Chapter 329
Upon hearing Timothy’s words, Mia’s mouth opened in surprise.
Why was Timothy uttering such nonsense again?
What did it mean when he said he’d support Mia even if the sky fell? Why was he expressing such
sentiments to her?
Mia blinked and said, “Mr. Barrett, if I had been aware of your attitude earlier, I certainly wouldn’t
have endured these three years feeling so constrained!”
“Well, it’s never too late to know now.” Timothy’s gaze was profound, and the implication behind
his words was unmistakable.
As Mia observed his slender and appealing eyes, her heartbeat raced uncontrollably.
Timothy’s facial features resonated perfectly with her aesthetic preferences. Every glance at him
seemed to reinforce his undeniable charm.
Timothy spoke calmly, “There’s no need for an immediate answer. I can give you the time to think
it over.”
Mia swiftly regained her composure, cleared her throat, and responded, “Mr. Barrett, it doesn’t

Upon hearing this, Timothy’s expression noticeably darkened. He clenched his teeth and inquired, ”
Mia, must you speak like this?”
Timothy had made his intentions clear and promised so much, yet it seemed like Mia was still
reluctant.
A myriad of emotions flickered in Mia’s eyes. “If it had been three years ago, hearing those words
would have made me so happy that I couldn’t sleep!”
Timothy appeared surprised. “And what about now?”
“Well, currently, I’m so infuriated that sleep escapes me.”
Timothy was taken aback.
Mia lifted her head. “Mr. Barrett, my feelings for you have faded. I see no reason to prolong our
marriage.
“After Grandma Laura’s surgery, she will undoubtedly make a healthy recovery, and there’s no

Mia’s words struck Timothy’s heart with a calm yet forceful impact, akin to a drummer disrupting the
rhythm of his heartbeat.
Timothy gazed intensely at Mia. Her eyes once filled with admiration for him, no longer held that same
adoration.
Timothy couldn’t help but feel an emptiness in his heart upon hearing Mia declare that she no
longer harbored feelings for him.
In the past, hearing such words would have delighted him. But now, it didn’t bring the joy he had
envisioned. Instead, it felt like something was absent.
Before long, the door to the operating room swung open.
With a grave expression, Genevieve held out a document. “The patient’s heart condition is more
complex than anticipated. Emergency treatment is underway, and we require a family member’s
signature.”
Mia felt a sudden chill throughout her body upon hearing this. She instinctively glanced at Timothy,
whose expression had turned cold, seemingly enveloped in a sense of despair.
Mia swiftly retrieved the document and passed it to Timothy. “Please sign it as soon as possible.

At this juncture, there was no reversing Grandma Laura’s surgery.
Timothy’s expression grew somber. Eventually, he signed the surgery notification form. In an instant, it
seemed as though all the strength had been drained from his body.
Next to Timothy, Mia reassured. “Grandma will be fine. She promised us.”
Timothy fixed his gaze on the operating room door, lost in silent contemplation. He remained standing,
and Mia stood beside him.
Laura’s surgery extended well into the late evening.
As Genevieve opened the operating room door, Mia felt her heart leap into her throat. Anxiously, she
blurted out, “How did it go?”
“The surgery was a success, but we’re transferring the patient to the intensive care unit.
“Currently, family members are advised to refrain from waiting outside. We are restricting visits during
this critical recovery period,” Genevieve explained.
Relief washed over Mia, and she couldn’t help but smile. She eagerly embraced Timothy, as if

Looking up at Timothy, she shared the news. “Did you hear that? Grandma Laura’s surgery went
well! We no longer need to worry!”
