Chapter 330
Timothy’s lips formed a subtle curve, unveiling a faint smile. “That’s fantastic!”
Mia gazed up at Timothy standing before her. His attractive and slender features resembled a
captivating painting illuminated by the lamplight.
For an instant, Mia felt utterly captivated.
Just then, Connor emerged from the operating room, a hint of weariness visible in his expression.
Observing Mia embrace Timothy, Connor spoke sternly, “What are you doing? Let go!”
Upon hearing Connor’s voice, Mia suddenly became aware of her actions. The sheer happiness of
the moment had prompted her to hug Timothy without a second thought.
Blushing, she let go and turned to face Connor, her eyes gleaming. “I heard the surgery was a
success!”
Connor had reassured Mia that Laura’s surgery would be successful, and true to his word, he had
kept that promise.
With a smile, Connor affectionately tousled Mia’s hair. “Certainly. I never break my promises to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou.”
Indeed, Connor held his commitment to Mia in high regard. Mia smiled sweetly, genuinely grateful
to Connor this time.
Observing Connor’s affectionate interaction with Mia, Timothy narrowed his eyes. A surge of jealousy
welled up within him.
It felt as if someone had taken away what rightfully belonged to him.
Sensing Timothy’s gaze, Connor, as a man, grasped the implications behind it.
Nonetheless, Timothy’s prospects were now dim. Connor and his brothers were determined to
bring Mia back to Nord City for good. By that time, Timothy would be insignificant.
After all, Nord City boasted an abundance of eligible men!
Turning toward Timothy, Connor commented, “While Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery went well, her time
in the intensive care unit this week is critical.
“If she successfully gets through this period, she should be on the path to recovery.”
Timothy’s throat tightened, momentarily at a loss for words, grappling with a medley of emotions.
It seemed as it Laura’s surgery had been secured at the expense of Mia, and Timothy couldn’t help but
feel a bit aggrieved.
Mia spoke up. “I have faith that Grandma Laura will navigate through this week of observation
successfully.”
Observing Mia, Connor’s gaze softened. “I believe so too. It’s getting late. We should head back
together later.”
Mia nodded. “Alright.”
After uttering those words, Mia couldn’t shake the feeling that the atmosphere around her had grown
colder.
Behind her. Timothy spoke in a solemn tone, “I’ll go check on Grandma’s condition.”
Unable to endure the situation any longer, Timothy turned away and walked off in frustration. He feared
that staying might lead to him losing control and becoming physically confrontational with Connor.
Observing Timothy’s departure, Mia felt a sense of relief, knowing that Laura was ultimately safe,
Turning to Connor, she inquired, “Connor, has the lead surgeon left? I didn’t see him come out.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConnor’s expression immediately tensed. “Uh, well, the lead surgeon was exhausted,
“He has already left through a private pathway. After all, he conducted the operation solo for an
extended period.”
“That’s understandable.”
Connor cautiously inquired, “Why do you want to meet the lead surgeon?”
“I simply want to express my gratitude in person. Despite being Maya’s brother, it is thanks to him that
Grandma Laura successfully underwent her surgery.”
As for any grievances between her and Maya, that was a distinct matter.
Connor breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, I see. I’ll make sure to pass on your thanks to him.”
“Okay.”
Mia didn’t insist on meeting the lead surgeon, recognizing the awkward dynamic with Maya. She felt
comfortable relying on Connor to pass on her gratitude.
Connor glanced at Mia. “Let’s head home. Considering your current state, It’s important not to
overexert yourself or stay up late.”
