Timothy looked at the flickering lights in the operating room and replied coldly, “The cause is unknown.”
Mia felt uneasy when she remembered Timothy had said Laura’s health was poor.
She asked impatiently, “When can she undergo surgery? Why the delay?”
Timothy’s expression darkened, and he said, “Are you questioning me? Grandma has been refusing surgery for a long time. Don’t you know the reason for her to do so?”
Mia asked, “Can’t you find a solution?”
He replied mockingly, “What solution are you talking about? Should we get you pregnant?”
Mia lowered her gaze as she looked at her abdomen without saying a word.
She hesitated whether to tell Laura about her pregnancy. She really wished that Laura would agree to the surgery so that nothing bad would happen to her.
Sharon immediately interjected by saying, “Mia, stop dreaming. You’re not qualified to bear the heir of the Barrett family.”
Shelly added, “Exactly, Mia must have been plotting this all along. She must have asked Grandma not to get
surgery so that Timothy would agree to get her pregnant. She’s really cunning.”
Mia sneered at Shelly’s words. She stared at the flashing lights in the operating room and remained silent.
Timothy said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Cat got your tongue?”
Mia smiled sadly and said, “What do you want me to say? I’ll say what you want me to say.”
Timothy pulled at his tie in frustration and said, “Why are you acting like this?”
“How do you want me to act? If I agree to get pregnant, then everyone would say that I plotted against you. If I don’t agree, then you’ll say I’m deliberately using Grandma Laura’s health as a bargaining chip. Whatever I
say, you won’t be satisfied!”
Mia was irritated at their reaction, and her tone was particularly unpleasant. •
