Chapter 263
Upon witnessing the unfolding scene, Mia found herself utterly astonished.
The last thing she anticipated was her brothers encountering Timothy at the hospital, and the potential consequences seemed ominous. Could this be the onset of a disaster?
Mia was hesitant to reveal her relationship with Timothy to her brothers.
Given Dominic’s formidable temperament, she knew he would ensure that Timothy faced severe
repercussions if he were to discover the truth.
This was a scenario she couldn’t let unfold. Mia was determined to put a halt to it.
Dominic fixed a stern gaze on Timothy as he led his brothers into the hospital room, instantly
making the space feel even more confined.
Upon spotting the Lane brothers, Timothy displayed a touch of confusion. Why were they here?
In no time. Connor reappeared with a bowl of fruits. As he observed Dominic and his brothers
approaching, a wave of relief washed over him.
Yet, upon laying eyes on Timothy, Connor’s reception was far from friendly. He questioned, “Why are you still here?”
Furrowing his brow, Timothy countered. “What’s the problem with me being here?”
Considering he had just rescued Mia, couldn’t he be allowed to stay for a while?
Stepping forward, Liam placed his hand on Timothy’s shoulder. “Timothy, come with me. Allow
me to clarify why you can’t stay here.”
In the blink of an eye, Timothy found himself ushered out of the hospital room.
Liam stood at the doorway, speaking in a hushed tone. “Don’t you see you’ve interrupted our family reunion? Is being a third wheel something you enjoy?”
Timothy was taken aback.
What did Liam imply by “family reunion“? Could it be that Mia and Connor had reached the stage
of introducing each other to their respective families?
At that moment, Heath hurried over, addressing Timothy, “Mr. Barrett, the culprits behind the kidnapping have been captured. What should be our next move?”
Reflecting on the recent events. Timothy responded with a steely expression. “Why are you

With Mia being surrounded by a multitude of men, it seemed there was no need for Timothy to intervene.
Within the confines of the hospital room, Mia leaned against the bed, offering her brothers a reassuring glance. “Dominic, I truly am okay. If you’re skeptical, feel free to ask Connor.”
Placing the bowl of fruits beside her, Connor advised, “Mia, it’s important that you take some time to rest and recuperate. I’ve brought you some fruits. Make sure to eat them.”
Initially, Dominic had so much he wanted to say; however, upon witnessing Mia’s safe return, not a single word escaped his lips.
For him, nothing carried greater importance than Mia’s well–being.
Nathan handed a smartphone to Mia, saying, “Take it. Feel free to call us if you need anything.”
Offering reassurance, Connor stated, “Don’t worry, with me at the hospital, everything will be fine.”
After her brothers exited the room, Mia found herself lying alone, her hand unconsciously resting on her abdomen. Thankfully, everything was fine this time.
The following day, Mia made plans to depart from the hospital, driven by a personal desire for Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
revenge.
Connor remained steadfast by her side. “Mia, why are you in such a rush to leave? How about
considering staying for another day? Keep in mind, you’re carrying a child now.”
“But, Connor, I simply can’t endure this frustration any longer.”
Throughout the night, Mia was tormented by nightmares, unable to shake off thoughts of what might have transpired if Timothy hadn’t arrived in time.
“Mia, Dominic is taking care of the situation. Trust him. We won’t allow your adoptive parents to
escape this time.” Connor reassured.
Before Mia could respond, the hospital room door swung open.
Mary, Ted, and Gia walked in, accompanied by a group of people dressed in country–style clothing.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Ted turned to Mia. “Dad’s been detained. Could you quickly head
to the police station and assist in getting him and the others released?”
Mary appeared uneasy, stating, “Considering that Bob is your adoptive father, how can you simply

Mia scoffed, “They have no ties to me whatsoever. I don’t consider you as my adoptive parents. In
fact, you’re the ones in the wrong.”
