Connor remembered he didn’t agree to perform surgery on Laura. He had never agreed to this.

His eyes glinted coldly as he stroked his chin in thought. Then, the only possibility left would be Mayalying- no wonder she was constantly visiting him these days.

In an instant, his parception of her grew worse. How could she lie to him?

As he tapped his finger on the table, he said, “Mia, though you worked as a caregiver at the Barrettresidence, it seems like they weren’t particularly kind to you.

“Liam mentioned that Shelly’s been bothering you. So, tell me, why are you still willing to help themout?”

They were already very displeased with the Barretts for deliberately making things difficult for Mia.

Mia avoided his gaze as she replied, “Didn’t I mention it before? Grandma Laura has always been kindto me.

“She’s helped me a lot since Uncle James‘ predicament. I won’t forget this, so I wanted to return thefavor.”

“I see.” After pondering on the matter, Connor concluded that not everyone from the Barrett family wasdespicable.

In the end, he nodded as he said, “Alright. I’ll help you out.

Although he disliked Timothy and the Barrett family, he still held his principles despite declaring that hewould never perform a surgery on a Barrett.

However, he thought Mia mattered so much more than his principles since she was practically begginghim.

*Thank you, Connor.” Mia finally heaved a sigh of relief after he agreed. She really hoped Laura couldlive a long and healthy life.

Connor flashed a smile at her as he replied, “Don’t mention it. It’s what I’m supposed to do.”

After all, it was undeniable that Laura helped Mia in times of difficulty when they still couldn’t replace her.Thus, he had to return the favor.

As a result, he agreed to perform the surgery.

“I’ll leave you to your work then, Connor.”

“Sure. Let’s visit the hospital Grandma Laura’s staying at tomorrow to go through her medical records.”

“Alright.”

With that, Mia took her leave and took her phone out to text Timothy, but she hesitated.

In the end, she set her phone away and decided to see how things would turn out after Connor went tothe hospital tomorrow.

Once she left, Connor texted in the WhatsApp group chat.

“I decided to perform surgery on Grandma Laura.”

The group chat blew up in an instant.

Dominic wrote, “This wasn’t what you said yesterday!”

Liam texted, “I’m against this! That scumbag from the Barrett family has his eye on Mia. We shouldn’thelp them.”

After Connor recounted his earlier conversation with Mia to them, they went silent.

Finally, Eva gave her opinion. “Since it’s Mia’s demand, I think it’s a yes. From now on, we don’t owethe Barretts anything.”

That was what Connor had in mind as well.

The next day. Connor accompanied Mia to the private hospital.

She brought him to Laura’s doctor immediately so he could get his hands on the information needed assoon as possible.

Meanwhile, she made her way up the stairs to visit Laura. Little did she expect Timothy to be in herward as well.

She was momentarily stunned when she saw him, yet she quickly flashed a smile to Laura.

“Mia, you’re here! Come sit down and have some fruit.”

Mia could clearly sense that Timothy’s gaze was fixated on her as she chatted with Laura. She couldno longer stand it.

She excused herself from the room so she could cut the fruits.
