Observing Laura growing agitated, Mia hastened to console her.

Retrieving the document, she handed it over to Timothy, urging him, “Please, sign it.”

Mia raised her gaze to meet Timothy’s. His eyes were subtly squinted, holding a profound and

mysterious depth.

Locked in a silent exchange, Mia placed the document into his hands, saying, “For Grandma’s sake,

please sign it. If you don’t, she won’t consent to the surgery.”

Laura let out a disdainful snort. “Exactly. If you refuse to sign it, I won’t proceed with the surgery. Even

if you manage to get me into the operating room, I’ll find a way out.”

Mia stood alone, aware of Sharon’s piercing gaze. If looks could kill, she would have been dead by

now.

Ultimately. Timothy conceded, taking the document and affixing his signature to it.

Observing Timothy’s authoritative signature, Mia handed the document to Laura. “Grandma, Tim has

signed it. Is everything resolved now?”

Satisfied, Laura took the document and placed it in front of Mia, declaring, “Now you sign it too.”

“Grandma, you only requested Timothy’s signature a moment ago. I never agreed to sign it,” Mia

replied.

Her words left everyone present in disbelief. They didn’t expect Mia to make such a statement.

Timothy narrowed his eyes, curious about Mia’s intentions.

Having persuaded him to sign the document just moments ago, Mia’s sudden refusal left Timothy

puzzled.

Taken aback, Laura questioned, “Mia, why are you reluctant to sign it?”

After all, Laura had fought so hard for Mia’s rights. Why then was Mia being so stubborn?

Mia tenderly clasped Laura’s hand and expressed, “Grandma, with Tim having already signed the

document, the paperwork is technically finalized.

“I’d prefer to sign the document with you present after your surgery is completed. Would that be

alright?”

Laura was momentarily stunned, realizing that Mia’s decision to postpone her signature was

Laura’s eyes welled up with tears as she asked, “Why are you being so foolish?“”

“Well, they say foolish folks have their share of luck. The baby and I will eagerly await your return from

the operating room.”

Mia recognized that everything Laura did was with her best interests in mind, and it seemed like Laura

was meticulously preparing her will.

Despite this, Mia held onto the hope that Laura would safely recover from the operation.

Timothy looked at Mia in surprise, his emotions suddenly becoming complicated. He hadn’t anticipated

that Mia’s recent decision was driven by a genuine concern for Laura.

Shortly afterward, the medical team arrived on the scene.

Wearing a white coat, Connor entered the room and observed that the entire Barrett family was

gathered. His attention was drawn to Mia. Indeed, he had anticipated her presence today.

Adhering to the customary protocol, Connor initiated the routine examination for Laura, and the process

proceeded seamlessly:

He instructed, “Escort Mrs. Barrett Senior to the operating room for the surgical procedure.”

Mia turned her gaze toward Laura and offered reassurance, “Grandma, remember that all of us are

eagerly anticipating your return.”

Laura sighed softly, choosing not to broach the subject of the document again.

She lay obediently on the hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses, and was gently

wheeled out.

Connor shot a cold glance at the Barretts. If it weren’t for Mia, he wouldn’t have agreed to perform

this surgery.

Sharon smiled and addressed Connor, “Dr. Lane, we’re counting on you for Mrs. Barrett Senior’s

surgery later. After all, we’re practically becoming one big family. There’s no need for formalities.”

Connor replied curtly, “I’m sorry, but I don’t consider myself a part of the Barrett family.”
