Chapter 379

As soon as Mia finished, Timothy admitted confidently, “You’re right. I am the culprit.”

That threw her off.

Was she hearing things again?

He arched an eyebrow at her surprised face. “What’s with that surprised look? You didn’t know that it

was me?”

He sulked again.

She hesitantly said, “I thought it was my brother.”

“Brother? Since when do you have a brother?”

Mia took control of the conversation swiftly by asking. “Answer me, Timothy Barrett. Why did you

beat Felix to a pulp?”

Had she known the truth, she wouldn’t have come all the way to the hospital only to be disgusted

by Felix and Janice.

Timothy scoffed. “Why not? Can’t I do that?”

Mia was at a loss for words. Timothy was the reason she had endured Felix and Janice’s

repulsive behavior the past few days.

She thought that Claude was the offender, but it turned out to be this bastard!

A pillow flew in Timothy’s direction. “Are you crazy? Couldn’t you have given me a head–up before

doing something like that? I wouldn’t have gotten involved then!”

She wouldn’t have cared about Felix, whether he went to the police dr not.

Why? Because even if the sky fell, Timothy would remain unscathed!

Furious, she demanded, “Leave! I don’t want to see you.”

Timothy easily dodged the pillow as he overlooked her. “Is this your attitude after you learn that I was

the culprit?”

He genuinely believed that she had acted out of concern for him.

She raised an eyebrow. “My attitude changes according to how the other party acts, and this is what

you get. It’s only fair this way, don’t you think?

“Three years ago, I married you when you were involved in a car accident. No one knew if you were

going to survive it or not. But what did I gain in the end? Only a fool will make the same

mistake twice.”

“How would you know if it will be a mistake again without making another attempt?”

Unable to follow him. Ma merely stared at him.

“You haven’t answered my question. Who’s your brother?” His expression appeared somewhat

uneasy

She brushed it of “Just my brother.”

Mia didn’t want to divulge her family matters to Timothy, for reasons she couldn’t quite grasp. Let alone

the fact that she had three brothers and three cousin brothers!

After all, she was planning to leave for Nord City to start a new life there.

The more information Timothy was privy to, the easier it would be for him to track her down.

She should be careful for the sake of her babies.

His eyes narrowed slightly. “What brother?”

To his knowledge. Mia was an orphan.

“We have a lot of relatives in the village. They’re my cousin brothers.”

Next, he eyed her belly and his tone turned stem. “Cut it out. I bet you mean the father of the baby.

right?

She forgot to breathe upon hearing that.

Timothy knew?

He knew about the babies?

She was all worried about the babies the moment she regained consciousness, but Timothy’s presence

turned her into a nervous wreck, causing her to forget all about them.

In fact, wishful thoughts had gotten to her head, deceptively leading her to believe that he would never

know.

Now, reality was telling Mia that wishful thoughts couldn’t do anything to save her.

Before this, scenes of Timothy finding out the truth had played on her mind many times and so she was

mentally prepared for it.

Calming herself down, she reassured herself that he simply found out about the pregnancy, not

that he was the father.

As long as she didn’t admit that the babies were his, she would be able to protect them.

Or so she believed.
