Filed to story: Mia Bowen and Timothy Barrett Novel
As long as he had the money in the future, he would have his own kids someday.
Meanwhile, Mia didn’t expect that answer from him. It was somewhat touching, but it sounded like a lie to her.
For the past few days, Claude had been giving her relationship lessons, imparting ways to distinguish between a man’s lies and truthful words.
It wasn’t normal for someone to be unfazed by such harsh realities. In fact, Felix accepted it way too fast.
Obviously, he had ulterior motives.
Mia couldn’t understand him. “Felix, what exactly about me do you like? I might as well change it.”
Why would he like an orphan like her?
“I’ve shown you my sincerity. I don’t think any man in this world will be able to do this far. I can jump off the building for you too.”
Labeling him as unhinged, she blurted, “Felix, I don’t like you. Even if you’re dead, I will never like you. That’s it.”
If this conversation continued any further, Mia feared her blood pressure might rise through the roof.
“Mia Bowen, are you going to leave like this? What about the voice recording?”
She looked over her shoulder at Felix. “Why don’t you let me hear it first?”
Silence hung in the air for a moment and she knew instantly that it was a lie¨Che didn’t possess. any sort of voice recording.
The visit was unnecessary after all.
Annoyed, she began wondering why Claude hadn’t been responding to her messages. The issue could only be resolved after she spoke to him.
However, Claude appeared to be unreliable at the moment.
Mia, who was going to leave the hospital, exited the elevator while dwelling on the repulsive emotions which surfaced after her discussion with Felix and Janice.
Right then, Timothy phoned Mia.
She picked up the call immediately. “Anything?”
“About the picture, it’s not what you think.”
Everything was unfolding in a way which exceeded her expectations today. Timothy was actually explaining his relationship with another woman to her? Unbelievable.
“Enough. I’m tired of your nonsense. I’m hanging up,” she said coldly.
In a sudden burst, Janice’s piercing voice echoed from behind. “Mia Bowen, how could you be this cruel? Felix had jumped off the building for you! You ungrateful bitch!”
Mia spun around in response only to be pushed by Janice, crashing to the ground.
She instinctively shielded her belly and color drained from her face as she shrieked in pain.
Timothy, still on the phone, asked anxiously, “Mia, what happened? Where are you?”
She tried to grab the phone, but it was out of her reach. Clenching her teeth, she groaned,” Timothy, I…”
Before she could say anything, darkness enveloped her, and she fainted.
On the other end, Timothy had just landed from a flight. His expression turned icy as he turned to Heath. “Which hospital is Felix at?”
“Hope Hospital.”
“Get a helicopter ready Immediately! I’m heading there,” Timothy ordered sharply, his expression tense.
He dialed Mia’s number again, but no one answered.
Dread shrouded him like a cloak. It was that same emotion again.
The last time he felt this way was when he caught wind of Mia’s abduction. Although she had Connor, Timothy pulled every string he had to look for her.
Now, her desperate cry for him stifled his chest. He almost couldn’t breathe.
Recentering himself, he spoke to Heath, “Mia might’ve been hurt in the hospital. Contact the director right now. Tell him to make sure she’s safe.”
The bombshell of Mia getting hurt in the hospital surprised Heath so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
A helicopter was swiftly prepared. Timothy wasted no time to fly to Hope Hospital.
In the meantime, he received a call from the director of the hospital. “Mr. Barrett, your wife has been taken to the emergency room.”
Timothy’s expression darkened. “Make sure she comes out of the room safely. I’ll arrange for the medical equipment you need to be sent later.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. We’ll make sure she’s safe, but she’s not doing well at the moment,” Sky
Manson reported.
Timothy’s jaw clenched. “Did she hurt her head?¡®
“No. She’s pregnant.”
Timothy’s mind raced as he processed the news.
“Mia’s pregnant? Who’s the father then?” Questions flooded his mind.
Before he could dwell on it further, Sky’s voice resounded through the phone. “Mr. Barrett, if something bad happens, who will you choose? The mother or the baby?”
Faced with the unexpected dilemma, Timothy took a deep breath.
All he knew right now was that he was the joke of the universe¨Che was cheated on.
If Mia was pregnant, what would that make him?
Coldly, he retorted, “Must I state the obvious?”
“The baby?” the director asked for confirmation as heirs were normally important to rich people.
A shadow crossed Timothy’s face. “Save the mother. The baby isn’t important.”
He would never care about a kid that wasn’t his.
Reining in his urge to demand the hospital to treat Mia was the greatest benevolence he could possibly offer.
If someone told him to care about the baby, he didn’t know what he might be capable of doing.
Meanwhile, Heath learned a significant piece of information from that conversation¨CMia was pregnant!
Heath thought that Timothy should be celebrating over the news.
However, judging from the latter’s dark expression, it seemed like the baby wasn’t his.
Although Heath had faith in Mia’s character, he didn’t have the guts to speak up.
After the call, Timothy was all grumpy. Heath kept his lips sealed.
Would he get killed for knowing this secret?
Being a secretary nowadays requires nerves of steel.
20 minutes later, the helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital.
Timothy alighted and the director welcomed him. Timothy was a big sponsor of the hospital, making him an important guest to the director.
Despite his grumpy face. Timothy couldn’t hide his concern. “How’s she doing?”
“Congratulations. Mr. Barrett. Both the mother and the baby are fine.”
Timothy paused momentarily, for he actually had hoped the baby would be gone because of this accident.
Wordlessly, he darted to the VIP patient room.
Mia laid in bed, her expression serene.
No matter how livid he was, all he could do was suppress his emotions for now.
He looked over his shoulder at the director. “What happened to her? I heard something on the phone. Someone must’ve pushed her.”
Mia wouldn’t have screamed so suddenly over the phone for nothing. Something must’ve happened.
He heard a middle¨Caged woman scolding. She must have something to do with the accident.
Sky answered, “We checked the surveillance footage. Someone did push Mrs. Barrett. But while we were busy tending to Mrs. Barrett, that woman and her son had left the hospital. They ran away.”
Timothy loosened his tie, unable to understand why Mia came to the hospital to take care of that calculating man. She was hurt in the end.
A possibility crossed his mind¨Cwas Felix the father of the baby?
Sky continued, “Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. We’ll get to the bottom of this. They haven’t paid off their medical bills.”
