Chapter 391
As the call went on, Timothy turned to Mia, his gaze turning dark and broody. Finally, he cleared his
throat and replied in a hoarse voice, “Got it,”
Mia noticed Timothy’s change in demeanor and a sudden sense of unease washed over her.
Timothy suddenly growled, “So, you’re testifying for Felix and accusing me of kidnapping and assault?”
Hearing this. Mia recalled her recent trip to the police station with Felix. Her eyes flickered. She thought
she needed leverage against Timothy.
But she never anticipated Laura waking up at such a crucial moment.
Though Mia knew it wasn’t right to use Laura as leverage, she couldn’t dwell on it now. But she had
only brought Laura up as a shield, never intending to actually cause harm to the old woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew Timothy well. He’d surely compromise for Laura’s sake.
But she didn’t expect Timothy to suggest calling off their divorce, and even sparing her child. This
caught her off guard.
Didn’t he say he wanted the child gone? What was with the sudden change of mind? Or was this a ploy
by Timothy to buy time?
While Mia was lost in thought, Timothy approached her with a piercing gaze. “Answer me.”
He had sent someone to teach Felix a lesson in order to protect Mia from being deceived. Yet she
was siding with Felix to sue him!
Timothy sneered. He had never felt like this before. He had never gone easy on his enemies. Except
for Mia, time and again.
And now she had betrayed him!
Mia swallowed nervously. “As long as you don’t harm my child, I can convince Felix to drop the
charges. And I’ll even avoid testifying.”
“Haha, do you think you can frame and threaten me? Since I had someone kidnap and beat Felix up,
I’d made sure there were no loose ends. I didn’t lay a finger on him. Even if those responsible are
found, they’ll take the fall for me. Mia Bowen, you’re too naive.”
Mia’s breath caught and she unconsciously stumbled back.

Timothy’s gaze was dark and piercing.
Soon, Mia felt a weight on her shoulders and heard Connor’s voice. “Mrs. Barrett Senior’s
examination is done.”
When Mia turned around and saw Timothy, she sighed a breath of relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut when the two men locked eyes, tension spiked.
Timothy glared at Connor darkly. If it wasn’t because Connor was Laura’s doctor, he wouldn’t
have tolerated him.
Connor gazed back at Timothy disdainfully. He never liked Timothy! Luckily, Mia would soon be
divorcing him. Once Dominic sorted out the paperwork, they could leave Bern City for good.
The two men stared at each other before quickly looking away, both finding the other disagreeable.
Mia turned back to Connor. “Where’s Grandma Laura?”
“She’s been moved to a regular ward. But she needs plenty of rest. It’s best not to disturb her.”
Connor smiled.
“How did the examination go?” asked Mia.
“They went well. As long as she takes care of herself, there shouldn’t be any further issues. She needs
to stay in good spirits and avoid any mishaps that could affect her recovery. I’ll be checking on her
regularly while she’s still recovering.” Connor hummed.
