Timothy looked at the flickering lights in the operating room and replied coldly, “The cause is unknown.”
Mia felt uneasy when she remembered Timothy had said Laura’s health was poor.
She asked impatiently, “When can she undergo surgery? Why the delay?”
Timothy’s expression darkened, and he said, “Are you questioning me? Grandma has been refusing
surgery for a long time. Don’t you know the reason for her to do so?”
Mia asked, “Can’t you find a solution?”
He replied mockingly, “What solution are you talking about? Should we get you pregnant?”
Mia lowered her gaze as she looked at her abdomen without saying a word.
She hesitated whether to tell Laura about her pregnancy. She really wished that Laura would agree to
the surgery so that nothing bad would happen to her.
Sharon immediately interjected by saying, “Mia, stop dreaming. You’re not qualified to bear the heir of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Barrett family.”
Shelly added, “Exactly, Mia must have been plotting this all along. She must have asked Grandma not
to get
surgery so that Timothy would agree to get her pregnant. She’s really cunning.”
Mia sneered at Shelly’s words. She stared at the flashing lights in the operating room and remained
silent.
Timothy said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Cat got your tongue?”
Mia smiled sadly and said, “What do you want me to say? I’ll say what you want me to say.”
Timothy pulled at his tie in frustration and said, “Why are you acting like this?”
“How do you want me to act? If I agree to get pregnant, then everyone would say that I plotted against
you. If I don’t agree, then you’ll say I’m deliberately using Grandma Laura’s health as a bargaining chip.
Whatever I
say, you won’t be satisfied!”
Mia was irritated at their reaction, and her tone was particularly unpleasant. •
Timothy pursed his lips, and his expression darkened.
Shelly dared not continue speaking when she saw Timothy’s reaction.
At that moment, the light in the operating room turned green. The doctor who was treating Laura came
out of the room, and Mia was the first to ask, “How is she?”
“Her condition is not great. We need to schedule her surgery as soon as possible.”
Mia watched as Laura was wheeled out. Laura looked very weak as she needed the help of a ventilator
to breathe. Mia instantly teared up, feeling overwhelmed at the sight.
Three years ago, when she had nothing at all, it was Laura who had shown her care and kindness.

The elderly woman was moved to a private ward, and the members of the Barrett family followed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbehind her.
Timothy said coldly, “The rest of you can leave. Don’t crowd the room.”
Sharon then asked their relatives to leave, and they went home one by one.
Mia followed Laura into her ward. Soon after, Laura woke up and held her hand tightly.
With teary eyes, Mia said, “Grandma Laura, let’s have the surgery, okay?”
The old lady shook her head, still resisting surgery.
Mia didn’t know what to do. Should she tell Laura the truth or not?
Timothy’s hand rested on Mia’s shoulder while he looked at Laura and said, “Grandma, please rest
well. We’ll visit you later.”
The old lady blinked a few times, then fell back into a drowsy state.
Mia left the ward as Laura lay in the hospital bed in a weak state. Her heart ached for Laura.
Then, Mia wiped away her tears and left the hospital while caressing her abdomen. She needed to
think carefully about this matter.
Timothy watched her leave the hospital coldly.
Sharon said to Timothy, “Son, listen to me. You should divorce this woman immediately and not tell
your grandmother. Once your grandmother undergoes surgery, it’ll be too late for her to do anything,
even if she learns the truth.”
