Chapter 314
“Mia, despite that, there’s no need for you to resign.
“The working environment here is quite laid–back, and you shouldn’t perceive it as unfair to your colleagues, considering the differences in your circumstances.”
Mia looked up in surprise as Felix added, “Mia, given our shared experiences, I believe you can sense my feelings for you. Do you share similar sentiments?”
“I’m sorry, Felix, but I’ve always seen you as a friend only,” Mia straightforwardly turned down Felix.
A glimmer of disappointment flickered in Felix’s eyes, tinged with a subtle hint of reluctance.
After a brief pause, he finally voiced his thoughts, “Mia, what if we find a middle ground? You could transition to working on weekends instead.
“Your incredible talent has brought numerous orders to our studio, and a sudden resignation would undeniably have a negative impact.
“Please, consider it for the sake of our friendship. Can you perhaps commit to coming in on weekends?” Felix negotiated.
Mia’s gaze softened as she noticed the scar on Felix’s head. “Alright.”
Upon hearing this, Felix let out a sigh of relief. “Mia, regarding my mom’s mistake yesterday,
please don’t harbor any ill feelings toward her.”
Mia reassured him, “Don’t worry. It’s not an issue.”
With those words, she returned to her seat, appearing somewhat distracted. The looming
prospect of Laura’s surgery tomorrow left her feeling a bit nervous.
In the evening, Mia patiently waited for Connor to finish work before broaching the topic of Laura’s
situation.
Maintaining a calm demeanor, Connor reassured her, “Lately, Mrs. Barrett Senior’s health has
remained stable.
“Assuming the surgery goes according to plan, there shouldn’t be any complications. You can put
your mind at ease.”
A sigh of relief escaped Mia. That was reassuring news.

The next morning, Mia prepared early for her visit to the hospital.
Taken aback by her early rising, Patricia inquired, “Why are you up so early? Don’t your Monday lectures typically commence in the afternoon?”
Mia hesitated before responding, “Aunt Patricia, Grandma Laura is undergoing surgery today. I need to go and check on her.”
“You should go. I hope everything goes smoothly for Mrs. Barrett Senior. She’s a wonderful person. I’m confident she’ll be fine.”
Mia endured a restless night, clinging to the hope that Laura’s surgery would unfold without complications.
In the taxi on the way to the hospital, Mia’s stomach began to rumble. It felt as if her twins were staging another protest.
With no alternative, Mia stopped by a nearby shop to grab some breakfast.
