Noticing Timothy reaching out his hand too, Mia was baffled. She didn't expect him to do the same.
Why did he do that? Was he trying to make her choose between him and Nicholas?
How naive of him. Just what gave him the right to ask that she stay by his side?
She was different from how she was four years ago.
Mia merely spared Timothy's hand a glance before walking toward Nicholas. "Nick, you're done with your work already? That's quick."
He nodded. "I just went over to hand over a document. It's nothing big."
In actuality, he came to the hospital on purpose. He was worried after learning from Connor that Mia was beaten up and hospitalized due to a concussion, so he made an excuse to come over.
To his surprise, he found out that Timothy was at the hospital with Mia.
As a man himself, Nicholas could tell that Timothy had feelings for her.
Otherwise, Timothy wouldn't have become a mere bodyguard for Mia. He would have returned to his position as the president of Barrett Group.
A while ago, Nicholas called Connor to ask why Timothy showed up in Mia's life. His hunch was telling him that Timothy was trying to steal her away this time around.
Hearing that, Mia nodded. "Let's head home. Eva just texted me, asking me where I am."
"Let's go."
She headed outside the hospital without turning back, ignoring Timothy, who was completely left behind.
Nicholas, on the other hand, turned his head to cast a look at Timothy. Nicholas's gaze carried a message of warning to him.
He was warning Timothy not to come close to Mia.
