Chapter 386

After Heath finished speaking, he observed Timothy cautiously.

Timothy couldn’t help but light a cigarette. He took only one drag before letting It burn out. As the

smoke escaped his lips, it hid his expression.

He recalled how Connor defended Mia earlier. Did they still need to do a DNA test after that?

In the end, Timothy stayed silent, enveloped in the oppressive haze of cigarette smoke that

seemed thicker than usual that day.

Mia had a nightmare. She dreamed that despite escaping the hospital, she was eventually found

by Timothy’s men.

They brought her back to the hospital and into the operating room. No matter how much she pleaded or

explained that the bables were his, Timothy never relented.

Finally, she lay numb on the operating table, faced with the horror of losing her children.

“No!” she cried out.

She

woke up

from the nightmare, her face wet with tears. When she saw the unfamiliar apartment room, she

breathed a sigh of relief.

She touched her belly, realizing it was just a bad dream. She hadn’t been found by Timothy.

Shortly after, someone cautiously knocked on the door. “Mia?”

“Claude?” Mia recognized Claude’s voice outside the door.

The next moment, she saw Claude push the door open and walk in, looking extremely guilty. “Did

you have a nightmare. Mia?”

Claude had lingered outside the bedroom door, torn between entering and leaving.

Only after hearing Mia’s frightened voice did Claude snap out of it, realizing how much harm his

unreliability had caused his sister this time.

Thinking back on her nightmare, Mia didn’t want to dwell on it. She changed the subject. “Where’s

Connor?”

“A patient had an emergency and Connor rushed back to the hospital. Don’t worry, Mia. I will definitely

stay by your side this time. I promise I won’t be swayed by other women again.”

Mia turned to him. “You don’t have to do this, Claude. This has nothing to do with you.”

She was more concerned about Timothy discovering her pregnancy than Felix and his mother.

However, she didn’t know if Connor had told Claude about it. She believed Connor would keep it a

secret for her.

Claude’s eyes watered. Mia didn’t blame him! When he arrived earlier, Connor’s scolding had made

him ashamed and he couldn’t bring himself to look anywhere else but the ground. He was

terrified that Mia would be angry at him.

Yet, Mia never blamed him for it!

Claude wiped the corners of his eyes and his tone

and make Felix and his mother pay.”

turned cold. “Don’t worry, Mla. I will avenge you

Mia recalled the harsh beating Felix got from Timothy’s men and pursed her lip. “That can wait. I’ll

handle it myself.”

It was true that Timothy assaulted Felix. Although the Barretts‘ legal team was formidable, Barrett

Group’s image would still be affected if news got out.

She had to hold the cards in her hand, at least until Connor arranged for her to move out.

Claude reluctantly agreed, but his anger remained. He had to find an opportunity to deal with Felix. He

heard Felix had a studio.

Mia suddenly spoke up, “Claude, I’m hungry. I want to eat the food from that popular restaurant we

went to last time.”

“Okay, I’ll call them right away.” Claude nodded.

After Claude left the room, Mia took out her phone and called Felix.
