Chapter 385

Connor carefully took the phone, afraid to wake up the sleeping Mia.

He took the phone outside and wondered who the caller might be.

Connor initially wanted to ignore the call. But the persistent ringing hinted at urgency. He finally

answered, “Hello, who’s this?”

On the other end, Timothy recognized the familiar male voice and his expression soured. “Connor?

“Timothy.” Connor didn’t expect Timothy to be the caller. But he couldn’t deny Mia’s accurate

labeling!

Tempers flared between the two men.

Connor chuckled. “You’ve got some nerve calling.”

Seething. Timothy demanded, “Put Mia on the phone!”

That pregnant woman sure could run. He had been searching for her the entire day and was even

scared that she might have fallen over. And now, she had her lover answering the call.

He shouldn’t have been worried!

Connor’s tone turned icy. “Who do you think you are? You think Mia will just hop on the phone

because you demand it? I’m warning you, Timothy, stay the hell away from her or you’ll regret it!”

If it weren’t for Mia’s sake, he would’ve informed Dominic long ago.

“This is Bern City, not Nord City. Stop acting tough, Connor. I’ll say it one last time, get Mia on the

phone.”

Timothy’s tone was arrogant but confident. The Lanes might be a big shot in Nord City, but he held the

power in Bern City.

Connor’s expression turned unpleasant. “Timothy Barrett, who do you think you are?”

“I am Mia’s husband!” Timothy huffed.

Connor was furious and hissed, “Timothy, Mia’s pregnant. Your actions will only hurt her!”

It would be better to divorce sooner rather than later and to let Mia return to Nord City.

Unmoved, Timothy insisted, “This isn’t up to you. Even if Mia’s pregnant, she’s still my wife. I

“in your dreams!” Connor flatly refused. “Timothy, although this is Bern City, the Lanes in Nord City

aren’t afraid of you! If you dare lay a finger on her, we’ll come for your head!”

“Let’s wait and see then! Here in Bern City, there’s not a single person that I, Timothy Barrett, can’t

find!” declared Timothy,

Connor’s face hardened. “Let me remind you, Mrs. Barrett Senior is still in the ICU, and who knows

what might happen. I’m the chief surgeon, and I know her condition best. If you dare touch Mia, well

you know the consequences!”

Timothy grew furious. “Are you threatening me?”

“I am! The Lanes are not to be trifled with!” Connor hung up. He didn’t have a shadow of doubt. that the

Lanes could protect their own!

At this point, they didn’t care if Mia found out who they really were. They had to protect Mia and her

children no matter the cost.

Timothy’s expression turned ugly, and anger was radiating off him. Finally, he turned to Heath.” Have

you found her?”

“Not yet, but I have stationed people at Mrs. Barrett’s school and set up some cameras in her house.

We’ll find her once she appears,” informed Heath.

“Stop the operation and recall our men.” Timothy huffed.

Heath was puzzled but complied once he saw Timothy’s expression.

What a mess.

Heath had sworn to help solve people’s problems as long as they paid him. He hesitated. “Mr. Barrett, I

would like to give my two cents on this.”

“Go ahead,” said Timothy.

“I don’t think Mrs. Barrett Is that kind of woman. With how advanced technology is now, we could

always do a prenatal paternity test to see who the child’s father is.”
