Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

Connor’s attention shifted from Timothy to Mia lying on the bed, a flicker of suspicion igniting within him. 

Could the child be Timothy’s? 

Timothy’s recurring involvement with the Lane family women only deepened Connor’s speculations. 

Avoiding Connor’s penetrating gaze, Mia pleaded softly, “Please prescribe a fever–reducing medication for me. However, given my condition, there are specific drugs I can’t take. Please be mindful.” 

Her hushed plea served as a subtle reminder to Connor about her pregnancy, stressing the need for discretion in Timothy’s presence. 

Pushing aside his swirling thoughts, Connor turned to Genevieve, “Prepare the prescription and the necessary medication.” 

“Shouldn’t she have an IV drip?” Timothy interjected, shooting a perplexed glance. 

Annoyed, Connor replied, “IV drips can sometimes do more harm than good.” 

“But her fever is alarmingly high,” Timothy countered. 

Meeting Timothy’s challenge with a steely gaze, Connor retorted, “Are you the attending doctor here, or am I? If you think you can handle it better, be my guest.” 

Mia’s eyes darted nervously between the two men, silently hoping they wouldn’t escalate the situation. 

Timothy’s demeanor quickly darkened, yet he held his silence, his displeasure evident in his expression. 

Moments later, Genevieve arrived with the prescribed medication in hand. 

Looking at Connor, she informed, “Dr. Lane, they’re calling for you at Bed 35.” 

Connor quickly regained his composure and turned to Mia, instructing, “Please take your medication now; I’ll be back later.” 

Complying with a nod, Mia replied, “Okay.” 

Sitting by the bedside, Mia watched Connor exit the room, a sense of relief washing over her. 

Running into Connor unexpectedly might be a stroke of luck she didn’t realize she needed. With him around, she stood a better chance of keeping her pregnancy concealed. 

Had she chosen to visit the private hospital affiliated with the Barrett family today, her secret would have been unveiled. 

Could this unexpected encounter be a blessing in disguise? 

Reaching for the medicine beside her, Mia realized the water dispenser was across the room. 

As she mustered the energy to get up, Timothy stepped forward, taking the paper cup from her hand and heading to the dispenser.

Observing Timothy’s silhouette and reflecting on how he had escorted her to the hospital, Mia recognized that despite his shortcomings, a trace of humanity still existed within him. 

When Timothy returned, Mia averted her gaze, accepting the cup of water he offered. “Thank you.” 

After swallowing her medicine and reclining once more, Mia noticed Timothy still standing beside her. 

Meeting his gaze, she said, “Thank you for bringing me here. I’ll manage on my own when it’s time to leave.” 

Timothy’s lips tightened, his voice laced with sarcasm. “Do you think I have the luxury of waiting around for you?” 

With those words lingering, Timothy walked out of the emergency room. 

However, instead of departing immediately, he paused in the corridor, visibly tense as he loosened his tie. 

“Mr. Barrett, should we depart?” Heath inquired cautiously. 

“Why wouldn’t we? Do you assume I have endless time to spare?” 

Timothy pressed on, giving Heath a pointed look. “Find a caregiver for her. I’d struggle to explain to my grandmother if anything unfortunate happened to her while she’s in the hospital.”
