"It's alright. The college hospital will do. I have to attend the ceremony," Timothy stressed.
Most importantly, Mia would be going onstage today. He didn't want to miss it.
Something in him was telling him that it wouldn't be easy for him to meet Mia in the future if he left the place right now.
The revelation that she was the true Ms. Lane actually surprised him.
She was getting farther and farther from his reach.
Mia noticed the heavy feelings from his gaze, but she brushed it off by convincing herself that she must be seeing things.
Why would Timothy feel that way for her? She could never imagine it.
She dropped her gaze to the floor. "I think it's better to go to the hospital."
"Tim, she's right. Look, she's concerned about you. You should go to the hospital. What am I going to do if something happens to you?"
Dominic looked at Timothy. "They're right. You should go to the hospital, Mr. Barrett. Thank you for saving Mia."
Sensing something was off, Claude quickly said, "We're indeed grateful to you for saving Mia, but let's call it even considering how you've treated Mia. We'll let bygones be bygones."
Jason got the hint right away. "Yup. We actually wanted to take Mia with us and deal with the matter with your family. After all, you made her suffer for a whole three years! We can never let that slide easily."
The six men's unfriendly gaze on Timothy worried Sharon so much that she stayed silent.
In fact, she was one of the bullies that picked on Mia. If the Lanes wanted to settle the score, things would be complicated.
