At this point, Mia sort of understood what happened at the orphanage back then. Maya probably knew Dominic was looking for Mia, but she chose to deceive him and replaced Mia as the daughter of the Lanes.
Dominic regretted it badly. He glared at Maya. "The Lanes will hold you responsible for this. You'll end up in prison."
Infuriated, Sharon chimed in, "I'll also hold you responsible for my son's injury!" Little did she expect Maya to attack someone with a knife, almost hurting Timothy in the process. She was convinced that Maya was a lunatic, and she even felt quite relieved that it was Mia who married Timothy instead of Maya.
As Maya began to scream frantically, a few shrill cackles escaped her lips occasionally. She seemed to have lost her sanity.
Dominic frowned. "Keep an eye on her."
"Enough, let's leave. The event's about to start, so let's go." Mia glanced up at Timothy. "It's better for you to go to the hospital."
After saying that, she left with the Lanes promptly.
Chancing a glance at Timothy, Dominic said, "We'll bring Mia back to Nord City, and I hope you'll refrain from showing up before her, Mr. Barrett."
Timothy remained silent, yet his darkened gaze was fixated on Mia. He couldn't care less about what the Lane family said. She was pregnant with his child, after all.
If the child wasn't his, he couldn't fathom why Mia tried to keep it a secret from him, to the point that she was willing to let him misunderstand her relationship with Connor. It was a fact that the child belonged to him, and even Mia's identity change couldn't alter that.
Timothy felt slightly relieved that he had a child. Otherwise, he had no reason to make her stay.
