Observing the injury on Claude's face, Mia was overcome by a sense of unease.
It seemed evident that Claude and Timothy had engaged in a scuffle. Mia couldn't shake off her concern for Timothy's well-being at that moment.
Noticing Claude's injury, Eva asked, "Claude, how did you get hurt? Did you get into a fight with someone?"
Mia's heart raced with anticipation as she waited for Claude's response. She, too, was curious about what had transpired during the altercation.
Claude seemed a bit uneasy, taking a moment before replying, "Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally bumped into something."
Mia's expression shifted to one of surprise upon hearing Claude's response.
She was surprised he didn't mention Timothy. Was it because he knew Dominic was present?
With Connor now in the medical facility supervising Sage's treatment, only Mia and Claude were aware that Timothy had arrived in Nord City with her.
However, it seemed improbable that this was the reason for Claude's silence about Timothy.
A chilling possibility suddenly crossed her mind. Was Timothy already dead, silenced permanently?
Noticing the look in Mia's eyes, Claude suddenly felt a bit disheartened. It appeared that Timothy was truly at odds with their family!
While they waited outside, Dominic turned his attention to Mia and remarked, "Mia, I heard someone from the Barrett family was responsible for the bone marrow incident." His tone dripped with malice.
Upon hearing this, Mia swiftly clarified the situation to Dominic.
Dominic's expression immediately turned grim. "Indeed, the Barretts can't be trusted."
Claude agreed, nodding in affirmation. "I feel the same way."
Eva spoke up, advising Mia, "Now that you're back, please refrain from going back to Bern City and stay away from the Barretts. They bring nothing but trouble."
Mia obediently nodded and replied, "I understand."
