Chapter 155

Mia kept her composure despite Maya’s snark remarks.

“Can’t I be here to check on Grandma Laura? After all, her surgery hasn’t been decided.”

She didn’t mention that she had Connor looking for a doctor.

However, she wanted to know whether Timothy knew why Maya’s brother couldn’t perform the surgery.

Maya’s grin widened. “Is that so? I don’t think you have to do that now because my brother has agreed

to operate on Grandma Laura.

“The surgery will take place by the end of this month, and she’ll recover soon.”

Mia was slightly stunned when she heard her. Instinctively, she glanced over at Timothy. “Really?”

There wouldn’t be any changes or delays, right?

Timothy nodded. “She’s right. The surgery is going to take place by the end of this month.”

Mia lowered her gaze as she muttered, “That’s good. I hope everything goes smoothly for Grandma

Laura’s

surgery.”

In fact, this was also better.

Meanwhile, Maya was over the moon. Initially, she thought she completely lost the chance. Who knew

she was in favor of an opportunity?

Nonetheless, this was great news for Maya. This way, Mia would no longer be a threat to her.

She smirked, glancing up at Timothy as she said, “Let’s go, Tim. We have to inform Grandma Laura

about the good news.”

Mia could no longer stay when she heard her. She spun around and took the stairs down.

A smile was plastered on Maya’s face as she watched her leave.

“Tim, let’s go.”

Timothy withdrew his gaze as he stated indifferently, “Don’t tell Grandma about this now. Otherwise,

she’ll refuse to undergo surgery.”

Maya turned sullen as she replied, “It can’t be that bad, can it? My brother’s an elite doctor.”

Back then, she cowered when Timothy was involved in the car accident.

Yet now, she was saving Laura’s life by begging Dominic and Cooper to get him to operate on her.

So, what was with her not appreciating her effort at all?

Laura was so kind to Mia because she saved Timothy’s life. In this case, why couldn’t she treat Maya

better since Maya was saving her life?

A hint of warning glinted in Timothy’s eyes as he snapped, “Maya, you better not go overboard.”

In an instant, Maya shrunk her neck and retorted in guilt, “Tim, rest assured. I won’t do anything bad.

“However, I only managed to convince Dominic and Cooper to agree to perform the surgery because I

lied that you were going to marry me. You heard what Cooper sald earlier.”

“I remembered agreeing on a fake engagement. This is nothing more than a deal.”

“I’m aware of that. Nonetheless, even though it’s fake, we still need a ceremony to put on a show for

my brothers. Otherwise, I can’t really explain myself if they asked anything.

“After all, there’s still plenty of time until the end of this month. We can’t afford to wait if something

happens to Grandma Laura.”

As Maya stared at Timothy, she was buzzing with elation. Once the engagement ceremony was carried

out, it would be real. There was no way that she would fake it.

By then, her brothers would definitely side with her, and Timothy would be left with no choice but to

marry her.

Yet, she had to remain calm now. She would do anything to ensure the engagement ceremony

proceeded smoothly.

“Of course, you would carry on with your engagement according to the fixed date,” Sharon chimed in.

With a pleased expression, she tugged Maya along as she exclaimed. “Laura’s attending doctor called

and mentioned that your brother came over. This is good news!

“As for your engagement, I can assure you that nothing will happen. You can even invite your brothers

over.”

Maya lowered her gaze as she flashed a gentle smile. Nevertheless, there was a complicated look in

her eyes.

Mia took long, wide strides as she headed out from the hospital.

“Mia!”

Connor was waiting for her downstairs. He saw how she hurried off outside, and something was off

with her expression.
