Chapter 427

Mia felt as if she were purging everything from her stomach.

Could it be caused by something she ate for lunch?

As Mia paused, a bottle of mineral water was offered to her. She couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s

long. elegant fingers as he handed it over.

Mia didn’t hesitate to take the water, quickly opening it and having a few sips, which instantly revitalized

her.

However, she felt some discomfort and gently touched her lower abdomen, unable to pinpoint the

but sensing that something was wrong.

Furrowing his brow, Timothy glanced at Mia’s stomach. “What’s wro

“It’s nothing serious, just feeling a bit nauseous from the greasy meal I had earlier.”

Mia didn’t think her nausea was a major concern, as she had been managing her pregnancy quite well,

with only occasional morning sickness.

As she prepared to leave. Timothy held her wrist, his gaze intense. “You should go to the hospital for a

check–up,” he said firmly.

Mia looked at him, surprised by his sudden concern, and subtly moved her hand away. “It’s not a big

deal; there’s no need to go to the hospital.”

But Timothy stepped in front of her, his tone tinged with annoyance. “Don’t you realize your current

condition? What if there’s a problem? Are you able to manage it?”

Timothy frowned. It seemed to him that Mia, as a pregnant woman, lacked self–awareness.

Timothy understood the delicate nature of pregnancy, knowing that any lack of care could result in

serious complications. He was aware of the risks involved in childbirth.

Mia was about to decline, but Kennedy interjected. “You’ve really been pushing yourself these past few

days, Mia.

“Since everything here is almost set up, perhaps you should just listen to Mr. Barrett and go to the

hospital. It’ll ease his worry.”

Mia couldn’t fathom why Timothy would be concerned about her.

It appeared that Kennedy’s actions were solely aimed at pleasing Timothy.

Timothy’s demeanor also became slightly uneasy, causing an instant shift in the atmosphere between

them.

Feeling uncomfortable, Mia turned away and responded, “It’s fine. I’m just experiencing a slight

stomach.

ache from lunch.”

She was reluctant to go to the hospital just because of a mere morning sickness, fearing the

embarrassment it might bring.

With that, Mia began to depart, yet after only a few steps, her vision blurred, and her legs faltered

beneath

her.

Just as Mia was on the brink of falling. Timothy caught her with his broad arms.

Straining to open her eyes, Mia glimpsed Timothy’s handsome profile, his features distinguished and

appealing.

Mia found herself incapable of speaking, overwhelmed by a pervasive weakness that eventually

caused

her to lose consciousness.

Timothy lifted her tenderly, swiftly leaving the hall.

As he settled Mia into the car, he urgently instructed, “Proceed to the hospital at once. Notify the ob–

With that, Timothy bowed his head, gazing at the unconscious Mia in his embrace, noting her

He kicked Rodger’s seat and firmly instructed, “Drive faster!”

With determination, Rodger sped toward the hospital.

Dr. Dakota Hudson stood by the hospital’s entrance, waiting for their arrival.

As Timothy carried Mia out of the car, Sky hastily approached him. “Mr. Barrett, as

doctors and all the required equipment are on standby.”

Timothy’s expression remained stoic as he inquired, “Where is the operating room?”

“On the third floor,” Kennedy confirmed.

He stood by, feeling helpless as he watched Timothy carry Mia toward the elevator, beads of sweat

forming on his forehead.

Kennedy was perplexed by Timothy’s actions but hesitated to voice his confusion.

Heath quickly approached and caught up with Timothy. “Mr. Barrett, it would be faster to use a gurney.

This way, the doctors and nurses can examine Ms. Bowen promptly.”
