Chapter 269
Haunted by her canceled engagement, Maya found sleep elusive, her thoughts consumed by
anger.
Everything had been proceeding smoothly until that fateful day, marked by unforeseen events that
ultimately led to the cancellation of her engagement.
Raising an eyebrow, Connor questioned, “Because of me?”
*According to Timothy, your decision to perform surgery for Grandma Laura wasn’t influenced by
me!” Maya exclaimed.
Clearing his throat, Connor nodded and replied, “You’re correct. It’s indeed not because of you.”
Upon hearing this response, Maya stared at him incredulously. “Connor, what are you saying?
“If it’s not because of me, are you implying that you’re doing this surgery because of Timothy?
Haven’t you always disliked Timothy?”
“Yes.”
“If not because of me, then because of whom?”
Maya had been investigating diligently, yet she hadn’t unraveled anything, heightening the
mystery of the situation.
Remaining composed, Connor stated, “Maya, there are certain matters not worth delving too
deeply into.
“But let me remind you, falsehoods can only hold up for a while, not a lifetime. Ultimately, the dissolution of your engagement is a direct consequence of your deceit!

“Connor, I admit I lied, but you still haven’t explained why you agreed to perform surgery for
Grandma Laura. Who are you doing it for? Maya inquired.
“Maya, this is not something you need to concern yourself with. You should just go.” Connor replied. …
Maya’s eyes welled up slightly. “Connor, are you and Dominic keeping something from me?
Dominic is even pushing me to sign an adoption termination agreement.
“We’ve been a family for so many years, why does he suddenly want to push me away?”
Connor fell silent for a moment.

Originally, he had intended to disclose this information to Maya after the engagement, but with the unexpected turn of events, it seemed that the revelation had to be postponed for now.
Glancing at Maya before him, Connor uttered, “I prefer not to comment.”
With that statement. Connor exited the office.
Maya stood alone, lost in thought. An unsettling intuition nagged at her, but despite her earnest efforts to investigate, she couldn’t discern the root of the issue..
Just then, Genevieve approached, offering an ice pack. “Applying this might help.”
“Thank you,” Maya expressed, accepting the ice pack and placing it on her face. She wiped away her tears in a disarrayed manner.
Genevieve commented, “You’re Dr. Lane’s sister, aren’t you?”
Maya assumed an air of vulnerability as she responded, “Yes, Connor and I had an argument. Lately, it feels like he’s become a different person.”
“Ms. Lane, I believe it might be related to Dr. Lane being in a relationship,” Genevieve suggested in a quiet tone.
“Connor is seeing someone? Why wasn’t I informed?” Maya exclaimed.
Speaking in a subdued voice, Genevieve shared, “A woman is staying in the ward downstairs. She frequently visits Dr. Lane for treatments and check–ups.
“Yesterday, she was even brought back by helicopter, and there’s a rumor circulating that she was kidnapped.”
