Chapter 316
Mia gently knocked on the door before stepping into the ward, a warm smile on her face.” Grandma,
I’ve come to see you.”
“Mia, you’re here bright and early. Have you had breakfast?”
“I’ve already eaten. Grandma, how are you feeling today?”
Mia noticed that Laura seemed to be in high spirits, indicating that her health was in good
condition.
Laura smiled, gently holding Mia’s hand.
“I’m doing well. You don’t need to worry so much. I’m still eagerly looking forward to your baby’s arrival.
In my younger years, I confronted numerous challenges. Can a minor issue like this really defeat me?”
With Laura discussing her babies, Mia couldn’t help but feel guilty. Despite everyone thinking it was a
fabrication, only she knew that she was genuinely pregnant.

belly. “Grandma, the baby is patiently waiting for you to recover.”
Laura glanced at Mia’s belly, her eyes slightly welling up. “That’s fantastic. When the baby arrives, I’ll
have the chance to teach them, just as I did with Tim when he was little.”
“Okay, we’ll be eagerly looking forward to it,” Mia said, subtly conveying to the twins in her belly to
anticipate Laura’s safe return from the operating room.
At that moment, Laura shifted her gaze toward the door and called out, “Tim, hurry over. I have
something to share with all of you.”
Mia turned to see Timothy entering through the doorway. Today, he appeared more casually dressed,
forsaking his usual dark suit. He seemed a bit less aloof and more like a refined young
gentleman.
Timothy approached the bedside. “Grandma, how about we discuss it after your surgery? There will be
plenty of time in the future.”
Mia added, “Absolutely, Grandma. There’s no rush. Just relax and take it easy. We’ll be right outside,
keeping you company.”
At that instant, Sharon and Shelly stepped into the ward.

Sharon’s expression darkened upon seeing Mia, but being mindful of Laura’s surgery, she
restrained her emotions.
As long as Laura’s operation went smoothly, she wouldn’t have to concern herself with Mia any
longer.
It seemed like Timothy’s current wariness of Mla was driven by his concern for Laura, who was
scheduled for surgery.

Waving her hand, Laura said, “There are certain matters I would like to address now. Otherwise, I
fear I won’t have the opportunity.
“Tim, in the future, when Mia’s child is born, they will be the heir of the Barrett family.”
Mia’s expression grew uneasy upon hearing this. Why would Laura make such an arrangement?
Mia wasn’t the only one feeling upset. Sharon seemed equally dissatisfied. “Mrs. Barrett Senior,
deciding on the heir so early seems a bit impulsive, doesn’t it?
“Given the extensive nature of our family’s business, if the selected heir lacks the required skills and
competence, what alternatives do we have?”
Sharon had more to address. If Maya were to marry Timothy in the future and have a child, would that
child be ineligible as heir to the Barrett family?
In such a circumstance, the Lane family might not consent to their marriage.
Besides, Mia’s pregnancy was fabricated, and Laura seemed to be taking it too seriously.
“I trust that Tim’s child won’t be incompetent, and with Tim overseeing their upbringing into adulthood,
how could they possibly turn out to be a failure?”
After expressing her confidence, Laura handed a document to Timothy, “Here is the contract I’ve
drafted, outlining all the details related to you and Mia’s child as the future heir of our family. Please go
ahead and sign it.”
