Chapter 888

Nicholas stepped forward. "I was the one by Mia's side when she was having a hard time trying to keep

Ginger that year. She had to stay in bed in the hospital for a whole month to prevent miscarriage.

"You don't know how much she has suffered, so what gives you the right to make decisions when it

comes to the child?"

Timothy didn't back off. "I didn't know anything about it that year. If I knew what was happening then, I

would've stayed by her side to protect them."

"Enough. You had your first love with you back then. We won't buy that, we're not fools. I'm not going to

let you come close to Mia or hurt her,” Nicholas asserted.

Nicholas witnessed how Mia overcame her struggles all these years. She suffered a lot in delivering the

twins.

There was no way he would let Timothy intrude into Mia's life now. Timothy gazed at Mia. "I was wrong

that year, so I want to—"

"But I don't need you to make up for it," Mia interrupted him. "Mr. Barrett, I have everything I need now.

I don't need you to do anything.” Nicholas added, "Money, status, a medical team. Mia has everything

here. What else do you think you can provide to make up for it? And what rights do you have to do so?"

Timothy's words were stuck in his throat.

Mia pulled Nicholas aside. "You have something to do, don't you? Go ahead. I can wait for you."

He nodded. "Okay. It won't take long. Call me if anything happens.” Once Nicholas left, she looked at

Timothy. "You should leave too." Timothy, who was walking toward her, stopped in his tracks.

It took him a while to form a coherent sentence. "I crossed the line with my words. I hope you won't

take it to heart.”

"Honestly, I don't care about this. But you shouldn't have spoken to Nick that way. You should apologize

to him."

"Are you telling me to apologize to that guy?" He looked at her in disbelief.

Something was stifling in his chest, suffocating him, because of her words.

Why should he apologize to that guy?

Mia looked at him sternly. "Because I would've suffered from a miscarriage if it weren't for his help. I

was able to give birth to my child thanks to him. That's why he's the godfather."

Nicholas saved her child!

Frustration bubbled in Timothy as he fell silent for a moment. "I'll buy something to thank that doctor.”

"Save it. Just give him the respect he deserves. Ginger has had a weak body since she was born. Itis

Nicholas’ medical team that has been figuring out solutions for her case.” Mia had always been grateful

for Nicholas.

Timothy couldn't be any more annoyed than he was right now. "There are great doctors in Bern City

too. You can bring her there.”

Mia arched her brow mockingly. “So you think that's possible? Timothy, it's been years but you haven't

changed.”

He was that same egoistic man.

Why must she bring her child to Bern City?

Back then, she racked her brain just to bring her children away from the Barretts. Now, there was no

way she would leave her children with them.

At that moment, Nicholas rushed out of the elevator.

He extended his hand to Mia. "Mia, let's go."

Right when Mia was going to go to Nicholas, Timothy extended his hand too.
