Recalling the earlier scene, Connor felt a surge of anger. He had already sensed Timothy's questionable intentions toward Mia, and this incident now confirmed it.It wasn't just an inappropriate interest. It appeared to be a clear motive.Mia coughed lightly. "Connor, I don't think Timothy meant it that way.""What do you mean by 'not meant it that way'? Mia, let me be clear, stay away from Timothy in the future. He's an older man, divorced, and on the verge of remarrying."Aside from having some money, he doesn't possess any other merits. Don't let yourself be swayed by him."Mia couldn't help but feel exasperated at Connor's advice. "Don't worry, I won't fall for him."Certainly, the previous lesson had left its mark. She wouldn't allow herself to be deceived again."Good." Connor sighed in relief.He was genuinely worried that Mia might be captivated by Timothy's gallant gestures. After all, most women tended to be susceptible to such displays.The medical examination concl

A country woman in the group spoke out, "Mia, you're being extremely ungrateful. Without the Bowen family adopting you, do you think you would have been able to live safely until now?"Mary sat on the ground, sobbing loudly. "Mia, I went out of my way to arrange a marriage for you. If you don't agree, that's your choice."But why did you involve the police and accuse us of human trafficking? How heartless of you!""That's right. In our town, arranging marriages is a common tradition, and no one considers it as human trafficking."Gia's mother, Pauline, stepped forward, fixing her gaze on Mia. "Mia, my daughter Gia is about to marry Ted."If you report him to the police and have him arrested now, how are we supposed to proceed with the wedding ceremony?"Standing alongside Ted, Gia implored, "Mia, could you consider heading to the police station and advocating for the release of Bob and the others?"Mia's demeanor remained stoic as she remarked, "I understand that you also receiv

Mia tenderly placed a hand on her abdomen and turned to Connor, inquiring, "Connor, how's Felix holding up? He got injured trying to protect me.""Felix sustained a head injury and a concussion, but it's nothing too serious. He's currently in the hospital."Considering the injuries he endured while trying to rescue you this time, I suppose he just about qualifies as a hero.""Connor, my relationship with Felix isn't what you might think. Besides, I'm pregnant, and it seems unlikely any man would accept me in this situation."Upon hearing this, Connor couldn't help but frown."Mia, please don't let the presence of a child make you feel inadequate. Your brothers are here to support you, and together, your circumstances are anything but a hindrance."Connor went as far as belittling Felix's abilities, dismissing them as merely average.Mia chose not to engage in further debate with Connor on this matter. Instead, she purchased some fruits and proceeded to the hospital ward to check

Mia's words struck a nerve, hitting Maya's sore spot directly.Frustrated, Maya raised her hand. "Mia, who do you think you are, labeling me as a mistress? Just so you know, my brother is also in this hospital. I assure you, you'll regret making such accusations!"I've come across countless ill-mannered individuals like yourself. It's ironic how you and Aunt Patricia share the same despicable traits."Without hesitation, Mia firmly grasped Maya's hand and swiftly delivered a resounding slap in return.Mia's gaze turned icy as she retorted, "Maya, you can say whatever you want about me, but mind your words. If I catch you insulting Aunt Patricia again, I swear you'll regret it."Despite Patricia having a timid personality and her share of flaws, she was the one who raised Mia, and Mia wouldn't tolerate anyone speaking ill of her.Maya stared at Mia in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?""I'll strike you whenever I please."Mia's attitude took a fierce turn. She effortlessly reache

This bitch shamelessly dared to seduce Connor for her own benefit, displaying no remorse!Maya was tempted to push the door open and personally expose Mia's true colors. Yet, in the end, she restrained herself.If she were to burst in now, Mia might conjure up various excuses.Maya was determined to devise a comprehensive plan to fully unveil Mia's true character—a single revelation that would settle everything.Inside the hospital room, Mia suddenly glanced toward the window.Connor followed her gaze, asking, "What's wrong?""It's nothing. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me," Mia replied.She had a hunch that someone might
