Mia offered an awkward smile. “Mrs. Quilter, I’ll go wash some fruits.”
She found an excuse to step out of the hospital room, finally exhaling a sigh of relief. The preceding
conversation had left her feeling slightly overwhelmed..
As Mia exited, Felix turned to Janice, questioning. “Mom, why did you bombard Mia with so many
questions? She’s a bit sensitive, you know.”
“Felix, dear, don’t you understand? If I don’t address these matters now and establish some
boundaries, how can I be her future mother–inw?
“You mentioned Mia’s remarkable talents, didn’t you? If I don’t establish my stance, she might
be overly assertive, especially with you.”
Felix sighed, expressing a sense of helplessness. “Mom, you’re overthinking. Mia isn’t that kind of
person.”
“Felix, I’m looking out for your well–being here. Your recent injury happened because of Mia, and I
can’t shake the feeling that she might have feelings for you.
“If I don’t take the initiative and y matchmaker, when will you find the opportunity to pursue
her? Isn’t it a shame to let your pain go to waste?”
Janice couldn’t bear to see Felix hurt, and if Mia failed to appreciate him, Janice wouldn’t let her
off so easily.
Felix leaned against the pillows, saying, “Mom, I know what I’m doing. Please refrain from
nterfering.”
‘Mia is just an orphan, and you are more than deserving of being with her. It appears she might be
ying hard to get, trying to assert control over you.”

However, these were sentiments Felix couldn’t share with Janice. After all, she wouldn’t grasp the
situation, and divulging such information might only create moreplications for him.
Shortly after, Mia entered the hospital room with freshly cleaned fruits, expressing her gratitude.” Felix,
thank you for saving me this time.”
“It’s no big deal. I’m just curious who would dare to harm someone in a bustling city like this.”
Felix mused.
“Well, it’s because my adoptive parents epted bribes from the culprits. The good news is that the
police have apprehended them, and they will face the consequences,” Mia rified.
Felix nodded understandingly. “That’s a relief. I’ve been genuinely concerned about your situation.”
Seizing the moment, Janice chimed in. “Absolutely! Felix has been extremely worried about you. He
could hardly eat or get proper sleep in the hospital.”
Mia stole a nce at Felix, a sense of helplessness washing over her. It seemed imperative to find the
right moment to exin things to him and prevent any possible misunderstandings.
After concluding her visit, Mia returned to her hospital room.
However, upon opening the door, she was taken aback to find an unexpected visitor–was that Maya?
A hint of caution flickered in Mia’s eyes as she questioned, “What are you doing here?”
“I heard you were nearly kidnapped and taken to the mountains to bear a child. I came to check on you.
It’s a shame. It appears you’re fine.
“Could this be a staged act, purposely setting it up for Tim toe to your rescue?” Maya remarked
sarcastically.
Maya had caught wind of Timothy’s relentless efforts, mobilizing significant resources to locate Mia.
The more Maya dwelled on it, the more jealousy festered within her. Why did Timothy call off their
engagement only to treat that wretched Mia with such care?
Mia couldn’t help but smirk. “Maya, your perspective is a reflection of the person you are.”
“Don’t act all high and mighty, Mia. I warn you not to entertain any delusions. You and Time from
different worlds. It’s an impossible match,” Maya cautioned.
Arching an eyebrow, Mia retorted, “Timothy and I are an impossible match? Coming from a mistress,
you don’t seem to have the qualifications to meddle, do you?

“Given that your previous engagement was called off, it appears you’re destined to remain in the
role of a mistress. As long as I stand firm, there will be no chance for you to rece me.”
