mysterious depth.
Locked in a silent exchange, Mia placed the document into his hands, saying, “For Grandma’s sake,
please sign it. If you don’t, she won’t consent to the surgery.”
Laura let out a disdainful snort. “Exactly. If you refuse to sign it, I won’t proceed with the surgery. Even
if you manage to get me into the operating room, I’ll find a way out.”
Mia stood alone, aware of Sharon’s piercing gaze. If looks could kill, she would have been dead by
now.

Satisfied, Laura took the document and placed it in front of Mia, declaring, “Now you sign it too.”
“Grandma, you only requested Timothy’s signature a moment ago. I never agreed to sign it,” Mia

Laura’s eyes welled up with tears as she asked, “Why are you being so foolish?“”
“Well, they say foolish folks have their share of luck. The baby and I will eagerly await your return from
the operating room.”
Mia recognized that everything Laura did was with her best interests in mind, and it seemed like Laura

Adhering to the customary protocol, Connor initiated the routine examination for Laura, and the process
proceeded seamlessly:
He instructed, “Escort Mrs. Barrett Senior to the operating room for the surgical procedure.”
Mia turned her gaze toward Laura and offered reassurance, “Grandma, remember that all of us are
eagerly anticipating your return.”
Laura sighed softly, choosing not to broach the subject of the document again.
She lay obediently on the hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses, and was gently
wheeled out.
Connor shot a cold glance at the Barretts. If it weren’t for Mia, he wouldn’t have agreed to perform
this surgery.
Sharon smiled and addressed Connor, “Dr. Lane, we’re counting on you for Mrs. Barrett Senior’s
surgery later. After all, we’re practically becoming one big family. There’s no need for formalities.”
Connor replied curtly, “I’m sorry, but I don’t consider myself a part of the Barrett family.”
