Mia sighed and surveyed their surroundings. “Connor, come with me. Let’s chat over there.”
do we need to go there? Can’t we just talk here?”
Connor’s face bore an expression of reluctance.
Mia gently tugged at his white coat. “Connor, please. Come with me. It’s not appropriate to discuss this here. We might disturb Grandma Laura.”
Eventually, Connor compromised.
Mia guided Connor to the far end of the corridor. Bowing her head, she spoke nervously, “Connor, let me explain.”
“Yeah, I’m listening. Speak up. What’s your relationship with Timothy, and whose child is in your belly?”
Mia took a deep breath and admitted, “Connor, by now, you’ve probably already guessed. The child in my belly belongs to Timothy.”

“Even if Timothy manages to survive, we’ll ensure he faces imprisonment.”
Mia’s eyelids twitched as she absorbed his words, and she swiftly replied, “Connor, I doubt the
