Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.
Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.
As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.
Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?" "He doesn't. Sthings are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.
Mia harbored slingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?" "Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well.
"At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family lineage. But as tpassed, my sentiments evolved, and I genuinely wished for his happiness-envisioning him finding love, establishing a family, and embracing a fulfilling life." After a brief silence, Mia intervened, "You should take srest now. I'll go speak to Mrs. Barrett and straighten things out." "Mia, do you perceiveas a bad person?" Laura's voice quivered with uncertainty.
Mia tenderly clasped Laura's hand, reassuring her, "You've shown him nothing but kindness, and he holds you in high regard. That's what truly counts." Indeed, capturing the intricacies of human relationships in just a few words proved to be quite challenging.
At that moment, Sage approached Mia. "Mommy, what's wrong?" "It's nothing," Mia replied, gently patting Sage's head. "Did you manage to fix that bug?" "It was just a minor glitch. Nothing too difficult forto handle," Sage affirmed confidently. Frowning slightly, he added, "But Timothy does seem to have a lot on his plate." "Yeah, well, Uncle Dominic is just as tied up with work. They're both practically workaholics, aren't they?" Mia remarked casually. With that, she exited the hospital with Ginger and Sage, not sparing even a glance at Timothy.
During the journey, Ginger remained unusually quiet.
After dinner at home, Mia pondered investigating the issue Laura had brought up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon finding Ginger alone in the room, Sage approached her and asked, "What's going on?" Ginger then recounted the conversation she had overheard with Sage. Feeling a pang of empathy, she added, "Sage, it appears he has a rough past too." Sage tightened his lips, startled by the disclosure about Timothy's background.
The following day, Mia arranged a face-to-face meeting with Sharon.
Upon entering the café, Sharon swept into the private room with an air of superiority. "What's the problem? Spit it out quickly; don't have tto waste," she snapped. "Luna has been apprehended," Mia stated plainly, noticing the change in Sharon's demeanor.
Sharon hesitated, her words faltering, "B-but isn't her arrest justified?" "Don't you want to know how Luna was caught?" Mia countered.
"Well, that deceitful woman got what was coming to her," Sharon asserted.
Mia's tone remained steady as she disclosed, "Luna was the one who pushed Mrs. Barrett Senior down the stairs. Upon learning of Mrs. Barrett Senior's recovery, Luna hurried to the hospital out of fear her crwould be revealed. She attempted to remove Mrs. Barrett Senior's ventilator discreetly, hoping to silence her permanently." Sharon was shocked. "How could she? Did she honestly think our family wouldn't discover the truth? If it weren't for her influence, the bone marrow switch wouldn't have happened. It's all her fault. S Mia couldn't help but notice the stark change in Sharon's demeanor from earlier.
"Is this the only reason you've approached me? Or are you feeling uneasy because Timothy promised to transfer his assets to me?" "No, I'm here because Mrs. Barrett Senior has a message forto convey to you."
