Chapter 124
Timothy’s voice adopted a chilling edge. “Why risk your well–being for work?”
As Mia took a few steps, her vision blurred, and she collapsed.
Instinctively, she braced for a hard impact, but just before hitting the ground, a pair of arms caught her.
She
was pulled into an embrace that felt both familiar and distant.
Struggling to focus, Mia found it difficult to discern the face above her.
Timothy gently held Mia, deeply alarmed by the cold sweat that covered her and the evident paleness
that had
washed over her lips.
His eyes narrowed with concern, and without a second thought, he swiftly carried her out of the mall.
Maya hurried to catch up, calling out urgently, “Tim!”
However, she was a moment too late, and the elevator doors shut, leaving her behind.
A scowl darkened Maya’s face. “Do you think Mia orchestrated this?” she asked.
Shelly caught up, remarking, “It’s quite suspicious. Just moments ago, Mia seemed fine, and now she
suddenly collapsed, conveniently ending up in Timothy’s arms.”

With a determined gaze, Maya watched as the elevator’s indicator halted at the basement level, likely
indicating that Liam was rushing Mia to the hospital.
Maya pushed the elevator button decisively before instructing, “We’re going to the hospital too.”
Aware of Mia’s tactics, Maya remained resolute, refusing to be swayed by Mia’s potential attempt to
play the victim.
Mia found herself being cradled in a car, her head resting against a man’s chest.
She sensed a gentle touch on her forehead, followed by the soothing sensation of a towel wiping away
her perspiration.
Shivering uncontrollably, Mia gravitated toward the warmth of the man holding her.
Timothy looked down as Mia nestled closer. If he hadn’t known she was unwell, he would have thought
she was deliberately acting this way.
Timothy removed his suit jacket and draped it over Mia, making sure she was secure in his embrace.
He leaned forward, instructing the driver, “Head to the nearest major hospital–make it quick.”
The driver sped toward the nearest public hospital.
Timothy once again felt Mia’s forehead, noting the alarming rise in her temperature.
The car pulled up outside the hospital, and Timothy quickly carried Mia toward the emergency room.
As a gust of wind brushed past them, Mia felt a surge of clarity.

Her eyes opened, locking onto Timothy’s chiseled jawline and tightly pursed lips–could it truly be him?
She quickly looked away, the bright hospital lights snapping her back to awareness. “Timothy, let me

“Stay still.”

“I don’t need to go to the hospital! I’m perfectly fine!”
Recognizing the potential dangers that standard treatments could present to her unborn child, Mia
hesitated.
As a pregnant woman, she understood that even routine remedies for ailments such as colds or fevers
might carry risks.

Furthermore, if the doctor were to uncover her pregnancy, it could jeopardize everything for Mia.
Mia was determined to keep her condition a secret from Timothy.
After all, she was merely a month away from finalizing her divorce from him.
“Stay still, Mia,” Timothy cautioned. “I might have to set you down if you don’t.”
Despite his warning, Timothy’s grip remained steadfast as he carefully carried her to a bed in the
emergency room and gently eased her down. “Please stay put and wait for the doctor,” he urged.
“I don’t need medical attention. I’m feeling much better,” Mia protested, attempting to sit up.
Ignoring her resistance, Timothy firmly held her in place, hands on either side of her, his gaze
unwavering.” Have you lost your mind?” he questioned.
“No, I assure you, I’m perfectly alright,” Mia responded.
She wondered how she would conceal her pregnancy once the doctor arrived.
Mia locked eyes with Timothy, her defiance evident. However, in a surprising turn, Timothy closed the
distance, gently touching their foreheads together.
