Chapter 287
Timothy, whose pride took a hit, explained with a stiff expression. “I’m worried that Mia’s being
scammed. Grandma will get worried too. I’m not acting this way solely because of Mia.”
Heath was speechless.
Timothy had the inclination to say things he didn’t mean to women sometimes.
He had been acting out of character ever since Mia accepted his divorce proposal without any fuss.
Mia followed Connor out of the private hospital.
Sitting in the passenger seat, she sneaked a peek at him. “Connor, did the meeting go well?”
“Yes. The surgery is scheduled to happen in three days.”
The mention of the schedule recentered her, her expression solemn. “Connor, the surgery has to be
successful. Mrs. Barrett Senior is important to me.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.” Determination flashed in his eyes.
For Mia, who was attached to Laura, he would do his best to cure Laura.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat way, nothing about the Barrett family would hold Mia back.
A grin played on her lips. “Now I’m at peace of mind with your promise.”
“Come live in Nord City with us, Mia. Start a new life here with your baby. Stay far away from the
Barretts.”
“Sure, but now’s not the time.”
Connor asked dubiously, “Is something holding you back?”
She shook her head. “I want to complete my credit hours at college. Once Mrs. Barrett Senior recovers,
I’ll try to persuade Aunt Patricia about it. Maybe after a few months, when my belly’s too big, I’ll come
with you guys.”
Calculations formed in his head. It was only a few months. He could wait that long.
After the duo arrived at the hospital, Mia headed for the prenatal checkup right away.
During the B–ultrasound, the doctor was surprised. “Congratulations! I can hear two heartbeats. You’re
having twins.”

Mia looked at the monitor in disbelief. “Really?”
“Yes.”
Grinning happily, she left the room with the report.
Connor walked up to her. “How was it?”
“The doctor said I’m having twins and told me to get my blood drawn for a checkup.” She couldn’t
stop smiling.
“Connor, I’m having two babies!” Mia couldn’t contain her excitement.
He fetched and read the report, the corner of his lips curling up slightly.
He controlled his expression. “It is good news that you’re having twins, but this also means you’re
being exposed to higher risks. I don’t agree with keeping the babies from the beginning.”
To him, the babies weren’t as important as Mia’s health.
She tugged at Connor’s arm. “Nothing’s going to happen. I’ll be careful.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA sigh escaped from him. “Are you still going to keep it a secret from Dominic and the others?”
“Let’s keep it this way for now. We can talk after I go to Nord City with you guys.” Her puppy eyes
were pleading with him.
Finally, he bit the bullet by giving in. “Fine. Only until then.”
Dominic wasn’t aware of Mia’s pregnancy the whole time. It wouldn’t hurt to wait for a few more
months.
The same outcome would happen even if Dominic found out about it now.
Connor could already envision his future, where he was willing to get beaten up by Dominic for
Mia.
At that moment, a woman rushed over to snatch the report from Mia. “I knew it! You’re pregnant,
Mia Bowen! You’re dead meat this time!”
Mia watched the mad woman in a mask. She couldn’t place her finger on who the unbidden guest
was. “Wilhelmina?” Mia guessed.
“That’s right. It’s me.” The woman removed her mask.
It was Wilhelmina indeed!
This was the first time Mia met Wilhelmina after the demolition.
