Chapter 270

It seemed like Mia, having successfully seduced Linden, had now also become entangled with

Connor!

This explained why Connor had been reluctant to disclose the reason for agreeing to perform surgery

for Laura earlier.

Could it be because of Mia?

All the perplexing mysteries that eluded Maya before suddenly fell into place.

Mia orchestrated everything! This bitch shamelessly dared to seduce Connor for her own benefit,

displaying no remorse!

Maya was tempted to push the door open and personally expose Mia’s true colors. Yet, in the end.

she restrained herself.

If she were to burst in now, Mia might conjure up various excuses.

Maya was determined to devise a comprehensive plan to fully unveil Mia’s true character–a

single revelation that would settle everything.

Inside the hospital room, Mia suddenly glanced toward the window.

Connor followed her gaze, asking. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.” Mia replied.

She had a hunch that someone might be outside. Perhaps it was merely a passerby.

Offering her a piece of fruit, Connor remarked, “Mia, Timothy went the extra mile to assist you in this

challenging situation. His attitude toward you seems somewhat petuliar.”

Upon hearing this, Mia’s expression took on an awkward demeanor. “Connor, the only reason. Timothy

assisted me is due to Grandma Laura’s influence.

*She always treated me kindly, and if something were to happen to me, she would undoubtedly

hold him accountable for not helping.”

“Is that the only reason?” Connor inquired.

Mia nodded. “Yes, what else could it possibly be?”

She found it hard to believe that Timothy still harbored feelings for her. The idea seemed

implausible.

It seemed Timothy was more than willing to finalize their divorce and completely erase her from

his life.

Observing Mia’s apparent indifference toward Timothy, Connor felt a sense of relief. Mia’s slower

response might be advantageous, making her less vulnerable to deception by men.

Mia asserted. “Connor, I’d like to head home tonight. I don’t want to spend more time in the

hospital.”

“Absolutely, heading home to rest sounds like a good plan. If you ever feel uncomfortable at any

moment, feel free to give me a call.”

Mia nodded obediently, and shortly afterward, she was granted a discharge, eagerly anticipating

her release from the confines of the hospital.

Connor stood by her side, escorting her out of the medical facility.

In a nearby corner, Maya observed as Connor escorted Mia to the car. Her gaze turned notably

colder as she commented, “Mia, you seem to have a talent for keeping secrets, don’t you?”

Blake added. “Ms. Lane, Mia probably got acquainted with Connor through Linden.”

“I’m aware. You don’t need to remind me. This bitch only knows how to advance by exploiting

men. This time. I’ll ensure she faces consequences.”

Maya already had a plan unfolding in her mind.

Upon entering the car, Mia couldn’t help but sneeze. Was she coming down with a cold?

Despite this, she paid little attention to it and proceeded to take the cab back home.

Upon Mia’s return, Patricia broke into tears. “Mia, it’s my fault for not being vigilant and allowing

Bob and Mary to conspire against and mistreat you this time.

“Their actions have crossed the line! How could they plot to send you into the mountains? Is it

even possible for someone to endure in such a harsh environment?”

Mia comforted Patricia with a hug. “I’m fine, aren’t I? With my brothers around, nothing will

happen to me.”

“This time, Bob and Mary must face the consequences, so they won’t keep causing you trouble in

the future.”

“I understand.”

Mia was somewhat taken aback by Patricia’s assertiveness. After all, Patricia had consistently

“Mia, I’ve prepared a hearty soup for you. Please indulge in it to regain your strength. I can only

imagine how unsettling these past few days must have been for you.”

Mia compliantly sipped the soup, her thoughts turning to the baby growing within her.

Upon finishing, Dominic and Eva arrived. Dominic stated, “Mia, there’s something we need to

discuss with you.”
