Mia’s heart was a mess as she fell Laura’s sincere gaze.

She said to Laura, “The baby is fine, don’t worry.”

Laura glanced at Timothy. Mia understood what she wanted to convey and continued, “Timothy hasbeen good to me. He’s always looking out for me. I haven’t been to the studio lately. After all, I’mpregnant and attending classes, so I’m exhausted.”

Timothy shot Mia a complicated look but remained silent.

Laura nodded at Mia’s assurance.

Mia continued softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself and the baby. If you’re still concerned,then hurry up and get better so you can personally oversee me.”

Relief briefly softened Laura’s gaze, though her expression turned sour as she teared. Mia took atissue and wiped away the tears for her. “Rest well, we’ll come visit you often.”

Laura blinked in agreement. Finally, she glanced at Timothy again, wanting to hear something fromhim.

Mia understood Laura’s expression but didn’t look up at Timothy. She didn’t know what he would

say.

After a while, Timothy hummed softly. “Rest assured, I’ll take care of her.”

Upon hearing Timothy’s promise, Laura finally closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Mia put theblankets over her before leaving the ward with Timothy.

She took a deep breath. “I’ll be leaving now.”

“Mia Bowen.”

Mia paused, not turning back. “Is there anything else?”

Timothy watched her closely. “You can always replace me if you need any help.”

Mia didn’t quite understand what he meant. After all, he was currently her biggest threat.

She pursed her lips. “Thanks but no thanks. I’ll have Felix drop the charges and won’t cause you anymore trouble.”

With that, Mia hurried away without sparing Timothy another glance.

She rushed into the lift and touched her belly. After the conversation with Laura and Timothy’ssuggestion to call off the divorce and keep the child, Mia guessed that Timothy would spare the

child.

She knew that all of this was thanks to Laura. If Laura hadn’t woken up at this critical moment, shedidn’t know what would have happened between her and Timothy. This was perhaps a stroke

of luck.

Mia arrived downstairs and saw Connor waiting for her. “Connor, let’s go.”

Connor had been on edge this whole time. But upon seeing Mia emerge unscathed, he finally

breathed a sigh of relief. “Did Timothy give you any trouble?”

“No, he wouldn’t dare since Grandma Laura was there.” Mia forced a smile. “Let’s go.”

Connor didn’t say anything else and brought Mia out of the hospital. In the car, he finally sighed. ‘ Mia,the family knows about your injury, but they don’t know about your pregnancy, only about Felix pushingyou. Jason is already on his way to Bern City.”

Thinking about Felix, Mia hummed. “Connor, I don’t plan to pursue this matter. The one who harmedme was Timothy. But I made a deal with him, and he won’t harm me or the baby.”
