Chapter 147
In fact, Mia was still in a dilemma. After all, Liam was so close to fighting Timothy back at the auction house.
When Timothy sent her to the hospital because she lost consciousness from being sick, even Connor
suspected that he was the father of her child.
Things would be complicated if Connor found out her friend’s grandma was Laura.
She sighed. This was tough.
“Mia, what’s wrong?” As Connor finished his supper, he noticed the pensive look on her face.
“Is there something you can’t say? Is your friend running short on cash?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
There was no way that Timothy lacked money.
After a brief pause, Mia continued, “Connor, will you help me no matter what happens?”
“Of course, you’re my sister.”
He would offer a helping hand regardless of anything. If it were something he couldn’t help with, he would go
to great lengths to help her.
Connor spotted the hesitation in her eyes. He ruffled her hair.
“It’s alright. Just tell me which hospital your friend’s grandma is at, and I can accompany you over to check on
her.”
“Then, can you help me to ask whether the doctor can make it?”
“Sure. Get some rest now, Mia.”
She got up and went back to her room. Frankly, she was pondering on whether she should tell Connor the
truth. She also wasn’t sure whether Timothy would be please with her doing this.
Maybe he would even blame her for meddling in his affairs or speculate that she was merely trying to please
Laura.
She covered her face with her hands as she gave up on thinking. She would be fine for now.
…
When Mia woke up the next day, her belly suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself
to sense what was off.
Since she was worried about her baby, she called Connor immediately.
“Connor, my belly hurts.”
Feeling anxious, he bombarded her with questions.

“Where are you now? Do you need me to come over?
“I’m on my way to find you. I don’t know whether I’m just overthinking.”
“Mia, you must come to the hospital if you feel something’s wrong. After all, you’re pregnant and must be extra
careful.”
This was what she had in mind as well. Thus, she hailed a cab and headed straight to the hospital.
Connor was already waiting for her at the hospital entrance.
“The doctor’s waiting for you. Let’s go for an ultrasound and check whether there’s an issue.”
Mia was equally worried. After taking the ultrasound, the results showed that there wasn’t anything wrong with her.
The obstetrician said, “The baby’s growth probably affected your uterus, or you might’ve been under quite a lot of stress lately. You have to relax.”
Indeed, Mia had been worrying about Laura’s surgery lately.
