Chapter 178

Listening to Shelly’s complaints on the other end of the phone, Mia calmly replied, “It’s not as if Icanceled your credit card. You should contact the person who did it.”

With that, she hung up the phone. Nonetheless, Shelly persisted with her calls, prompting Mia to switchher phone to silent mode.

Despite the recent surge of rumors, they quickly dissipated. Mia hadn’t anticipated such an effortlessresolution.

She breathed a sigh of relief and tenderly caressed her belly, sensing the presence of her unborn childwithin.

Following Laura’s surgery at the end of the month, Mia could finally sever all ties with Timothy.

It dawned on her that she should schedule a prenatal checkup.

Taking out her phone, she made an appointment at the hospital and began packing up to leave workearly for the examination.

“Mia, are you leaving early for college?”

Upon hearing Felix’s voice, Mia turned around.

“Indeed, there’s something I need to attend to, and there isn’t much work on my plate right now. So, Ithought of leaving early.

“If there’s anything urgent, I can stay back and handle it,” she replied with a hint of awkwardness.

“No worries. I’m just concerned about you. With the recent rumor incident, people are bound to discussit. especially at your college,” Felix expressed.

“Thanks for your concern, Felix, but I’m not heading to college,” Mia clarified.

Felix couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mia, you don’t have to be so cautious around me. I’m not an enemy.After all we’re friends, right?”

Mia eased up a bit, although her guard remained. Her past relationship with Timothy had made hersomewhat wary of men, causing her to instinctively maintain a distance.

Fortunately, Felix didn’t press further. Entering the elevator, Mia headed straight to the hospital.

She went for her prenatal checkup without notifying Connor in advance.

Considering Connor’s hectic work schedule, Mia decided not to disturb his time to accompany her,opting to go to the checkup alone.

After the doctor’s examination, Mia received comforting news.“The baby is healthy, there are noissues.”

She carefully tucked the B–scan report into her bag, creating a habit of preserving such importantdocuments.

After all, those B–scan pictures were precious snapshots of her child, even if the details were a bitblurry and

Checking the time and realizing it was still early, Mia decided to head upstairs to replace Connor.

Exiting the elevator, she looked up and saw Connor standing in the corridor, accompanied by a woman.

To her surprise, it was Maya.

Mia froze, her gaze locking onto the unexpected scene of Connor and Maya together. A flicker ofbewilderment crossed her eyes as she processed the sight.

Why were they standing together? Did they know each other?

Mia discreetly positioned herself around the corner, avoiding Maya’s line of sight.

Every encounter with Maya seemed to bring trouble, and Mia was determined to keep her connectionwith Connor under wraps to spare him from any unnecessary complications.

As Mia quietly observed, it seemed that Maya was animatedly expressing something, perhaps engagedin ant argument.

Was there some unresolved history between Connor and Maya?

Meanwhile, Connor appeared somewhat impatient as he addressed Maya, “I’ve told you before that I’mbusy with work. I don’t have time to attend your engagement.”

“But Dominic assured me that you would replace time. I wouldn’t want my engagement to go by without asingle family member present. It would deeply hurt me.”

“If you’re adamant about having your family present, why did you turn down Dominic’s offer to help youlocate your biological family?” Connor questioned.

Upon hearing this, Maya’s complexion grew pale.
