Chapter 389

Mia stood frozen in place. She never expected Timothy to arrive so soon.

She had rushed here, eager to see Laura before Timothy showed up. She planned to slip away quietly

afterward.

She never thought she would still bump into him.

Mia could hear Timothy approaching behind her. His footsteps were steady yet powerful, and Mia found

herself holding her breath.

The few seconds were like torture to her.

When the footsteps ceased, she felt a chilling gaze on her back, like a knife waiting to cut her down at

any second.

Timothy loomed behind her, his presence casting a shadow over her. He pursed his lips tightly before

asking Martha, “Where’s Grandma Laura?”

“She’s been taken in for an examination. But the doctor said she seemed fine, so there shouldn’t be

any issues.” Martha reassured.

Timothy’s expression softened and he continued. “Martha, thank you for taking care of her.”

“It’s my pleasure. When Mrs. Barrett Senior sees both of you here later, or rather, when she sees all

three of you together, I bet she’ll be very happy.” Martha smiled.

Mia’s smile faltered. She felt the chill emanating from the man beside her, and the temperature seemed

to drop around them.

She couldn’t help but find this situation ironic. Martha’s unwitting remark had struck a nerve.

Timothy’s gaze darkened and he said slowly, “Martha, you can go rest now. I’ll stay here.”

“I’m fine, but I can go tidy up the room where Mrs. Barrett will be staying.” Martha was good at reading

the room and wouldn’t want to disturb the couple’s conversation.

After Martha left, Mia’s breath caught and she tensed up. What would happen to her without Martha

around?

The corridor suddenly fell quiet.

Feeling his intense stare, Mia straightened her back but remained silent.

After a while. Timothy’s voice came from beside her. “Aren’t you going to hide?”

Mia trembled but she couldn’t avoid him now. If she kept avoiding him like this, she wouldn’t be

able to protect her child. She pursed her lips and muttered, “Should I have waited for you to make

a move instead of hiding?”

Timothy averted his gaze, his expression clouded with complexity. “I’m glad we’re on the same page. I

find it hard to believe the child is fine after jumping off from such a high place.”

Mia touched her belly. “Yes, we’re quite lucky.”

“Have you thought it through? What good will keeping the child bring to you?” Timothy didn’t

understand why Mia insisted on keeping the child. Did she know that her body wasn’t suitable to

get an abortion?

Mia didn’t dare to look into his eyes. “This is my decision.”

“What if I insist that you get rid of this child? I’ll find you the best doctor so that you can still have

children after you recover. But it doesn’t matter even if you can’t.”

It made no difference to Timothy if he had a child.

After hearing this, the color slowly faded from Mia’s cheeks. Just as she thought, Timothy wasn’t going

to spare the child.

Her hand fell from her belly, and she looked up at Timothy. “Timothy Barrett, you should know by now

that Grandma Laura has been looking forward to the child in my belly.”

Timothy narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Are you using Grandma Laura to threaten me? She just

came back from the brink of death!”

Mia lowered her eyes. “If that’s what you think I’m doing, so be it.”

She needed to protect herself and drag this out.

The air suddenly tensed. Timothy’s eyes glowed with threat and warning, but there was another

emotion that Mia couldn’t make out hidden deep within them.
