Chapter 459
Meet My Brothers
Seeing Lauraâs excitement about her babies, Mia felt torn.
If she were to suddenly disappear in the future, Laura would undoubtedly be devastated and consumed
with worry for Mia and her twins.
Hence, why not disclose the âtruthâ to Laura at this moment?
Mia considered disclosing to Laura that her pregnancy had been a pretense, fabricated solely to
persuade her into undergoing surgery.
Despite the likelihood of Laura being upset, Mia reasoned that revealing the truth before leaving Bern
City could alleviate Lauraâs future sadness.
âMia, what did you want to say?â Laura asked.
Caught in her tender gaze, Miaâs eyes welled up with tears. âGrandma, thereâs something I need to
confess. Iâve been deceiving you all this time. The truth is, I was never-â
âGrandma!â Timothyâs firm voice cut off Miaâs sentence abruptly.
He pushed the door to the ward open and entered, his footsteps drew closer until he stopped beside
her. Miaâs breath caught as she turned to find Timothy in a pinstripe suit, his white sleeves visible.
Mia couldnât help but clench her hands tightly together; she was on the verge of confessing the truth to
Laura.
Unfortunately, Timothyâs sudden appearance at that moment interrupted Miaâs words. It was truly
exasperating!
Considering it was early morning, shouldnât Timothy be occupied with work and meetings at the office?
Mia found herself somewhat annoyed by Timothyâs unexpected appearance at the hospital. Was he
here to stir up trouble?
Laura glanced at Timothy and asked nonchalantly, âSo, are you finally willing to come and see me?â
In a composed tone, Timothy replied, âGrandma, I was here just a couple of days ago.â
Laura expressed her disappointment, saying, âWell, considering you came alone, it would have been
better if you hadnât come at all.â
However, her demeanor softened as she turned to Mia, offering a warm smile. âMia, why donât you pick
something you like?
âIâll arrange for it to be purchased and aired out for your future children to use when theyâre born.â
Seeing Lauraâs joyful expression, Mia felt uneasy.
However, as she accepted the tablet, her mood turned solemn.
âSy the way, Mia, what were you about to tell me just now?â Laura chimed in.
Mia stood there with the tablet in her hands, yet she couldnât muster the courage to utter the words she
had intended to say.
Feeling overwhelmed by Timothyâs persistent gaze beside her, Mia could only force a smile and reply,â
Itâs nothing really.
âIâve been occupied with the design of the university hall lately, and it turned out to be a great success. I
simply wanted to share this good news with you.â
âThatâs great. Mia, now that your busy schedule is behind you, please make sure to prioritize rest.
âIâve noticed youâve lost weight recently, and I know pregnancy can be challenging. Please, donât let me
worry about you.â
Mia nodded affirmatively. âI understand. Following this hectic period, I wonât undertake any additional
tasks. Instead, Iâll concentrate solely on attending classes and getting ready for my exams.â
At the mention of âexamsâ, Timothy glanced at Mia; it seemed like she was getting ready for
graduation. Laura nodded in approval. âThatâs wonderful. Once youâve graduated, make sure to stay
home and take good care of yourself. Weâll address everything else after youâve given birth.â
Mia gazed down at her tablet, unable to muster the courage to meet Lauraâs eyes. As Mia observed the
images of the baby crib and stroller on the screen, she couldnât help but feel overwhelmed.
âGrandma, Iâm finding it hard to decide too. Without seeing the actual items, itâs tough to make a
choice.â
âI understand. Since Timothy is here today, why donât you both go to the store together to make a
selection?â Laura suggested.
Mia quickly lifted her head and declined, saying, âGrandma, Iâm certain heâs swamped with work and
wouldnât have time to join me. I can manage on my own.â
However, the next moment, Timothyâs voice chimed in beside her. âI actually have some free time later.
We can go shopping for a couple of hours.â
