Chapter 386
After Heath finished speaking, he observed Timothy cautiously.
Timothy couldn’t help but light a cigarette. He took only one drag before letting It burn out. As the
smoke escaped his lips, it hid his expression.
He recalled how Connor defended Mia earlier. Did they still need to do a DNA test after that?
In the end, Timothy stayed silent, enveloped in the oppressive haze of cigarette smoke that
seemed thicker than usual that day.
Mia had a nightmare. She dreamed that despite escaping the hospital, she was eventually found
by Timothy’s men.
They brought her back to the hospital and into the operating room. No matter how much she pleaded or
explained that the bables were his, Timothy never relented.
Finally, she lay numb on the operating table, faced with the horror of losing her children.
“No!” she cried out.

woke up
from the nightmare, her face wet with tears. When she saw the unfamiliar apartment room, she
breathed a sigh of relief.
She touched her belly, realizing it was just a bad dream. She hadn’t been found by Timothy.
Shortly after, someone cautiously knocked on the door. “Mia?”
“Claude?” Mia recognized Claude’s voice outside the door.
The next moment, she saw Claude push the door open and walk in, looking extremely guilty. “Did
you have a nightmare. Mia?”
Claude had lingered outside the bedroom door, torn between entering and leaving.
Only after hearing Mia’s frightened voice did Claude snap out of it, realizing how much harm his
unreliability had caused his sister this time.
Thinking back on her nightmare, Mia didn’t want to dwell on it. She changed the subject. “Where’s
Connor?”
“A patient had an emergency and Connor rushed back to the hospital. Don’t worry, Mia. I will definitely
stay by your side this time. I promise I won’t be swayed by other women again.”
Mia turned to him. “You don’t have to do this, Claude. This has nothing to do with you.”

She was more concerned about Timothy discovering her pregnancy than Felix and his mother.
However, she didn’t know if Connor had told Claude about it. She believed Connor would keep it a
secret for her.
Claude’s eyes watered. Mia didn’t blame him! When he arrived earlier, Connor’s scolding had made
him ashamed and he couldn’t bring himself to look anywhere else but the ground. He was
terrified that Mia would be angry at him.

turned cold. “Don’t worry, Mla. I will avenge you
Mia recalled the harsh beating Felix got from Timothy’s men and pursed her lip. “That can wait. I’ll
handle it myself.”
It was true that Timothy assaulted Felix. Although the Barretts‘ legal team was formidable, Barrett
Group’s image would still be affected if news got out.
She had to hold the cards in her hand, at least until Connor arranged for her to move out.
Claude reluctantly agreed, but his anger remained. He had to find an opportunity to deal with Felix. He
heard Felix had a studio.
Mia suddenly spoke up, “Claude, I’m hungry. I want to eat the food from that popular restaurant we
went to last time.”
“Okay, I’ll call them right away.” Claude nodded.
After Claude left the room, Mia took out her phone and called Felix.
