Although Connor detested Timothy, he was still going to keep things professional. After all, he was onlyhere for Mia’s sake. He wouldn’t let her down.

Timothy finally said, “When will you start on the surgical plan?”

The plan was criti, Cardiac surgeries were usually extremely complicated, and unexpectedcircumstances were bound to happen. Thus, a detailed surgical plan was needed.

Connor replied, “I’ll be here again in two days. By then, I’ll come up with a plan. I need some time forthis, and it shouldn’t be rushed.”

Maya nodded as she chimed in, “He’s right. The surgery should be carried out by the end of this month.We still have plenty of time.”

Connor glanced at his watch. “I have to go.”

He had to excuse himself to avoid bumping into Mia. He would be in trouble if that happened. How washe going to explain the situation?

“Connor, since you’re here, why don’t we grab a meal together? Despite the misunderstandings we hadin the past, we’re about to become a family soon. We need to sort things out.”

With a stoic expression, Connor rejected her invitation. “There’s no need for that. I’m busy.”

In haste, he left the room right away.

Maya went after him, yet she eventually came to a stop as she watched him go. She turned back andglanced at Timothy.

“You see, Tim, I was right. He may have a sharp tongue, but he’s nothing like that. Although herefused, he actually came in secret to check on Grandma Laura’s condition.

“That explains a lot. By the end of this month, he’d be able to perform surgery on her.”

Timothy felt conflicted as he glanced over at the notes Connor left on the desk.

Completely immersed in excitement, Laura’s attending doctor exclaimed, “Mr. Barrett, he’s indeed thebest cardiac surgeon in Nord City. He mentioned a few plans that we missed out on.

“However, we can’t carry out the plans. He’s the only one who’s capable of it.”

“That’s for sure.” Maya interrupted with delight. “Connor’s amazing. If he were to operate on GrandmaLaura, she’d recover in no time!”

Timothy looked at the doctor as he said, “Then, do as he says.”

It was the best they could do since they had the most elite doctor to operate on Laura.

They stepped out of the office together.

+15 BONOS

Maya was thrilled. She sneaked a glance at Timothy, realizing he didn’t refuse to have Connoroperating on Laura. Did that mean he had accepted her?

A wave of exhilaration washed through her as they waited for the elevator to head upstairs.

Just as the elevator opened, Mia emerged from it. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Mayaand

Timothy.

After all, she didn’t come across them when she deliberately took her time to prepare the fruits. Shethought

they would be in the ward, but it turned out that they weren’t.

Nonetheless, she was unfazed. After she got the fruits ready for Laura, she intended to headdownstairs for

Connor. She wanted to ask how everything was for him.

Although she had mentioned Laura’s condition to him, it would be different after he went through themedical

records.

Little did she expect to bump into Timothy and Maya.

The silence in the air was tangible as they stared at each other.

Maya’s eyes flickered with glee as she asked purposefully, “Ms. Bowen, what are you doing here?”
