Mia tenderly ced 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 rtionship with Felix isn’t what you might think. Besides, I’m pregnant, and it seems


    unlikely any man would ept 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 on Felix.


    To her surprise, she found a middle–aged woman in the room, presumably Felix’s mother.


    With a pang of guilt, Mia questioned, “Felix, how are you feeling?”


    “Mia, are you okay? I was genuinely concerned that something might have happened to you.” Felix


    expressed.


    A warm smile spread across Felix’s face upon seeing Mia, though his head was still wrapped with white


    bandages.


    Beside Felix, Janice swiftly steadied him, cautioning, “Felix, be careful. The doctor emphasized that


    you shouldn’t be moving around too much with that concussion. It could impede your recovery.


    “Although Mia seems unharmed, your injuries are quite severe.”


    “Mom, I’ve already briefed you on the situation, haven’t I? Mia, don’t pay too much attention to her. As


    long as you’re okay, I’m at ease.” Felix reassured Mia.


    Mia had already discerned that the middle–aged woman was Felix’s mother.

    She nced at Janice and offered a sincere apology. “Mrs. Quilter, I’m truly sorry. This time, I’ve


    undeniably caused trouble for Felix.”


    “It’s good that you acknowledge your mistakes. Felix is usually treated like royalty, and he’s never


    experienced such a serious injury, especially to the head.


    “If there are anysting consequences, Felix might end up remaining single,” Janice remarked, her


    tone infused with displeasure.


    Mia drew in a deep breath before responding earnestly, “Felix sustained injuries because of me. If any


    lingering effects persist in the future, I am fullymitted to taking responsibility for them.”


    Upon hearing Mia’s words, Janice appeared somewhat satisfied.


    “That’s more like it, Ms. Bowen. You have to understand–I’ve been watching over and caring for Felix


    with utmost dedication.


    “If anything were to happen to him, it would be difficult for me to face his deceased father, who


    entrusted him to my care.”


    Mia quickly stepped forward tofort Janice. “Mrs. Quilter, I hold no me toward you. I understand


    the depth of your concerns for Felix’s well–being.”


    “Ms. Bowen, you strike me as a sensible andpassionate soul, one who knows how to


    acknowledge and repay kindness,” Janice said, sping Mia’s hand.


    Despite feeling a bit awkward, Mia chose not to pull away, maintaining her seat with a smile that


    seemed forced.

    “Ms. Bowen, I’ve heard that you work at Felix’s studio and have even achieved some noteworthy


    awards. He often speaks highly of you in my presence,” Janice continued.


    Mia offered a somewhat awkward smile. “Yes. While Felix has been generous with his praises, I


    must admit that I’ve caused him some trouble. Nheless, he’s been remarkably patient with


    me.”


    “Indeed, I’ve seen Felix consistently demonstrate kindness and generosity toward others. Ms. Bowen,


    I’m curious to hear your perspective on Felix. How would you describe your opinion of


    him?”


    H


    Mia blinked, considering her words before replying, “Well, I think Felix is a nice person.”


    “I must say, Felix has been remarkable since childhood, garnering quite a bit of attention from the


    ladies. Back in his school days, he used to receive love letters quite frequently.” Janice added.


    Felix interjected. “Mom, why are you bringing up those moments?”

    “Felix, there’s nothing wrong with recalling fond memories. Ms. Bowen, pardon my directness, but are


    you currently single? Do you have a boyfriend?” Janice asked, getting straight to the point.


    Mia felt a surge of awkwardness. Was Janice trying to act as a matchmaker between her and


    Felix?
