Meet My Brothers
Sharon smiled knowingly. âMs. Lane, as I mentioned earlier, Mrs. Barrett Seniorâs surgery has been
successfully carried out.
âTimâs respect for Mrs. Barrett Senior is what led him to endure Miaâs presence for so long. Now that
the surgery is finished, itâs only a matter of time before Mia is promptly shown the door.â
Mayaâs expression turned smug as she remembered something. âBut what about Mrs. Barrett Seniorâs
heir agreement?â
âNo need to worry. Mia isnât pregnant. That document is merely worthless paper.â
After pondering for a moment, Maya felt much more relieved.
Mia descended the stairs to join Connor, and together they headed home.
As Mia sat in the passenger seat, her mind churned with thoughts of Mayaâs accusations earlier. The
memory of being labeled a harasser by Maya stirred a deep sense of disgust within Mia.
She was well aware of Mayaâs questionable ethics but hadnât anticipated them sinking to such depths.
Connor drove cautiously, attentively monitoring Miaâs expression. He feared that Mia might have
uncovered their true identities during her altercation with Maya.
After some time, Connor gathered the courage to inquire, âMia, what did you and Maya discuss
earlier?â
Miaâs expression shifted slightly, a hint of awkwardness crossing her features. âHonestly, we didnât talk
much. I just escorted her upstairs to see Grandma Laura outside the intensive care unit.
âWe didnât discuss anything important.â Mia couldnât possibly divulge to Connor that Maya had accused
her of harassment, could she?
Upon hearing Miaâs response, Connor finally exhaled a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing concerning
had emerged from Mia and Mayaâs conversation, easing his worries.
âConnor, do you know Maya?â Mia suddenly asked.
Connor swallowed nervously. âWell, Iâve encountered her a couple of times at the hospital.â
Mia nodded in understanding. Given that Mayaâs brother was a skilled surgeon, it was logical for
Considering Connorâs employment at the same hospital & made ansatt det paths had
crossed on occasion.
âWhy the sudden interest? Connor probed.
âItâs nothing. I was simply curious. Maya seems to think thereâs something romantic between us. and
Timothy shares the same sentiment. Mis replied with a resigned smile.
Connor felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead âSâSo, how did you respond?â
!! Mis disclosed their sibling relationship, Maya would undoubtedly be aware of it by this point.
âI didnât bother to clarity. If they want to misinterpret things, let them. It doesnât really bother A glimmer
of sarcasm flickered in Miaâs eyes.
She had no intention of causing problems for Connor with Maya, and as for Timothy, Mia simply
preferred to avoid the topic entirely.
âMia, why not just tell Timothy and Maya that Iâm your brother?â Connor proposed.
Observing Miaâs reaction, Connor felt a bit disheartened. He hadnât been aware that Mia had kept their
identities hidden all along.
Connor and his brothers had always thought they were good at hiding their true relationship.
Mia smiled faintly. âThere isnât much to discuss anyway. Iâll be departing Bern City and relocating to
Nord City in a few months. Itâs best to keep things brief to avoid any unnecessary complications.â
âMia, are you concerned about trouble for yourself, or are you worried about implicating us?â
Connor suddenly understood Miaâs intention behind her words about disclosing limited information. It
was clear that Mia was being cautious, trying to avoid any potential trouble.
For a moment. Connorâs eyes welled up slightly.
He never realized that Mia had been the one safeguarding their secret identities all along. concealing it
from everyone.
Meanwhile, Connor and his brothers had mistakenly commended themselves, believing they were
skilled at hiding the truth.
Mia offered a gentle smile. âActually, it doesnât really matter. I just prefer to keep unnecessary people
from knowing too much.â

Observing Miaâs understanding smille, Connor swallowed nervously before speaking. âMia, thereâs
something I need to tell you.â
