Chapter 385
Connor carefully took the phone, afraid to wake up the sleeping Mia.
He took the phone outside and wondered who the caller might be.
Connor initially wanted to ignore the call. But the persistent ringing hinted at urgency. He finally
answered, “Hello, who’s this?”
On the other end, Timothy recognized the familiar male voice and his expression soured. “Connor?
“Timothy.” Connor didn’t expect Timothy to be the caller. But he couldn’t deny Mia’s accurate
labeling!
Tempers flared between the two men.
Connor chuckled. “You’ve got some nerve calling.”
Seething. Timothy demanded, “Put Mia on the phone!”
That pregnant woman sure could run. He had been searching for her the entire day and was even
scared that she might have fallen over. And now, she had her lover answering the call.
He shouldn’t have been worried!
Connor’s tone turned icy. “Who do you think you are? You think Mia will just hop on the phone

“Let’s wait and see then! Here in Bern City, there’s not a single person that I, Timothy Barrett, can’t find!” declared Timothy,
Connor’s face hardened. “Let me remind you, Mrs. Barrett Senior is still in the ICU, and who knows what might happen. I’m the chief surgeon, and I know her condition best. If you dare touch Mia, well you know the consequences!”
Timothy grew furious. “Are you threatening me?”
“I am! The Lanes are not to be trifled with!” Connor hung up. He didn’t have a shadow of doubt. that the Lanes could protect their own!
