Mia instinctively held her breath when she heard the approaching footsteps.

After all, Timothy had just called her. Did he know she was hiding in this park?

Mia curled up cautiously, her heart racing with fear. What If Timothy found her? With Laura still in the

ICU, seeking her help wasn’t an option!

“Mia?” came a voice.

Mia jerked up and exclaimed with relief, “Connor!”

Mia nearly broke into tears when she saw Connor. Thankfully, the first person to find her wasn’t

Timothy!

“What’s wrong, Mia? Why are you wearing a hospital gown?” Connor almost lost his mind when he saw

Mia huddled behind a rock, looking distressed. He rushed to her side and asked worriedly. What

happened? Who hurt you?”

Which asshole dared to bully his sister?

Mia grabbed Connor’s hand. “Connor, get me out of here, now!”

She didn’t want to explain much and just wanted to leave.

Feeling Mia’s urgency, Connor went along and decided to leave.

Once in the car, Mia nervously scanned their surroundings, checking the rearview mirror for

signs of pursuit.

After a while, it seemed like no one was following them.

Mia’s tense shoulders relaxed a little. But she knew this wasn’t over, and Timothy wouldn’t give

up easily.

Connor couldn’t help but ask, “Mia, what’s wrong? Tell me.”

Mia leaned back in her seat and took a deep breath. “Connor, Timothy found out about my pregnancy.”

“What? How did he find out?” Connor was shocked.

Mia recounted the incident with Felix and his mother, and how she almost got hurt when Felix’s mother

pushed her. Coincidentally, she was on the phone with Timothy then, and he found out about her

pregnancy after rushing to the hospital.

Connor’s face was red with anger. “Claude was right. Felix is a bastard. How dare he hurt you?

Don’t worry, Mia. I’ll deal with him.”

“Connor, my children are what matters now.” Mia shook her head.

Connor turned to her in surprise. “Although I don’t want Timothy to know about your pregnancy. it’s not

the end of the world if he does. With Jason around, you won’t have a problem getting

custody of them.”

Mia sighed to herself. It wasn’t about custody.

Timothy doubted the babies were his and wanted to get rid of them. Mia wanted to confess but

was afraid to tell Connor the truth.

If Connor and Timothy got into a fight, Connor would lose.

Mia quickly changed the subject. “Connor, I want to go back to Nord City.”

She couldn’t stay here.

Connor understood Mia’s sudden decision. She was probably worried Timothy would take the

child. But Connor also thought it was about time for Mia to go home.

Maya had been taking care of Margaret back in Nord City because she didn’t want Dominic to

revoke her adoption, using Margaret as a bargaining chip.

If Mia went home with them, Margaret wouldn’t be influenced by Maya anymore. After all, Maya

was nothing in the face of blood–relation.

After some thought, Connor agreed. “Okay, I’ll tell Dominic as soon as I get back to arrange your

return to Nord City.”

He stared at Mia. “Why are you out here alone? You’re pregnant and should take better care of

yourself. Where’s Claude? You should have him accompany you when you meet up with Felix.”
