Mia nodded in response, and simultaneously, they both stopped discussing the previous topic.
She turned her gaze to the scenery outside the window, contemplating the wedding venue she had
personally designed. A wave of irony washed over her.
Tomorrow marked Maya’s engagement to Timothy.
Mia lowered her eyes, a trace of self–mockery crossing her face.
Despite being aware that this day would inevitably arrive, when it finally did, a sense of emptiness
settled
deep within her heart.
Upon reaching the hospital, Connor parked his car. “Mia, stay here for a moment. I’ll finish up quickly
and join
you soon.”
“It’s alright, Connor. I have to return to the studio. Let’s both head home early for dinner tonight.”
Connor gazed at her. “Don’t push yourself too hard,” he urged.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtObserving Connor enter Peace Hospital, Mia hailed a taxi and directed it straight to the private hospital.
Suddenly, Mia felt an inexplicable urge to visit Laura.
With Timothy and Maya’s engagement scheduled for this week and Laura’s surgery set for the next,
having
Maya’s capable brother around offered assurance for Laura’s well–being.
It was the only aspect Mia felt thankful for at the moment.
Armed with a bouquet of flowers, Mia headed to Laura’s hospital room. Upon entering, she found Laura
seated on the bed engrossed in a book. “Grandma,” Mia greeted.
“Mia, you’re here. Come, sit down. It’s been a while since your last visit. Is work keeping you
occupied?” Laura
inquired.
Lowering her gaze, Mia confessed, “Indeed, it’s been quite hectic lately, and the numerous college
classes are only contributing to my workload.”
“Well, don’t push yourself too hard. With Tim working diligently to support the family, you don’t need to
burden yourself. Prioritize your health, especially now that you’re pregnant,” Laura advised.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Mia replied, “I understand, Grandma. By the way, how have
you been lately? Have you experienced any discomfort recently?”
“I’ve been doing well. It’s your pregnancy that’s making me worry. Mia, listen to me. When the later
trimester comes, don’t go to the studio to work. I’m genuinely concerned about your well–being.”
Mia gently touched her belly. “Okay, I promise.”
Regardless, as her belly grew too prominent to conceal, Mia intended to return to Nord City with her
brothers.

She planned to give birth to her child there.
With the considerable distance, Timothy wouldn’t be able to find out about it.
By that time, both Timothy and Maya would be married, making it unlikely that they would come to
investigate Mia.
As Mia and Laura continued their conversation, the hospital room door creaked open, ushering in a
cool breeze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Mia turned around, she unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure entering. It took her a moment to
catch her breath, not anticipating another encounter with Timothy here.
In contrast, Laura seemed delighted. “Tim, what brings you here? Are you planning to take Mia home?”
Mia remained silent, withdrawing her gaze. However, from the corner of her eye, she noticed Timothy
walking by.
The pair of shoes Timothy wore struck a chord of familiarity; they were the custom–made shoes Mia
had selected for him in the past.
While they didn’t bear any prestigious brand, they were comfortable.
Timothy had worn them once in the past, but afterward, he never put them on again. Mia assumed he
disliked them because they lacked a notable brand to showcase.
Consequently, Mia never repeated the gesture.
Yet, much to her surprise, Timothy was wearing them again.
Mia found herself increasingly perplexed by Timothy’s actions.
Timothy stood by Mia, his tone composed. “Grandma, how are you feeling today?”
“I’m fine. Seeing you two lovebirds brightens my day even more. Tim, keep up the good work.
Regardless of how hectic work may be, make sure to take good care of Mia. After all, she’s expecting!”
Upon finishing her words, Laura took both of their hands, gently placing them together.
