Connor settled into his seat. “Actually, you didn’t need to come for the surgical plan. I planned to

discuss it with the other doctors. There’s not much we can do even if we talk about it right now. You’re

not a doctor, Mr. Barrett. It’s not within your purview.”

Maya’s face fell at that. “Connor, Timothy came because he is genuinely concerned about his

grandmother.”

Timothy shot a cold look at Maya, and she broke into a cold sweat.

Not even her gutsy side dared to meet his eye.

In truth, she lied to Timothy about the finalized surgical plan so that she could bring him to the hospital.

She didn’t expect the truth to be revealed by Connor so straightforwardly.

Maya’s guilty expression caught on Connor’s radar, giving him an inkling of the situation.

He asked on purpose, “Maya, did you clearly tell Mr. Barrett about it?”

“Connor, I think it’s best for Timothy to talk to you so that both parties know more about each others‘

request. That’ll be best for Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery.” She racked her brain to come up with an

explanation.

Her back was drenched in sweat.

If Connor revealed the truth about the surgery, would Timothy call off the engagement?
