Seeing Laura’s excitement about her babies, Mia felt torn.
If she were to suddenly disappear in the future, Laura would undoubtedly be devastated and consumed
with worry for Mia and her twins.
Hence, why not disclose the “truth” to Laura at this moment?

Mia considered disclosing to Laura that her pregnancy had been a pretense, fabricated solely to
persuade her into undergoing surgery.
Despite the likelihood of Laura being upset, Mia reasoned that revealing the truth before leaving Bern
City could alleviate Laura’s future sadness.
“Mia, what did you want to say?” Laura asked.
Caught in her tender gaze, Mia’s eyes welled up with tears. “Grandma, there’s something I need to
confess. I’ve been deceiving you all this time. The truth is, I was never-”
“Grandma!” Timothy’s firm voice cut off Mia’s sentence abruptly.
He pushed the door to the ward open and entered, his footsteps drew closer until he stopped beside
her. Mia’s breath caught as she turned to find Timothy in a pinstripe suit, his white sleeves visible.
Mia couldn’t help but clench her hands tightly together; she was on the verge of confessing the truth to
Laura.
Unfortunately, Timothy’s sudden appearance at that moment interrupted Mia’s words. It was truly
exasperating!
Considering it was early morning, shouldn’t Timothy be upied with work and meetings at the office?
Mia found herself somewhat annoyed by Timothy’s unexpected appearance at the hospital. Was he
here to stir up trouble?
Laura nced at Timothy and asked nonchntly, “So, are you finally willing toe and see me?”
In aposed tone, Timothy replied, “Grandma, I was here just a couple of days ago.”
Laura expressed her disappointment, saying, “Well, considering you came alone, it would have been
better if you hadn’te at all.”
However, her demeanor softened as she turned to Mia, offering a warm smile. “Mia, why don’t you pick
something you like?
“I’ll arrange for it to be purchased and aired out for your future children to use when they’re born.”
Seeing Laura’s joyful expression, Mia felt uneasy.
However, as she epted the tablet, her mood turned solemn.
“Sy the way, Mia, what were you about to tell me just now?” Laura chimed in.
Mia stood there with the tablet in her hands, yet she couldn’t muster the courage to utter the words she
had intended to say.
Feeling overwhelmed by Timothy’s persistent gaze beside her, Mia could only force a smile and reply,”
It’s nothing really.
“I’ve been upied with the design of the university halltely, and it turned out to be a great sess. I
simply wanted to share this good news with you.”
“That’s great. Mia, now that your busy schedule is behind you, please make sure to prioritize rest.
“I’ve noticed you’ve lost weight recently, and I know pregnancy can be challenging. Please, don’t let me
worry about you.”
Mia nodded affirmatively. “I understand. Following this hectic period, I won’t undertake any additional
tasks. Instead, I’ll concentrate solely on attending sses and getting ready for my exams.”
At the mention of “exams“, Timothy nced at Mia; it seemed like she was getting ready for
graduation. Laura nodded in approval. “That’s wonderful. Once you’ve graduated, make sure to stay
home and take good care of yourself. We’ll address everything else after you’ve given birth.”
Mia gazed down at her tablet, unable to muster the courage to meet Laura’s eyes. As Mia observed the
images of the baby crib and stroller on the screen, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.
“Grandma, I’m finding it hard to decide too. Without seeing the actual items, it’s tough to make a
choice.”
“I understand. Since Timothy is here today, why don’t you both go to the store together to make a
selection?” Laura suggested.
Mia quickly lifted her head and declined, saying, “Grandma, I’m certain he’s swamped with work and
wouldn’t have time to join me. I can manage on my own.”
However, the next moment, Timothy’s voice chimed in beside her. “I actually have some free timeter.
We can go shopping for a couple of hours.”
